You'll be my neighbor soon...I'm in Hampton, VA!:bigsmile:

I'm in Hampton, Virginia!

I've never taken the class in person, but I have ordered the system via the infomercial and I love it :love: I have The Firm's TransFIRMation System and I truly saw visible results within 2 weeks of using it. I don't use it as much as I used to because I have hired a personal trainer and I can't do weights two days in a…

That was me with the Cabbage Patch Doll comment:laugh: That was so wrong of me, but when I look at her, that's what I see!

So ladies, I have a challenge coming up this weekend. I'm going on road trip from Virginia to South Carolina with some of my sorority sisters from college and I am TERRIFIED! We're leaving on Thursday and coming back on Sunday. I can see the weekend clearly in my mind...booze, food, and then more booze. How on earth am I…

14 pounds! That's incredible! Congratulations:drinker: :bigsmile: :smile: :laugh: :happy: :glasses: :flowerforyou:

I love Wendy's chilli. It's very filling, and the calories and fat are not too high for me. I don't count sodium, so that's not generally a concern for me. I'm on a high protein diet, so the protein count is also a plus.

So here's my official two week update... 11/17/2008 WEIGHT = 199 lbs (lost 4 lbs:bigsmile: ) RIGHT BICEP = 13.5 inches (lost 0.5 inches:smile: ) CHEST = 41 inches (lost 0 inches...and I'm happy about that! I'm trying to keep the girls:laugh: ) WAIST = 37 inches (lost 2 inches:drinker: ) HIPS = 46 inches (lost 2…

Come on in...the more the merrier:drinker:

Happy Monday Everyone! It's our first check in day. I'll be going to the gym later on this evening to get my official two week weight loss and will update later on. Good luck to everyone else!:bigsmile:

1. What are your starting, current and goal weights? 223, 201, 140 2. What's been the hardest thing since beginning your weight-loss journey? Cutting back on fast food and alcohol:drinker: 3. What's your favourite exercise? Spinning 4. What's your favourite healthy snack? Haven't found one yet:noway: 5. What's your…

Thanks for the support:bigsmile: Though more bad news for me...it turns out the batteries in my particular model are not replaceable. My transmitter is just dead and will have to be replaced:sad: It's supposed to last 2 years when used for 1 hour 7 days per week, so I'll just say I've done exceedingly well and surpassed…

Ok...I'm breathing deeply now. :noway: :wink: Hmmmm....I was so freaked out about it not working, I didn't even think about batteries. I thought only the watch portion had batteries in it. Now that I have calmed down and read my manual, I see that the transmitter has batteries as well. However, it has to be taken to a…

I workout religiously with my Polar F6 HRM. Yesterday in the middle of working out, I realized that I had no heart beat.....00 BPM:brokenheart: . I did everything could to readjust my chest strap, still no pulse. It is officially dead:sad: Luckily, when I purchased it, I got the one-year extended warranty, but it will take…

My boobs:cry: And boy would I like those back. The smaller my boobs get, the bigger my belly looks:angry: I carry most of my weight in my stomach and back. My arms and legs have gotten pretty lean since I've been eating healthy and working out. I can see biceps and quads without flexing:drinker: Unfortuantely, I still look…

And to get back on topic....I would choose Jillian. I think she's the best. Bob always seems to be stronger throughout the season, but Jillian has had more finalists and 4 out of the 6 winners were Black team members.

I've been researching this product for a while, but I haven't made the big leap to purchase it. It's a nearly $400 investment and I want to make sure that it will be worth the money. Here is another website that provides additional information about the product: http://www.bodybugg.com/index.php When purchase the BodyBugg,…

You inspire me:bigsmile: . I wish I could run 6 miles. I can run 1 now, but even that's a struggle.

I'm no nutrition expert, but 1000 calories sounds really low to me. You may want to consult with a nutritionist. Remember, your BMR is the amount of calories that your body burns just to carry out it's basic fuctions. Once you get out of bed for the day, that number actually increases (mine was 2636/day). My trainer said…

Today was an ok day for me. I ate within my calories and earned an extra 680 calories at the gym (I don't eat my exercise calories). How's everyone else doing?

Yeah, there are tons of online calculators to find your basal metabolic rate. If you have access to a gym that uses the Polar Body Age Machine, that is probably the best method because it's not just making a guess based on your height, weight, and age....it's uses actual measurements of the following: Weight, Body Fat…

I go to Gold's Gym too, and I think the second class you're referring to is RPM...it's under the Les Mills program.

There's gonna be drama next week...I can't wait:bigsmile:

GOOD BYE BRADY!!!!:drinker: I love Amy!:heart:

me too. remember, she was on the team with coleen and michelle in the beginning. hopefully she will save michelle.

Good info Mufasa...it sounds like you do the same as me. There is so much controversy on this message board over whether you should or should not eat your exercise calories. I don't because I am under the guidance of a personal trainer who has given me a set number of calories to eat per day at that's what I stick to…

If someone from the black team goes home tonight, I'm not watching the rest of this season. If Amy was smart, she'd jump ship and team up with the black team. If she fall under with one of the others from her team, she's the odd man out.

I don't because I am under the guidance of a personal trainer who has given me a set number of calories to eat per day at that's what I stick to whether I workout or not. My trainer says that the goal is to create a deficit in the number of calories that I consume and burn everyday...I shoot for a deficit of at least 500…

I usually don't talk about people's physical appearance, because I believe that we are all beautiful in someone's eyes, but her mean-spiritedness makes her immune to my rule. She looks like a retarded cabbage patch doll.

Honestly, I don't know if I can explain it to you, but I'll try. There is so much controversy on this message board over whether you should or should not eat your exercise calories. I don't because I am under the guidance of a personal trainer who has given me a set number of calories to eat per day at that's what I stick…
