Too much! Lol. $1,700. However, DH also loved it. His ankle is shot (he's 32 and looking at ankle replacements right now) So the low impact is about the only thing he can do. Im trying to use that to justify the cost. It is definitely higher than a "regular" rowing machine, but I really liked that you got resistance both…

This might not be the popular idea, but Ive kind of recently decided- I like food, and thats okay! So instead of trying to deprive/starve myself, I've decided to add in a second daily workout to offset my snacks. I love to eat, and I love to workout, so I can achieve a different kind of balance! On another note, I read a…

Nie to meet you! We sound quite similar. I am also 29 and have 2 kiddos! (9 and 5, both boys) I totally get how you feel about the eating thing. I have finally learned that my hunger cue isn't in my stomach. Its in my head. I start getting "foggy" in my thoughts and grumpy in my reactions, and movements get "hazy" if that…

Thanks so much for chiming in and sharing your experience. I've tried weights in the past (we used to have a fancy cable machine) And honestly, they just aren't my thing! I LOVE yoga, like Pink sparkly heart have found my happy place, and power yoga is just weights with body weight, really. I just finished a 108 day power…

ohh! May I join? 5 foot 2 Starting:127 size 6 mini Goal:120 size 4 Ultimate goal: Tone and build muscle, enjoy life and be happy. 5/15- 127 5/22- 5/29-

Thanks so much for the idea! I just started an acv/lemon juice cleanse and look forward to discovering its benefits. Ive always used ACV when I was sick as an immune booster, but will keep it in mind for other things now.

I sent you a friends request! Good luck on your journey!

I semi recently got the "against all grain, meals made simple" cook book and seriously haven't had a bad meal from it yet! My favorite is the sausage aribata.

My naturopath suggested cutting carbs down to 40 grams a day for weight loss and adding in Lots of protein and good fats. I've was suck at a plateau the past 4 months after gaining 5 lbs that would not budge, and this advise finally broke it! I'm down 2 lbs in a week from cutting the carbs.

Rebounding! It's super low impact. (Up to 80% less than running depending on the model you choose) the forct at your ankles is equal to the force at your head and neck so nothing gets "abused" Bonus- rebounding "shakes up" the lymphatic system, which helps flush out toxins and boosts immune system function. This can…

I also suffer from being "skinny fat" unfortunately I can't run on a treadmill anymore, so I started looking for other options.I came across Rebounding. (Mini trampoline workouts) I'm about a week in and honestly, it's the most fun I've ever had working out! I'm definitely feeling the burn in my muscles, and I've lost 2…

Meditation, yoga, healthy whole foods, and fresh air!

Way to go! And Another :handclap: on the costume! Brilliant work in every way.

Wow! So inspiring!

Just a bump to see if anyone else is interested!

I always stuck to thrift stores until I reached my goal! I ended up with nice fitting clothes, that were maybe not exactly my style, but saved my money to splurge on clothes I REALLY wanted, in a size I was happy with. I just hit a weight I am happy with and splurged on some really nice not your daughters jeans hoping it…

I started feeling good about myself at maybe a size 6/8. Really great when I hit a 4 and I shocked myself when I was just able to buy size 2 jeans! I'm small though, at only 5' 2" with itty bitty bone structure and no boobs no matter what my size so to feel thin I've got to be super tiny. I've still got mommy gut to…

It's my own routine, I just committed to 30 days. 3 sets each 12 weighted side bends 10 cable crunches with oblique twists. 12 leg lifts 25 weighted dishwashers Pilates 100 Plank for 60 seconds Side planks for 30 seconds each

Also, I am pretty easy going with homemade treats. If you make brownies from scratch with real ingredients, eat a small one, let him eat a bunch and give the rest to the neighbor. I believe health is about living life not about dieting. Weight will come off in time, and brownies are a part of life. Eat them, and enjoy them…

We have an "it doesn't come in the house" rule here. There are no processed foods or treats in the pantry, but I don't worry so much when we are out, granted, we are home 90% of the time so it works well for us. It might not work well for someone who is out a lot. As for staying strong, I know its a controversial saying…
