I will be 43 in about 4 hours. In decent shape but having a harder time getting rid of excess pooch around my middle. Feel free to add me!

I'm a huge proponent of a program that incorporates weight training - it's the best way to build lean muscle, which revs up your metabolism so you burn more even when you're not exercising. I'll send you a friend request and message you some info.

Have you tried looking here: http://www.slowcarbrevolution.com/forumdisplay.php/5-Slow-Carb-Diet-Recipes lots of stuff on there. :happy:

I have a 3 yo girl and a 5 yo boy - I work out at home and either do it early early in the morning, or I give the kids some really light dumbbells (2 lbs) or a resistance band and tell them they're welcome to join me as long as they don't get in the way! I'm always looking for other busy moms to relate to on fitness…

Champions are also pretty good, but once I found Moving Comfort there was no going back. :smile:

Echo the recommendation for Moving Comfort. I have the same problem. Here's what I wear -- when I found this bra it was like the holy grail.…

I have a similar problem. I lose my willpower at night. So I'm trying to "front load" my calories so that I'm eating more earlier in the day and am not as hungry at night. When I feel like snacking at night, I have herbal tea or maybe some low-fat popcorn. I'm also trying to drink a glass of water when I'm feeling hungry.…

TurboFire is a blast. My only criticism is that I tend to miss lifting weights when I have done it, so now I usually use it as part of a hybrid of weight training and cardio. But I definitely got good results from it! Have fun!

You should be taking a week off for every 6-8 weeks of strenuous exercise, and each week should have at least one rest day and one day of active rest, like stretching or yoga. But don't stop altogether -- it's so good for you in so many ways!!

Just starting is the hardest part -- you're going to do great! What kind of eating plan or exercise routine are you doing?
