I'm a music major, so I am singer and piano player. I also play the ukulele. I am a photographer too. Jack of all trades, here. =P

Is it the Danskin video? I would like to know too.

Wow, remove the corn cob from deep within your colon. Everyone here is looking to better themselves.

I want to try this after I'm done with my current workout, but what size weights would you all recommend?

I'm between an hourglass and a triangle as well. My shoulders are 2.2 inches smaller than my hips and my waist and hips are 11 inches apart. I have quite the booty.

I just got out of a 2 month plateau and that makes me feel tons better. Wow! Her transformation is amazing.

I'm not a mom, but I know that a lot of people are doing Insanity or Jillians 30 Day Shred indoors. That might be a good option. =]

Engaged. =] Getting fit for my wedding and my new life with my wonderful fiance.

Insanity!

I have 2 so far. I have a treble and bass clef heart on my left shoulder. I'm a music major, so you can see why. =] I also have the words "Serenity. Courage. Wisdom." and some footprints on my right foot as a reminder of the Serenity Prayer. God, grant me the Serenity To accept the thing I cannot change The Courage to…

I heard one person is rewarding herself by making weight loss beads and putting them on a bracelet. Each one is 10 pounds. I took the idea from her and I'm running with it. =] I also reward myself with workout clothes sometimes.

It's good to keep your heart rate at a target that will burn fat, but it's bad to let it get too high because you could harm yourself. Depending on your age and weight etc, there is a healthy and optimal heart rate that you should aim for when exercising. For me, going over 180 or so is just bad. My target is between 165…

I don't eat before I work out, or I will actually vomit. I am doing INSANITY, though, so that might make a difference.

They make me laugh so hard, but yes, it is disgusting.

My friends worry too, and they tease me. They call me anti-social. But the truth is, none of them are in serious relationships like mine, and I take what they say with a grain of salt. My relationship is important to me, and they understand.

I'm 3 weeks in. I love it so far!

I've been in a LDR for over 4 1/2 years, and I don't go out a lot. But, to put it simply, I'd rather be boring and skypeing with my love than out partying and having fun without him. I have time to do that when he gets here. =]

I'm also engaged, but my wedding date is a little less than 2 years away. I'm almost halfway done!

I agree. Keep pushing! Also, I would buy a heart rate monitor. It's not good to get your heart rate up too much!

Get some more supportive friends! =]

I have the same problem. The smaller I get, the smaller they get. My fiance loves them, incidentally. Someone is going to love your body no matter what, and you should too. =]

I'm not afraid. I'm ready to kick Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas booty!

My knees and ankles click often, but I don't have much pain. I suppose I should get that checked out eventually.

I'm also 21 and in college. I still have about 56 pounds to lose.

Broccoli and sugar snap peas! Can't get enough

Welcome! You can DEFINITELY lose 30 pounds by April. I've lost 47 since March! Good luck!

Welcome and good luck! You can do it!

I'm an ally too! I will join when those groups come around. =]

Vanilla Silk is wonderful!
