I've been doing JMBR and wearing a heart rate monitor. I havent worn it for the cardio dvd yet but for the others I have. I burn on average 220-240. I am 5'6 135lbs. The best way to know is a heart rate monitor. Before I got one I would just log it as circuit training. That is close to what my hrm says.

I started the 30 day ab challenge but I am not logging it. It doesnt take that long to do it.

I've done both 30DS and Biggest Loser Cardio Max, both are great!! I have also done Ripped in 30, very hard!! I only made it to level 3 on that. Right now I am on week 5 of JM Body Revolution. I am loving it!!!! Body Revolution is a 12 wk program. Well worth the money!! I am a fan of hers, her workouts do work quite well!!!

Oh and if there is a new recipe and they refuse to try it or dont like it I dont fix anything else.... once dinner is served that is it. Eat it or go hungry, there will be no snack 1/2 hr after dinner becuase they refused to eat. They are learning to eat what is served. I will allow lite ranch &/or ketchup to dip if they…

i totally understand and have the same problem!! My kids are 4 & 7yrs old. Both are VERY picky eaters!!! they never used to be when they were babies/toddlers, but as they've gotten older there isnt much they like. They only like 4 vegetables- corn, broccoli, carrots (raw) and green beans. I get tired of eating those same 4…

Yes but that's because I dont want to have heartburn all night!!! Its hard to sleep like that!! So I dont eat later than 7pm.

Mine is underactive. I've been taking Synthroid for it for 8yrs. It has made a great difference!! Mine was found by accident too. Once I was told about it it definitely explained how I had been feeling- tired all the time and gained some weight even though I was watching what I ate and exercising. All this was before I had…

1, How long did you plan? 1 YEAR 2. How much did you spend? (sorry if that's personal) Was this more/less than you planned? ABOUT $11,000 (MARYLAND) 3. How many people were invited/ how many showed up? 225 INVITED ABOUT 175 SHOWED UP 4. What did you give out for favors (if you had them)? CHOCCOLATE AND TEA.... TWO…

Eucerin cream. I've used it for 2 tattoos. Works soo much better than bactricin. Bactricin made the ink bleed a lil and left stains on my clothing. The Eucerin cream that comes in a tub works great.

THIS!!!!! If they are your food stamps dont worry about what she wants.... she needs to worry about what she wants not you. She is obviously not worried about your wants/needs. I have a family member like this, I do get it. Thankfully I dont live w/that person anymore!! Good luck!!! Hopefully you will be able to move soon!!

I have always taken my hour!! I get off work at 4, head to the free gym at work til 5 then go to get my kids. They have to be picked up by 5:30. Then we do the family thing the rest of the night :) It makes mommy a better person to unwind after work before picking the kiddies up.

THIS!! It just makes my day easier if i plan it ahead of time. It can always be changed :)

I would NEVER just leave my son with someone I dont know for a birthday party!!!!! I also would never just show up w/my other son and expect them to feed him as well. I get a babysitter for my child that wasnt invited, and I stay. I dont expect to be feed either. I stay off to side and watch my son.

WOW!!! Very interesting!!!!

I also tell my kids what the veggie does for them ... carrots help you see better and etc. Sometimes I dont really know what it "does" for you so I make it up and they get a real kick out of it. The other day my 3yr old asked me what squash does, I told him if he ate it he could jump higher. When dinner was over he got up…

I have used these recipes, they are very YUMMY!! You cant even tell the veggies are in there. The banana bread w/pureed cauliflower is absolutely delicious!! you dont even taste the cauliflower! I took one day and pureed tons of different veggies, put them in ice cube trays and froze them. Pull out as needed :)

My kids are picky about veggies too but if I make a casserole they are more likely to eat it. It changes the taste of the veggie. I do alot of chicken or ground turkey for the meat. Sometimes for broccoli or cauliflower I will make a cheese sauce for them, totally homemade. It only takes a few minutes and they gobble it…

i use vanilla greek yogurt, not as tangy as the plain. I also prefer Dannon Okios sweeter than Chobani vanilla.

Sorry that happened to you!! But I dont feel alone!! I was diagnosed w/endometriosis after having my tubes done. Flow is now so bad I have to wear tampons & a pad at the same time for the first 2days, cramps are horrendous and I spot all the time.

Thanks, I have thought about that. My periods are horrible!!!

I had mine done when I had my last csection 3 years ago. My cycle has been completely messed up since!!! I have since been diagnosed w/endometriosis (sp?). I NEVER had any females issues what so ever before having it done. Now I have cramps 3 weeks out of the month, spotting ALL the time, severe bloating during ovulation…

I stopped buying the junk. My boys (6yrs & 3yrs) would just want to snack and refuse meals. So i was like fine, no more fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, etc. I buy fruit & veggies for snacks, tons better anyways. My 6yr old still complains he's hungry/starving even after having 2 helpings at dinner, but now I give him an…

that is fuuny!!!! My 6yr has asked the very same question.... I told him god put him there becuase mommy & daddy love each other and wanted a baby. Of course then he wants to know how he got out of my belly. That's where I'm glad I had a csection!! I just told him the dr cut him out. So god put him there, dr cut him out!!!…

When I do get fast foo (its not that often) I get a kids meal, smaller portion and gives me the taste I'm after. I do like the grilled nuggets that ChickFilA now has very yummy!!! Grilled nugget kids meal w/fries & water, its not too bad. I'll just hit the gym a lil harder & longer :) But I'm also in maintenance at this…

Not me!! I'm the mom yelling at her kids... dont go under there, dont touch ANYTHING!!! people must laugh at me!!! lol. oh well, that's life w/a 3yr old & 6 yr old.

Butter!!! tastes better and natural. Margarine just doesnt taste right and there sooo much crap in it!!!! Just modaration w/the butter!

Oh and I love the fact that JMBR dvd's are only 30 min long, all of them. W/ChaLean they go from 27 min to 45 min. I have 2 small kids anything more 30 min is a problem to get the whole thing done. That's the reason I havent done P90X, I dont have time for those dvd's.

I started w/30DS too. I went onto ChaLean Extreme and loved it!!! I'm now doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and love it as well, maybe better than ChaLean X. W/ChaLean you do the same several dvd's for 4 wks then move on to a different set the next 4. But w/JMBR you switch your sets of dvds every 2weeks, no boredom!!!…
