Ice cream is my BIGGEST weakness and I have no idea how to back away from the ice cream! And I always want a blizzard and those are the WORST!

How long do your sessions last on average??

Thank you so much for posting this! I just started incorporating weights and those are the results I am hoping to get. Cardio alone was getting me nowhere now that I am almost down to my goal. Your results are EXACTLY what I want. Strong, healthy, lean, muscle!! And only 3 months! Great job!

I have a polar and it came with a m-xl strap but I had to buy a new one for xs-s.

Good question. I've been at it for MANY months now and seem to just hover around the same number!!! You need to lose it slowly though I think. Set your goal as 1/2lb weight loss/week. That's where I've got mine set at and workout 30-60min/day 6 days/week and it doesn't seem to be working. So maybe there's another…

If you could wait and save a little bit more $$ you could get a PolarFT4 on ebay for just a little more. I love mine!

Usually I tell myself that I can have cake on special occasions but it ALWAYS, for me, turns into more than that and then I have ruined the whole day and sometimes more than one day. So for me, from now on, I am going to try to say NO altogether and see how that works!!! I think it's different for everyone. Depends on how…

I can't wait for this to happen! Maybe someday I'll be able to stand with feet touching and see light!!!! Congrats!!

Same here.....all my weight is on the bottom! Upper body is now an XS-S but my lower body is still M-L! I would LOVE an answer on this one!:grumble:

congrats!!

For me, I lost quite a bit and no one noticed, or said they noticed. Then when I was staying at the same weight and maybe just building muscle? IDK.... I was working out still but staying at the same weight, People started to notice and ask- how much weight have you lost now?? So I think when you least expect it, people…

I'm not doing the program but I throw in the workouts every now and then. I LOVE IT!!!

I can't find any pumpkin puree. On;y pumpkin pie filling! :sad:

I am the mother of 3 boys ages 8, 2, and 10mos. I also work full time overnights. I just have to workout at home. There is no time to go to a gym or anything like that. If the kids nap at the same time, I do it then but that doesn't happen too often. Otherwise I do it at nigth when they go to bed. If I have to go into work…

Those calories you are burning are just your day to day calories that you burn just living and when you enter in your activity level on MFP, it takes that into account. Those aren't calories that you count as 'exercise' calories. So if you have on your goals that you are lightly active, for example, the website figures…

I did the prep schedule when I first got it but then I did INSANITY and am now doing P90X so when I want a fun cardio workout I just pop one in. I really like Fire 55EZ! I'd have to say my Least favorite is Fire 45 Class. Gets me huffing and puffing everytime! I don't have a breathing pattern but when I first started, I…

I don't think you need to be doing everything perfectly, just working to im prove from your starting point. Maybe by the end of the program you'll be able to do just ONE and that's better than where you started from. I think you should continue on! There are ways to modify and if you can't do what they're doing, do what…

Thanks everyone, lots to try out for sure!!!

Sometimes people will ask, "how much more weight are you plannig to lose?", or "you don't need to lose anymore!" The I tell them that I haven't actually lost weight in over 3 months and I've just been gaining muscle and continuing to work out. I think in the last 3-4 months I've lost around 2 lbs. but they don't believe it…

INSANITY Max Interval Plyo/Circuit Turbo Fire- Fire 55EZ Class These usually hit in the 450 range for me...I usually find that if I do hard cardio for about 45-60 min I will hit around 400+ calories burned!

Thanks you all! So many suggestions! I know I have to accept my skin for what it is as I have come to accept my *arrrgghh* curly hair! But it just makes things look so much nicer with at least a hint of color. So thanks again for all the suggestions!!!

Thanks, I'll try this again and try putting on lotion first!!

Self tanning gel, Self tanning cream, or something else?? I guess I haven't tried this one yet....

I tired it a while back but still found that I got orange streaks. My skin doesn't tan at all so I think that maybe since I don't have a base tan, it doesn't really cover any of that up. Do you have any tips to getting it applied more evenly??

I've been at this working out and eating healthy thing since the end of October and for me the cravings still come....frequently. It's just a matter of being able to fight against them. I'm not entirely convinced they will ever go away because for me some cookies or ice cream will always taste better than an apple or come…

I eat my "lunch" before I go into work (aroung dinner time) and then when I get my break I eat my "dinner" in the middle of the night. Then I usually eat breakfast around 0530-0600 and go to bed around 0800. I also bring a few healthy snacks with me to work overnight. Hope that helps!

Great job! It's really encouraging that your legs have slimmed down. I am only into my second week and my legs are my problem area. Let's hope I have the same great results as you. Keep up all the hard work!!:smile:

Yeah- I was reading about the green berry but even some chocolate reviews were poor. Glad tom know that it actually tastes like chocolate!

I am in the same boat. I have lost so much on top that my top is rather thin and my legs are still holding onto all the fat. I look like my top and bottom don't belong together. Not really sure what to do! I am 3 lbs away from goal weight but what I want more is for my legs to slim down. They don't seem to ever get any…
