  • I do all my strength training at home with dumbbells and resistance bands. I have a workout put together by a personal trainer, and it kicks my butt! I used to do The Abs Diet extreme workout, and there is an option there to do all of the exercises at home with minimal equipment. That was a great workout too (and I…

  • Not currently, but I grew up in there! Still have family there and visit often. I'm in Vermont now, which is amazing, but I do still love the Hudson Valley.

  • 5.4 pounds in 21 days.... so that's like 0.25/day. The weight's not flying off, but at least it's moving in the right direction!

  • Watch "Hungry for Change." It's a documentary about the American diet & food industry. They talk a lot about how bad diet soda is for you - and how bad aspartame is for your body.

  • Good luck! I started low(er) carb (50 or less per day - hopefully around 30-35 net) about a week or so ago and it's been great thus far! It takes time to figure out the meals that work for you and get a rhythm going, but hopefully it's worth it. I have lost a few pounds already and am sleeping like a ROCK! Feel free to add…

  • Yeah, not too many of us here, but I know there are more Vermonters on MFP who just haven't found this group yet. :(

  • I am barely 5' and my recommended minimum is 1,200. I think it's quite high for my size, but I try to follow it anyway. (Some days I do eat less than that, but I definitely try to hit 1,200-1,300 on days I work out.) I know they say 1,200 minimum, but I'm little. It seems like no matter how much I work out, I never seem to…

  • I get up at 4:30 - at the gym by 4:45 for about an hour workout. It isn't ideal (I'd much rather sleep), but with kids and work and everything else, the only time I have is the crack of dawn! It hurts to get out of bed that early, but once I'm at the gym and moving, I'm fine. The nice part is that the gym is relatively…
