I preffer the elliptical. No impact on the knees. I can workout for about 2 hrs straight, while if I run, my knees can't take more than an hr. I have an elliptical with an incline, so you can have a heavier workout and pump your heart rate higher.

Keep it up! We're here to support your! You're doing GREAT!!!! Look fab! You'll be back in that bikini soon!!! Hopefully, so will I!

I'm baaaaaack! And needless to say, I WONT do my weigh in or stats this wk... I did plenty of walking, but not enough exercise to cover for all the eating. Although not as bad as I could've... Daisy - congrats on the flat, so exciting!!! and I don't see a problem starting our new workout plans on mid Jan. Actually, it's…

Hi Mike! WTG on this week's challenge! As I told you, I can't make it this week. I'll be out until Tue, so I might join you on your next one then, but who knows, you're too good! i can't keep up with you guys! The good thing about this is that Santa's bringing me a HRM (I got a Polar FT7), so I'll know the exact calories I…

Ok ladies, just checking in with you guys to see what's up, but still not logging any food. I've been really bad, having chocolate and everything, but on Tue I'll go back in schedule and for now, I'll enjoy life a bit! Plenty of shopping. Both my feet and my wallet hurt! :) I would love to be as thin as my wallet now, but…

Hi there!!!! I'm available to chat, which is odd because I thought I was going to be logging my calories on my iPhone and wouldn't be able to check on you guys online, but it happened to be the other way around! I'm still on "vacation" (working hard to find the best deals in town!) and was logging my foods fine until last…

Oh and MTDork, thx for taking the time to post the chart - really amazing everyone!!!! Congrats, keep going!

I was able to do BIU with hubby AGAIN today!!! PLUS my elliptical and some tennis (doubles). I had joined a calorie challenge and exceeded it by about 700 cals!!!! It was great all the dancing I did Fri night! :) So tomorrow is my last day excersicing until I come back from Miami Mon night. I'll try to eat as healthy as…

Happy to say I did BIU this morning with my hubby! Took a little convincing, but he's noticing the changes in my body and did it with me today. I told him I would start P90X next yr, but I really want to get more BIU in. It's getting harder and harder to fit in a workout in my Dec schedule. I'm heading out for the States…

I'm up for P90X, but maybe for next yr, whoever is up for it! And yes, depending on how this next week goes, I'll have to relocate the DVD. Guilty on Sat for chowing down as many Xmas cookies possible! But got up today and work my butt off (elliptical), but it would've been nicer for the workout to be extra/additional, not…

Hi there, it's me again! LOVE the mix!!!! Still listening! I'm no computer whiz. Is there a way I can save it somewhere and copy it to my iPod? Have no idea how to do it! Thx!

Listening as I type! PRETTY good! I wish I had it last night for a great party, but now I'll add it to my workout playlist! Thx sooooooo much! Congrats, great job!!! :happy:

Get a heart rate monitor. You can wear it all day for a few days so you can know exactly how many calories you burn strength training, sitting down, working out and brushing your teeth... It's based on your sex, height, age, weight and heart beats. Nothing more accurate than that!

Truhvn - great on working out in the morning. You're right, it's so nice to know you don't have to do it later! Plus, you're energized and NEVER regret having done it! Try to keep going! And I'm with you, we HAVE to continue this thread! It's not only so much fun, but the support is amazing! I'm not ready to move on after…

It happens to me when he's gone because I don't sit down to have an actual, healthy meal. Try sitting down and have a good, healthy meal with your kids, chew slowly and try to exercise more whenever you get a chance. If you're lonely, hit the gym not the fridge!

MTDork - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you! Crossing my finger until I hear back from you! It's a great start! Daisy - I'm from Costa Rica.

Sooo funny about your kids Truhvn! I know the feeling! I've been shaking stuff like that off my chest for a few yrs now; I've done my share. And yes, it's amazing to see you're dropping lbs like if they were melting! Great job! It's great when your clothes aren't as tight! MTDork - please do keep us posted on your acting…

thx for the recipe! Def will try soon! Sounds REAL easy! I wasn't able to fit in BIU today and was really hoping I could. Did the first 25 mins and had to go and pick up my daughter from school. Came back and did another 10-12 mins where I left off and had to help my son for a test. Then had to leave and now I'm all…

congrats!!!! Keep it up! You're doing great! AND you're so much fun to have as a friend! Keep on moving, you can do this!!!

TOM - time of month! No, he's not my boyfriend, but can be very anoying and make me irritable! hahaha! Hope your 3 yr old doesn't remember anything today and good luck to you MTDork today!!! I was just able to do 25 mins of BIU but will try to catch up on that after my 10 am meeting... Talk to you later!

Just checked my last post. My goal for this week is over 5,700. Talk to you later!

I'm in! But not for 9,000. I don't remember how much I did this last week, but I'll increase it 500. Starting tomorrow! Thx for the challenge - I'll do my best!

Hi there again! Landry - copy/paste what MTDork said - PLEASE send recipes. Let's start with easy ones! What a great addition to the team! yay! And deep it up with BIU, it's really not that hard! Daisy - I know exactly how you feel about the weekend. That's usually what happens to me every weekend, especially now for Xmas…
