i have mommy guilt from evening workouts. I choose to workout in the morning, whether I sneak off to the gym/run around the block or do a DVD in the living room. Mornings work best if you can do it. the kids don't even know you were doing it.

I've had a really hard time doing it this winter, due to the extreme cold - alarm goes off at 5:00, at the gym by 5:30 so I can be home to get the kid off to school before going to work at 8. In bed by 9:30. I'd love to have some new friends here who workout in the morning to help motivate me with the morning alarm... if…

I get very irritible when i workout. i always attributed it to adrenaline... even if i'm feeling good when i'm doing it, i generally am annoyed by everything that's going on around me - and i LOVE working out. i just have to stay in my zone, i listen to music (my music, not the class instructor unless it's my fav…

can you tell me how to do it?

there's an old saying, "you choose your *kitten* or your face"... it's true. you're still beautiful. just showing the hard work you're doing to be healthy. be proud.

they're adjustable and stretchy, typically. you shouldn't have a problem, i wouldn't think.

I made fingers once, out of string cheese, used green pepper pieces for the nails (adhered with cream cheese) and carved out knuckles. also you can do mummies, which are like pigs in a blanket and mustard for eyes. you can do carrots sliced cross-ways into circles, then a drop of dip, topped with a black olive to make…

i put dryer sheets (fabric softener) in mine when i'm not wearing them. it works pretty well.

Mine is the same way. He "supports" me, but doesn't have the issue himself, so brings home crap for him and our son. I like to keep WW pizza in the fridge for myself for when they order pizza. And I hide my fiber one brownies and don't let them eat them b/c they are MY treats for when they treat themselves. I suggest that…

I'm looking for the same kind of peeps... with workout/training tips, eating for workouts and races, blah blah... if you want to add me, too, that'd be great!

I have "The Firm, Sculptilates" that comes with a stretch band and love it. You can get it on amazon for less than $15 with the band included. A friend recommended it for me, and she has seen fantastic results doing it regularly.

our situations are very similar. lost 60 lbs 2 yrs ago, gained back 40, am back at it and have lost 20 since february. last time it happened so much quicker (3 times as quick) and now it's taking me months to lose what i lost in weeks before. i went to a nutritionist to review my food & exercise diaries- nothing was wrong-…

pretty sure you would track that as circuit training... mix of cardio and strength exercises. huge calorie blast- circuit training is.

running outside is quite different than on a treadmill because the ground isn't doing part of the work for you. some people (myself included) find running outside goes quicker because there are more diversions from just staring down at how much longer until you're done, plus there is fresh air to feed your lungs and…
