I found these recently and I love them!

If you have a good trainer, s/he's worth every ridiculously expensive dollar. If you get a bad one, not so much, lol. I hate working out - I mean I REALLY hate working out. But, I work so much harder when I'm working with him, I see much better results, and I don't get bored as easily. I go to the gym regularly in between…

I have one and I rarely use it, but it would certainly be better than nothing - at least your up and moving around. It's just not very intense. I agree that you might be better served to try some of the free videos on YouTube. Some of the Jillian Michaels ones are on there, in entirety. Maybe try 30 Day Shred?

Happy Friday everyone! I'm looking forward to a little friendly competition - let's crush this! Here are my stats for today! BW - 216 SW - 169.6 LW TW - 167.8 Loss of 1.8 lbs. Finally, the scale seems to have moved, lol! Edited for spelling

My trainer is either too smart or too ethical for that - no way he let's me stall like that. And, believe me, I try. :grumble:

My old trainer made me squat ON the bosu, flat-side up - usually in conjunction with a kettlebell or shoulder presses. *kitten*. :grumble:

It never seems to get easier and, if it's not your friends, it'll be some "well-meaning" acquaintance or relative... Just keep making those healthy choices - it's your life and your body. Give them a smile, tell them your body is a temple and eat however you like!

Embarassed? Pffft! I love that show! Vanderpump Rules is one to be embarassed about, lol. It's like a train wreck and I. Just. Can't. Stop. Watching. It!!!!

That's so funny - I've had two different personal trainers and, with the exception of occasionally using the TRX or cable systems (and the calf-lift one for my shin splints,) it's always free weights, kettlebells or body weight. I wouldn't know how to use most of the machines if I had to.

Do you mean the mini donuts? No. But those rock too! Top Pot's a growing local chain - they're awesome!!! Unfortunately, there's one three blocks from my apartment, so I have to remember to detour AWAY from it on my way home from the gym, lol!

There's a 5k out here in Seattle sponsored by Top Pot Donuts - you get a donut at the end. Mmmmmmotivation indeed!

Yeah - we certainly don't want frozen ice cream. That's just preposterous!

This! :drinker:

Onions or mushrooms - unless they're minced to within an inch of their lives. Can't stand them raw, and I don't like the texture when they're cooked. And Brussell sprouts - not even bacon made them better, lol!

OMG - I went a year and a half ago. It is SOOOOO much fun!!! I really want to go skydiving. I know I've been under the weight limit for a while, but since it's going to be tandem, I really didn't want to weigh as much, or more, than the guy I was strapped to. If I stay on track, I think I should be able to be there by my…

Oh you betcha! In fact, I grew my bangs out, in part, because I was sick of sweaty bangs sticking to my face, lol!

Shadowboxing? My dad has issues with his feet - he props himself on a stool and starts throwing jabs and crosses for a few minutes at a time. It definitely gets his heart rate up!

You rock!

No, no, no. Kale Chips are the negative calorie ones. Rice cakes are the irony snacks. :drinker:

They forgot to take the drops?

Well, not unless you're eating that banana...
