Manson, wow....haven't listened to him in awhile. I love his older stuff...I miss those days, lol

Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love me some Type O Negative RIP Peter Steele), Tool is my favorite band of all time!! Anything Maynard touches is awesome, that man has a gift like no other. A VERY huge NIN fan as well. I used to love metal but feel out of touch with it. I seem to be stuck in the 90's (and late 80's) because…

Taco Bell's Fire sauce, I put that on everything. Try it :-D

Open your diary please? Also, how many calories are you taking in? ALSO, muscle weighs more than fat so you could be burning it off but also gaining muscle. The scale is the f**king devil! I've been working my butt off trying to get the scale to move for well over a month now and haven't seen it budge. It's frustrating and…

Feel free to add me :happy:

I just did L2 D4 of the 30DS. This level kills me!! The v-squats really push me over the edge, ugh! I have to stick to the easy version when it comes to those but with the rest I do the advanced version. I have bad carpel tunnel in my right hand/wrist so it makes it very difficult to the planks in this level but I opt out…

Oh I know, 1200 is way too low for me, it made me feel shakey and light -headed also it's possible I have been over estimating my workouts. I'm being extra cautious when and how much I'm eating. I found myself snacking a lot when I was making the kids' lunch and dinner etc. I'd grab a few cheese cubes maybe pop a couple of…

I run after a 18mo and a 4yr old. My twins are only 4 months old so I catch a slight break there, lol. I also have a 8yr old who only visits me on the weekends but he pretty much takes care of himself and would much rather play with the neighborhood boys than his Mom, lol. This time next year will be nothing but running…

In order to keep an ACCURATE (as possible) account of my calories burned, I use a formula to get my total calories burned. I don't just assume that everyone who does "circuit training" for 20 minutes only burns 214 calories. I don't believe MFP is accurate in their calculations there. As with most of their cardio the…

And thanks so much everybody for the feedback, really :-D

Also, I'm going to only log my JM instead of everything else that I do during the day. I kind of feel like I use those earned calories as a way to eat more? I don't know...

When I log my exercises (JM) I log the time I did it longer than what I actually worked out. I don't have a FitBit but I do take my pulse every 10 minutes during my workout. To my calculations (of all the different formulas to track your burned calories I use fitnowtraining.com formula) to find out how many calories I burn…

My diary is now public, I meant to do that in the beginning I just forgot. I 5'4 I weigh 177lbs and I'm looking to get to 140lbs. I have no intentions of giving up. Seeing how I barely understand what I'm doing quitting is the last thing on my mind. I do get discouraged and unmotivated but quitting is a no-go in my book.

I have a lot of nerve damage too, I still can't feel my entire lower belly, it's just numb, lol. Maybe that'll go away as time goes on, hopefully, lol.

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

Everybody has stress and some think that it's worse than others it's just a matter of opinion here but to be truthful..stop making excuses...really. If you really want to change and really wanted to workout, you would...plain and simple. Sorry dear :-/

I'm on L2 of the 30 Day Shred. I've always used 5lb weights. I've lost almost 20lbs, but I've been dieting for almost a couple months now. I do 30DS 5 days a week with Saturday and Sunday as my rest days.

I do two workouts a day. I mix up between Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and her Ripped In 30 dvds. It's tough, but I push through. I don't do the same level though. For example, in the morning I do 30DS Level 2 and then in the late afternoon/evening I do Ripped In 30 Level 1. I just flip flop those day by day. A mix of…

That's what I was thinking as well ^^^^

I'll try the slow cooker idea this weekend. I've had some really soft and had some with a bite both ways I like. I just don't want all the grease, butter and sodium that comes along with the popular southern recipes. I also DON'T want to overcook them because that's when they lose the health benefits that comes along with…

I didn't mean I want to eat them raw (like a salad). I meant that I'm just flat out salad' out, lol. I want COOKED greens instead of a salad. I did find a mildly quick recipe that has TONS of great reviews, I'm gonna try it out tonight. I'll let ya know how it comes out :-)…

I looked up a few recipes and all of them are not on the quick side. I'd like to replace collard greens with salads some days that's why I need a quick recipe. I have 4 children all under the age of 3 at home, so my time is precious, lol.

Hi! I'm totally committed to getting rid of this weight! Feel free to add me, I'm gonna add some of the above ladies as well seeing as they seem just as committed ;-). I need some more friends on MFP to help wit motivation and inspiration. I think MFP is one of the best things to happen to me, without it would be very…
