  • I never thought about adding carrots - does that blend smooth in a regular blender? I may have to try that tomorrow - I always have carrots in the fridge!
  • I like adding yogurt - it makes it a little creamier. I'm going to try the Kale - thanks for the tips!
  • The only thing that will tighten and tone is strength training - either lifting or circuit training. I don't know much about Insanity, but I did the 30 DS all the way through and I lost several inches and was definitely more toned. I like 30 DS because it starts at a beginner level and progresses as you get more fit. You…
  • A multivitamin works for me. .I don't know about the metabolism part, but I know I feel better when I remember to take it in the morning!
  • well my weigh in day was supposed to be friday - which I did weigh in, but the scale stayed the same :( I knew I wouldn't have much of a loss this week, I haven't been getting in nearly enough exercise and I had been over my calories a few times. I just started a new teaching job and I was busy all last week getting my…
  • I babysat a few kids two years ago, it can be tough to find that time for exercise, the kids I had - including my own all took an afternoon nap at the same time and I could squeeze in a quick 30-45 minute workout and a quick shower so I didn't have to be sweaty all afternoon. I also had a double stroller for the days when…
  • I would try toast with a little peanut butter. A favorite of mine for after a workout, I would think a glass of milk on your already queasy stomach might not set so well. A few times this summer I went out for a lengthy walk in the 90+ degree heat and felt really sick afterward, Gatorade helped me get over the sick…
  • I have been busy so I haven't been able to check in for a few days, but I did in on Friday with a loss of .8 lbs!! AUG SW: 215 CW: 213.2 AUG GOAL: 208 Getting closer!!! I have been keeping up with my water intake and I exercised 6 out of 7 days last week!! Good Luck everyone!!!!!!
  • Well I was a bad girl and skipped my friday jumping jacks, I did my 75 for Saturday though. I will try to get in the 100 for today in a little bit!!!
  • So we are at the end of the 11th day of August (well for some of us!) and so far I have met my personal goals every day except 1 - so YAY ME!!! And Yay to all of you who are sticking with your goals I start my new job this week, and I am going to be crazy busy getting everything ready and in order (I'm a teacher) and I…
  • sat in an all day long orientation today, but I did my 50 when I got home! My body was ready to move, I don't like being stuck in a chair! Another day of orientation tomorrow, but I will get my 75 in!
  • I grew up close to Rochester - or "The City" as many of my relatives still call it! My family moved when I was in middle school and we now live in Illinois. We get back to visit at least every other year or so, very nice area!
  • double post sorry!
  • day 3 check :happy:
  • I try to get in some form of exercise every day, but usually one day a week I keep it light like only a 30 minute walk or play the wii fit or something easy, just enough to keep my body moving and still feel like a rest day for my muscles. As long as you stick to your calorie/nutrition goals and keep your body moving as…
  • Prenatals are perfectly safe for everyone - like others mentioned the only difference is increased folic acid and iron. My doc also mentioned to me years ago, before I had kids, that all women of childbearing age should be on a daily prenatal. Most young women lack folic acid and iron in their diets and prenatals are good…
  • Day 2 Check! I did a 45 minute walk, followed by the 25 jacks, followed by 45 minutes on stationary bike - my legs are a little like jello right now!!
  • sounds good!! Gotta get some stove top!
  • Fruit - whatever looks good, usually strawberries, apples, bananas Sugar Snap Peas Baby Carrots Peppers Frozen Veggie Blends Ground White Turkey or Extra Lean Beef Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Salsa Onion Garlic Fiber One Bars Quaker Oatmeal Quaker Cereal Cereal for the Kids Snacks for the Kids Laughing Cow Cheese…
  • Today I am definitely back on track after a not so good weekend, I already have 7 out of 10 cups of water in today, 45 minutes on stationary bike, 25 jumping jacks (thanks mandi for the challenge) and 80 sit ups/crunches on my body ball!! Hoping for another good weigh in on Friday even though I was kinda bad over the…
  • 25 done!! :happy:
  • This happens to me all the time too!!! I wish I was able to work out at a gym and didn't have to resort to using my kids playroom as a gym!! I think my 6 year old has figured out that I get grumpy if he interupts me while I'm exercising, but the 2 year old hasn't figured that out yet!!
  • I am in my second year of grad school working on a Masters in Education for a reading specialist. I have two children, teach full time during the day (well during the school year) and have been taking classes two to three nights a week for the past year. This fall I will still be teaching full time during the day and…
  • Weekends are so hard for me, I over ate a lot this weekend, but I did get my water in and I upped my exercise to try and combat the extra calories so hopefully it all works out!!
  • I'm in - I think this would give a nice boost to what I already do!!
  • Born this way (Lady Gaga) E.T. (Katy Perry/Kanye) Rolling in the Deep (Adele) Blow (Ke$ha) Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO) These are my top five right now, but I love pretty much anything by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
  • Friday is my weigh in and I am happy happy happy to report that I am down 1.4 lbs this morning!! This week's dedication has paid off, only 6 more lbs to go to meet my August Goal!! Hopefully the day will go well, still planning on getting in my 10 cups of water and at least 30 minutes of exercise, but I am so motivated…
  • Sounds like everyone is loving their ZUMBA DVDs and don't want to part with them!! This is a great idea though, I only have 30DS and Biggest Loser Bootcamp, both of which I still use from time to time even after completing them - I love that they are both pretty quick and I can fit them in when I'm short on time. Have you…
