I totally understand where you are - my husband is in the Army Reserve and I'm a SAHM to two kids, 3 and 2 years old. My husband missed my son's birth because he was deployed to Iraq and my son came early :( I know how stressful it is, especially with the little ones. We're here for you!!! Feel free to friend me, I'm also…

I also agree with you that the marketing claims are so frustrating, and I've been doing so much more research about what's in my food - very eye opening! As for Truvia, I use it and have not had any side effects, but I'm switching to the liquid stevia anyway. I just ordered Sweet Leaf liquid stevia from Amazon. I got the…

I second ChaLean Extreme! I also only do her weight days and sub my own cardio and yoga, but her lifting workouts are great and you can start with what you can handle and work up from there. Even though this program also has a fit test, I wouldn't worry too much about what you can do now, as the focus is on building up…

Glad to see everyone here!! I'm starting week 2 of Burn today. Last week was good, but I didn't have heavy enough weights. My husband surprised me by ordering the SelectTechs for me, they should be here today!! Yay!! Can't wait to try it with some heavier resistance, I really want to see some progress before the Marine…

Congratulations!! That is fantastic and so inspiring!!

I also use the fat free Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. My absolute favorite is to add hot cocoa mix to it - it's so delicious! I also use it for smoothies and sometimes I mix it with pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. Oh, and black beans, salsa, a bit of Greek yogurt and goat cheese all mixed together is one of my…

Mine are only 2 and 3 so we're doing preschool - usually a theme a week and we read books, do a "field trip" or other activities related to the theme. This week was sea life and went to the aquarium! Glad to see so many other homeschool families on here!

Isn't it great!?!!! I just started a couple of weeks ago and I'm addicted! I was never big on exercise, just did it because I should, but now I look forward to Zumba all the time! And man does it burn calories!

CLX Burn Circuit 2 Zumba Cardio Party <-- was a little low on the energy level for this today though :(
-
They look fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Definitely a huge difference!! Especially in your face, neck and shoulders. You look fantastic!! Keep up the great work and don't let unsupportive people get you down. You are doing a great thing for yourself and even if you don't see it yourself right now, keep going and soon you will. :)

:noway: Some people's ignorance is just mind boggling.

I've been reading the guidebooks and watching the basics dvd and I'm so excited to start this! I still have to find some weights this weekend, but I may just start with the bands. I'm not sure how much of an investment I'm ready to put into this just yet. But it looks like a great program and I'm hoping to see some results…

I recently switched to using whole wheat naan as the crust for my pizza and then I can make one for the kids with what they like on it and one for me and hubby. For ours I use different things all the time, last week was pesto, feta and sliced tomatoes and mushrooms. Another favorite is goat cheese and caramelized onions.…

Hi! I'm 38 and have a 3 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I really want to reach my goal weight by my 40th, and make sure my kids grow up healthy (with a mom who can keep up with them!) Sending you a friend request!
-
I just got CLX and plan on starting Aug 1st - need to see about some weights first. Would love to join in with you all for support and advice!

I joined the Y because they have childcare, but I don't get there as much as I'd like. At home I workout while my 2 year old naps in the afternoon. My 3 year old likes to work out with me, we do Zumba and yoga almost every day! My 2 year old likes to join in too if he's up, but he's usually hanging off me or crawling under…

Going to get a donut pan now!!

This! I never liked drinking water, but once I started adding cucumber slices to it I just can't get enough!! It's so refreshing and tastes great!
-
I will eat mindfully, forgive myself, and enjoy my zumba and yoga! And I have to agree, your goals and progress are fantastic and so inspiring!
-
I love practicing yoga - I do my morning yoga every day and it helps me get the day started on the right foot. This past week I started the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga dvd and Bob is kicking my butt!! I feel so great after it though, it's a real workout and I feel strong and energized all day!
-
I'm in!! 200 has been a wall for me for so long - I've gotten close 3 times, even dipped below this spring, but every time I stall out and regain again :mad: A group like this is just what I need - I love cheering others along, especially when we're working toward the same thing!
-
40 minutes of Zumba sculpt and tone and the Biggest Loser Weight Loss yoga dvd! I feel great!! :glasses:
-
Congratulations on making the choice to live a healthier life and DOING it!! You look amazing and I'm sure you feel amazing too!!! You are such an inspiration because I have 100 lbs to lose too and it can be so hard, so thank you for sharing your story! And I agree, you are rocking that yellow dress!! :smokin:

I don't think counting calories is necessarily outdated, it's just not the whole picture. You can eat 1200 calories worth of brownies and ice cream, and you may even lose weight, but you're body isn't going to love you for it - so what you eat definitely plays a part in being healthy and losing weight. My food diary is…

I never tried their products, but I just looked at the nutritional info on their website and there is no nutritional value to any of their products. The odd thing is, the ingredients list on almost every product is exactly the same, they just use different seasonings or "natural flavors." I would rather make my own too.

I have the first set and it has been worth every penny! It's so much fun and I definitely burn a ton of calories. I'm definitely getting the second set as well to mix it up after I wear these dvds out. I'm glad I got the dvds first to learn it but I can't wait to take a class because it's so much fun!

Welcome and congratulations on making a great choice for yourself! I sent you a friend request!

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing, so beautiful!

Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - John Watson. I just wanted to share that because we cannot know what things other people are dealing with and therefore it is unfair to make such a blanket judgement. And personally, I wish I had started watching my calories and using a site like this when I only had…
