i thought i had IBS, turned out i have celiac disease. i was in a lot of pain too, especially after i ate, basically dropped down to like 700 cals....just didnt feel like eating i was so bloated! i went and talked with my doctor and after i was tested i took gluten out of my diet, 2 days later i was literally back to my…

hey i have three kids too, ages 6,3,2. it is hard to lose the weight, truly is and finding the time to workout can be hard at times, there is always something else that needs to be done weather its the housework or the kids need something. you just need to remember that if this is something that you really want to do, you…

hey there. im not dairy free but do have celiac disease so i follow a gluten free , add me if you would like! kari

fueling your body correctly....the healthy weight will follow

why do you need to burn 1700 cals in a day? may i ask what your doing to burn 1000 cals in just one hour?

do what feels good to you....if you have a day that you go a little over its okay, if your finding it hard to get to your limit, i understand. thats why i dropped my limit to 1200....i was having a hard time getting to the 1500 that MFP gave me. and as far as calorie burns for JM....everyone is different and it depends on…

just finished my second round of this! i loved it! seen a huge difference both times i completed the program! the second time i started on the second phase, weighted 139lbs (was at that weight for about 6 weeks, couldn't lose a pound!) when i finished i was 134lbs! good luck, i'll probably do it again in the new year! add…

thanks everyone!

thanaks for that post! i had just downloaded that file this week but seen that it was over 200 pages i didnt know if i would ever read it! lol thanks again

I work out twice a day too, but it is because I have 3 small children and I find it easier to do 30-40 minutes of cardio in the morning and then do 30 minutes or so of strength training later on in the day

hey i have a 2 yr old,3 yr old and a 6 yr old. and i usually do my workout videos during the day with my two younger boys at home. i get them to do it with me, they love it! and when i tell them they are doing a great job they get so excited to be exercising with mama. my two yr old has a set of 2lb weights, my 3yr old has…

ive been lifting for about 6 months, and totally love the changes in my body! feel free to add me, would love to have the support!

don't forget to take your measurements!!!! sometimes you may not notice a drop in the scales but you will see a difference in your measurements!

have you taken your measurements? my first month working out i lost 10' in total but my weight did not change....not even a pound! so far i've only lost like 12 pounds but lost 26' in total. so sometimes the scales lie lol. look for the inches lost, how your clothes fit and how you feel! Pictures can also help to see the…

what are you looking to do? I'll join. i need to change things up to get my last few pounds off! :smile: :smile:

hey pretty similiar stories, i had my 3 kids between 2007-2011 too. im not sure how ppl lose weight either by just changing their foods, you need to exercise to have the best results. although i do count cal, not because i want to limit my food intake, but to understand food better. i found that by tracking my foods, i…

hey, i think its very common, i wouldnt worry about, wait to see if you miss another one first. there are many reasons to miss it, hell even just to much stress! i only eat roughly 1400, exercise a bunch, my diary is open check it out, i usually only have one every 2 months, and according to my doctor im fine and healthy.…

your calorie burn for your videos would be higher. everyone is different but we are the same height and i weight 139lbs. for a 30 min JM dvd i burn 186cal. i know its 10 mins longer, but with you just starting out, i bet you would burn closer to what i am.

well i guess my goal weight is 135lbs, so its only 4 more pounds to go, but i am happy with this weight as well. I more or less would like to tone and i have a large baby pouch. Three children all by C-section within a 4 year period. I'm kind of thinking that my body has just gone into maintenance mode. and i was told…

I do log everything in my diary, as for water, probably not enough water though, at least 6 glasses a day though. just not sure on how to go about eating more. I know it sounds weird, lol. like in the evenings when im looking at my diary i try to add more to it just to top up my calories. its really hard to force yourself…

1200, is not under eating! choose what you eat carefully. MFP set my calorie goal at 1200.

OMG, I hope this is true for me too, i wear an 11, and im only 5'7 lol
