Great idea! I think I will plug an ideal day see what happens :)

I bought Body Revolution and would tell you to save your money. I like doing 30 day shred, No More Trouble Zones, Killer Buns and Thighs, Ripped in 30.

Great post! Cereal and Orange juice were the biggest changes for me since childhood assumptions.

Running! I also enjoy rollerblading a lot, biking is probably my 3rd favorite.

This was so true for me! I wouldn't even notice till I tried to put on my work pants in September after wearing dresses all summer and they would be so tight! But this summer I have been using the extra time to workout out more and make more healthy meals. I feel you though!

So far I have not really worked out while fasting. Yesterday I went for a 15 minute walk after iftar. Today I did 10 minutes of a cardio dvd around midnight. I do miss working out, but I have no energy at all while fasting. From today onward I plan to do a 30 minute walk after iftan and a 30 minute Jillian Michaels video…

Salam, my name is Mediha. I'm in California. I have been using MFP for a while. I started using it diligently in December, and have lost 14 pounds. I enjoy running, biking, and rollerblading to workout. I also use Jillian Michael's DVD's. I especially like No More Trouble Zones. Getting ready to start fasting Friday :)

For seheri I usually have: 1. apple or pear 2. oatmeal 3. protein smoothie with fruit 4. two glasses water For iftar: 1. two glasses water 2. fruit chaat (fruit salad with salt pepper ans chili powder) For dinner: depends (chicken, rice, salad) Avoid anything fried or unhealthy otherwise. Have a great Ramadan!

I don't plan on using mfp while fasting. I will usually go for a long walk right before or after breaking my fast. Last year I did a little biking a few times, but in the heat it is difficult. I am at a healthy weight so I want to focus more on saying my prayers than logging food on mfp. Have a great ramadan everyone.

Someone told me that the motivation comes AFTER the results. At first you just have to force yourself to do it. Even a 30 minture dvd (which can be done without having to worry about leaving the kids). Once you see results, you will feel motivate. Hope that helps.

I agree, longer shorts. Don't worry as you lose weight this will stop and you can go back to shorter shorts. :smile:

I have been doing mornin lately. 1. cooler weather 2. i love starting the day and being active 3. helps me make better choices all day long

Great job! Your before was not horrendous. Your after is fantastic. Keep up the great work! I love Body Revolution

I agree with the person who said to try to avoid foundation. I have tried so many I did like the look of Nars sheer glow the most, Mac Studio Select liquid as well, but I am now focused on improving my skin instead. 1. Eating more fruit and veggies, less unhealthy foods 2. Drinking more water 3. Working out 4. Using…

I noticed it starts when I was maybe 22 and thin. I am 30 now, it is almost gone, there is hope! Weight training helps a lot, eating more berries and veggies, avoiding fried foods, avoiding sugary drinks and foods, and LUNGES and SQUATS have made a big impact. I also agee about the water. I also run and bike.

Thanks again for the feedback, and of=off!

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear others didn't like 5 and 6, maybe I'll try the next ones later and be motivated, or as others said, pick and choose pieces mixed with other things that work for me.

I'm trying to do this myself. I watched Food Matters and Fat Sick and Nearly Dead this month, Forks Over Knives last month. I purchase organic, am trying to get a lot more veggies into my diet, but have not been as dedicated to this as I feel I should be. My goal right now is to eat more high-nutrient foods as well as…

I was also doing a good job since about December (had been on before that but not daily). I was starting to get a bit burned out on logging everything, but whenver I feel that I way I go to the Succes Stories and see pictures that motivate me!

Congrats!!!!!

This is what has helped me (I think): 1. Washing with a gentle cleanser (as many said, I did the harsh acne washes in the past). I use Purpose face wash and try to only wash 2 times a day 2. Witch Hazel toner! Made a huge difference, 1time a day and Alpha hydroxy acid every other night ( I got it from Acne.org), helps with…

Hmmm, I wish I could say I was that good at keeping secrets, but I can't think of one! The person below me ate a salad today!

Yes! Biking is great fun and burns calories! I have a Specialized Hybrid which I love. I agree with the tip to check Craigslist. Getting in a few hills will give you the effect of high intensity intervals that burns more calories. It is so fun! Rollerblading is another fun one for summer :)

Typically: 2-4 days a week strength: Jillian Michaels Body Revolution 2-3 days a week: 3 mile jog 2 days a week: biking I hate gyms. Some days I do 2 different workouts, I rest once a week or once every two weeks. I go for 1 hour walks as well about once a week but don't really see that as a workout.

I love Runtastic

Saucony are my favorites! Any others have caused my knee pain to act up.

Thanks again for all the advice everyone. I have tried pilates in the past but my neck would always hurt. My plan is to: 1. Try to have more lean protein (I do have protein shakes for breakfast or post workout sometimes but will try to do this more) 2. Avoid sugar/white carbs 3. Get focused with my Jillian Michaels Body…

Wow!!!!
