Quaker Minute Oats vs. Steel Cut Oats
I am following a program to reset my metabolism and one of the breakfast choices for grain is steel cut oats. Can anyone please tell me what the difference is between those and regular quaker oat meal that you cook in a minute (not the little packets). I have never even heard of steel cut oats.:blushing:

Monday, August 11 Check In
Today was my first day of T25 and the first day that I used a heart rate monitor. I got my Polar Ft7 delivered yesterday and was so excited to use it this morning. I was able to endure the entire 25 minutes and modified only a couple of times...was dripping wet when I finished.

Friday, August 8th Check In
This morning I did one of the workouts that is my favorite. It is called Ballistic Backside and it definitely makes you very aware of the junk in the trunk!! I mentioned yesterday my new routine I was going to start in the morning to make myself eat breakfast. I made smart choices all day yesterday, not only watching my…

Thursday, August 7th Check In
Good morning everyone - my workout this morning was Upper Body Transformer and my arms and shoulders are feeling it. The first couple times I did this specific workout I used 5 pound weights but ramped it up to 8 pounds. This will be the end of week 6 and I really thought I would have dropped at least 10 pounds but there…

HRM's - Activity Trackers
I have been reading up on various HRM's/Activity Tracker and Pedometers that tell you how many calories you burned during your workout. I found one called the AMIIGO that says it can even track workouts like lifting weights because it has a wrist band and a shoe clip but I can't find anyone that sells them. I am getting…

Wednesday, August 6 Check In
This morning my workout was called Speed & Agility and it took moves from all major sports: basketball, soccer, football and skiing. I am in my 6th week of this program and gearing up to start T25. Do any of you do T25?

Check In - August 1st
My workout this morning was called Bicep Builder and I upped my weights. My arms feel like rubber this morning. There were lots of pushups too, which I totally suck at it!! When I first started this program 5 weeks ago I could do about 3 "girl" pushups. I am not on my toes yet but can do about 25 now so there is progress…

Day 66
Good news....my DVD player was at fault and not my DVD's!! I have been having problems with my DVD's freezing up in the middle of a workout, which is very frustrating.....I would have to go back to the beginning and then forward to where I left off. I thought I got some bad DVD's because I have heard that complaint a lot.…

Day 36
Though yesterday was my off day....I am making today my off day too because today I made the launch from 48 to 49...holy crap I am only 1 year away from being 50!! I was never bothered with 30 or 40 but I have a feeling 50 is going to be an emotional smack for me. This year is going to be a push year for me and I am…

I am Back - Sister is Recovering
Hey everyone - got back in town last night. My sister's surgerg had gotten postponed a couple of days due to complications but they finally operated on Monday morning. Her brain surgery was a huge success and it was amazing how differently this one affected her from the one she had 5 years ago (she had 2 brain anueryisms…

Motivation
Yesterday I read an amazing story of how Diana Nyad at 64 years of age (no spring chicken and 15 years older than me) on her fifth attempt (not a quitter) swam 103 miles in 53 hours making it from Cuba to Florida. In a statement to the reporters she said "I always knew I could do it". Now this story didn't mean so much to…

Week 2
One of the things I wanted to do was stop focusing daily on what the scale said so last Monday when I started things back up I promised myself I would just do my best and not get back on the scale for a week. So this morning I got on the scale and was pleasantly surprised to see 4.8 pounds gone!! I still need to take my…

Week One
Starting Weight 168 Last night - Shoulder Shredder Tonight - Lower Body Really enjoyed the workout - was able to keep up for the most part. I used 5 pound weights and kept up with no problem. Some of the jumping in the cardio made it hard for me to keep pace but I stuck with it doing the best that I could.

New To Group
Hey everyone - my name is Rhenee' and I just joined in with this group. I am not new to MFP but have not been participating for many months. I tried WW On Line because I felt I would have more accountability but was terribly wrong so I am coming back to MFP. I am excited to see that there are others doing JNL Fusion. I…

November 15, 2012
Good day my fellow Blubber Be Goners! This morning I woke up with a renewed spirit in regards to this whole weight loss thing. I am willing to accept my responsibility in past failures and ready to claim victory!!! I layed in bed last night thinking about how pitiful it is that of all the things that I have accomplished…

Les Mills Combat or TapOutXT
I am doing Turbo Fire right now but am very interested in both of these programs and really don't know which one would be better. I thought I would throw a line out there and see what any of you think that have done either one of these programs. They both seem to deliver great results, they both costs about the same....I…

Ever Wonder......
Ever wonder......why no matter how many times you are reminded that you need to lose weight, no matter how many times you look in the mirror you are disgusted and then gain a new sense of empowerment to start the next day with intention, no matter how many times you get tired of squeezing into your clothes that are just a…

Week One Results
I decided the best thing to keep me motivated was to do a weekly weigh in and take measurements. I was dissappointed with the scale because I only dropped 1.8 pounds but was shocked to find that I had lost a total of 8 inches. I am taking measurements of chest, waist, hips, upper thighs, upper knee, calves and arms. This…

New To Group
Hello there - I purchased Turbo Fire a while back and had high hopes of what I could achieve with it. Unfortunately it stayed in the box as I let "life" keep me from finding the time to put it to use. In the past months I have had one child graduate from high school and one gradulate from college - we moved the college…

Let's Make Some Noise
Hey there ladies and gents......we are several weeks into this and I don't know about you but I am enjoying being part of this group. However, I am a little surprised how quiet everyone is. Certainly for as many members are in this, there has to be some needed chitter chatter, good advise to share or just some fun comments…

Weekly Weigh Ins
Are you ladies interested in a weekly weigh in? I think Wednesday or Thursday mornings would be good. Seems a lot of people weigh in on Mondays and then get dissappointed - the weekends usually are the worst times to really "be good". I think this will help us with accountability. Thoughts?

Last night I had unexpected company so my workout got botched BUT I got up early this morning and did both the Core 20 and the Turbo Fire 30 with the 10 minute stretch. This was my first time doing the Core 20 and I loved it!!! I am officially one week in and I measured my waist this morning and it is 1 1/2 inches smaller…

January 5 Check In
Ok....so yesterday was 55EZ for me and there wasn't anything EZ about it. I will be honest and admit that I could not make it through the entire DVD. I know that it will take time to build my stamina but all that fast moving and jumping is just a bit much for my 5'3" overweight, out of shape frame!! Though I was…

January 4 Check In
I am trying to keep a daily post going so people can check in their workout..... Tonight I will be doing Fire 30 and Stretch 10. Anyone care to join me? Where is everyone at?
