I know this an old post but thought I would reply any way. My son had meltdowns many,many times a day...there were days when hubby came home I locked myself in the bedroom curled up and just bawled for an hour or so. It turned out he was in sensory overload and because he was nonverbal could not tell me. I cleared out his…

I found that I feel a lot better when I replace stress eating with exercise(walking while listening to favorite tunes) Works 3 ways 1. gets me away from stressful situation...2. helps me lose weight ....3. endorphins feel great!!!! After a good walk(4 miles works for me) I feel happy and like I could take on the world!!!!…

Hi! I understand how hard it is to make friends....at my old house they referred to me as roadrunners mom(what they called my son because he eloped all the time) They never bothered to learn any of our names:grumble: Wouldn't let my daughter(who is not asd)play with their children.:mad: They would even cross the street…

I did it and lost many inches but not wieghtwith it . I was already doing more cardio so the dvd by itself was not enough for me to lose weight but the strength training part was great for losing inches. I got hurt 1/2 through level 2....hip and shoulders could not take the beating(previously severely injured) But you are…

I was pregnant with my daughter when the twins got the asd diagnoses....we watched her like a hawk but she was fine as are my 2 little ones.

My twin sons are 15 and still nonverbal. They are very facailly expressive and use sign and augmentive devices (computerized pecs that speak) to communicate. It's still a dance two steps forward one step back but they improve and gain new skills constantly. I worry and occasionally cry but all in all I am mostly proud.…

I had 3 this week....1st dropped a pant size maybe more(don't have 2 sizes down to try but the 1 size down i'm wearing are real baggy:bigsmile: ) 2nd did 4 mile walk in 35 minutes usually takes me an hour...was flying high when I got home! and 3rd when I went for a walk last night 2 other ladies I past gave me dirty looks…

I'm at 218 so I'm definately in :happy: I want Santa to bring me some new clothes:bigsmile:

I know it sounds corny but I always thought it would be cool to have Santa sitting by a christmas tree as guests came in .... they would get their picture taken with Santa ....they would get a copy for a keepsake and sign another one to be put in the guestbook. That way you have a photo album of everyone at your wedding…

I was losing weight but very very slowly then last week I did some extra strength training sweated up a storm but no heart raise ....so when I did the shred I checked and my heartrate barely raised. I was working out much harder cardio wise before I started the shred and longer too. the shred was toning my muscles so the…

I looked at your dairy and most days you are not eating enough...you need to eat at least the 1220 everyday or you will slow down your metablismwhich equals no weight lose.So eat all your 1220 and keep doing all the good things you've been doing and you'll start shrinking in no time :D good luck

If you are leaning forward during the lunges you put alot of pressure on your knees. Maybe try doing the lunges with no weights to get your form down or just using a lighter weight for the lunges. Hope this helps:smile:

Yep! I feel the same. At the beginning I'm grumpy and tired and at the end I'm energized and thrilled.Don't know how JM does it but I love it!!!:bigsmile:

day 7 lv.1 done:bigsmile:
