  • ive got a belly button ring. My reward will be to look good in it and not have a pot belly!! :)
  • My starting weight is 138. Cant wait to be challenged and get back in shape!!! :)
  • If you are a beginner, start with the P90 first. It's an easier version and much more "woman" friendly. PX90 is a beast!!! :) Good luck....
  • Slim in 6 is the BEST! I have never been thinner and felt better and if you combine that program with MFP...you'll be rockin in no time! :) Good luck!

  • Ok, well here's my opinion, which take with a grain of salt because I am NOT an expert, or fitness specialist. :smile: I think you need to change up your workouts more drastically. If you do the eliptical or tread mill every day....your body adjusts to that and kind of expects it. I think you'll see more results if you A.…
  • The hour of weights would be logged in as "strength training" right? That's what I do.
  • I'm outside of Houston and just rejoined too...
  • My story too! I went on vacation for the month of June and first of July and totally mesed up my eating and stopped excercising. Today was my fist day back...I ran/walked 2 miles and feel so much better already. Even though the clothes i had bought when I lost weight are again snug. I'm determined to go back to school in…
  • This seems to be happening to me more and more lately!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!:happy: It's just so nice to know that you can go to bed and wake up with a fresh slate...

  • You did WAY better than me..I blew my entire WEEK!!! Not only was it Mother's day, it was my birthday AND teacher appreciation week!!! OMG....I went freakin crazy!!!!:noway: So, don't feel bad...it's a new day...for me a new week!!! Although I still have 40 chocolate bars on my desk from my kiddos that I need to get rid…
  • I just returned from Jamaica and I lost a pound while I was there! I ate three good meals (fresh fish, salads and fresh fruit), no snacking and then drank like a fish! Just have fun!
  • Where do you get it?
  • Well, I guess my compliment was both good and bad. My principal (I'm a Kindergarten teacher) came to me and said "wow, I found a picture of you from the beginning of the year! It's amazing how much weight you've lost...especially in your face!" I was happy till I really thought about it. Is she saying my face was fat? Or…
  • What are burpees?
  • Scrapbooking...:-( I miss it. I go on a weekend retreat every March and do as much as I can until the next year!!!:smile:
  • I love Asian salad with mandarin oranges, chow mein, edamame and a ginger dressing.
  • Think they'd like it if we all laid down and did a few crunches? :laugh: I've lost 10 lbs so far and two pants sizes, but I am having THE hardest time losing my middle!!! Darn third child! :wink: Pam
  • Ok, here I go! I measure 31in around the middle...my kindergarteners thought I was nuts as I measured!!:huh: Thanks for the challenge!!
  • Yah, I understand. I came home today and my husband had bought four ginormous boxes of whoppers and hot tamales. Ok, well after being so good and not eating a lot of sweets, I nearly had a stroke bc I LOVE whoppers! Mean, mean man. :devil: So, I'm 200some over my calories ( a serving size of whoppers and some tamales too!)…
  • I read somewhere, maybe on this site, of someone who bought a stability ball and took it to work. While they sat on it, they did crunches and were able to get a little strenth training on it while they worked. This might work while you're in school on line! You would be in school and working out at the same time! :happy:…
  • LOL! :laugh: Thanks for the advice! I think there is a gym, but I hadn't really thought of swimming. Good idea! Now I just hope I'm not on the news with a shark hanging off my leg! I'll let you know how I fare when I get back...thanks again for all the great advice. I love this site!!!:flowerforyou:

  • Hi everyone! My husband and I are going to jamaica on Friday and I DO NOT want to slip back into old habits of eating junk like crazy...especially at an all inclusive resort. Has anyone here been to Jamaica and have suggestions for me?

  • I went through the same thing...and you'll probably think I'm crazy...but I stopped weighing myself!! It was getting frustrating not seeing enought results, so I decided to only weigh myself once a week, and a couple times I let two weeks go by. I trusted by the way my clothes were getting loser, that I was at least losing…
  • Helawat - I just want to encourage you to keep on what you're doing!!! You are a gift to those students and you have to believe that even though you may not reach them all...you ARE reaching some...and they will always be indebted to you for it!:heart: I teach Kindergarten and it is such fun to have excited and happy to…
  • WOW...That is AWESOME!!:happy: Keep it up!
  • AND...buy your hot new sexy outfit in black, cuz that's slimming anyway! You'll be turning heads!!!:noway:
  • Just a thought...but my trainer says to chunk the scale and go to strictly measuring yourself. Measure your waist, butt, arms, etc and watch the inches go instead of the pounds. Then weigh yourself maybe once every other week. It's worked for me...I get excited to see an inch go and if I step on the scale two weeks later…
