I post it under Aerobic, General and I use the Wii Zumba and yes, I'm sweating and my heart is racing for most of it!!!

So it seems like a Friday weigh in will be best for all of us - perfect way to stay on track for the weekend! Also, since we're all moms I don't know about you but I'd love to get some more kid friendly meals that the whole family can eat verses cooking different items. And lets share what we are trying to lose and what…

Congratulations to you! That is awesome

I know this sounds simple but just stop. Put your scale away so you have to take it out to use it. I was obsessed too ... I'd weigh myself before lunch after ,etc... it was crazy. I worked myself into the habit of just once a day in the morning... that is the best I can do...

Sorry to all my friends - I've been MIA for about 10 days now. I hurt my neck, left shoulder and hand and have been doing PT and just living in pain! BUT I'm back (still recovering) but ready to keep losing weight! I'm a little afraid to get on the scale because I feel like I've gained so my goal is to have a terrific week…

Happy Monday... so I was pretty much absent this weekend. I feel like I've lost my umph and I need to get back in the rhythm. I'm not sure why - we have been outside gardening, the diet hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been great either. I need to become more consistent with everything - exercise, food, etc. I thnk that…

Good morning So lost 2 lbs this week but it doesn't really feel like a win since I gained 2 lbs last week!!! So frustrating but I feel like I've hit a plateau ... I can't seem to get under that 212 mark. I haven't been the best with my eating nor my exercising so I know why - just need to renew my determination!!! I have a…

April 1- 213 April 8 - 215 :( April 15 - 213 Talk about up and down... I can't seem to get below 212 ... I think I need to suck it up and really be tough to get past this point!

Bump for later...

Good morning everyone Today, my plan is to roast two whole chicken - one for dinner tonight and the rest for leftover lunches and protein bites!!! I think I'm going to try and make a little curried chicken salad, some other items loaded with veggies and chicken. Also, my newest yummy discovery - Thomas English Muffins -…

Hi Autumn - hopefully these ideas can help you with drinking more water because I almost always have at least 10 glasses a day. The key is to keep water with you at all times - and if I get at least 4 to 6 glasses in before 12 then I'm golden the rest is easy. Here are a few other tips I use: -if you are going to be out…

The last 5 days have been really hard for me diet wise... I just can't seem to get motivated. I'm not eating horribly bad - a few calories over but I really want to try and lose 10 lbs a month and now that I've said that - it seems that the weight loss has completely stopped ... :grumble:

hysterical! Thanks for the early morning smile!!!

Did anyone see that report on parents and weight on Good Morning America yesterday - I caught a glimpse of it and no surprise - "The majority (not sure what the percent was) of moms after having children eat less healthy, 40% more fat or something but dads do not show the same development of unhealthy habits" One of the…

Thanks everyone... after reading what all of you wrote and thinking about it - I think I have a better plan on how to do it! Also, I think believe it or not the push-ups (modified version) hurt my knees big time. I do this workout on hardwood floor with just a yoga mat and I think tomorrow I'm going to try it in another…

Does it have a chest strap as well or only the watch version?

So my first week in April was horrible - gained 2 lbs instead of losing any!!! But I'm still going to try and do the 10 lbs in one month because that's really what I need to do for myself! Here goes to Week 2! CW: 215

Hi there poesch77 I recently had my cortisol levels checked (its a saliva test) you do 3 times in one day and then send it... I just wanted to caution you because this is something I learned - it is feasible to bring your cortisol levels down and very important to do so and have normal levels because it impacts your immune…

Cooking Light has some good recipes both on website as well as magazine

To swillis - My little guy (5 years old) does daycare / preschool because I work BUT what I used to do and sometimes still do when he's home are the following: -Stroller walks... pushing 2 kids in the stroller is work if you moving fast -Dance Party - that's our current favorite one and we all get hot and sweaty... I don't…

Its absolutely awesome that you did it... I did the same last week - took the dog for a walk! Made me sleep so much better not being in the negative!!!

Bump - I would love to get some other tips. Mine is when I'm craving salt (which is way more than sweet) - I love bbq sunflower seeds (not hulled) so you have something to suck on before you even pop them open and enjoy the tiny seed!!! OR pistachios - roasted and salted For sweet- I can usually get away with a cup of…

I have trouble eating all my calories too - especially if I have an amazing exercise day... There are so many theories on the starvation mode thing and I'm just not ready to jump on one wagon or another -- I try to eat till I'm satisfied, and I also try to go to bed not feeling hungry but not totally full... I notice that…

So I have a moment and I thought I would share too... I'm Natasha - mom of Jack, wife of Scott... both my husband and I are determined to lose the weight year- I have about 100 lbs to lose which is totally intimidating. I'm a working mom so time is tough and on top of it - I'm a corporate chef so food is my life!!! I write…

I'm a little confused - if every day you are going to start a new thread - how will we find it??? I think it will be easier than going through the old thread to find the new stuff but want to make sure I can find it!!! Thanks!

I asked this question last week :) - either as Circuit Training OR Calisthenics, Vigorous ...

I'm in... I'm a mom of 1 - 5year old boy and need to loose almost 100 pounds! My mini-goal is to lose 10 lbs every month...

What about Calisthenics since it includes vigorous - push ups, sit-ups, etc.????????
