I get them a lot and now take the cranberry every morning and carry the pain pills with me everywhere I go... and of course DRINK LOTS OF…

:flowerforyou: I am right there with you... my hubby likes me about 10 lbs heavier than I like to be... I have kinda gone in the middle... I like to be 120 he likes me at 130 - so I try to stay right about 125... seems silly... but it works for us... Good luck finding your happy middle ground.

I have done the slim in 6 - is that what you are talking about? there are 3 levels so you move on as you feel comfortable - each level progressively longer and harder.... it is a fantastic program if you follow it... i had great results... good luck

I am not really sure - but I remember when I was nursing - I was told to consume at least 500 extra calories - that was when I was nursing around the clock. I would think that as the amount of times you nurse goes down - so should your caloric intake. . . Again, It has been years since I have nursed - but that is what I…

Don't be afraid!! It is intense - yup - won't lie!! But she designed it so that you should be able to move on to the next level every 10 days. Just because you move on doesn't mean that you will be able to keep up on day one of level 2. My goal was to be able to do level 2 completely and keep up by day 10. Give yourself a…

When starting out - don't do it every day - maybe every other day? My knees and calves just killed me when I started out and I did it every day. There is a lot of jumping so be very careful of your knees. I was also very excited so I really threw myself into the workouts. Try to pace yourself - you don't want to hurt…

it is getting to be the summer season and i think that we are all gonna be facing this question. I would think turkey dogs would be better for you - skip the bun - use mustard. as for sides - maybe one of those tomatoe salads with just some tomatoes, onions, cucumber and such with some fat free italian dressing? i think…

i love hardboiled egg whites. i don't eat the yolk and i think they are only 17 calories.

i have done all 3 levels and i just love them. i do them off and on along with some other videos so i don't get bored. Just be aware that they do take a bit of time to do - the first level is 25 min - the second around 45 min and the third is almost 60 min. there are other videos out there that don't take as long - but i…

Since I have started doing the 30 Day Shred - I have been having ankle and knee pain. I assume it is from all of the jumping she has you do during cardio. My question is: Is there any way to strengthen your knees and ankles so that they don't hurt during this type of exercise? Thanks!:drinker:

Jillian's 30 day shred is only (3) 20 minute workouts that progressively get harder. i got mine for less than $10 from walmart.com and had it shipped to the local store so i didn't even pay shipping.

I am a size B - I bought my recent sports bras at Target - I feel more comfortable wearing 2 at a time. I can't stand any bounce. I have bought some from other places and still haven't found one that gives me what I want - so I just double them up and it works great!

If I remember right, when I went to their website, it said that for one hour - you would burn approx 500 calories. They did not say how much you would burn for each body type - so I don't know that it was truly accurate - but at least it gives you a ballpark figure... I don't have a HRM so I have never been able to get a…

i do a lot of leg lifts and other exercises while on my hands and knees, donkey kick, bent leg press. . . i also lay on my back and bend my knees so my feet are flat on the floor and then lift my butt off the floor - this way i tighten not only my butt, but also my stomach. i hold it during all comercials while whatching…

I am going to check them out online and see what it says. Thanks!!! I have heard a lot of good things…

my sister warmed up the crepe in a pan - then filled it with fat free cream cheese and cool whip which was mixed together - then she rolled it all up and put a dollap of fat free yogurt on top and some fresh strawberries - i have no idea on the calorie count - but she tried to use all healthy ingredients and it was…

By Gabrielle Reese Now that it's warming up, it's time to break out the hard bodies. Let's start nice and slow and begin with our arms. For a lot of us, our "wings" have been behind long sleeves, sweaters, and jackets, and they need a little love. You don't have to go to the gym, however, to work on your arms. (If you are…

I had baby fever from the time my dh and I got married. DH was not ready at all. We waited 7 years before finally having our first child. I definitely say it must be a joint decision as I have seen so many friends get pregnant without the DH being ready and it is so much harder for the wives without that support of the DH.…
