I felt the same way when I was doing Pilates. it seemed like so much work for so little reward, but it helped me lose weight and tone my body like nothing else could. I am currently on L2D1 of 30DS and have been seeing great results. If it werent for the results, I would get frustrated with how little calories it burns.

Yes, but cleaning will not give you the same end result as 30DS will. give it time, and add something else into your day for more calorie burning. Go for a walk or a jog. Do some extra jumping jacks or buy yourself a jump rope (they have them for under $10 on amazon.com). If you have machines at home, use them.

Photography is my main hobby. i've never been to school for it, and dont really plan to. its just something I do and study in my free time. My other hobbies are painting, writing, and making a feeble attempt to sew.

I look at my mother in law and how she used to be skinny at my age, and then I look at her now, and I think, i dont want to look like that. definitely motivation to be a MILF on into my 50's. people can come on here and give you grief for this post, but everyone does it. We all compare ourselves to others.

thanks for all the great suggestions! I guess this is something I am going to have to feel my way through until I get it exactly right. The right combination of food to get me through the morning. Its not that I am not hungry... I am very hungry when I wake up! Its just for some reason my stomach doesnt want anything too…

i always eat apples and peanut butter after my workout :smile:

looks like they are trying to ride it... hope it grows wheels and they can ride it like a skateboard.

fresh foods are the best. Eat as clean as possible (no processed, boxed, or canned stuff) and you will be good. I know that is hard for people who are busy. If you cannot eat completely fresh, make sure you check the Nutrition Facts on your boxed/canned goods.

one of the top reasons why I use an ad blocker..... Ad Block Plus for Mozilla Firefox is AWESOME. Kiss it, tempting ads!

Glade commercials. specifically the woman in them. Pediasure, with the obnoxious picky children. And any stereotypical commercial... for example, the bumbling idiot of a husband who is always spilling things on his clothes while the woman just rolls her eyes and shakes her head and cleans up after him with whatever product…

My advice? your husband is a ****. There was no reason for that at all.

i try to keep in mind that its just a number. High or low, it doesnt matter as long as I am feeling good about myself.

we are making this one tonight! Low cal and mighty tasty! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pork-Tenderloin-with-Creamy-Dijon-Sauce/Detail.aspx

i've mixed in broccoli with strawberries before. was pretty good. :)

bicycle crunch!

I go over mine more often than I do not. I just keep an eye on calories, carbs, fat and sodium.

because that is what people want to do, and if it is working for them, why question it? Sometimes I eat my calories, sometimes I am too full to. Either way, I am losing weight in a healthy manner.

I drink Coke Zero when I want a treat... something other than water. I dont like tea or coffee, so coke it is for me. I say go for it, but not in excess.

I always cook mine in the skillet and they turn out great. I found this recipe that works for me: http://www.calorieking.com/recipes/Chicken-Turkey-Fowl-and-Egg/Chicken-Turkey-Fowl-Dishes/All-American-Turkey-Burgers_Y2lkPTUmc2lkPTE5JnJpZD03MTY.html

i am already seeing results and I am only on Day 4!

TOM means "time of the month". TOM is not an actual person named Tom. Took me forever to figure this out. :wink:

Our dog's name is Luna. I call her many things.... Luna Loo, Lunatic, Loodles, Roo Roo, pupper, and many other names that are probably embarrassing to her.

I was on Celexa and Wellbutrin for depression for about a year. I put on a little weight... about 5 lbs... so nothing insane. All my weight piled on after I stopped the meds and began looking to food for my comfort.

I second this one! very relaxing.

you need hand weights and a mat if you are doing your workout on a hard surface. :) I did Day 1, Level one today and thought I was going to die about 2/3 the way through. LOL. but its like when you are just about to fall over, its cool-down time. I think it is the perfect amount and intensity of exercise. I was literally…

thanks everyone! I dont have almonds, but I do have peanuts. I'll try those. :)

then I think perhaps you should try a second opinion. its a shame some doctors arent helpful, but there are a lot out there that are. I've dealt with the medical industry my whole life. I have two children, and sometimes in order to get their test results back, I will have to call the doctor or hospital and ask for it. You…

Perhaps you should consult a nutritionist. Do you suffer from any eating disorders?

I am the same way. Its the main reason I dont join a gym... i dont like people watching me. That includes the kids and husband.

i chose my weight based on what I used to weigh before I picked up 20 pounds in 6 months. :wink:
