As an update - I love jump rope but can’t do it indoors due to low ceiling or outside due to bad weather (Chicago!!). I can’t fit an exercise machine in my place either. I already have exercise tools that take up a bunch of space. However, I have just discovered there a rope less jump ropes! I’m definitely getting one 😊…

Thanks so much!! :)

Bahahahahhaha!!! I would totally take that route if I was married 😆

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely check her out :)

Thank you!!

I actually do when the weather is doable. I love in Chicago so right now we get a low of snow and wind. I walk from train everyday. I just wanted something to raise my heat rate for about 20-30 minutes.

I do resistance training three times a week and need to do cardio twice a week. I used to dance to the fitness Marshall on YouTube - which is what I have remembered yesterday and ended up doing it this morning 😁 I just didn’t want to lose my stamina with jump rope in winter.

Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll definitely look into them :) I can’t jump rope at home because I live in a condo. Ceiling is too low - I already tried! 😆

Thank you SO much for posting about this. I've been thinking about doing it, but I was a bit hesitant. I'm so glad I found you feedback. I'm definitely giving this a shot!

You look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your success! :)

Incredible success! Congratulations!

That's an awesome LOL for the morning! Thank you! :)

Congratulations on your success! That's quite an achievement! I have a lot of weight to lose. But one my inspirations and goals is attending and completing Tough Mudder (hopefully by next year!). You have absolutely gave me some serious motivation!!! Thank you :)

I workout with kettlebells and I absolutely love it! On top of that I do Callanetics (a lot like Pilates but it uses your own body weight), Power Yoga & Just Dance 2014. New workout video by Beachbody Piyo has gotten my interest. But it doesn't come out until June. I own Turbo Jam from Beachbody already but it seems to be…

SELF magazine came out with their Spring 2014 Special - Healthy Eating Made Easy issue. It's $11 but it has fantastic healthy recipes as well as really great weight loss tips. I bought a copy for myself as well as recommended it to my other MFP pals. Worth a look!

Thank you jbart1055! SephiraRose, that's an awesome goal! I actually wanted to be a pilot when I was younger. But things didn't work out at the time. Obtaining a pilot's license is still on my bucket list though :)

A lifetime ago when I was at a healthy weight I used to go snowboarding and skydiving. I miss extreme sports and they're some of the reasons I want to get healthy again. I miss the adrenaline and fearlessness. However, during my thinner years I was always a tomboy. I would never wear a dress unless I was going to a…

Food scale is a worthy investment! It will give you pleasant surprises and not so pleasant LOL! But, it's the reason I finally started to lose weight. The scale I got is by Ozeri and I got it on Amazon for about $18. It does its job well :)

Thank you for the warm welcome! I hope to get to know all of you :)

Hello Hello! I would first like to thank you for inviting me to the group, and thank ActionAnnieGO for recommending me! Yay! I feel awesome and loved :) My name is Maggie and I've been an MFP user for a few years now, but have gotten serious about my health last fall. I was born in Poland and have moved to the U.S.A. at…

I've been logging for 115 days straight so far and I have an open diary. Feel free to add me :)

Hi! I still have over a 100 lbs. to lose. I do log in and record my exercise and food intake daily. I love growing my support team, and I love being on others team as well. Feel free to add me :)

I did this diet over a decade ago. Trust me when I tell you that you will not lose fat. You will only lose water. Which means you'll gain it all back. This diet is used in some hospitals on super obese patients so that they can drop weight quickly in time for whatever surgery they need. I made the mistake of sticking to…

That's sounds actually like a really good idea. I think I'll be considering that. Thanks! :)

Lifting while at calorie deficit will burn the fat around the muscles. That's how you get that toned look.

Congratulations on your progress! You look great!
