I made a lifestyle change and try to eat clean. Diets with a "s" fail, you must change your life and your habits for life in order to see long terms changes.

You will need a mat, but you can get it at target or walmart then or not as long and durable, if you need it sooner. You will need Chin up bar if you will not have a place to do pull ups especially if they are moving you around a lot. The weighs not necessary, bands will be fine, mostly using your own body weigh. Good Luck.

Sorry, I've been MIA. The twins birthday and Hayden starting school life is a little crazy. Still working out and logging my calories, just hadn't posted here in a while. I will try to start fresh tomorrow.

yes, you must all your calories. Try eating 5-6 small meals instead of 3 big meals.

Yes, change it as you weight drops. I just updated mine and noticed a 10 calorie difference in the same workouts.

If you need to see the exercises their is mom and fitness expert named Lindsey Brin ho is founder of Moms into Fitness. She has a great dvd for like $10 called Lindsay Brin CFS Method, Tummy tuck without surgery and it helps me after having a c-section with my twins.…

difference between what you ate and what your body burned that day with exercise. allotted 1200 calories worked and burned 300 1500 was given to you to eat for the day you only ate 1100 you have a deficit of 400 calories.

cardio is a must to get rid of layer of fat covering muscles, then strength training to tone and tighten. I'm currently doing TurboJam which targets, abs, waist, hips and thighs. - all of which are my trouble areas. I started off with elliptical to get the jump start on weight loss, so walking, running, jogging, elliptical…

1200 is without exercise, that is cutting your calories by 300 from 1500 in order to lose a pound a week. you eat 1200 then add back your exercise calories.

Great Job. I love meat too much to give it up completely. I hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly and you reach your goals to a healthier and littler you.

The average only needs to eat 1200 to lose weight if their body takes 1500 calories a day to fuel itself. So you add the 500 to your 1200 calories and eating 1700 before exercise in order to shed the weight and keep up mil production. So at the end of the day you need to eat no less than 1700 calories. Then X number for…

Christie, I love the elliptical too but hit a plateau from it after 6 days a week for month. I was using the same muscle they are getting bigger but he rest of my body didn't change. I start doing the elliptical for 10 minutes get off and do 1-2 minutes of jumping jacks, burpees, push ups, jumping rope, running in place.…

I workout to dvd or pre-programed workout on elliptical or treadmill, when the program is done I use the calories burned to put in MFP. If I do a 20 minutes workout dvd and I need more calories burned I will jump on treadmill or elliptical for another 20-30 minutes, my goal is at least 400 a day 5-6 days a week.

Glad I workout at home. Gym always got my son sick in childcare so I cancelled my membership. Yeah for home gym equipment.

Favorite Bars: Luna minis 80 calories - favorite white chocolate mac. nut, South Beach (all chocolate ones are yummy), Zone fudge graham rock. I usually have as a snack or when I'm out and can't get a healthy meal on the road. I used South Beach ones when I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes just the right amount of…

Great Job. Keep up the lifestyle change my friend, it is truly worth it to be health and happy.

Great post. I'me going to have it give it s shot. I just got my treadmill last week. As always you post and tips rock.

Don't lose your motivation. Go to lunch but remember portion control ask for to go box put 1/2 if not more away. Stick to salad or grilled veggies and grilled chicken. I still go to eat with friends on regular bases but I remember to not let it wreck my day. Just don't give up, try to bring your lunch to work it you can at…

That is so my husband. Everyone here is great about encouraging each other to say on track.

That is Awesome.. What did you do differently?

Kelly - great job. Yes, moderation is key. If you completely remove food or make it forbid food, then you are more likely to overeat it and over indulge that if you allow yourself a treat of that yummy cookie, cake, or coffee once a week. I hope upping the weighs and water will do the trick for you Kelly, everyone's body…

If you like to dance TurboJam will get your going and the music is awesome, I find myself singing the song all day. You need cardio to get rid of the outer layer of fat and you need to tighten and strength the core to flatten the muscles out so they don't bugle. I had twins so I've been through the weird belly bugle. All…
