Mine is "looks like we made it"...Barry Manilow....LOL...very disappointing....it could have been anyone but Barry Manilow :ohwell:

When I started my journey 6 years ago I stayed motivated. I didn't cheat even one time in 9 months. I hit my goal and went crazy eating again. I kept working out, but did not watch what I ate at all. I discovered my love for cooking and and just ate whatever the heck I wanted. When I made it to a size 12 (originally a 22…

I always work out first thing in the morning. I don't give myself time to think my way out of it. The alarm goes off, I get up put my hair up, put my heart rate monitor and shoes on and get to it. Ortherwise, I would never work out. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I've always heard that as well, but I think everyone is different. Every day I only have about 500 of my 1200 calories by the time I get off work. I end up eating my other 700 between 6 and 7:30 and I'm still losing about 1.5 lbs per week. I just can't make myself eat larger meals during the day. I'm either too busy or…

Great idea! I just discovered the laughing cow cheese and oh my gosh...I love it. Yummo! I hate low fat cheese slices, they all taste like a tire (not that I have ever tasted a tire, but you catch my drift). Laughing cow is a great alternative. You could also try a toasted Thomas Light Multigrain Muffin with one tablespoon…

I have a Polar F6 and it didn't ask me to take a fitness test. Should I be concerned that my readings are inaccurate?:huh:

The HRM is a great investment. I didn't have one until a week and a half ago. Before I was going by the estimates on MFP and come to find out, my HRM says I'm burning twice as much as I thought. I seem to be losing inches much faster now by knowing I'm in the right heart rate zone and knowing I'm eating the right amount of…

I bought my Shred dvd on amazon for 8.99. I've been doing it for about 3 weeks now and have dropped from a 12 to a 10. I combine it with the treadmill or her cardio kickbox. I usually burn around 650 calories in 45 to 50 minutes. Keep doing it...it will work!:flowerforyou:

Good for you! Isn't it exciting!?!? Keep up the great work, you can do it!!

Jillian's 30 day shred is awesome. I do it almost every day, along with her cardio kickbox or the treadmill, and I am really starting to see a difference. It won't be too long before I have to buy new pants! Can't wait....:smile:

His smile...IMO, he has the most infectious smile I have ever seen. :smooched: :heart:

Without a doubt....Steel Magnolias...I have seen that movie about 15 times and still cry everytime... Cast Away is a close second

I'm a coffee fanatic myself....I drink at least an entire pot every day plus my sugar free red bull before a workout. It hasn't hindered my weight loss at all. I have lost 14 lbs in 5 weeks and haven't cut down on the caffeine one little bit. I just don't use creamer now.] Have a good day...:happy:

Thanks guys...I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

I stepped on the scale this morning only to find that I have lost 5 lbs this week!:drinker: Woo Hoo!!!! Only 12 lbs to go!:bigsmile:

Thanks! :happy:

Is it estimating 200 to 600 too much or too little? I'm trying to eat my exercise calories, but would like to make sure I'm not eating too many until I'm able to get the HRM.

I just got this DVD 2 days ago. I would recommend this one to anyone! I love it! I did levels 1 and 2 yesterday and can hardly move today. It's been a long, long time since a workout has made me sore. Get this DVD ladies! It's cheap and soooo effective.

We just watched Untraceable and There Will Be Blood.....both of them were very good.

lol....well, he probably doesn't have anything to say that you haven't already heard. :wink:

When you get a little frustrated when you get pulled away to do work you actually receive a paycheck for....I'm seriously out of control and need help!

I was just thinking I needed some new music....I'm taking your list here and hitting the ole itunes store tonight!

Linkin Park, Linkin Park and Linkin Park (fav band obviously) Korn, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Stone Temple Pilots and System of a Down (angry music is very good get off your *kitten* and get movin music)

I couldn't agree with you more! I love this place. It has helped get me back on track and moving in the right direction. Have a great Friday everyone!

I know I added to it and I am so so so so sorry....:blushing: Will not happen again.

That's what melts my heart. There is absolutely nothing better in the world!

I'm 6' and 182...30 years old and fitness level is probably about a 6 on a scale from 1 to 10. Now I'm really concerned that I'm not getting the full benefit from my workouts.

I read today that if you go over your target heart rate, you are not burning fat. Has anyone ever heard this before? It doesn't make sense to me, if you have insight, please explain. I'm always at about 185 - 190 bpm when I'm on the treadmill. My target is only 130 - 145, so I've been told. My resting is always around 85 -…

I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes to bed feeling like a bad mom...Only one for me, 20 months old and has been in the terrible two's phase for about 3 months. Sometimes I think she is the most unhappy child on earth. If I'm not carrying her 27 lb butt all over the house, she's whining....ugh...so frustrating

Wow...share your secrets...please! I know I could cut my bill down. Mine includes household items as well, laundry detergent, shampoo, cleaning supplies,etc. I would be absolutely ecstatic to get under $500
