is it possible to gain 5 lbs in a week
so I've eaten horribly sunday, monday, and tuesday. Today is the first day I was slightly under or at my calorie goal for the day. I've still done my 30ds everyday, (with a rest day on monday).

Biggest Loser CardioMax dvd
I just did day 1 of the Biggest Loser CardioMax dvd and I don't know how to log it. Unfortunately I do not have a HRM, so I need to go by something that is already in the database. Can anyone who has also done this video tell me how they have logged it?

Books for Christmas?
Did anyone get any good reads this year for Christmas? My husband bought me The Hunger Games trilogy. I just finished reading The Hunger Games and can't wait to start the next book, Catching Fire! I'm so excited, I've been in a slump lately trying to find something good to read. If you have read The Hunger Games yet, I…

Level 3
Has anyone else started level 3 yet? what do you think? I did level 3 yesterday and it kicked my butt. I went back and did level 1 today because I was sore enough that I was afraid I would hurt myself if I tried to do level 3 again. Here's to getting it done tomorrow though!

Thanksgiving
So for all of us picky eaters, what traditional Thanksgiving food do you refuse to eat? I'll start. I refuse to eat stuffing! Be it homemade or from a box, I cannot stand the texture of wet bread! What's funny is that I love the smell of stuffing cooking. It is one of my all time favorite smells. I just can't get past the…

Scheduling Time for You!

My First NSV
So over the past 6 weeks I've lost a total of 7lbs. I'm okay with that because even though it's happening slowly, it's still happening. I tried on a pair of brown dress pants and couldn't believe it! Now I have been able to wear these pants recently, but this is the first time that I have been able to completely button…

counting calories
I have recently realized that the best way to stay under my calorie goal for the day is to log all of my food that I intend to eat for the day so that I know where I am at from the very beginning. Sometimes, I make adjustments depending on what happens throughout the day, but so far it seems to be working really well. Does…

My husband and I are traveling to his sister's home in Pennsylvania this weekend so they can spend time with our son. Can anyone give me some good ideas on how to maintain my calories while away from home?

Need Ideas
Can anyone with small children and a full time job give me some tips on how they integrated exercise into their daily routine? Right now my schedule is up at 5am, work 7am-4pm, pick up son & home by 4:30pm, dinner by 5 or 5:30pm, son in bed by 8pm. Even with my husband helping, I'm so tired by the time we put Danny to bed…

Desperately Seeking Help
Yesterday morning I stepped on the scale and was horrified by what number appeared. How had I let this happen? At one point I had managed to lose 25lbs and was so proud of myself; but then I got pregnant and it has been all downhill since. My son will be 2 in December and I have decided that I cannot let my bad eating…
