I'm happy because 1. I got a good night sleep..the toddler only woke up twice instead of every hour! 2. I lost .5" off my waist!!!! 3. My hair looks good today :)

I'm doing BBL after finishing the 30Day shred. It is a fun workout but as others said, it's not whole body. Targets abs, butt, thighs mainly and that is the area I need major help with. I vote for P90X as I've always heard combo of cardio & weights is most effective way to work out. I'm not much of a cardio lover as it is.…

I love grilled asparagus with a little squeeze of lemon and kosher salt.

I make them the same way I make cabbage. They're kindof like little cabbages and taste very similar. Cut them in half or quarters and cook them with a little olive oil, cumin, turmeric and salt. Cover and cook until done. Yumm. When cooking cabbage I chop it up and add peas in addition to the above. They should turn…

Apple and PB Greek yogurt with berries and a touch of honey string cheese nuts

I'm on week 1 of BBL. So far I've done Basics, Bum Bum , Cardio and Tummy. Today is supposed to be off day but I'm thinking of doing cardio so I can do just High & Tight tomorrow instead of doing both tomorrow. Anyone do this with BBL? Split the workouts so you only have to do 1 in a day? I just don't have the time or…

Wear the shoes. It helps me hold the plank better. Socks slip and slide on the carpet and that's no fun during workouts.

I have a lot of respect for you single, working mommies specially. I don't know how you do it all! I am mom to two - a 7yr old and a 20 month old and have a very supportive hubby. I work full time as a software developer. While it is challenging work, it is sedentary and that's partly the problem. I have slowly accumulated…

So there is hope for me!! I had 2 c-sections. Younger one is 1.5 yrs old. I have the classic pooch as well as an upper tummy or gutt. Ugh. The poster that said she won't do planks in a gym..ME TOO!! I so understand what you're saying.

All right. Here is my perspective from a fellow vegetarian Indian. If I were ever in your shoes, here's what my grocery list will look like Wheat Flour $5 (4lb) Rice $10 (10lb) Red Kidney Beans $6 (4lb) Chickpeas $6 (4lb) Lentils $5 (4lb) Onion $3 (5lb) Potato $3 (10lb) That's $38. With the remaining $12 I'd get Milk, oil,…

I'm 5'0 and my body loves to hang out around 140 these days. A few years ago that # was 130. Since then I've had a baby and am 10 lb heavier. Sigh. With proper food & exercising I get down to around 127 but then it hangs out there forever and I usually give up and it goes right back up. Not this time though. Currently I'm…

What a great transformation!! You look great!

Just a few hours ago I ordered the Accumeasure 3000 off Amazon today. I had seen it linked in someone's success story link (saint someone) Here it is. Only $10. Hope it works well http://www.amazon.com/AccuMeasure-MyoTape-AM-3000-Fitness-Personal/dp/B002VAPHXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327097222&sr=8-1

I started working out 3-4 times a week in beginning of december and my weight went up 4 lb. I've now, middle of Jan, lost the 4 lb. However, I took measurements and I've lost 5.25" so far!!! If it wasn't for the measurements I may have given up already but I do know it's working. My clothes fit better, I have more energy,…

I love PB with apples. My fave snack these days. My 7yo and I fight (jokingly & lovingly) over those LOL I find it so hard to balance the carbs with proteins. If I try to eat more protein (like greek yogurt), I add something to it and the carbs go up. Ok - I was adding tamarind chutney which makes it heavenly but carb…

Have you tried the whole wheat type? It's got a good amount of protein and fiber. Maybe you have a gluten sensitivity..

I don't have any opinion of her show. Yes, she cooks very unhealthy food but I can tell that much from watching her cook. I don't need to know whether or not she has diabetes or heart disease or is obese. I know that by her recipes. I know what effect that kind of eating would have on ME and my family. Type 2 runs in my…

That's wonderful!! You are an inspiration!!

I snack on broccoli when I'm needing some crunch. I'm weird LOL

Good tips everyone. I find I can fit it in my calories just fine but it tips off the fat. I'll try some of your suggestions. I like hummus and greek yogurt too but not as much as PB. Love my PB :)

I'm vegetarian but I eat egg. Breakfast almost every morning is an egg omelet with chai. I eat nuts, whole grains, peanut butter and peanuts, beans and lentils, avocado, fruits and veggies. I've given up white bread (finally!!) I struggle with fat and protein...too little protein, too much fat. I am able to keep the carbs…

I start out by drinking 1 cup chai in the morning...made the right way with milk and sugar ;) Then drink plain water all day. Another chai in the evening with hubby. More water. I love fresh juice but am lazy to make it. Carrot and apples is my favorite.

I'm 5'0. Currently 141 lb. My initial goal is 123 (started at 143) and final goal is 115.
