Yep, me too. I don't like not having control of how my food is made.

You look beautiful! Such an inspiration!!!

I will log both days but expect to go over on Christmas day which is just fine with me. Boxing Day will be business as usual on the diet/exercise front.

I have to disagree about Wii not burning many calories. I do Will Zumba with my heart rate monitor on and burn 460 calories in 50 minutes. It depends on what you're doing and how much you move. If you do want to move, then Just Dance is a lot of fun that you would enjoy with your wife.

Yes, you absolutely did the right thing and if I were you, I wouldn't go back to that yoga studio and cut off all contact with this married woman. I'm not a yogi expert, but I have read that it is very taboo for yoga instructors to get involved with their students. Now stop losing sleep over it and move on. You seem like a…

Are your neighbors nice enough that you can ask them if it's ok that you workout at a certain time or certain days?

It helps when I watch music videos and blast it through my earphones on my iPhone or iPad with VEVO. You can make your own playlists on there too.

I have worked from home for about 10 years and I don't find it hard to stay on track for the most part. I am lucky that I can workout at lunch which is a big help. Otherwise, I try to adhere to a "schedule" everyday or I can get lazy or too tired. I eat breakfast and lunch at around the same time everyday. I usually plan…

Take a look at amazon.com's Rodney Yee Yoga Journal Family DVD. His DVDs are excellent for all levels. It would be difficult to hold a seven year old's attention with yoga so I suggest getting a DVD geared towards children. Good luck!

I've worn my heartrate monitor while doing power yoga, and for me it's about 150 calories for a full 30 minute session. A 50 minute intense power yoga session burned 300 calories. Neither sessions included cooldown time. I'm about 170 lbs. Hope that helps give you a better idea. Everyone is different and every class is…

Love my Polar with the chest strap. I've had it so long that I've had to change the batteries twice and it still works like new.

I just read that article two days ago and was admiring how fit the girl looked in the picture ( and it's you!) Congratulations on your success and inspiring all of the Women's Health readers!

Hello, 48yo from Ottawa! Anyone Feel free to add me.

Hey would love a friend in my age group too! Please add me if you'd like :)

Congratulations!! I took up couch25k on my treadmill when I quit smoking and it was the running that kept me sober. I'm proud to say that I am thinner and stronger. I ran my first 5k marathon two years ago and have not touched a cigarette in two years and nine months! Best thing you are doing trading in a bad habit for the…

Successfully did the camel pose in yoga for the first time today. I could only hold the pose for two seconds but I did it!!!
