I had a lot of errands to run today and wasn't able to do my morning workout. When I got home, the kids didn't nap. I was so tired and feeling lazy. But finally pushed myself to get that workout done at 11:30pm! So it still counts as Friday's workout haha ;)

Well I can't find my previous goals, but I did accomplish them! New goals: 1. Up my exercise game. 2. Lose my last. Five. Pounds. For a total of 30 pounds lost. Hopefully I'll get there by the end of April! (At a half pound a week.) April will actually be my one year anniversary of seriously losing weight, so it kind of…

I use an app called "monitor your weight," which does track everything you've mentioned. But I have Android, so I'm not sure if it's available for iOS.

I do. Bragg's is the most popular (and easily found in the grocery store!) I shampoo my scalp (I don't shampoo my ends because it just dries them out), then I pour ACV diluted with water in my hair and massage throrougly. I use 2 parts water to 1 part ACV, but you can dilute it further. I let it sit for a few minutes and…

I have considerably more hair (past my butt!) and use ACV once or twice a month. Love it to death! Makes my hair so soft and shiny! Also good if the ends of your hair are "crunchy" (especially when you have long hair, the ends don't get much natural oil from your scalp) But the whole ACV for weight loss is laughable. I…

I use ACV diluted with water in my hair about once a month. Gets rid of buildup and makes my hair nice and soft. Love it. It also is fantastic on warts lol

I love me some chia seeds. 5g of fiber per tablespoon, I think. I add a bunch to my yogurt. You can also add it to smoothies/drinks/oatmeal/salad... Basically anything! They don't have too much of a taste so you can sneak it in anywhere. And they are super filling!

Aha, okay that makes sense. I did adjust the frame size as I do have a small frame. Thanks for explaining this!

Just did this and it said an ideal weight for me would be 91-120something. I'm 5'2". If I go by BMI, my "healthy" weight range is 101-134. Just wondering where this "ideal" weight range comes from.

- Make it through the holidays - Lose 4 pounds by the end of January (4 because it brings me to a nice round number.) - Hop back on the exercise train After those 4 pounds are gone, I will be officially be 5 pounds away from my ultimate goal weight!

Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations on the great results!

I went to a family get together today and both my sisters and my dad noticed that I've lost weight. This is the first time anyone has noticed! I'm about 13-14 pounds down.

Oh, and I'm also planning on Body Shred after this. I'm so excited because I hear a lot of great things about it! I would also like to incorporate Jillian's 6 week 6 pack somehow, I guess we'll see how it goes. On Facebook I'm part of a group called "Jillian Michaels Workout Junkies." This group is awesome. Lots of…

Good news , I finally hit prepregnancy weight!! Bad news - on Saturday after that cardio 3, I missed a step coming down the stairs and twisted my ankle (the same ankle I hurt last time too!). I heard it pop and it hurt pretty bad. So as much as I hate it, I took yesterday and today off. It's feeling much better today,…

I hit this goal today! My next mini goal is to lose 3 more pounds - then I'll be the lightest I remember being. I hope to be down those 3 pounds in about 4-6 weeks.

This week I did WO 9, WO 10, then instead of cardio on Wednesday I did WO 9 Wednesday and WO 10 Thursday. On Friday I did a different video. So today is my first day of Cardio 3. Yeah. Wow lol, so much sweat. I made it through it, but took a few breaks. Hopefully by my last week I'll be kicking cardio 3's butt, but today…

Phase 2 results! I have officially lost: 5.2 pounds 1" from my bust 1.5" from my waist 1.5" off my "mommy tummy" 1" off my hips 1.25" off each thigh So all together I've lost: 11.2 pounds (!!! More than I ever expected!) 3" from my bust (But my cup size is the same, so I'm guessing the majority of those inches was back…

Wow, Day 1 of Week 9! Workout 9. It went by really fast. There were a few moves I must have really looked like an idiot trying to do, but hey, I've got two weeks to get better lol. My phase 2 results are in, I'm going to post them in the results thread!

Phase 2 complete! Phase 3 starts tomorrow! I'm going to post my phase 2 results tomorrow after I weigh/measure (I always do it on Mondays). I had a bad weekend calorie-wise - didn't go super overboard but I'm not too happy about it lol. Getting back to it tomorrow! So excited to be heading into the final month!

@MarissaBlevins220 - I think around 4 months babies have a growth spurt, so that could be it too. My boys were always huge crank-pots during growth spurts. My 1 year old is teething now and is an angry mess :( In other news, just finished cardio 2! So glad I got it over with. The other week I couldn't make it through all…

Week 8, day 2! It's my TOM so I felt pretty crappy and bloated but I was still able to knock it out.

Welcome! I log it as general circuit training. So glad to have a lot of moms in this group!

Week 8, day 1!

Week 7, workout 8. So cardio 2 for tomorrow and then onto week 8!

Hahaha, you guys are definitely right when it comes to husbands lol. A girl can dream though! I don't think I'd be mad if he didn't say anything - but it'd be nice if he did! The NSVs are definitely what keeps me going too. And having (realistic) mini-goals and "big" goals. Not just scale goals, but goals like, "finish…

Took my rest day yesterday as I was sick. This morning I felt a little bit better and was able to complete (though very imperfectly, lol) week 7, day 4, workout 7. Can't believe that week 8 starts next week! 8 weeks is a goal of mine because of the whole "you notice a difference in 4 weeks, friends and family at 8 weeks,…

Week 7. Day 3, cardio 2. Blah I hate cardio but I actually like this one more than cardio 1. Maybe it's because I have more endurance lol.

Week 7, workout 8. Blah the sweat. Thank goodness I workout in the room with the AC. My boys (1 and 2.5) kept crawling all over me and my 1 year old kept biting me (he's teething, ouch!) But I managed to make it through! @rumswood - this time around my pregnancy weight just stuck. A few months ago I was 20 pounds away and…

First day of week 7 here! Dang, just when I thought I couldn't sweat more lol. Hard to believe that in two weeks, I'll be starting phase 3! Today I also weighed/measured! I am still losing inches (though not as fast as I'd like. The mommy tummy is my mortal enemy) and I have officially lost just about 10 lbs altogether!…

I haven't been checking in, but I'm still here! Week 6, day 4. I was SUPPOSED to do workout 5 but I'm so sick of it that I just went up to workout 7. Feeling good! Almost halfway through phase 2! @MelissaBlevins220 - my hips pop and crack like crazy too. Not sure if it's a postpartum thing (12 months pp here) because my…
