Cool just what I was looking for. I got into fitness like 8 years ago and lost a decent amount of weight, used to look like my profile pic a few months after my first baby but I just had my second a little over a month ago by repeat c section and this time I gained a little over 40lb instead of the perfect 25 I gained with…

Wow you guys are scaring me. I'm supposed to get my DVD set today, if so I'll start tomorrow. I have done a lot of Jillian Michaels including body revolution, as well as Insanity, Turbofire, p90x, Brazilian butt lift and T25. T25 wasn't as challenging as I'd hoped and as a busy mom now I am really trying to stick to 30 min…

Let's see I've done the vast majority of Jillian's workouts 30 day shred - my first DVD other than Pilates on my path to fitness. 3 levels, 25 minutes each and challenging. Probably easier after finishing body revolution. Banish fat boost metabolism - a tough 50 minute cardio/strength like an easier version of the cardio…

I'm finishing up phase 3! It's a great program! I have been doing Jillian Michaels for years so the first phase was basic for me but she really ramped it up in phase 2 and phase 3 is OMG????????????. Love it. Love Jillian. Need to figure out what program to do next though. The 30 minutes really works for my busy schedule.…

I'm a newly single mom with a demanding career and a 2 year old just diagnosed with autism. I know busy and could use more mommy support. I lost all my baby weight and then some but gained about 5 unwanted pounds during the divorce and autism diagnosis stuff. Working out regularly again and trying to beat the stress eating.

FAT is SOOOOO light inch for inch compared with muscle, which is SOOO dense. You'd be surprised. It's very common to have a normal BMI and be overfat. I see a lot of people naked and I see how much they weight when I look at their charts and am often surprised they are so light. Lots of people that look way chunkier than…

OP, it's hard to explain yourself so it's easy to come off batty but I know what you mean. Building muscle is the answer. You need to eat close to maintenance and work those muscles! if you don't have much experience order Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and No More Trouble Zones. I was "curvy" and she got me in great shape…

Erm, is it too late to come on here and talk about the workouts? I have never followed any BB diet so I don't know how good they are but on the surface seem not too bad and maybe helpful for some. Anything that helps people eat less in a balanced way is cool with me. To me the important thing is the workouts. And I'm busy…

Hi, I was on the thread a in part 10 a while back and disappeared because my son went through a language regression and got diagnosed with autism. I have been dealing with getting him diagnosed and treated. Couple that with a fresh divorce and still living with my cheating ex who continues to screw everything with a skirt…

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm kind of a hater. I was a fat kid during middle school then it went away after puberty. Afterwards I was "curvy" but never technically overweight as an adult, then I started getting increasingly into fitness and for years now my normal weight has been 10 lbs or so lighter with a lot of muscle and…

kclynch - Big hug, I know that feeling of frustration you have! But if you chose the "eat everything" option you'll be even madder at yourself a few weeks from now. This is a good time to go back to basics and make sure you aren't fudging your calories Better_Balance - I think you have a great idea. I don't think you'd be…

ARGH, I never seem to find time to post and fall WAY behind. Seems like now I'm missing out on this star challenge thing. I am shooting for 1200 net a day and doing pretty well since I am doing IF. I may be a little over on some sedentary days but I'm usually under by a few hundred when I exercise. I fluctuate due to water…

Beeps your dresses look great on you! I love the first one the most. I know what you mean about feeling like you're sacrificing. Especially when I'm under all this stress I don't want to deprive myself at all! That's why I build in my cheats as much as I can Amy - great job on the workouts. I know what you mean about the…

Oh yes. For me I believe it's a wheat allergy of some sort. When I'm exposed to it nowadays I get itchy and gain at least 5+ pounds of ? water that takes a long time to come off. When I first stopped eating gluten I lost about 10 lbs in a month. Every time I try to go back to it I get itchy and gain weight and feel…
-
Hi all, sorry I messed up and disappeared. I had a good few days of intermittent fasting then I went to Jamaica with my son and soon to be ex husband. Decided to go back on gluten for he first time in years to enjoy more of the local food so I'm sure I gained a ton since gluten usually gives me an extra 5-10lbs. Tomorrow…

Hi ladies! I am going to try and jump in too if that's ok. I was actually one of the original NTHGs but stopped hanging with the group when it got pregnant. Got back down to goal body fat and beyond about 3 months or so after my son was born but the last few months have been super challenging for me personally and I…

What are you doing at night that causes you to stay up so late? It seems like if you could make your nighttime more efficient who could easily incorporate a 30 minute workout AND get more sleep by going to bed a little earlier. Your son may benefit from a little gentle sleep training, make sure you have a good routine and…

MAYBE you don't mean to but it seems like you are putting the OP down for no reason. She didn't SAY kids were an excuse she asked for tips on HOW to squeeze in exercise with kids. You seem to be doing amazingly well with this but you have posted twice on this thread while giving NO tips. Seems kind of mean. Do you find…

By tone I meant firm and develop the muscle. My measurements are smaller because I have lost weight but my butt is perkier and sticks out more since I got it toned. I agree butt bible is also great, albeit a little repetitive Thanks! It's my son and I in the pic ;)
-
Most of the time you don't really need to gain much mass to display more tone. Also as you lose the weight your bum may stay the same size and look for proportionate. I'm not a beachbody coach or anything but I would recommend the beachbody program Brazilian Butt Lift. It's hard but it does wonders for your butt!

This has been challenging for me. I work in the ER and my hours vary between days, nights and evenings. Many shifts are 12 hours plus commute time and i often get off late at night (ie 1am or so) and have to get up with my son at 7am. i try to have the nanny come early before my shift when I can so I can workout and when I…

I'm screwed! I only wear scrubs and yoga pants! in fact I'm wearing yoga pants right now! :embarassed: But I'm always checking in the mirror to make sure my butt looks good and my hips are spreading.... Fore the guys, there is a whole website dedicated to lusting after women in yoga pants: http://www.girlsinyogapants.com

I'm 35, 5' 3" and crept up to about 125lb from 118 when I stopped exercising and started emotionally eating due to problems at home and now divorce. If I use life as an excuse I'll be 300lbs. Looking for help getting back into that "skinny girl" mindset instead of depressed sloth :)
-
Hi, I just bumped an old thread on this yesterday. It was called "Divorce and Emotional Eating", it's like 3 pages back now. We have similar stories. My husband and I have been together 13 years as well. The difference is I am divorcing him because he won't stop having casual affairs and being verbally abusive. It doesn't…
-
Sorry to bp this old thread but it seems like the kind of support I was looking for. I have started the process of divorcing my serial cheating emotionally abusive ex (not sure what else grassette would suggest since he won't go to counseling). It was already getting hard to work out with my toddler around. Now all I want…
-
Yes, I have been snacking like crazy recently. I know it is emotional eating because I'm going through a lot these days but I can't seem to stop myself. I'm eating like I did when I was 10lbs heavier! Open to ideas!

Wow you were always gorgeous but now you have a bangin body to match! Must be hard to keep hubby away lol

Hey, wow I used to be part of the original thread, it's amazing how much the concept has grown into a huge group. I had my love of my life, my son July 8th. Before that I had a miscarriage and had been trying to lose the weight from that pregnancy. Lucky to be lower than pre-preg but I'm still higher than my lowest weight.…
