They replace vital vitamins/minerals that may not be consumed in a restricted diet.... Not excatly "help" losing weight, but "help" keep you healthy! Hope that helps!

I have Exhilarate as well as another poster, and lemme tell you, I did the 60min wo (Exhilarate) for the very first time this am and not going full force, got me a 604 calorie burn! I can only imagine when i get better!!!! I was going with a friend to a class, but honestly, it was more "vanilla" than I like, I enjoy the…

It is a great workout! I have done 1 round of Chalean and just finished a hybrid of Chalean and Turbo Fire! I dont know how much my body fat decreased, but my lean muscle has most def increased!!!!

I did Zumba years ago (2001?) and liked it okay, but recently got back into it! And wow!!!!!!! I did Activate for the 1st time this am, and repeated 2 of the segments, so I didn't feel like such a uncordinated fool.... total wo ended up being 50min and got a 430 cal burn!!!!! I can only imagine when I feel more comfortable…

Do u like to dance, like traditional ol school workouts???? What do you like is important! I have and do Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire, and currently awaiting the arrival of Zumba Exhilarate!!!!! I am finishing up the Chalean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid and after I do…

I work out at home and probably average 7-8 hrs week, sometimes a bit more/bit less..... I would love to put in more, but 4 kids, FT job and all that comes with it, def restricts time....

Heidi Silverhooter.... :bigsmile: Wow, I always felt like I was more of a 'Candy Rain" gal.... ha ha ha

There is a studio where I live and I am sooooooooooooooo gonna try it.....Its my 29th bday present, coming in about 4 months! I should be at goal by then!

I use the GNC Pro Performance AMP Vanilla and mix it with 1% milk and 1/3 package of yoplait smoothie mix.... 6 days a week following my workouts! Whey is better for before/after wo's, and soy is better for prolonged periods of rest (like before bed)... GNC can be expensive, but I always go when my items are on sale or its…

Mexican Lasagna 80/20 ground beef, low fat cheese, black beans, rotel, olives and corn tortillas.... And big green salad!

I tried the Chobani peach, ehhhh, not thrilled.... Honestly the best so far has been the Dannon strawberry flavored one w/fruit on the bottom, throw in some low fat granola or Kashi and I am good...

Promax Cookies and Cream is sooooooo yummy, but expensive, it would be my lunch replacement if at a quick mart or 7-11.... but I usually get the Pure Protein bars (sometimes Special K protein cus I have a good coupon for em).... I will replace my afternoon snack with one when I have a craving for something bad..... and if…

It could very well be no more than 45min doing one type of exercise, but not in total, and I think 45 is the max for high intensity type of workouts...... most of my wo's are a min of 45 and a max of 2 hrs, but that is doing both cardio/strength.... I workout 6 days a week for around 60min.......

I totally am going to once I hit goal weight! it will be my 29th bday present!!!!!!

I work FT as well, and have 4 kids..... I too have that guilt, but I know that working out makes me happy and gives me energy to do more things with them.... I wake up at 3:50 M-F and at 4:50 on Sat/Sun to make sure I get my time..... they are all asleep and I get my time in! By the time I am done working out, its either…

I workout 6-7 days a week (sometimes 2x per day) for at min 45min...I do cardio/strength and I wake up at 3:50am to get them in!!!! I have 4 kids, a hour commute to and from work, work FT, and maintain a home (all domestic/financial).... This is my health/future, so I make it a priority..... When u are ready to make…

I always follow up every workout w/whey protein shake (skim milk, whey protein powder and yoplait smoothie mix) 250 cal, 29g protein......

I plan on getting them (and a tummy tuck)..... I originally said for my 30th, but that is 1 1/2 yrs away...... I want to be at goal (150lbs) by my bday and I am going to start the consultation/payments..... I have had 4 beautiful children, 3 of them are C-Sections....

I have only tried the Dannon kind w/fruit on the bottom.... I was not thrilled... I mean its okay, def edible, but was not making me hurry to the store to buy more.... I will probably eat it 1 or 2x a week, with some lowfat granola mixed in..... I like the Special K granola!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! I know that feeling! But, for me it was kinda bittersweet... I just BOUGHT new workout pants in a Large...they are too large.... they fall while walking around, much less working out..... Great that I can fit into a Medium, but really???? :noway:

:smile: I am a mom of 4 (10, 6, 4 and 20mo) and wake up at 3:50am to get my workouts in.... Its hard, but it is the ONLY time I get.....

I must have missed the offensiveness.... I enjoyed the articlel!!!! And last time I checked I am a woman...wait.....yep the right parts are still there!!!!! :bigsmile: And Newfiedan..... I do "Fear the Fuzzy"!!!!! My friend sent that pic to me and said "this has u all over it!" I have actually read a few of your posts, and…

:bigsmile: I now wear size L in Fredricks of Hollywood underwear!!!!! :bigsmile: That's a BIG deal for me (DF is not upset about it either!)

I have the same protein shake every am after my wo as breakfast...... 1 scoop whey protein (20g), 3/4 cup skim milk and 1/3 package yoplait smoothie mix.... ends up being approx 260 cal, 31g protein! It does NOT keep my full until lunch (i drink it at 5:45am), but I also eat at 9ish and that meal will have at min 15g…

I always finish each workout with a protein shake made w/20g whey protein, 3/4 cup skim milk and 1/3 package of yoplait smoothie mix (its about 260 cal and 31g protein!) I also drink at least 3-4L of water, but should up that as well.... I too sit all day and tend to get more upper body soreness, but LOTS of water does…

I use it and I LOVE it!!!!!! But word of caution...... if you are sensitive to caffiene, be careful with these! They are great for that added edge during the wo, but I started on 1 pill a day and worked my way up (several weeks) to the suggested 3 pills/day.... I do not find that it suppresses my appetite, but def gives me…

I felt that this was more of what I wanted to hear...... "Ideal weight range is 140 - 154 lbs. (63.6 - 70 kg.). You are overweight by 14 lbs. (6 kg.)." ih yeah, I have a "large frame" I am aiming for a goal of 150, so that puts me right where I should be according to this.... I have a very athletic build, with a wide rib…

I will start making payments in August and will use a portion of my tax return and then finance out the reminader.... its a LOT of money, and I mean like almost 1/4 my annual income, but i am done having kids and I want to be happy!

:frown: I HATE IT!!!!!! I have 4 kids (the last 3 were all C-Sections and in 5 years!) I gained 70lbs with my last one (now 19 months old) and have lost all of my pre preg weight....except the flop!!!! Its sooooooo gross, and sadly is the only reason I have to wear a size 12 :frown: I do almost daily ab/core work and have…

So, this is coming from a mom of 4.... my last 3 were all C-sections and in 5 yrs! So I will only be rid of my pooch with surgical intervention. I will of course tightan and shrink it, but the extra skin will not just go away! I gained 70lbs with my last child and now have gotten within 5lbs of my prepreg weight and 20…
