Another check in
So how is everyone doing with the workouts? I'm loving them! I really enjoy the program. Finally got around to doing the stretching DVD, and boy does it stretch you....to the point it bothers my knee after, but that's no biggie. I was a little disappointed though, because I think my set is missing a DVD...the total body…

Day 2
So this morning I completed Day 2....I have never liked doing lunges or squats, but was able and willing to do the lunges and some of the squatting. Feeling really good about the workouts and keep looking forward to the next day. How is everyone else feeling about the workouts on Day2?

DVD results
Just wanted to see what DVD's give good results. I have Jillian Michaels 30DS and No More Trouble Zones and there are tons of forums about her stuff. I have all of Jackie Warner DVD's and have begun working with her 30 day one, but there is really no one that has talked about her results. I have others videos of Tae Bo and…

Jackie Warner Results
I have all of Jackie Warner's DVD's and have done them here and there and then got started on other exercises and wasn't doing videos for a while, but since I'm back to a demanding schedule with the kids and school and their sports I am getting back to videos. I like all of her videos and am eager to stick with them for a…

Is there way to calculate calories in a home cooked meal? (e
Is there an easy way to come up with the calories of a meal that I've cooked? I saw on a search site where is suggests you list everything and then go to the USDA website and enter each item for the calories and then add it together. Also if/when you do that would anything be overrided or would you add up EVERYTHING for…

Sodium & water
Pretty much every day you'll see someone mention something about sodium and water. I'm the type of person who never drinks tons of fluids, only as I feel thirty, but while just looking at something I came across this. http://www.nutritional-supplement-educational-centre.com/can-you-drink-too-much-water.html I've heard many…

Curious about consumption
I know when you enter your food, or add a recipe you enter what you've used in the item if you've made it. Like for example, marinades, cereal and such. I was just thinking that the calories probably are not so accurate since we don't ingest all of it. When I make my cereal (unless it's GrapeNuts cause that absorbs…

So tired since working out
You know how when you work out, in general you usually feel like you have more energy and such. Well I have changed my eating habits, have been working out religiously for close to 2 months (with the exception of the past week and a half from vacation), but I feel no difference like I have in the past. If anything I feel…

30 Day Shred
I've noticed that when I do 30 day shred that it whips me while I'm doing it, but that's about it! I mean immediately after, I still feel the workout, but not horribly! The area that I feel the most...even if I'm doing Zumba or other workouts is not my shin I think, but on the inner part of my calf. It's a very strange…

Xbox 360 Kinect workout
As crazy as it sounds...my motivation that got me started working out (besides an upcoming trip) was using the new Kinect feature for the Xbox 360. I tried it at my kids dads house and was immediately hooked! Since your body is the remote (no holding of any remote while playing the Kinect games)...you have to really move…

Need to work my abs.....
Like all of us, I desperately need to work on my core, but just can't stand to! I've seen the 3 minute abs, which is not bad, I just have to do it!!!! Took my measurements today and I've lost inches from almost all the areas I measured before...with the exception of my belly! Oh well, I will get this figured out!

South Florida people
I'm curious how many people on here live in the S. FLorida area!

Sweating
I know that people are all different, but I'm noticing some people will log their excercises and comment about how much sweat was pouring out of them! I've never been much of a sweater so it makes me wonder if I'm getting as good a workout when I do it if I'm not drenched. My boyfriend has told me that if I'm not sweating…

Remembering to calculate the little things
I'm finding that sometime I have to go back and add an item that I just didn't think about. Like this morning I had waffles and until now completely forgot to input the sugar free syrup! Things like that I wonder how many people forget innocently things like that! Or salad dressings...It's easy to say I put in salad but…

What heart rate monitor are recommended?
I'm thinking of getting a heart rate monitor to try and keep a more accurate track of calories and such, but don't know which ones work good! I've looked at a few online and some don't have great reveiws and then other ones are very expensive! Any recommendations would be gretlay appreciated!

Work out all at once or different times
I'm curious if it's a huge difference in working out different times of the day! Laterly I've been doing 20 minutes in the morning of either the treadmill or arm or leg workouts on the Kinect. Then in the evening/night, I'll either do 20 minute or 45 minute Zumba or the Kinect or an hour or maybe 30 minutes on Dance…

Shocked at the amount of calories in food
Since I've really never paid attention to calories...I am SHOCKED at how many calories are in the foods I would eat before being more concientious! It's really scary! I mean a ceasar salad has a lot of calories and I thought that would be something good to eat! It's also good to find out that some things that I like and…

No calories with strength training
How come when I input any strength training I do, it doesn't show any calories burnt? Only when you do cardio will it show burnt calories? The program I am using says that I am burning calories when I'm doing say dumbell curls or shoulder presses. I'm just curious!

I'm not trying to be a skinny minny, just trying to be healthy and be happy with how my clothes will fit. I'm…

This is just the beginning...
I had a very lengthy introduction typed out before, but once I sent it, it got lost,so here is my now shorter version. I am the mother of 2 crazy boys and work full time. I always feel as though I'm going non-stop, but obviously I'm not or I wouldn't be where I am body wise. I've decided that I have to make to time to get…
