Thank you so much -smiles- I appreciate your sharing that

I've been a lurker to this group for a while, its time I come out of the shadows. Just for Today... I will 1. check group thread often to keep my attitude positive 2. drink all my green drinks (GI issues cause me to have just shakes somedays) 3. NOT eat any of the candy at the Christmas parade 4. drink min 8 cups of water…

I'd love to join, please!

This is a major struggle for me. Thanks!! Looking forward to participating.

Yes! I'd like to join please

Me please! -raises her hand-

Please don't take this as my being snarky, but there are a gazillion "Gluten Free" recipes out there! hehe If you do a search for "gluten free recipes" you'll have more than you know what to do with. That also goes for books full of them. Narrowing it down to more of a specific nature will help. Searching for "gluten free…

I wanted to start the program. I've had the DVDs for about a year. I've used them at different times. I'd like to start the program, I printed out the calender today as a matter of fact :) Bumps this to see if there are more of us out there ;p

I could. I want to start 'collecting them'.. meaning, I have to start somewhere. I have some small weights I use now for strength portions of a work out (DVD etc). I have a regular resistance band and flat one as well. Two small 3lb dumbells. I've cinched together ankle and wrist weights to create two at 7 lbs. I've been…

I found some good links for beginners :) http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/12-week-beginners-training-routine.html http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/fawnia1.htm http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beginner_weight_training.htm

Interested to know what the OP chose ;-p Personally, I've not had a whopper with cheese in years (MMmmmm *insert Homer-esque* drool), but you never forget the taste and feel of the greasy mix of fat and sauces that run down your hand :D My 2 cents (damn the cents sign being gone!) on a serious note..... just say no!…

Thank you for this.

Yes the gym has all of the free weights, bar and dumbbells. The time constraints vary. I would say I'm IN the gym 3-4 nights a week. At those times it's to be in a group class. I will often hit the elliptical for 30 minutes after a class. At any given time I'm only allowed to have my kids in the gym's playroom for a two…

Bump - wow so much to read. :D

I'd be more than happy to give you the group schedule so you can attend one of these fake Tabata classes. You'll see how when people can't move by the end of one Tabata, they still find some strength deep down inside of them to make them GET UP and keep trying as the next Tabata starts. Perhaps then you will refrain from…

The 45 minute HIIT class I mentioned has a total of 8 Tabatas. Eight of the 4 minute cycles. There are some warm up and cool down minutes as well. Between cycles there is a rest period. The Tabatas are designed so that different areas are worked. Say our first Tabata is cardio. Then the next would be just abs. Then…

Well, you've started to help yourself by being here and knowing you need help. We all do, that's why we are here ;) Now, what are you doing to change your life? Not just lose weight, but change your life. And,... thank you for sharing :)

I started on 4/28/13 - Monday. Feel free to add me! ALso, there is a 30DS group here that is going to start May 1st :) (sorry if I'm repeating)

Fantastic suggestions on here. I hope I don't repeat them ;) I would agree with some about the sitting down exercises. You can always start with moderate weights for your arms, back and chest. All those sitting. Youtube has a LOT of good things. Believe it or not, I would bet you could do some HIIT things. High intensity…

Thanks for creating this post Evotchka :) I was getting confused as well.. so much info out there!

Hmmms... I notice the occasional look and I have wondered "Is there a bat sneaking out of the bat cave?" (for those with no kids.. that translates to... Do i have a booger hanging out?) Then I check and smile because there wasn't one and my confidence was just boosted a little ~smiles~

Thanks for the info! I about spit my water when I saw you giggity.. AND.. you had the MFP calling me a pecker? ~grins~

Hi! It looks to me like there are a HELL of a lot more people who get where you're coming from :) Always remember. "people dont do things TO you, they do them FOR themselves" :smile: Add me if you like. You can never have too much support, hugs, or pats on the back. We all need them. You WILL do this. One pound at a time.…

Hi Library girl Feel free to add me! I need to get some friends here as well. Keep it up! I too was a W.W. the MFP floater. I've given up on WW though. This app and way of life seems much easier to me. Add me! Thanks :D
