OOh, i like the sound of this one. Will try this week!

Yes, that's where they were:)

I had no idea.... will be trying these!

OMG, what a transformation, in your whole appearance! I would think you were a different person! Great job:)

Haha, I hear ya. They're all over my weights, under my lifting weights :o and it's a chorus of "mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" haha. So yes, I do it when they're in bed.

Hi X_Tina, I"m doing dailyhiit.com, and have gone about it two ways. One way, I was told by a MFP user, was to log a hiit workout as about a 25-30 minute Calisthenics - Vigorous Effort workout. Even though the workouts may be 12-20 min, this takes into account the extra after-burn of a Hiit workout. This person also did a…

Plus, I LOVE that i'm saving the cost of gym memberships. That means more $$ for workout clothes;)

I do! I do! I mean, I do LOVE the gym! However with kids and such, just not fair to get home from work, pick them up from the sitter, then drop off at a gym daycare. And I'd never see them! I work out from home with vids (ChaLEAN), Hiit vids from the internet, some crossfit routines, and workouts found on Pinterest - some…

Agreed.

roast in 1.5" chunks, rolled in olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt. fam loves them

ok, this is my first time posting a pic.... 30 day squat challenge before and after, month of April. I notice my bum being higher also. This was hell on my knees, FYI, so for maintenance will be doing other moves that don't involve all that knee bending. I did reg squats, plie squats, bowlers lunges, split squats.

Yep, it's full of daggers in there!

Hiya everyone! I'm from Calgary, 32 years old. I've been on MFP now for a month, loving it, and so addicted! Most of my fitness routine is from home - ChaLEAN extreme videos, dailyhiit.com videos, pinterest workouts, and just finishing up the 30 day squat challenge. Next i'm going to do a 25 day dailyhiit challenge.…

Ooh, I like! Thank you for posting this, and sharing the details!

I did it for the first time last night, and enjoyed it. If i'm going to go to a class, I'd still prefer hot yoga, but this has it's place. I liked the focus on those 'problem areas' for women - I can definitely feel it today! Also liked that it was a long cardio session, without having to jump around like a maniac.

hahahahaha

Fantastic! Love your style, too!

Agreed - subtract natural sugars (but keep in mind not to overdo the fruit - reach for veg instead.) I found i was surpassing the sugar guideline no matter what i did, until another poster told me to take away the fruit sugars:)

Hi there, I'm new too! I do the cooking for our family, and a lot of it. I like the heart that goes into cooking, and i like knowing what's in our foods. We aren't strict organic, gluten free, dairy free, or any other sort of anything-free, however, I like to make from scratch where i can. and where I can't, well therein…

I am trying to fall in love with mine, thanks for the inspiration:) Mine are pretty sturdy, no twiggy legs here, and the toning will come. With it also, i'm hoping, some cellulite reduction. looking good!

I am so moved by this story - the actions of those around you, and also your willingness to grab onto this opportunity and 'run' with it. You've changed my day, and so also the day of those around me, as i will endeavor to pay it forward also:) Thank you for your story, and all the best for your journey:)

I'm 5'8", thanks! Love being tall and fit!!

Hey all, from Alberta, Canada 5'8" SW 139 CW 136 GW 125 or 19%bf Workouts: ChaLEAN or DailyHiit.com Snacks: roasted chickpeas, beet chips, probiotic yogurt Friend me if we're similar, we can keep each other on track!

Right or wrong, I also at times opt for sleep as opposed to stressing my body with an early morning wake-up and work-out, if I know I haven't had adequate sleep (say, under 6 hours. I usually do get a solid 8.) If you're having trouble sleeping, you could try melatonin before bed and/or magnesium. I have a magnesium…

I'm thoroughly impressed with your transformation:) Also seems like you've adopted a fair amount of negative self-talk; i'm sure with the many compliments you're bound to receive, such as today, that voice will slowly whither and die. You look amazing!

Agreed. I think any activity that gets your heart rate up for an extended period is worth logging:)

Remember your inspiration, your baby girl! You will thank yourself afterward:)

I, too, am aiming for the lower end of my BMI range. Like some of you, i just want to see what my body is capable of. Those 'healthy' BMI ranges and body fat ranges are so vast, I think it can really give you a sense of complacency. I'm aiming for 19-21% bf, i'm currently at 25.9%, and i'm aiming for 19 BMI (currently at…

omg, when i'm on one of my 'weekend missions', THAT counts as a workout, and for sure I log it! When we're talking handwashing and scrubbing floors, washing walls, vacuuming stairs, cleaning out the pantry/garage/basement, and climbing the stairs countless times, you bet i'm sweating and huffing and puffing. do that for 3…

Hi Tanya, I agree with LovesTheSeason, it is a lifestyle change in that you have to prepare (ie go to bed earlier, have your gear ready, etc.) to make it happen. i work m-f and have kids, so i do early mornings (5:45) before anyone gets up. in order to do this, i have my workout clothes in the hall, shoes in my workout…
