i think you're gonna be fabulous! :) honestly, there are people who won't work with female trainers, and others who specifically won't work with men. so it's just a matter of finding your niche clientele, which i'm SURE is out there. good luck and keep up the great work helping to change lives, starting with yours no…

i have the FT4 and LOVE it. I didn't go with the FT7 because you cannot change the battery yourself , you're supposed to mail it in. Bizarre. As everyone pointed out, the review comment is incorrect. Took me a moment to understand RTFM. LOL!!!!! hahahaha.....

there are generic guidelines for exercise while pregnant, but please see your doctor. your situation may be different. with something this serious, i think it's vital you seek a TRUE professional's advice that knows your real specifics. good luck and CONGRATULATIONSSSSSSS!!!!! :)

when the person sitting behind me in the theater coughs. and doesn't cover their mouth. and actually makes my hair fly forward in my face. d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g

omg, this made me laugh out loud like a crazy person. HAHAAH. awesome.

wow. how is that only 8-lbs difference? looks like a lot more! ur body definitely redistributed. good job!!!!! keep up the great work! u look amazing

yay to you for wanting to work out in the winter! :) there are plenty of simple exercises you can do at home anytime of the year anytime of the day. lay a towel on the floor and stand to the side of it. try jumping sideways over the towel back and forth. it's surprisingly difficult! first try to jumps that get your heels…

i have the polar f4 w/ cheststrap and i love it. i got it for $79 on amazon w/ free shipping. :) when i first got my HRM i wanted to test it against MFP numbers and shockingly, they're consistently pretty close! MFP tends to be a little higher, but still not too far off. and ive tried it against dancing, cardio,…

i used to keep mental track of how much cardio vs calisthentics i did, generally speaking. if the class was 60 minutes long and we pretty much did 50/50 of each, then i know it's 30 min and 30 min, etc. i just invested in a heart rate monitor w/ chest strap so now i go based off those numbers as it's obviously far more…

hey there. i actually just purchased the Polar FT4F heart rate monitor w/ chest strap last month. before it arrived, i was going to return it because i couldn't foresee a chest strap feeling very comfortable. i am happy to report that i LOVE LOVE LOVE my it! i cant feel the strap at ALL. they did a great job constructing…

heheh, good job motivating your loved one! the two of you are gonna have such great success - i just know it!

aw! love the personality in your post. welcome and i'm sure you'll see the same success as your wife, especially with her as your support! just in time for summer and the beach!

thanks for the recipe! :) i will try it. i've also been meaning to try the recipe below for a creamed spinach as well. i haven't had the chance yet. i've tried her other recipes and seriously they're crazy delicious so i have high hopes. LOL.... http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/09/creamed-spinach-lightened-up.html serving…

well, if it makes any of you ladies feel better, i've always been an A cup and as i gained weight... they stayed an A cup. :( lol.... but everything ELSE on me got big. the only upside to that i guess is that as i'm losing weight, it's coming off from everywhere but my chest. because let's be honest, there's nothing there…

you won't know if you can retrain urself this way until you try it! lol.... and if it doesn't work and you feel deprived, go back to the way you were eating. that's what works for you. we're all different and you really have to acct for YOUR lifestyle. :) great job!

clever idea!!! to keep each other motivated, my gfs and i photo txt each other pics of what we're eating throughout the day! :)

ahhhh good call. :) yum on ryan reynolds!

awwwww!!! so sorry!!! we'll eat them for you. :( btw, LOVE your profile pic. super cute. :)

this morning i had the following omelette: 3 Eggs (whites only) 1/4 cup Red Onions, diced 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese 2 tbsp salsa 1/4 crushed chili peppers total cals = 111 total fat = 2 g took me about 5 minutes to make, extremely satisfying to my taste buds, and filled me up for HOURS. and it's cheap. hehehe.

ohhh ya'll have to try a toasted English Muffin + hummus + wee bit of yellow mustard + 1 tbsp fresh salsa. BEST SNACK EVER!!!!! delish and super filling. and only 180 cals. ;)

In the beginning, I kept my food diary private. I was "embarrassed" by what made the list each day and scared that my friends might "tsk, tsk" me. After I lost my initial 14-lbs in 4 wks, I realized, however, that what I was doing.... was working! And I realized that my food diary looked very different from everyone…

hi. i can only tell you what's worked for me. i eat oatmeal every morning. i eat tons of veggies, esp broccoli and spinach. just today i had a super healthy spinach lasagna (made with organic whole wheat pasta). i work out so much that it's essential i take in good carbs to replenish my muscles and keep my energy up. with…

thanks. i wasn't aware of this either! an aside, for those (like me) who are only allotted 1200, you're already at the minimum. pls do not try to reduce beyond that!!!

lol... when we were younger, my brother used to add NUMEROUS tablespoons of sugar into Frosted Flakes, like 10 spoonfuls. ?!?!??! lol... he was a kid afterall. i actually don't generally eat cereal so i can't be of much help. the only thing close to cereal that i occasionally consume is a flax oat mix that is more, raw…

oh, to be clear, i don't know how long the clearance is. i didn't mean to imply it was just today. lol... it might be for a week or more for all i know. can't wait for it to arrive! it says it'll be here Wednesday. score on free shipping! :)

it's a lonnnnnnnnnnngggg link. lol.... copy and paste! i hope it pops up for u!…

haha, i was being slightly facetious. in fact i drink Peet's Coffee in their French Press To-Go Cup and it's 2 calories, 0 fat, 0 sodium, 0 cholesterol, 0 sugar.

do you feel healthier? do you feel better? are the clothes fitting looser? the numbers on the scale can be misleading. my scale says i gained 3-4 lbs this week, and yet i've lost a whole inch in my waist. the numbers don't always reflect the work you're doing and the positive changes going in your body. pls keep at it and…

i'm a pretty hardcore coffee drinker. i usually get a french press black coffee. :) no sugar, no cream. and lucky for me, it's 0 calories. bc even if it were 150 cals, i would have to find a way to fit it into my quotas! FYI, even though it's not on the menu, you can order a "short" size of any drink. automatically cuts…

wow. what an amazing transformation. you can really see the change. congratulations!!! your hard work is totally paying off!!!!! keep it up!
