I would start eating more cals a day. Also start tracking your sodium and fiber. If you eat more protein and fiber they will help you feel fuller for longer periods of time. Are you drinking plenty of water? Try drinkng a glass of water before every meal. I would also try and step away from all the pre-prepared and…

We all eat the same thing with 2 exceptions, my Autistic son who has severe texture issues gets a special meal, and my vegetarian son will get variations of whatever I'm making if it has any meat or fish in it........For us it's about a healthy lifestyle for the whole family.

If you don't mind some dairy cottage cheese and greek yogurt have decent amounts of protein in them.

I loved TurboJam but prefer TurboFire because it is much more Intense.....it's kicking it up a notch. I also burn a lot more calories doing TurboFire which is a definite plus in my book!

I workout with a HRM and my BodyBugg and I actually burn more calories doing TurboFire then I do Running. About 4 more cals a min.

I have a dog that is the same way....I use a harness, and I find that once I build up speed the dog isn't sniffing around anymore and just runs steady with me. If I'm at a slower pace though he's all over the place.

This is pretty much what I do also. I found I was much more succesful only weighing a few times a month. I wasn't stressing over the numbers anymore and it made a big difference in how I felt mentally.

Holy Smokes this sounds absolutely delicious.....so happy I have some sitting in my fridge so I try this!

This is my absolute FAVORITE workout! It is fun and I love the music. Its a workout where I don't look at the clock and when it's over I can never believe it is over already. I had my most success while doing TurboFire. I lost 20lbs. doing it. Anything Chalean is amazing! I don't find her annoying like some other…

Being Military I have moved more times then I'd like to remember. We have 6 kids so it is always, shall we say an adventure!?! Try and keep a few of his fav things with you so you don't find yourself having to dig through boxes to find things that will make him feel comfortable. Also make sure you talk to him about the…

It's for men and women......also there are different variations you can do. I did the lean.

I'm a fan of almost all of Beachbody's products. My Dh and I both did P90X last year. I liked it, the first week I swear I could feel every muscle in my body, including ones I didn't know existed before. I didn't lose a lot of weight while doing it, but did tone up nicely.

How much fiber and Protein are you eating? Are you drinking plenty of water? If your not already doing it, drink a glass of water before each time youe eat, it can help you feel full. If you eat foods with more protein and fiber you usually will feel fuller for longer periods of time. If I eat meals that have more carbs I…

Just make sure you label read, and not just follow the sales associates word. I have son that is Vegan, and the sales associate we had was trying to sell us products that were not Vegan, trying to tell us they were. My son felt the need to educate him, poor guy! At least my kiddo was nice about it, even though he was…

If I absolutely need somethng sweetened I use Stevia. To the OP, if you are looking for something other than coffee, have you tried Yogi Perfect Energy Vanilla Spice tea? Almost the same amount of caffeine as coffee, and I can drink it without anything in it.

That's sounds yummy! Thanks!

We have this same issue.......I leave the house at 3 and we usually don't get back home till after 9, 6 kids lots of activites, and lots of picky eaters! Any crockpot ideas?

Another fan of the Old Navy Compression pants. I was at my Inlaws and realized I forgot my running gear, and wanted to pick up something quick, and got a pair, now I have quite a few as they have become my fav! Gapbody isn't bad either. I have some Luluemon Run Crops too which I also love, but for the money Old Navy is the…

I totally agree that a great support system both at home, and outside of home are important! You got this! I just know it!

Hi there! I'm a fulltime Mom to 6 kids. They keep me running all over the place, and many times it is hard to find the motivation. My kids range from 17 to 8, and my oldest son is Autistic and severe Epilepsy and requires 24/7 monitoring, so I understand it can be hard to find the time for you to focus on you, but you can…

Howdy! I know how you feel having been there more than once. I have 6 kids that keep me very busy. Feel free to add me!:smile:

feel free to add me

I love Insanity too and TurboFire is one of my absolute favs, along with TurboJam. Insanity might be hard on your knees if the 30DS is giving them problems.

I don't count housework as exercise. For me it is part of my normal daily activies, not something extra.

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me

I'm just starting another round of TurboFire! This is my absolute favorite workout! I love it!!!! Feel free to add me.

Another Army Wife here............Feel free to add me!

I just recently gave up coffee......but it wasn't because of the coffee itself, but because of all the creamer I used in it. I can't stand black coffee. If your not adding much to it, then I see no reason why should feel like you have to give it up.

My husband and I got engaged after 3 months, married another 3 months later. We will be married 18 years in Aug. and we have 6 beautiful kids. We are best friends, but function fine on our own, which is a really good thing since we are military and have done many years apart, and even now I only get to see him on weekends…

I keep a big bottle with me where ever I go......That helped me get in the habit of drinking water more often. It was hard at first because I absolutely hated water, now I find I actually crave it.
