I love Jillian workouts too! I did Hard Body this morning. Did Body Revolution last year and lost 30 lbs! Have about 10 more to go. I'm not sure how many calories are burned. I'm sure we would need a fit bit to really know?

I've been told that weight loss is 80% of what you eat and 20% exercise. Focus on the food on the bad days and start walking on the good days. Sorry to hear about your wife. Best of luck!

My tattoo guy says no working out for 4 days - and the day of the tattoo does not count as one. It sucks but you don't want it infected. After the four days, I just make sure I clean off the aquafor and clean real good and then reapply the aquafor. Now I see everyone else is saying workout and don't rub it. My tattoos took…

I was stationed in Naples, Italy. Our base was on lock down for 3 days. Once there is an attack, bases go on a high level of security as multiple attacks are likely. Sad, sad day! We will never forget!

The only explanation I can think of for my left being dominate (and me being right handed) is 20 years of military service with my left arm carrying everything and my right arm ready to salute. My non-military friends favor their right arms to carry things - if their right handed.

Hi. I'm 46 (retired Navy) - 3 kids (24 (Navy), 18 (Marines), and 14). I've been exercising and eating right since New Year's and lost more than my goal. So I'm pretty much maintaining but still log in religiously as I don't want to fall back on bad habits. I ran my first 5K last week and finished 11 out of 67. Not too…

I've lost 39 lbs and mostly women at work make comments but a few men do also. I can usually shut them up by saying, "You're just used to seeing me fat." But if they go on, I say things like: 1. Have you seen how much food I bring to work? It takes me 30 minutes every night to cut up my fruits and veggies. 2. According to…

I'm going to try this. I've been making zucchini pizza by cutting in half, gutting and slicing the bottom of so it doesn't roll. Add pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. I love it!

I can do one! Almost two. I "attempt" 8 pull ups every morning. My son has a pull up bar on one of the doorways. So, it's slow progress but it's working.

Good will power! Another thing that I think about: I am not going to eat a bunch of useless calories at the beginning of the day. I do have a cheat meal once or twice a week - and I enjoy it!

I agree! Wrinkles are filled in when you're fat. I've dropped 37 lbs and boom! Wrinkles!!!! - but I do have a younger looking body. I guess you can't have it all!

Mine does...It's in the Peanut Butter aisle

I do an hour of cardio a day (I love it!) and have lost 37 lbs! Shed the fat and now I see muscle. Starting a weight lifting program in August!!!!

I drink one herbal life shake a day for the nutrition factor. For the people who think they taste terrible - you must not have the shake flavor list. This morning I had White Chocolate Snickers and yesterday I had Lemon Cupcake. Yum Yum.

I am slow too! It's not my breathing that makes me slow. It's my stride. I figure since I can breath the entire 30 minutes, I just need to work on stepping out. It will come with practice. So, my plan is just to gradually step it out. I am going to choose a landmark - like a driveway or tree and step it out till I reach…

PB2 at HyVee too!

Walmart as PB2 also!

I wanna try them!

If he is a liar and a cheat, let him go.

I made these with fresh blueberries. Awesome! I have not had pancakes since my New Year's Resolution! I will be making these again!

I used to get sick in the morning from low blood sugar. I started making sure I have protein for breakfast - eggs and canadian bacon, etc. I don't get shakey, sweaty, and feel like I will vomit anymore. Really sucks when you're at work and have to dash out when you get that feeling! Morning time was the worst time for me.…

I've been doing Jillian DVD's since New Year's. I have her sayings memorized! "Your abs should be on FIRE!" "Your heart should be gargling in your throat."

My birthday was Friday and I worked out hard all week so I could have a cheat meal AND cake and ice cream. It was awesome! Now I'm going to work out hard all week. I really think a cheat meal is fine as long as it is one time a week and it is PLANNED. It's pure heaven and something I look forward to every week!

I drink one shake for breakfast (about 300 calories) and have two healthy meals and snacks. I stay away from processed foods. I know that if I quit my morning shake, I won't gain weight back. I know how to eat healthy. You have to work out and eat right. Eating McDonalds and donuts - you're gaining your weight back. Short…

DVD's! I do Jillian Michaels videos every morning before I allow myself coffee - and I LOVE coffee!!!!!

I just wrote a topic for the same reason but my "baby" is 14! I've lost 34 lbs - and a lot of my flab on my stomach is gone but turning sideways - it's still gross! There's got to be a way to lose the fat and tighten that area. Surgery will not be an option. I'm looking for a good ab workout and of course - good ole…

Work out in the AM when you get up! It is a great start to the day and you are burning calories all day PLUS you feel great!
