I have been very very very bad since I got back from Florida in August. Gained back on the weight that I lost. :o( Starting tomorrow I am back on track. I did do a little bit of cardio and abs tonight to get me motivated, which helped. My goals are to lose the 10 pound I gained back, and tone up my abs, back and arms. I…

I really like the 30 day shred. I am dripping sweat when I am done and I feel a difference. I like hip hop abs and cardio max as well... cardio max makes me sweat too. hip hops abs is really helping with my abs.. so i would rate them 30 day shred cardio max hip hops abs i like variety, can you tell?

Yup. There is a second DVD set in the series.

I just got Hip Hop Abs Level 2, Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and The Biggest Loser Cardio Max and OMG. Man did I sweat... it was really intense and I love it! Just thought I would share.

I use the lean shakes from gnc (they are yuuuummy!) and I use slimfast high protein. A couple of the girls i work with use whey protein and they say they taste like chocolate milk.

1g saturated and 1g trans.

Does anyone jump rope as part of their exercise routine? If so, do you find it effective?

I found Betty Crocker Muffin mix at Walmart yesterday. 88 cents a bag. I purchased triple berry and blue berry... each have 120 calories, 12 carbs, 2g fat and 1g of protein. I actually made some of the triple berry last night and had half a muffin with my toast and slimfast this morning!

Same here.

This is a really big help!

Could someone give me some examples of what they eat everyday for a 1200 calorie meal plan?

What a crappy week! I've been tired after work and haven't wanted to do anything... my exercise was very lackluster two nights in a row! Today at work we had a luncheon for one of the therapist because it was her last day... and I brought my lunch so that I would "behave" and ended up having a huge cheat day. Now I just…

Thanks everyone... I'm doing my biweekly grocery shopping tomorrow and needed some ideas!

I am having trouble cutting back on my carbs.. I always manage to go over them. Any suggestions on low carb snacks or meals? I picked up some whole wheat pita bread, which I like alot!!!!

I have Turbo Jam Fat Blaster and Turbo Sculpt. I do Fat Blaster everyday and have seen wonderful results! I usually combine it with one of the Hip Hop Abs workouts!

This week has been one of the worst weeks at work for me... and by the end of the day yesterday I was really upset and just tired. I went grocery shopping with my mom to pick up a few things... got home and went to exercise and just wasn't feeling it at all. But I stepped on the scale today just to see my progress (i…

I was definitely surprised at the difference in calorie burn... but for all the sweating I do, I'm not surprised. I was very happy with my lean shake purchase... I mixed up just a little bit before i went tanning tonight ( 2 scoops with 8oz of very cold water) and YUMMY! I love it. I usually drink slimfast high protein…

I LOVE that game. If my computer wasn't a piece of crap I would have it. Sims 2 I think is so much better than the first... you can build a family, and have the children start as babies, toddlers, young child, etc. And when you create the family, the kids actually resemble their parents. The female sims can get pregnant…

Soo I was very excited today that I got my HRM in the mail! I used it during my 60 minute aerobics and it says I burned 702 calories during a class 4 exercise (which I think very high impact aerobics is)... which is about 200 some more than I thought I was burning... i certainly hope it's right, because it got me really…

Well I leave for vacation to Charlotte, North Carolina and Tampa, Florida a week from Monday.. (I leave August 7th. Started at: 142 Current weight: 138 I would like to lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week to bring me to 130. I want to drink more water, eat more veggies and work out for at least 1 hr per day (30 in the morning, 30…

One of the major things I am working on losing is my back fat. and the chub around my hips... anybody know any good exercises for this? I'm doing two different types of aerbics, treadmill, elliptical, strength training and a little bit of boxing, and using my neoprene waist belt... thought maybe there was something else!…

I bought a used elliptical, a neoprene waist band, the Hip Hop Abs 4 in 1 DVD, my HRM is on it's way..... And a lot of different foods... (I've really changed my eating, which I impressed myself with).. multi vitamins.. I still need to get some new sports bras and I want to try some of the shakes they have at GNC... oh,…

1) Eat mooooore veggies... i really like green beans, and I bought a whole bunch today. 2) Increase my exercise to one hour per day, and work my abs more. I leave for vacation a month from Monday... so it's time to push myself even more!

wow, thanks everyone!!!

Anyone have any healthy, but filling snack suggestions? I would like to start making shakes too... any suggestions?

I was getting very discouraged, because I wasn't seeing any results. When I got up this morning... I stepped on the scale and I've lost three pounds!!! And looking at myself I can see the difference in my back and abs... so I am more motivated now than ever!! Congrats and a big WOO HOO to everyone else as well!!!…

Hi, I am Rachel, and a new member to this! I find it really helpful to track my food and my exercising. I am basically trying to tone up, and lose some "love handles" and flab... I am going on my first vacation in August (to Florida and North Carolina) and am hoping to look bathing suit ready, and just maintain a healthy…
