sports bras!
I am sure there must be a thread around here regarding this topic but I don't feel like digging right now. So, to the busty girls out there: what is a good sports bra for keeping the girls locked and loaded? I hired a trainer last month and he has me doing a lot of plyometrics and HIIT. The other day while doing one of my…

Quinoa...
I am sure there have been a zillion posts about quinoa but am new to it. Just wondering if anyone has any tips to make it not have a bitter taste. I had it at a friends house and when I made it on my own it did not taste right, I guess I would describe the taste as bitter. Any suggestions and/or recipes welcome :) .

last day tomorrow
One more workout tomorrow! Did everyone make it?

L3D1
Any thoughts?

Checking in...
How's everyone doing? Are we all trudging through level 2? Almost done with it! I didn't do it yesterday but here in MN we got about a foot and a half of snow from Thurs-Fri morning so I spent about an hour shoveling yesterday and figured that was good enough.

JM 30 Day Shred to Ripped in 30
I am sure there is already a topic on here somewhere about this but don't have time to search around.... Anyone who has completed JM 30 DS and has moved on to Ripped in 30, or vice versa, can you comment on how they compare? I completed 30DS two days ago and had success with it. I did have to do the modified versions of…

Mind, Body and Spirit is the focus this week. This may be difficult for all us busy ladies but in addition to all our healthy eating and butt kicking we need to center ourselves.

Week 7 Challenge: Deadline January 6
This week's challenge is to regroup, check-in, get dialed in again. Let's work together, what do you need from us as a group? I know I need some support right now.

I think this is fantastic
http://news.yahoo.com/mo-students-lose-756-pounds-sc-boarding-school-201915323.html I wish that when I was in high school they would have had a program like this, perhaps I would not have been/be in the shape I am. Hats off to these kids, thier families and the school for such an accomplishment!

Week 6 Challenge: Deadline December 30
Ok ladies, here it is two days before Christmas...a time of indulging in rich food, treats galore, and probably not taking the time out to exercise. For some of us it brings added stress and emotional overload. Yes, we all love our family and friends but sometimes it just gets to be too much. The challenge this week is all…

salt
Any nurses/dieticians/really smart people here? I have been craving salt like crazy for about a week now. I try to use it in moderation and I try to purchase items that are low or reduced sodium, however some foods like luncheon meat and cheese tend to have higher sodium content. My blood pressure has always been well…

Suggestion
Hey ladies! I purchased the Jillian Michael's Kick boxing quick fix the other day. It consists of (3) 20 minute workouts. 1 for upper body, 1 for lower body, and 1 for abs. I did upper body yesterday and lower body today. I highly reccomend it. Who knew that 20 minutes could make me sweat and feel like I did an actual…

New motivation
Long story short...Robert thinks that losing 48 lbs by our wedding is an unrealistic goal. He was not "trying" to be an *kitten*, but it sure came off that way. So, in my head I said "Challenge accepted, mother f*****." He has some weightloss goals as well, but he is a guy and if he would just get off his lazy keaster and…

Exer-mer-cise
So, what is everyone doing for exercise now that winter has bestowed it's presence on us? I tell you what, that is one area that I struggle with the most. Yes, I know I have access to the staff fitness center at work but it is really quite lame. The equipment is old and sometimes disfunctional, plus the ambiance is very…
