Do you have a stairmill (mini escalator) at your gym or spin/cycle classes?

nice work :)

I started at 1200 calories and exercising about 3 days a week for 60 minutes. Cardio and strength training. I hit a 7 week plateau and upped my calories and started "zig zag" calorie counting and increased my exercise to 4-5 days a week ( 60 mins). I try to do one day of HIIT, one day of cardio and the other days of…

GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, this makes perfect sense. I appreciate the feedback and the advice. I am certainly not trying to make excuses for myself. I do push myself. I just don't know on those days when I feel so tired if I should "suck it up buttercup" and go to the gym/exercise or listen to my body and go home for bed. I reguarly…

HAHAHA I agree with Jain C foods! I like too many foods to just choose one. I do wish Velveeta Shells and Cheese was more "guilt free"

No it doesn't include travel time I would add about an hour total a day for travel time. so another 5-6 hours a week w/travel time.

On average between both jobs 52-56 hours....my quttin' time at the 2nd job isn't a precise number.

I work 2 jobs Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday I work 4:00p.m. til 8:00 p.m. Every other Saturday 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Starting next week( but only for 8 weeks) I will be working 6:00 a.m. til 4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Tuesday & Wednesday 5 p.m. til 8:00 p.m and Friday 8am-8pm.…

I get referred to as the "Ol' Lady" even though I am 2 years YOUNGER then him. He got this from my dad...that is what he calls my mom. I don't care and it doesn't bother me, he doesn't mean it in a bad way it is just conversation.

I am interested in doing low carb as well but I am really not sure where to start. A friend suggested Paleo but I am not sure I can mentally do that right now...So I was thinking of lowering my carb intake. How do I determine was is considered a good place to start?

Here is question, probably a stupid question, but if I am following this are these my NET calories or my total calories consumed. There for I would NOT be eating back exercise calories...Correct??

Because of my work schedule, working out in the evening is the only time that works for me...I have been pretty successful so far.

I didn't know about the cardio kickboxing game, but that is something I am really interested in! Thanks :)

Awesome!!! You look so great! I love your personality!!! Keep up the good work!

I was married in September 2011, My wedding rings are my husband's mother's original wedding set ( she passed away 2 years ago) they are very special to me. I had to have them sized bigger in September because she had such a small hand. Recently I had to buy "ring snugggies" from Wal-Mart to keep them on. You can get like…

I work 2 jobs SO 2-3 days a week. If I didn't I am sure it would be more, simply because I love it.

I have been battling the same 2 pounds (lost, gain, lost, gain) for a little over a month. It is beyond frustrating. I increased my calories. Changed my exercise routines. Drinking 3-4 more cups of water a day. And I can't seem to break through

I love seeing all the pictures!!! I want to do both wrists I like "live, laugh, love" but not sure yet how to do to incorporated both wrists.

I personally find wrist tattoos attractive and never gave it 2 thoughts until I was showing a co-worker what I wanted and was asking about what to get on the other wrist and then I received a bunch of "looks" and the convo began. I agree, who cares it is my body and I can do what I want to it. I was just curious how…

3 days out of the week I work 2 jobs and I work every other Saturday, it is one reason I gained so much weight. It is hard to find the time, along with everything else life calls for. I only get 30 minutes for lunch and there is no on site gym or one close by. I just have to go on the 2 days when I only work one job.…

One can't be this dumb...... never mind yes one could be....

By no means am I an expert but what I can tell you is, 5 months ago I had no idea what a kettlebell was. My friend introduce me to them. I don't use them everyday, maybe once a week. And what I have noticed esp. with the swings A) in order to be successful and get the proper work out w/o injury FORM IS A MUST B) my heart…

Yes I am trying to get the "most bang for my buck" as I am sure everyone who is car shopping is. I have time to make a purchase so I will keep looking around. I will check into the Mazada's also. I don't know much about cars....lol.
