That is my first goal too! 7 more lbs to go!!!

Great job on the pushups! I also do the mod version and they hurt me too. I follow the modified on most of the exercises so you're not alone. We are doing it and that is what counts!

I would totally buy it if it's in good condition!

I'm about to get my day 3 shred on! shouldn't be as rough today since I didn't go to the gym this morning. Don't know about anyone else but I keep picturing the inches falling off.

A real life friend referred me and I have done the same with other friends. I kinda like having people I know to both support me on here and in person. I've also added friends who live near me. You never know when you'll need the extra support.

LMAO! Not laughing at you but with you! With all that jumping around mine will hit the floor too if I don't tie them as tight as possible. It's a good problem to have I guess but oh so annoying!

I did use my HRM. It's set for my weight and age, which is 208.4 and 28yrs. I checked my HR after every circuit and burned 343 cals. Hope this helps!

I have both the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout. Both are great dvd's

Just curious, is anyone else using a HRM while doing this workout? I would like to compare my cal burn if so.

Thanks for the motivation girl! I've been to the gym this morning and my cal burn is a little over 700 already. Looking forward to starting Day 1 after dinner! I've got 5lb weights and those squat presses KILL! I've also had no weight loss in the last 2 weeks and hope this helps get me out of my rut. Good luck ladies!!!

I am in if you still have room!

I have the Biggest Loser Challenge and Wii Fit Plus. I use my heart rate monitor when I play to get an accurate cal burn.

Ditto!

I was having trouble matching up low sodium ham to what is in the database so the last time I bought some I just asked the deli lady to show me the nutritional info. It turned out that she is a calorie counter too so she had no problem helping me out.

Thanks for this post! I've had Hypo since the age of 12, now 28. I've seen some movement on the scales but am also wondering if a med change would make a difference. I go back to the doc in June so I'll ask then. Thanks again!

I've had Hypothyroidism since I was 12. My heaviest was 245 (after the birth of my daughter in '05). I just recently started getting serious about my weight loss and have lost 15lbs since Jan (down to 211!!!). It is possible, just takes a little longer and a lot of hard work. I got a HRM and don't evercise without it. I…

I've had Hypothyroidism since age 12. I take Synthroid for mine. Weightloss has been slower for me but I feel tons better now that I'm eating right along with exercising. Add me if you would like!

I was at the gym the other day and saw this guy on the treadmill totally getting into his music. I mean all out air guitar and fist pumps. I never got the chance to ask him what he was listening to. Here is my playlist: Linkin Park- serveral songs Paper Tongues- Ride to California and Get Higher (New Fave band) Break…

Thanks for posting this. My friend is loaning me her P90X today. I can't wait to start. I'm steadily losing lbs but I WANT to see the inches come off as well!

I've been having the same problem. Only mine bounces between 2-8lbs lower than my home scale. As much as I would like to believe the gym scale, I'm sticking with the one at home. I weigh myself on it every morning and I'm the only one using it. Versus 3 dozen other women.

Hi Cindy! Would love to add you as a friend and also on my mom's profile. She is also 43, 4 kids from the ages 28 (me) down to 7. She had a heart attack in Aug 2010 and has made huge strides in her improved health. We are on this weight loss journey together. My moms name is aminton1966 look her up.

I've done the Last Chance Workout DVD and burned about 500 cals in 30 mins. My HRM is set up with my personal specs so the cals I burned might not be what someone else would burn. If you're in the market for a HRM, I have a Sportline watch purchased from Wal-Mart for under $30. I love it and will not workout without it.

Thanks! I'll have to try it out. My workouts usually include a mile on the track (mostly walking but I throw in a couple laps of running) then the Elliptical and weights. I'm burning anywhere from 700-1200 cals a workout.

Your skin changes with age, different hormones and even sweating can effect your skin. Try to change up your skin care products. When I was pregnant with my son I had to stop using my beloved MK skin care and switch to something aimed for breakouts. I am back using MK but have had to switch formulas.

I don't workout without mine! I agree with the previous response, you get a more accurate calorie burn, can see your progress and feel bad *kitten* afterwards! Mine is a Sportsline watch purchased at Wal-Mart for under $30.

Saw this post last week but thought it was too late to join. I'm in if there is room for me!
