One great way to cut down on carbs that I recently discovered through neighbors in my produce co-op: julienne squash instead of using spaghetti noodles! Zucchini or yellow squash in the summer, spaghetti squash in the winter. Or use lettuce for wraps instead of bread. As long as you use enough herbs and spices, you don't…

I've got one on my left shoulder blade (leo, lion, sun - in the shape of a heart). I got it the first time I dropped 30lb in 2010. I'm 7.5 months post-baby now and 10lb from my lowest weight. I'll get one on my right shoulder blade when I hit that again. Maybe one for my son this time. And if you have a low opinion of…

I only really see results doing 30DS twice a day, or in combination with another workout every day. I've been doing 30DS for 6 weeks and I'm on level 2. Level 3 intimidates me and kinda hurts my knees (lots of plyometrics - like p90x). I go up a level once I felt I'd mastered the current level - starting with easy (Anita)…

I googled it the other day and for the average size woman, Level 2 burns only like 180 calories, so I added my own Exercise so I just select that when I do 30DS, L2. Update: This is what I found. Your starting weight and fitness level will impact how many calories you burn doing the Level 2 "30 Day Shred" workout. With a…

I've got a 7 month old and I gained 40lbs during the pregnancy (I was doing great until the third trimester and then I totally gave in). Then I didn't lose nearly as much giving birth as I thought I would (only 15lb)! The first 5 months, I used BFing as an excuse not to diet or exercise, and I was going to playdates with…

I have something similar happening to me. Perhaps it is caused by my late workouts (after the baby is put to bed), but I don't have a problem getting to sleep. Every time i go through a sleep cycle, instead of just drifting into the next cycle I'll fully wake up and the only thing I can do to get back to sleep is flip from…

I drink "real' sodas only rarely. I switched to drinking Zevia (stevia) sodas several years ago, after deciding that liquid calories were my enemy and learning that the "fake" sugars in diet sodas cause you to overeat. I still hate the taste of Zevia, because it takes just like diet soda, but they have a lot of flavors…

1. I haven't kept the same hair cut, style or color for longer than 6 months since I graduated from college in 2005. DH hates that. 2. I can do this thing with my eyes where I cross them, then I move the left one side to side while the right one stays on the nose-side, or visa versa. I learned it from my dad, but everyone…

My favorite home workout attire is Soffe Junior teeny tiny shorts and a sports bra (matching colors, of course). My husband drools over them and I have every motivation in the world to workout harder so I can look better in them. The shorts really bare-all, so every pound lost and muscle gained shows. Plus they are CHEAP.…
