yummm trying this tonight :-)

I am doing Piyo right now too, on week 7!!! I really like it, doesn't feel too difficult but is a good workout. I am seeing more definition faster than other workouts I have done in the past. Like 123Allyxox I am also doing it to get back into shape after having a baby (11 months ago)!! I have lost 9 lbs in the 6 weeks and…

I am just starting week 4 of PiYo. I like it, but I feel like I might like Chalean Extreme better, going back I think I would have tried that instead. PiYo is a lot of core work, it's a lot of planks, side planks, tricep push-ups, lunges etc. A few of the beginner workouts that you do for the first 3 weeks are really short…

I have read it burns around 300-400 calories a day :-) I was also told not to go under 1700 calories a day to make sure you keep up your supply.

I just ordered it, so excited too :-)

I'm not a dietician by any means but I had gestational diabetes when pregnant so looked into this, the reason to avoid them is they have a very high glycemic index, meaning that they raise your blood sugar level quickly which has all sorts of bad side effects. Probably fine for most people on occasion but definitely want…

Thanks ladies!!!! It sure is hard to wrap my head around not just cutting back calories a ton as that's how I have always done it in the past but this is good, forces me to find a more healthy way to get fit :-)

Thanks dandelion :-) Hopefully now that he is eating more solids it will get easier.

I live in Canada and was given a book called Babies Best Chance by the hospital when we left, every Province has their own version, not sure if they have something similar in the US, but we used this book pretty much every day for the first month or so. You can download it at this link:…

I did 30 day shred for the past 4 days and just started ripped in 30 today as I have done shred so many times I find it boring, even though its hard for me still. Had a baby 8 months ago and need to lose these last 15 lbs!

I was starving all the time at first too and just ate whatever I could get my hands on when baby was sleeping. Now he is 8 months old and I have just started logging my calories. I wouldn't go too low when your little one is so young, you could always check what your calorie intake would be to maintain weight and then see…

oh just read zeenatadam's response, I guess I will do 1800 a day :-) Low calorie, high protein snacks I like are an apple with peanut butter (can't have too much pb though), plain greek yogurt with some berries, or cottage cheese with fruit. I had gestational diabetes so was always looking for low sugar high protein…

I have an 8 month old that I am bf-ing. I decided yesterday I need to track my calories as like pp have said I was comfort eating a lot. I have about 15 lbs to get to my pre-pregnancy weight but my goal is 132 which means I would have to lose 23 lbs. I have done it once before when I was getting married I started at this…

Just finished day one level one!!! I plan to do it the full 30 days in a row (that is if I can even walk tomorrow!!). I completed it about a year and half ago and had great results!

My sister bought one of these recently, I gave it a try and personally found it to be really ackward to use. :ohwell: I would definantely reccommend trying one out before spending the money on it,

Love this list, I am heading down there tomorrow. The only thing I can add is laughing cow cheese is way cheaper down there, I always stock up at Costco during my visits.

yummmmm...going to have to try this one

134 lbs this wednesday!!

Reader's Digest "Magic Foods" is really good I use it all the time, as well I just bought Better Homes and Gardens "Eat Well to Lose Weight" and it has some really good recipes as well. Both list all the nutrition information for each recipe.
