It is so amazing, I LOVED it, I am going to start it again for the holiday season!!!

Northwest Indiana here :) Friend me if you want :)

Reduced fat cheese sticks are great, always fruit of any kind!! anything made my kashi is great!! I take mini bags of cereal by Kashi! The Honey Almond Flax is awesome and very filling!!

Eat foods high in protein and fibers! I eat popcorn, which has carbs, put also fiber. I do not eat pasta and rarely potatoes. We do not really eat bread either, but if you are going to eat those things, get the whole wheat variety. Eat lots of fruits, they fill you up and lean meats. I also eat Kashi foods, they have…

I won't eat yogart, so I take a probiotic. Make sure it has at least 2 billion microorganisms :) It has helped me a TON!!

I have done the holter monitor, the 30 day event monitor and the 2d ecocardiogram with doplar, so I have done it all :). I will try gatorade, or lemon water, no one said anything about electrolyte imbalance, so that is a good thing for me to try :Thanks!!!

I had a heart ablation when I was 14. They have not talked about medicine and I am not too fond of the idea of medicine that could have potential side effects as well. I don't drink, I dont smoke and dont over do the caffeine. I would say right now I have on average 400-500 pvc a day. I do yoga also, I love working out, it…

I am always on the go and I take apples with me everywhere! Low cal snacks that are good is string cheese, fruit, nuts, be careful with granola bars, they are high carb. I love all kashi foods, I eat kashi go lean honey almond crunch cereal as a snack. I make little baggies of it and grab one and go. Reduced fat and butter…

Check your carbs? I did not go over calories ever but had higher carbs. I cut my carbs down to 150 or less and lost 10 pounds over 45 days, which is a safe way to do it. Just a thought.

Shaun T is a great motivator! I loved insanity, starting it again when I am done coaching volleyball

I'm Northwest Indiana, you can friend me if you like :)

I would use dunkin donuts info, it would be similar

I just went through that, what i had to do was look at my carbs. I never went over calories, but my carbs were high. I cut my carbs down to only 150 a day or lower and started losing weight again! Just something to think about :)

I only weigh in once a week, every Sunday to start my week off. I picked Sundays because if I had a bad week and didnt lose or gained a pound, I can start my week off right and try to have a better week than the last one!

I have done it twice and it is an incredible work out. It challenged me both times and I was in good shape when I started it. It is the hardest home workout I have done but it is so motivating! I loved Shaun T!!!

Cut it, go with a classic bob, my friend who is a beautician says they are back in style lol. I have curly curly hair, so I can not do that, but I Think they are so cute!

I think if you work hard to take off the weight, you appreciate your journey more than those who had the surgery. When you remember the hours spent working out, or the diet changes you made, you never take that for granted. When you work hard for anything, it is always worth it in the end. Keep working hard, bc when you…

I dont restrict food bc then I only crave it more!! Anything in small quanitities is ok I think. If i say I wont eat ice cream, tomorrow I will want it. I would not take out milk or cheese just make sure you eat reduce fat cheese or skim milk. Calcium is so important for our diets. I would just keep counting calories and I…

I eat Kashi Go Lean Honey Almond Flax in the morning and feel full until lunch. I eat half a cup with skim milk or just munch on it dry. It has a ton of fiber and protein and it does have good carbs, no white sugars! I eat it around 7:30 and feel full until I eat lunch at 11:30. Kashi has a ton of great cereals that offer…

I did the deck of cards workout this morning and LOVED it! I did burpees, pull ups on my total gym, squats and squat jacks. I did it in my basement so I could not run a mile, but I jogged in place for 3 minutes I think tomorrow though I will do jump roping. IT was great workout! Thanks for the idea

Music is a motivator especially when I run, I love when a great song comes on and I can just pick up the pace!!

I swam all summer, we are only 68 today, so I think my swimming days are over till next year :)

I like the deck of cards idea. I used the deck for ab work before, but not doing it with cardio and assigning an exercise to each suit. I think I am gunna try that this week and change the exercises each day!!! Thanks for the idea!

and I complete every program I start :) But at most, they are two months long lol

Those are the workouts I have done over the past two years, Insanity is 60 days each time and so is P90X. I have also done Turbo Jam, Chalean Extreme, and others. I just find routine boards me :). I also have a total gym and free weights, so I try to vary what I do and the programs I select :)

I so wish I could get my husband to workout with me!! You are lucky!!

I have done yoga too, I love yoga and I used to do Pilates too. THe Winsor Pilates :)

I would say low carbs is better bc if you go low carbs you cut out so much gluten as it is! I have gone gluten free and lost NO weight and went low carb and started to see a difference :)

I like the carbination bc I can drink diet sierra mist too. I need something besides water all day and I dont want the calories from juice :)

Insanity is INTENSE but great!!!
