I would love to get the EA Active 2 for the Wii; already have 1 and more workouts..just waiting for it to come down in price. thanks for the advice.. Wii Fit Plus was a nice intro to the Wii and the fitness aspects the system can provide, and it did help with learning yoga and pilates movements. It's like you said; a bunch…

My list is too long to list. I have practically given up anything that contains sugar and carbs. Sounds extreme, right? It is, but haven't been missing anything.. on the list I have given up goes something like this: Cookies Chocolate Any grains, breads, pastas, etc fruits (for now; definitely not permanent) I will NOT…

I'll "friend request" you and you can start to look at my diary if you're looking for food options. If you just need some motivation, you've come to the right site! I also have a small child-a five year old lil girl, and I understand how demanding they are. I fortunately have a very small gym at my work that no one uses…

Where are you doing the one in WI?

Hello All!! Lush here reporting after a night of puking..Tally so far this week: Monday: 2 Canadian Clubs and Diet cokes Tuesday: 2 CCs and Diets Wednesday: 2 CC and Diets, 2 whiskey and diets at Bingo=Barfing!! Cannot drink cheap booze..That damn rail ****..On the upside, it made me barf everything I ate for the day.…

My favorite in which I watched my arms transform into fat blobs of skin into toned flesh of muscle was Golds Gym Cardio Workout. All boxing pratically but kept me motivated because I would want to earn "gold" so I could shop for clothes on there! Also, I like the EA Active Sports, but it did get a little boring because…

I'm a Midwesterner myself, so let's go with calling it "pop". I too, craved, craved, craved me some diet coke, diet mt. dew, whatever diet..It was like my coffee in the morning! I effin needed the stuff. But what I started to notice when i would eat meals with it, i would start to feel completely bloated and gross; like…

I honestly thought that 1200 was absolutely unachieveble. But I have proved myself wrong, and you can do the same. I'll admit..some days I do go over but it's usually attributed to those days I indulge in some cocktails, not food related. Drinking water and 6 days of exercise have been the key. Also, chosing the right…

Though I'm not a man, the last few relationships I have been in have been with men that loved curves on a gal. None of them liked skinny thin women. All of them like "thick girls" or a little "junk in the trunk". My current beau is the same way and he says he is actually scared of me losing my "thickness" as he really…

this sounds remotely like what I'm doing: Mine is called the Maximized Living Makeover, and I'm doing what's called the Max Elite Diet. It's designed for us that are having a hard time losing weight and a lot of that is attributed to the toxins we put in our body. So, the basis of it is this: 1) No sugar..including fruits…

You will definitely see how your tastebuds will adapt. Right now, I'm doing a low carb, low sugar regimen, and I really thought I would crave sweets and breads even though I only eat whole wheat products. But I'm surprised how much I don't miss the grains and sweets. I do miss fruit though..But what a change. Cookies,…

Chicken fajitas are definitely good if you could stay with just them and without the tortilla. Plus, a lot of vegetables...

I take Fish Oil and Bee pollen twice a day. The fish oil used to make me a little nauseuated but then I found one that doesn't..It's made from Nature Made. It doesn't have that nasty fish odor. And the bee pollen I have no probs wtih.

MyLanta Yes!! Get some friends. Even though, you won't probably ever meet any one on here, you do start to get to "know" some people, and will find that some really lead similar lives, and have a lot in common as far as weight goals and so much other stuff. It has been my biggest source of support and main reason I haven't…

How old is your kid??? Girl..I definitely know what you're going through...My daughter is only 5, but ever since she was born, I have to share her with her bio-dad. He was totally bad for me, so I left him 3 months after she was born. He's not by any means a model dad, but it was very hard to prove that in court. Any way,…

Ask yourself this: is this the first time you're having cake? Probably not. Is this going to be the last time? Probably not. And if you do have the cake, how are you going to feel after wards? Probably kinda guilty. So, is it really worth it? If you truly wanna change your lifestyle, it comes with sacrifices. And missing…

You are inspiring. You keep up your great attitude towards how you look at your goal. Stop calling yourself a big fat blob. I don't see that at all. I see someone who is determined to do something about themselves, and did not do it the easy way. Keep up the fight; you are definitely winning!

For me, it probably took a solid week to really convince myself to NOT do it. It starts with your mindset, and I knew after a week, that I had to do it. I felt my energy level go up and just all around knew the guilt would overwhelm me if I didn't do it. So now after 6 weeks, it's an everyday habit. I think the key is to…

I agree..140. I haven't been there since I was 19 and although I wasn't bony, I thought I looked pretty good. So, that's what I'm shooting for and would still like to have some curves..

I believe a pre natal pill. It contains a lot of iron/folic acid, and is very cheap and you don't have to be preggers to get it!! I know when I was pregnant, the doc put me on it because they always do anyway, but it make my nails grow like crazy!!

P.S. I did get rid of the boyfriend. He was always such a ****er to my Ebony, and he had to go!! We weren't married, and the break up was excruciating since he cheated on me relentlessly, took all my money, and put me through hell with my daughter. But I've got a freakin' awesomer than awesome boyfriend now, nice house,…

I feel your pain, dude. I stupidly got into a relationship once, breeded with him which produced a beautiful daughter and made us have to move into a larger apartment. The down side: the house didn't accept dogs. And of course, I had one..a beautiful black lab retriever properly named Ebony. Boy, was I sad. but I wouldn't…

I having grilled chicken quesadillas with steamed broccoli. The tortillas are only 50 cals a piece, 7g carbs, and whole wheat. Not to mention the cheese is only 40 calories a slice..Looking forward to it!

You guys are funny! this is one of the main reasons I do not like to go to the YMCA or any of those other "popular" in town gyms, but rather work out at home or my community center where there is never more than 5 people in there at once. Anyway, when I did use to go, one lady was walking around the locker room butt naked…

So much for the attempts to limit my drinking...Last week, I only drank 2 or 3 nights, but this week, I have drank Monday, Tuesday, and last night. But not tonight..Damn shared placement with my kid's dad! If I didn't share my daughter and had her every night, I wouldn't end up happy hour so much!! Last night, we ended up…

I have found one...It's made by La Tortilla. They're whole wheat, 7g carbs, and only 50 calories. I like the garlic and herb ones.

Everyone makes very good points regarding McDonald's and fast food. I personally do not eat McDonalds or any fast food whatsoever because as someone else pointed out, once you eat whole foods, fast food tastes disgusting. And I do not want to waste my calories nor money on that crap. Plus, have you ever watched the video…

I actually have the Shred. I'm just at the point where I'm bored with it. I've had it for over a year, and agree that she does offer some good exercises.

It's called Polydipsia aka water intoxication. If done intentionally, it's defined as a mental illness! However, I don't think you are doing that. But I have clients who do this and they drink several gallons of water as quick as they can to literally feel drunk. Nonetheless, I think if you stick to 64oz a day, give or…

Me too! I'm in. I'm going to Vegas in April so I need any extra motivation I can get! Please post how to sign up!
