AWESOME!!!! Great job!

here are some suggestions: Jumprope Play with the kids and use them as weights At the park with the kids, don't sit on the bench play Look for 20 minute workouts online Hula Hoop (yes I did this one) Nice day out, take a walk with the kids Music and have a dance party I spent a lot of time with my daughter keeping both of…

I have done many things and do some in the house: Jumprope (knees make this no longer an option, but I miss it) Hula hoop Ice Skating Roller Skating Walking to my destination Taking the stairs (my knees don't always allow anymore, but I live on the 23rd floor and it was a great option) Swimming Dancing Standing instead of…

While a lot of people here say Heavy Lifting is the only way to transform your body, that is not true. Pilates will be strength and muscle Plyometrics builds strength Body weight exercises Yoga is also good for strength (I recommend classes though) You do not need to lift heavy to transform your body. It is one choice and…

I don't feel it encourages convenience or natural either way. It is a database to find nutrition. You can find nutrition of most fresh items somewhere either in the data base or out on the net. personally I am eating more convenience foods than I would like, but that has to do with where I am in my life. I am working…

If your in love it won't matter how he/she proposes. The point is that it should be the right person and someone you can spend your life with. Personally I think too many women are hung up the romantic "getting married" part and forget that this is really a life time commitment with someone you want to be with. FYI,…

Now I have to cut spinach out of my diet too. So lets see: Chocolate is good for me Sugar is bad Wine is good for me Juice drinks are bad Spinach is bad for me Coconut oil will slim my waste So I should eat unsweetened chocolate mixed with coconut oil while drinking Wine, this will keep me hearth healthy and slim.

OK moderation does not mean keeping the food in your house people. I can't have Vienna fingers in my house as I will just eat the entire thing. However, if I want and I see a single serving package, I can have that. It won't make me pig out because one day I had these cookies. Everything in moderation means, its OK to have…

I hate HEAT, so in summer I prefer indoor workouts. I don't mind outdoor workouts in fall or spring, but when it gets over 70 degrees, no thank you. I also don't like running, so that doesn't help. I prefer to dance. I go to gym for classes and lifting. I do Zumba, Kickbox and weight training. I do some at home too, but I…

Actually I didn't believe this either until I had heard a few first hand stories: 1- Woman felt pregnant many symptoms, but kept getting her period. 2- Woman said to dr "I am pregnant" did the urine test, no your not. Finally forced Dr to do an ultrasound and she was like 6 months pregnant. It actually does happen. Most…

At heavier weight my knees hurt. I gained back just a few pounds and feeling it in my knees this week already. also when I eat healthier my stomach feels better, my joints hurt less and and the exercise makes me feel better overall. I slacked off a bit and lost energy and just didn't feel as good. Staying on track keeps me…

I was 12 and I hadn't grown at all, but had gained like 10lbs in one year, Doctor said that was too much. The sad part is that I had been sick for a week shortly before that and had lost 10lbs from that. My parents also always pointed out to watch what I eat because I didn't want to get fat. My dad sold Mother of the Bride…

Hi, the best person to ask is your Dr. However, I work from the place that says "if it hurts don't do it". I hurt my shoulder a while back, initially it hurt, got a cortisone shot and felt good. Hurt it the beginning of vacation, but continued to do everything on vacation (waterpark, swimming with kid, etc) and I couldn't…

I have the same problem. when I am just sad, I try working out, keeps up my mood sand keeps me out of food. However, if it is stress and tired from work, it gets really hard. So I try very hard to have the right foods around and keep junk out of the house. It helps but not perfect (especially since husband doesn't have…

I can't eat that low calorie ever. I am just too hungry. I try the fruit and tons of veggies and still doesn't work for me. I am probably too active and lift. They say the more muscle you have the higher your metabolism. I don't know what it is. I eat around 1500-1700 and lose consistently when I stay there. Of course…

SugaryLynx - LOVE your ticker. It was actually Saturday, not today, but I wore my new Deadpool T-shirt with pride :) and had a conversation on comic books with the waitress at lunch :) Oh and my daughter told me her class schedule for fall and my biggest concern was what time she gets out of class on Friday so she can meet…

I didn't read all the answers, but Frozen veggies healthier than canned and often can be just as inexpensive. Often they have less salt and some of the Steamfresh bags are almost an entire meal on their own.

If a child is misbehaving tell the parent. If the parent is rude or says "I don't need to make my kid behave" tell management. A story on a screaming child has been spread around the web true or not, you have no idea why the child is screaming. The story has it as a child with Autism. Some will say keep him home, maybe…

I do different things, bike and elliptical would bore me to death too. But when I was stuck on the bike I used to read a book while riding. It worked for me. Can you do other low or no impact exercises? Like Pilates? Upper body only weights?

Megan Fox is not April, your right Felicia Day is April. That is a huge disappointment. I love the Turtles :)

Major Stress, couldn't get my lunch together before I left. Grabbed a protein bar. The guy I work with asked me if I wanted to take a walk to get lunch, yes, protein bar is just not enough. Well I could have gotten Chicken Parmesan sandwich or Sausage and peppers, but I looked at the broccoli, green beans and grilled…

Everything happens for a reason for sure, but the outcome isn't always the one you want. Each choice we make and each event shapes us and moves us in a direction. If we are lucky they move us in a good direction, but our choices are a big part of it. I love my job and wouldn't be here if I didn't turn down another job that…

I personally have never heard such stupidity ever. What do they tell fitness instructors? You can't be in shape and work here? My one teacher is so strong and toned I always think "wow, I want that" But this right here sums up how they really went against their own policy: "Austin says she's no lunk-head and she's not a…

I understand completely, my mom has a problem with them for that reason too. My father's cousin had numbers on her arm.

I have no ink, do not judge those with ink, actually I love ink. However, I am afraid of needles and my husband hates tattoos, so no ink for me. My daughter wants ink, I had told her to wait till she was 18, so she wouldn't regret it later. She has no $ so no ink yet. My thinking, its your body, do what you want.

I have weights, a mat and a fit ball that I use regularly at home. Before I hurt my knee I used to jumprope in the house as well. I also used play time with my daughter to workout, chasing her on park equipment, climbing, or using the step on a play thing like a step workout. My daughter was also a great weight and loved…

I put a mat on the floor to help deaden the sound a bit. That seems to muffle things for the neighbors, no complaints when I do Zumba or anything like that. I also do it before 10pm in the living room. Don't workout over their bedroom, you never know when they will be sleeping. Do your best to muffle the sound (mat,…

I loved Yoga from the beginning, but hate HOT yoga. I like Vinyasa yoga or Hatha Yoga. I had really good instructor that made it more interesting. Some Yoga instructors believe you should do the same thing in each class, I find that boring. I like the ones that challenge a bit. FYI, if you are having back problems make…

I'm a nerd because you talked about the book list and I had to see how many I read, only 18, but 5 are on my to read list. the rest just don't interest me that much. Oh and yesterday I saw that there was a Firefly marathon on the Science Channel, guess what I did all day instead of cleaning (and yes I said many of the…

Oh for veggies, I buy frozen and microwave them. The steamfresh bags are great, comes out tasting quite good and the plain ones have not added salt.
