Wow - 500 is low...don't do that again. Healthy workout 3Xwk would be 45-60 minutes and I do mine M/T/TH/S so that I am not completely pooped out or overly sore. SO just listen to your body and right now give it a chance to rest. Feel better - :flowerforyou:

I take Protein shakes at least 1-2 xday- they sell them at Costco and you can substitue for a meal if needed. Or you can check out protein powders. Don't know if that helps or not. Good luck!

Okay so still on my track and completed the Shred yesterday - am pushing for every other day. But for some reason my knee has been really sore..could it be the push ups? - trust me I am not all ready to do them straight legged though it would be funny to see:laugh: Not sure I planned to hit the gym tonight but with TOM and…

I weighed in at 259 and opted to have Lap Band surgery in Oct of last year. Including my pre-surgery weight I had to lose I am down 53.5 pounds. Now the band is merely a tool I had to do a lifestyle change and learn to eat better and exercise. I had tried all the pill fads, Weight Watchers, Slim fast, etc. I think it was a…

Ok so I slacked again on the DVD but have hit them gym. So I am planning to start on fresh on 2-1-10 so that I feel motivated to keep it up all month - I am planning to do it in the morning since i see alot of you guys do it then and then are able to go on with your day.. However tonight I will be doing the video because…

OMG - Do we all have the same scale. My big issue is that on the Lap Band I can't take in as much as I want because well I get full faster - so I was told 3-5 lbs a month is good. However inches I am am losing everything from my pants- to my wedding rings are big so that is a plus. The bummer is that last night I hurt my…

Alrighty :bigsmile: I did my Shred last night and since it had been a few days I have achy muscles..but feel good. So I am on L1D5, tonight is the gym. I try to do the video on days I don't hit the gym but it's tough..I think I may try waking up early to do it- downstairs - quietly while the kids and hubbie are sleeping.…

Any luck or…

So I have decided to do the Avon Walk for Cancer it's a 2-day event and we walk 39 miles. Yesterday I went to the gym and walked 4.2 miles - I tried the eliptical and treadmill to give me some variety. But wow you can tell I lost weight if I tried this before I would have been dying. But I feel good - a lil sore..but baby…

Nothing fancy - just cut up the zucchini as thin as possible and bolied in water with a little olive oil and I salted them once I pulled them out. Just watch thgem because if you over boil they dissolve. Good luck :)

I am so with you on this. Mine is by my hips. The one on top I never really had , have you tried planks? Lean on the side? Just a thought? Might help. I will check on this post later and see if anyone else comes up with something. The trainer at the gym just told me CARDIO and that I can't decide where the fat is going to…

Hey folks - Hope all is well I had a crazy weekend like most of ya'll . I threw my older sis her baby shower with mom's help so it was fun and since I was running games and stuff I didn't get a chance to even try to go pig out. :happy: It was also nice because my mom bought me some new clothes for Christmas but gave it to…

I am still in and hitting the gym tonight. Would you believe my video would not play? I am going to today at lunch to replace and get a new one. Maybe I wasn't meant to try it last night.
