I don't care about the sweat.. but I don't like the weight loss. I've got 2 things I love about my body right now. my feet and my boobs. Thankfully, my feet will stay the same as I lose weight, but the boobs turn into little deflated balloons which is a total downer. And there's nothing I can do about it! (except a boob…

Gotta say I agree with the original poster. The other day at work my husband left a love note on my car. My coworker found out about it and she was complaining that her husband never does anything romantic. So... we had a big (friendly) talk about the fact that it's a two way street. I kinda encouraged her to realize..…

4x week for 30 min-1 hr . The other 3 days I'm working a 12 hr shift, so while I'm not officially "exercising" I am on my feet most of the time and doing some heavy lifting while transferring patients... and occasionally getting a REAL workout... doing CPR or having a patient tell me they're going to punch me in the face…

I am waiting for 30d shred to get here, I have p90x. I found p90x fine for the firs 2 weeks, but I hate repetition, especially since each workout is so long (almost an hour) I just couldnt' stay with it mentally, even though I was able to do most of it physically. if you have netflix, you can just search "pilates" or "abs"…
-
grrr, kept getting interrupted by my 8 yo.. but there was nothing i wasn't able to do. But i only have 6 and 8 lb weights, so... no weights for me.
-
if you have a netflix account, just search "burn firm" and you'll find "the crunch: burn and firm pilates" then click "watch instantly". Start it up in 10 minutes and we'll be doing it together!
-
Rileymama.. I can do whatever. I haven't done any of them yet, so I was just looking for SOMETHING..and didn't know which to pick. I'll do burn and firm if you want.

to tell the truth...I've got sexy feet!!:bigsmile:

I'm with sue26! That's actually the first thing I thought of.. wake up, roll over, cuddle until I ABSOLUTELY have to get out of bed (either to pee or to get ready for work). then it's bathroom and coffee .

Can you afford to buy a good pair of running shoes, and a pair of the vibrams (or similar)? If you have a specialty running store in your area, they will likely be able to set you up with a pair of shoes that fit your needs the best (our local running store has a treadmill with a camera on the feet so they can slow-motion…

Another nosy girl here. my husband is a daily runner. he uses vaseline on the areas that tend to chaffe for longer runs. cheaper than the glide stick thing.

I wanna! Hopefully it arrives by then. also, is 30DS an exercise dvd that you EVERY day? or are there any breaks? I know very little about it (obviously) it's very hard for me to get motivated to do an exercise dvd on my work days (I work three 12+hr shifts a week as an ER nurse which keeps me busy/tired --ok exhausted--…

are you talking about stomach cramps or "side stitches"? If so, I've read that a lot of those side cramps are from your diaphragm being irritated and cramping up. One remedy I've read and tried with some success is to change your breathing significantly if you feel a cramp coming on. maybe you're exhaling on every step…

I don't think you're ever going to find an exact answer. If everything was based solely on heartrate, then yes, the more fit person would burn less calories but, like you said, the more fit person may have a greater muscle mass, so they continue to burn more calories for longer after the exercise than the less fit person,…

I prefer a "core" routine to an ab routine, but still do a more ab-isolated routine a couple of times a week (when I'm being good) I think it's more important to strengthen/tighten your entire core for that "girdle" effect than to just concentrate on abs This is the program I like, quick, but not easy. I can't find the…

If it's really worrisome to you, can you drive or bike somewhere more private (although not TOO private, want to be safe) My 12 yo son is overweight and so when we run together we'll drive a few miles from our house and get lost in a little maze of neighborhoods/cul-de-sacs where there isnt' a lot of foot or car traffic so…

Really great! It's all down hill from here! I remember when I first started running and how difficult it was to run even 1/8 of a mile, but I kept at it and once I got to where I could run a mile, it wasn't long before I could run 3! Now I run races (usually 5Ks but I did run a 10 mile last month) and do interval training…

Ok, I'm new.. but 150?! Wow! is that all at once, or by the end of the day? I read this and was only able to eek out 25 girl pushups in a row. A few minutes later I did 15 more.. but 150 is daunting for a newb!

legs have never been a problem, it's the belly! (won't be participating in abs day, obv!) ~LP (Day 1 of 2011 bathing suit challenge!, haven't been active on MFP for a year at least!)

whoops.. double post! here I'll change it to : rah rah rah! You can do it! you WILL do it! :flowerforyou:
-
corny maybe, but it made me laugh out loud! I'm new (or new again, was on here a year ago) and I've found that making sure I drink plenty of water and eliminating alcohol from my diet (except for once a week.. i cant' give up red wine completely) has REALLY helped. also, I've been eating minimal amts of starchy foods. Not…

Well, I started MFP about a year ago. Lost 12 lbs. then got out of habit by end of summer (too hot to exercise, I told myself). Gained back 7 or 8 lbs over the fall/winter. awww shucks! Finally talked to my boyfriend about my struggles. I'm not overweight, but I am about 10 lbs heavier than I was when he met me. I've read…

Only Real! Maybe it's a product of where I live (Pac NW) but ...... I can't imagine having a fake tree. I look so forward to the adventure every year. driving up the mountain, hiking through the snow looking for the perfect (sad, charlie brown ) tree. Drinking wine and eating pears and brie up in the snow while we look.…

Curious to hear your story (you can PM me if you want). When did you get sore? I had mine out today, under general anesth (propofol). And I feel. well.. fine. is it going to get a lot more miserable? or am I just really lucky? It's been 5 hrs since my surgery. No swelling/ bruising. The bleeding has pretty much stopped.…

Tiny diamond stud in my R nostril 1 other piercing. (non MFP friendly) No tattoos.

At the end of week 2 and 4, you are supposed to do "another exhaustion test". When is everyone doing that? Are you just counting how many pushups you were able to do at the end of your work out (your "MAX")? or are you supposed to rest for a few hours/a day and then just strictly do the exhaustion test? TIA!

The hardest thing is getting out the door! I have that problem all the time. Yesterday I didn't didn't didn't want to go running, then by the time I Got about .5 miles into it, I felt really good and ended up running my "Long" route, instead of my short one (4.25 miles instead of 2.5 miles). Sometimes, though, when I'm…

I have ZERO experience with military deployment/ long absences etc. So take what I say with a grain (ahem, a brick) of salt. but. I think you should not beat yourself up for being angry. You and your fiancee may not be "handeling it" as well as some people but I'm sure you're doing a lot better than others. This is a huge…

thanks for the advice. we both wear sunglasses, I hadn't thought of that. I'll look for some other options!

I seem to do ok with the regular ear buds when I run, but occasionally, the want to fall out. My BF can never use the regular ear buds when he runs (he uses the lame-o early 90s, over the head, like an alice in wonderland head band, kind). His ears dont' look it but they must be shaped funny because they won't hold the…
