ooh i appreciate this post. :D love it

Like.

definitely makes me want to keep going! well done!

I can't even do knee pushups too well, in part due to wrist pain & because I can't handle my body weight, although doing turbo I move around much more easily.

Well I haven't done yoga but since I started eating better & working out, my tummy feels wonderful! before I would wake up around 4 am with bad tummy pains!

ugh! I retain water BAD! but as i began to workout & lose weight, the swelling is very rare & yes sodium makes it 10x worse and the time of the month!

Our bodies are so odd! when I first began this road! first week BAM 7 lbs, 2nd week 12! then 3! i was shocked but loved it! However, I didn't see much of a change except in my face a bit! that's 20 lbs, you would think i'd see a drastic change right? then I began strength training and that week when I weighed in, only went…

I do TurboFire & I love it, she's motivating, musics fun but it's not so Zumba, when it comes to dancing i suck lol it gives you a schedule, which is exactyly what i needed/wanted! Even a nutrition guide, to help you get started on what to eat or not! it has aerobics, abs, toning & it has HIIT workouts, which I LOVE! ...…

Thanks :) I will try that. I have arthritis and they say that drinking green tea can help the inflamation which would be great, i hate taking so many pills

is it better to drink hot or cold? does it make a difference? i am so new to teas lol

I bought that one and I just dont enjoy it but i want to drink it, for all of its benefits! what can i add without taking away from the health benefits

I do move the scale to weigh myself, I think once i move, I need to find a spot for it where I don't need to move it.

Thank You! & wow you DO SOUND BUSY! lol but I think you are right! I will have to work out a whole schedule for my life lol including taking the time to make food ahead of time for the week!

I am doing turbofire and i love it but then again never tried a Jillian video.

My question isn't about the insanity workout BUT you mentioned feeling pain until you changed your shoes! Well i've started having knee pain and i purchased some running shoes, I wonder if that's what's causing it, it's so odd, some days its EXTREMELY painful, others im okay, sometimes the pain alternates from knees or…

yeah, ive added strength training BUT bad knees :( IDK if my weight caused the sudden pain, bad form when doing squats or my body in shock lol

So you think alternating the HIIT workouts would be as effective? i was following the schedule but about a week ago it was thrown off due to school and group meetings etc etc lol and when i was suppose to do a regular 45, I didn't have time so i did the 25 HIIT!

I was wondering would the program be as effective if you only did the HIIT workouts? I enjoy the regular ones and the HIIT videos BUT im SO BUSY! the shorter the better, so i was wondering if it would work if i alternated the hitt workouts.

[/quote] Sure. Have the donut if there's room for it and you're hitting your other macros (protein/carb/fat). I have a nice 250 calorie beer now and then. Sometimes a few a week. Still losing. [/quote] well it's nice to know that every once in a while if i give in, it won't completely throw me off! been about a month since…

okay, i am curious because im not that great with nutrition as well so say i eat a donut, i can get away with it, as long as i stay under my calorie intake? although, im sure it's best if i avoid the donut lol

im no expert and not good with numbers and percentages! I just track calories and work out! What i noticed with myself was i was dropping weight really fast with just cardio, in one week at one point 12 lbs yet I didnt feel much of a difference! about a week and a half ago i began lifting weights, i wld just go with the…

I'm not an expert but I asked my friend the same question because i was incredibly sore, I pushed myself so hard i couldnt even move around in bed! He said best way to help ease the soreness was to drink protein shakes, it feeds the muscle! & yes epsom bath salts!

This is just amazing! congratulations! definitely motivates me to keep going!

Completely agree! since ive cut out junk food, i feel better! i sleep better, just over all better! & im all for being healthy. :D

Does the ground turkey taste good? ive had the bacon, burger patties and turkey links and are delicious but idk about the ground turkey!

Oh sweetie don't get depressed, our weights will fluctuate. Yeah, Sodium & i are not friends. my feet use to swell really bad and i was thinking WHY WHY WHY? well i was on the "diet soda" is better than regular soda, boy was i wrong! so i just gave it all up, i drink only water. yeah everywhere i go i ask for the nutrition…

yeah ive read articles where it's said that it's 20% exercise and 80% diet. When i started i was eating healthy but wasn't ready (scared) to start working out and i was slowly losing weight but once i began working out, the lbs were just melting off.

Oh i know, i always ask for the nutritional guides and jeez, even what's 'healthy" is full of sodium and sugars, it's really scary to think that at one point, i wld go for items on the menu that were like 700 calories and just that item, not including fries, sodas!

oh that's awesome! Thanks. it helps since sometimes i'm really busy and have no time to prepare meals and something quick rarely offers much variety on healthier options besides salads! although, i prefer home cooked meals so much better tasting lol :D

I was going to a weight loss center but it was very expensive, they said i should cut out all bread but if i really wanted to eat bread, just ONE slice of whole wheat. It's so confusing at times, some people say you shouldn't eat it, others say you should. Example; this place told me to cut out ALL cereals, dairy products,…
