Jillian Michaels Six Week Six Pack. The whole 35 minutes is an ab workout that involves your whole body too! It's fantastic!

There is a book called the New Rules of Lifting for Women, there is also a version for those who are middle aged as well as for men. I`ve just started it and I really like it. You need some weights at home, but other than that you can modify everything to do in the comfort of your own home. It`s worth a read. They have the…

Wow, that's not necessary!

Grilled chicken breast with broccoli and mushrooms in a cream cheese/chicken broth sauce tossed with wholewheat pasta and a big salad with blue cheese and balsamic vinegar.

Circuit training.

I've just started taking protein powder. I got the unflavoured because I don't like all the extra unpronouncable ingredients in the others but it tastes like crap. I find it spoils my smoothie. I just take mine with a third of a cup of milk and guzzle it and then chase it will my yummy smoothie. Created by MyFitnessPal.com…

Just use a piece of string and then use a construction measuring tape to determine how long the string is.

I'd go to the running store and ask for help from the owner.

Add me! You can do this again. It's true, you need people in the same mindset with the same goals. Sometimes you need people to bounce ideas of or to give you suggestions. That's what friends are for (cheezy, I know)

Often what comes along with marriage is children. Somehow both men and women gain baby weight.

You've gotta try Orville Redenbacker Spicy Nacho popcorn. So yummy!

Yummers! Thanks for sharing.

I weight before bed and first thing in the morning. It's usually a 2 pound difference. I like going to sleep knowing either I'm going to have to kick my butt in a workout and eat super clean the next day or know I'm going to wake up to a great number. The most encouraging measurements for me however are my monthly date…

Never!

I started out with the girlie ones. Then I got brave about three months later and decided to give the non girlie ones a try. I shocked the heck out of myself. I can do 20 in a row now. Try a couple and if you have to drop down to your knees again, no biggie. At least you gave it a shot. Just keep your body in a straight…

Last January 171 (profile pic on the left). But got up to 184 when I was pregnant, but that doesn't really count.

LMAO!

Definitely go for the 30 Day Shred option! It's an incredible program!

Thanks! Gonna check out your blog.

I'm 5'4. My before and after is my profile pic. Before (left) is 171 pounds. After (right) is 129 pounds.

Unsalted rice cakes or unsalted rice crackers and hummus.

What an accomplishment! You look terrific and I'm sure you feel fantastic too!

I work out a home with 3 and 5 pound weights. I do the Jillian Michaels dvds. They're 25-35 minutes each and totally doable. My kids know all the moves now. I've lost 42 pounds and haven't been to the gym once (however I do treat myself to some hot yoga here and there.) If it's warm outside, you can do lots at the park,…

I'm 5'4. I weight anywhere between 129 and 127. 129 is my goal but I like a buffer of a couple of pounds so I don't stress about the numbers : ) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I totally hear you. Working out with Jillian Michaels videos in my home with only a set of 3 pound weights needed is what has done it for me. When I can get through a brutal workout and feel stronger and the sense of increible accomplishment, it makes me feel amazing about myself. My confidence has increased dramatically…

Do a level 1 & 2 back to back. You're sure to feel it. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
