torizia- I didn't mean that Rockin' Body was the hardest out Shaun T videos. Obviously, Insanity and some of his other ones are way harder. I was simply putting the videos in order that Kelly2013 mentioned that she owns.

I read that the order of difficulty is Hip Hop Abs, Hip Hop Abs 2, and then Rockin' Body. So, I'm going to start with Hip Hop Abs.

August goals: Let's see... 1) Stop using extra free time due to summer vacation to EAT more. Need to use that time for exercising more. If I'm not making any money (paid hourly during actual school days- no vacations, snow days, etc) , I shouldn't add to the stress by eating more. ugh. I basically wasted what could have…

Mine just arrived today, along with the Hip Hop Abs 2 set, and the Rockin' Body DVD's. They look like a lot of fun. Can't wait to try them. Should be interesting to see how we all do. :)

These sound fantastic!! Definitely going to try with chocolate protein powder and banana.

I like the Frodo suggestion. :)

The Marathon Bar (it was a chocolate covered caramel candy bar that looked braided or like chain links). Those were the best, miss them. Orange flavored Live Wire Mountain Dew. If it is still made, I haven't seen it in my part of the country in years. :( Carnation Chocolate Chip breakfast bars (not the kind they have now-…

You look absolutely great!!!! What an inspiration. I need to lose 100 pounds also and it is great to see that you have done that. Makes it seem within reach. :)

I love scrambled eggs with a side of vegetables. My favorite is artichoke hearts, but I also do asparagus, green beans, or whatever veggie is handy. Throw in another side of fruit like strawberries and blueberries.... Yum!!! I'm not real big on veggies in my eggs, which is why I have them on the side. However, I do like…

Hi Gigi, My name is Diana. I am married, 44 years old, mom to two boys (15 and 4) and overweight. I need to lose 100 pounds total and have managed to ditch 32 of them in the past 4 months. I too am not thrilled with my upper arms, and my belly and my boobs continue to have a contest as to who will stick out further. They…

Hey Jodi :) So, since June 30th, you have netted...986...1157...1029... negative 408...1343( not 343) ...1275 ( not 275)...2009...517...and 650. You have been way under everyday if you are shooting for 1800. Even with the extra 209 calories on your one high day, it doesn't bring you close to an overall amount (especially…

Schnicklefrit (what's your real name, by the way? Sorry) If I click on the link, it only brings me to my own report, not yours. However, by looking at my report, I noticed something interesting. I have changed my calorie goals a few times, If I look back in time and try to see how much I netted on a particular day, it is…

So, Sue, when do you get to move into your new apartment? You'll be burning quite a few calories cleaning, packing, lugging boxes etc. Very exciting. Congrats on getting your first choice. New apartment, new eating plans/exercise, new body...lots of great news. :)

Schnicklefrit- Are you eating back any of your exercise calories? It seems like you burn large amounts (over a thousand or more) but still stay at your original calorie goal. If you eat 1800 and work off 1300, it is like only eating 500 calories that day. They say you really shouldn't go below "net 1200", even higher if…

I finally am in Onederland. Hopefully as a resident, not a visitor!!!! I now weigh exactly 198 pounds. Yee ha!!

Lemurcat- You're definitely right about the calories balancing out over time. I should have just let myself eat more the next day. I probably would have enjoyed those calories more too.

Hi. :) Culo- Saw your pictures. Devil's Slide is way more scenic than my regular walks on our bike path. So jealous. I think I'm going to have to hunt around for some new sights. Thanks everyone for the advice regarding eating when not hungry. I actually have a pretty good gauge for when I am full or not and I have never…

Stir fry it with a bunch of veggies and some teriyaki? That will have a lot of sodium, but if that is not a concern, then that could be yummy.

Can't help you with that one Sue. Right now I am debating my "whole pizza to make up calories" idea. I've eaten half...it's about the size of a personal pizza..and honestly, I don't really want any more. I'm almost force feeding at this point which can't be good. But, not eating the whole thing leaves me short. grrr Later-…

I like green beans with tomato sauce and some "sprinkle cheese" (as my kids call grated cheese). Toss in some pieces of chicken (cut small or even shredded) and it's my idea of Chicken Cacciatore without the pasta.

For me, my belly was always past my boobs. Finally, I lost enough weight for my boobs to be past my belly. Yeah! ....but wait...then I lost more weight, and my boobs shrank and my belly is now past my boobs again. So basically, I look just as fat as before but on a smaller scale. Uuuughhh!!!

Culo- You mentioned riding a bike. That sounds fun. I should consider getting myself on a bike, get some fresh air, wind on my face, pretty trees, yup...sounds great. Schnicklefrit- Don't feel bad. Took me a minute to understand what someone meant when I read Onederland for the first time. All I could think of was Alice in…

My goal for July is to continue doing Zumba 2 to 3 days a week, bowl league once a week, continue tweaking my calorie intake (been slowly upping it), and work in a walk one or two days a week. I had eliminated my walks (5 days a week, 2 miles (with one mile completely uphill), but would now like to fit some walking back…

Well, I had upped my calories another 50 per day this week, just to see what would happen. I didn't change my exercise...kept it at 3 Zumba classes and 1 bowling league per week). Seems to still be working for me. I lost another pound. So far, I have either lost weight each week or maintained. I haven't gained yet. I…

When I think of how long my journey is ( need to lose 100 pounds total), it can be aggravating. I feel like it is going to take "forever". Then, I remind myself that " forever" (be it a year or two or more) is still going to go by whether I try to lose weight or not. What shape do I want to be in when that time inevitably…

Yup. Just happened to me. I apparently was overdoing it on exercise. I was eating 1550 calories a day and eating back exercise calories (I'm 5' 4" and over 200 pounds). I was doing 3 one hour Zumba classes a week, bowling one night a week, and walking 2 miles a day (the first mile completely uphill while pushing a stroller…

Your list sums everything up perfectly!!

Could not believe the calories in the Stop and Shop Confetti cake (chocolate chip blondie brownie base with vanilla pudding/whipped cream/and funfetti cake) It was a small bar cake. Apparently the cake is meant to be divided into 36 pieces! I had 1/12 of the cake...a VERY skinny slice. It turned out to be 1800 calories…
