I've been a nurse for 20 years. 8 years as an LPN. I have an Assosciates in Applied Science. I highly recommned to get your BSN. Soon this is the only degree that will be accepted (so I'm told) but more than that...you will have many, many more opportunities with this degree. More room for advancement and several more…

go to www.zumbacalories.org/ or www.caloriesburnedhq.com....a hear rate monitor would say exactly amount burned. Prior to getting a HRM I used the first site listed and it is pretty accurate to the HRM that I use.

I think you look fantastic in all of them. BTW you have natural beauty...no need for makeup! I love all of the dresses, thay are all very nice in their own way. If I were the one choosing for you I'd go with #3 with the boots...so awesome! You'll be turning heads for sure. Let us know which you decide and have a great…

To be perfectly honest...Your abs look GREAT to me AND I do not think you have anymore fat to lose!!!!! If you are doing Turbo Fire, Chalene works your abs in every workout you do. You could try Jillian Micheals 6 week/6 Pack. She does include cardio with the ab work. It's about 30 minute workout.

This past summer I started running. Much to my surprise I was able to run 4-5 miles. I never ran before and never considered myself a runner but once I started I became to love the exercise above all others. BUT after 6 months of running my Left outer knee and middle knee started to hurt about 20 min into my run. I…

I had gall stones. My first attack (which feels like you are having a heart attack, brings you right to your knees and you can't breath) was a few weeks post C-section. Since I was nursing at the time my primary Dr wanted me to wait until I was done and follow a No fat/low fat diet. I follwed Dr's orders and my next attack…

YES, OH YES I'll have one of him. THANK YOU!!

they had one on HSN the other day. It was just under $500 and it didn't need to be plugged in. Looked sturdy, I wanted it for myself but didn't jump.

They are PRECIOUS! Congratulations!!!!

You can't have EXCUSES and RESULTS Pain is Weakeness leaving the body

DIDO...and they are relatively inexpensive about 10 dollars a piece and all you need are hand weights and a yoga mat. I also love Turbo Jam with Chalean Johnson but this is an entire series and if I rember right it was over $100

Welcome, if you stick with this lifestyle changeand use the tools on this site you will def meet your goals. Congratulations on your engagement!

Sometimes one kisses a lot of toads before they find their prince. This guy may be your Prince. You'll never know unless you pursue. Best wishes!

Sounds fun! I would log as Curcuit Training

I have been on week 2 for awhile now. I want to be able to perfect the moves before advancing to week #3. Week 2 is INTENSE! She does a lot of exercises in Plank Position including plank jacks, mountain climbers, crow push ups and so on.... I do love this video because I feel like I get a great work out in a short time.…

Right now you are turning fat into muscle. You are acheiving definition. muscle weighs more than fat...the weight will come off. Be patient, do not give up. The same thing happened to me. People see me and say WOW you've lost a lot of weight. I answer, no not really but I've dropped 2 pant sizes! I am totally happy with…

I use circuit training for all Jillians exercises

You do not have to eat your exercise calories back, but you do have to eat at least 1200 cal a day (for woman). When I burn a ton of cals such as you did on the treadmill, I would eat 1/2 the cals back. If you were to eat all the cals you burned you would lose whatever your setting is per week (i.e 1 pound) If you don't…

Great info, thanks for sharing

I strongly suggest that if this is the first time doing these videos that you start slowly. I jumped right in to NMTZ and walked like the Tin Man for a week. Of course I hadn't been doing anything prior except walking. I got quick results with NMTZ. This video is longer. I don't own 30d shred. I have ripped in 30 and am…

New fav- Kashi Go-Lean Crisp: Toasted Berry Crumble. 9g protein, 8g fiber, 180 cals, 3.5g fat for 3/4 cup. Keeps me satisfied and is delicious! :wink:

awesome post! thanks for sharing.

BFBM does not use weights(other than own body weight) but is killer cardio and the session is longer which you'll burn more cal's. I would say a combination of these 2 video's and you'll get to your goal in no time. I also have NMTZ and Ripped in 30. One thing I'm certain of is, any of Jillians videos are effective if you…

you've come to the right place. Welcome!:happy:

filling- 1-1/2 # Hamburg (I use gound turkey), onions, salt, peper, garlic salt(or powder), Rice 1/2-3/4 cup uncooked (I use brown) 2 cans tomato sauce. Dilute a samll amount of the sauce with water. Mix with filling, then fill peppers. Put tops on and pour sauce on top. Bake covered @ 350 for about 3 hours. * the burger…

Excellent question. I have had 3 C-Sections, the last being 20 months ago. I've also had a umblicus hernia repair and my gallbladder removed. A total of 5 abdominal surgeries within 7 years. I have been doing various DVD's for about 5 months such as Turbo Jam and Jillain Michaels. All of these DVD's work on abs. I can def…

I log the 3 DVD's you mention as circuit training.

I do No More Trouble Zones. After the first day I walked like the Tin Man for 2-3 days. I was a hurting unit. On day 4 I jumped right back in. I do it on a regular basis 3-4 times a week. I noticed dramatic results very quickly! I went down 2 pant sizes. I never thought I'd see this size again. I had 3 children in 7 years…

I lost an entire cup size. Really would have preferred keeping my C's and now I'm a B. Was a full D while nursing. So these girls have seen lots of sizes. The poor things look like poached eggs. Thank goodness for clothing and a good Victoria Secret bra:blushing:
