People Dropping Off???
Hey All! I've been using this site for a few years now and love it! I've had a lot of friends drop off over the years and would love some new ones! I exercise pretty much every day. My favorites are biking, running, weight lifting, circuit training, cardio kickboxing, HIIT workouts, racquetball and spinning. I also keep my…

Gadgets for the kitchen
I got an immersion blender the other day & I am in LOVE! I would have had one years ago if I'd known how awesome they are! You see, I usually drink Shakeology {an amazing drink with over 70 ingredients made from whole foods} for breakfast and I dirty my blender. Then I usually workout and then make my protein recovery…

What gets you FIRED up?
What gets you fired up when working out? Is it people around you? A mantra you repeat to yourself? A pair of skinny jeans? For me it is a great playlist {Music makes ALL the difference in my world}

Tips for Surgery...
Hey all, I am having a big surgery tomorrow (don't want to get into all of the details). The recovery is going to be 6 weeks or longer so I was wondering ... How do you cope with not being able to workout and still stay on track, especially through the holiday season. I have lost 100 lbs and I don't want to gain a single…

Telling someone
Tell somebody. When you tell somebody else what you are going to do, you are far more likely to actually do it. If you keep it to yourself, no one has to know when you don't take action. Use accountability as a tool to get things done. (MFP being one of them) If your friends and family are anything like mine, they will let…

So what exactly is a BMI?
I was reading and came across this information. :-) "Several studies examined the BMIs of MILLIONS of people and correlated them with rates of illness and death. BMIs in the normal range are associated with the lowest rates of illness and death." That's how they determined what a healthy BMI is, by the rate of disease and…

100lbs GONE! GONE! GONE!
I have been waiting a long time to be able to say that! I have lost 100lbs! Whenever my Dr.s find out how much I have lost, the first thing they ask is, "gastric bypass?" NOPE! Plain old exercise and eating right did the trick for me. I took me quite some time. I lost quite a bit of weight and then found out I was…

Your Microwave may not be as safe as you think it is...

Including *weight gain *Low energy levels *depression *decreased nutrient value of you food *Increased risk of cancer There is even such a…

A bit backwards!
Why is it that we can pay so close attention to everything under the sun, the kind of gas in the car, laundry detergent we use, the clothes that we wear, but we don't think twice about crap we feed our bodies on a daily basis and what it's doing to all of us??? Seems a bit backwards... Why do we care so much about things…

iFit (anyone tried it?)
I have an iFit Treadmill which basically connects to the internet and automatically loads my next workout on to the treadmill. Jillian Michaels designed my running workouts and they are KILLER! Anyone else had an experience using the iFit technology?? -Chancy *Feel free to send me a friend request*

To Schedule or Not to schedule??
Hey all! I am a Beachbody coach and have been doing P90X (and more recently Insanity) for a year and a half now (with excellent results I might add!). I have recently added in quite a few of the other Beachbody programs & instead of following the "P90X Routine" or the "Insanity Program" I have been kind of winging it with…

Scared to get on the scale! :-O
Hey All! My name is Chancy & my husband is a soldier in the Army. He has been deployed to Iraq for 6 months now (with about 6 to go) and he recently came home for two weeks for R&R. He just left to go back and I am feeling bummed about having lost a lot of my (hard earned) progress! I have lost 98lbs since I started on my…

I am pretty close to my goal weight right now... But I have sooooo much trouble working out in the mornings! I know I just need to "swallow the frog" and get it…

I am a Beachbody coach and I have done (and am currently doing) many of the programs Like P90X, Insanity, P90X+ and TurboFire...but I have yet to try Brazil Butt Lift.
