I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

lol

Still great to see a fellow Wisconsinite ;) Feel free to add me if you need a touch of home in your journey <3

That's incredible... for all 6? Holy crap! I so want these now.

1.) When your underwear in the laundry is the first thing you grab and hide right away so your hubby won't see them and your kids won't pretend they are parachutes. 2.) When even your "comfortable" position in bed leaves you gasping from pain in the morning. 3.) When your child challenges your hubby, saying he can't pick…

You can get the daily emails whether you sign up or not. I get 7 daily emails/day (all diff subjects) from Jillian (ok, her site). Also, not to sound harsh, but I have never ever seen a membership that would refund you time you didn't use. Generally speaking, if they ask you to pay quarterly etc, then you paid for the…

I enjoy seeing the sinful recipes. My family post them all the time, but none of us actually make them. Sometimes there comes across a real great find, though, or gives you ideas for a recipe you've been playing around with. I never tell myself I can't have something, though. I find that to be too much of a temptation for…

I disagree. I swim 5 days/week for 1- 2 hours per day. When I say swim, I mean swim. Out of breath, muscles screaming etc. Using a special swimming monitor, I can easily track my HR as well as the calorie burn, and I average somewhere between 900-1100 cals burned per session. Also, swimming is low impact, but have you ever…

I am doing it alone, but not really at the same time. My girls are 7,8 and 10 years old and since pool exercises and swimming are what my doctor ordered, I make sure to go at times they can come with me. Fun for them to swim, it's a great way to burn off their excess energy as we live in the boonies, and they never let me…

Drink lots MORE water ;) I thought this was stupid until I finally tried it myself. The more water you drink, the more willing your body will be to let it go <3

I'm right there with you. Having only lost 5lbs in the past several weeks has been so hard to keep myself positive and on track, but oddly, my mother said something the other day that really made me appreciate the change and keep going. She said I needed to be patient, because even if I can't SEE a difference, there are so…

While I don't particularly agree with the way some are going nuts against you, OP, don't ignore them totally. (The quips about how you look, yes, ignore that) I think so many people are responding the way they are because they are worried. Most have gone through the "I'm ok with how I am and I don't need to change for any…

95 lbs left to go, add me if you'd like <3

How many calories are you eating each day? Your diary is private, so I can't look myself. Just based on the simple bmr calculator, your body burns 1544 calories just to do nothing. That means no getting out of bed etc. I would re assess your caloric needs, because you shouldn't honestly feel hungry. Add a bit more protein…

That sounds so yummy! They won't touch it, but wow, I might make this for the ones who will haha

Non scale victory <3

Added. I am currently 225 and 5'1. My goal is 130 even though they still say that is in the "overweight" category. We'll see how I feel when I get there ;) I have personally started swimming again, and wow. Never really considered that a workout, but I'm glad it is!

Doing absolutely everything right and burning 900+ cals/day I lost 2.5 lbs in a week and I was blown away. I would have been just as excited at 1.5! It's a LOSS woo hooo go celebrate.... the healthy way lol

This is the first YOU have heard him talk about it, but he's been battling it for a couple years. He is not affiliate with, nor does he endorse any product. He won't even tell you what brand of vitamin to buy, except tells you to go with a bigger company over one you've not heard of because they are likely to put more of…

For me, it's people seeing pictures from 10+ years ago saying "wow! you looked great!". Granted, they know that's my goal to get back to and they are trying to motivate me further, but I feel so....ick in comparison every time.

Thanks to both of you! I have to be in the pool a lot, but my hair.... lol Thanks <3

Let me tell you something.... If this is day one or even two... wait... you'll feel it LOL

I have a problem with muscle atrophy and was ordered to begin taking extra protein as part of my long term treatment. I use EAS soy protein 3 times a day. It's quite cheap compared to some of the others out there and has nothing but good in it. You can buy it in small or large canisters and can mix it with either milk or…

FYI, Dr. Oz states quite plainly that he doesn't endorse this or any other product. His name is sometimes used illegally, but it is 100% not his endorsement. Go check out his channel on Youtube or go to his facebook/twitter pages and you will see. Coffee raises your metabolism, but only by some way out number like .000001…

My youngest daughter refuses to eat meats, much like yours, and I was at my wits end until about 3 months ago. My hubby got fed up and threw some meat into the blender, then added it to what we were cooking. She couldn't see the meat, and we didn't tell her it was in there. We've been doing that ever since, although I will…

You'll probably get way more interest if you post in fitness/exercise or even weight loss instead of tech support ;)

I have to incorporate 3 glasses of EAS Protein shake mix (with water or milk) each day per doctor's orders, and I have a hard time reaching calories each day. I just don't feel hungry, and I worry about eating too much. I feel your pain. I also feel better than I have probably EVER in my life, but I am still losing. I hope…

At minimum I am in the pool for 90 minutes a day, and just recently added an hour of gym time on top of it for a total of 2 1/2 hours exercising. I feel great. The pool I use is maintained at 85-92 degrees for therapy, so that time in the pool melts away all of my soreness from doing other things.

Whatever you do, keep moving or it's going to feel 20 times worse tomorrow. Move around, stretch those muscles, and hang in there. Once you get them warmed up, you should feel fine during the workout and then more stretching etc after.

I'm IN! Week # 1 -- April 29th -- Goal 360 minutes: Mon: 60 Tue: 15 Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total : 75 / 360
