Camel pose.....
It's killer, the two handed one. You know what I mean. So who can do it? I haven't been able to touch my heals yet, one at a time I can, but not with both hands!

Newbie to Yoga
I did it for the first time yesterday. I was hoping it would make me feel less sore. I run the C25K program nearly everyday and the back of my thighs are always sore. I admit, I don't stretch enough and was hoping the yoga would be helpful with that. But as of last night and this morning, I feel even more sore. Anyone else…

Back at it!!!
Ok...apparently I took too much time off from it. Got back to it today and huffed and puffed and yelled at Jillian all the way through it. It's been more than a week since I did a Yoga meltdown and it showed today!!

Introductions
I'm a soon to be 45 year old mom of 3 sons. I've been a MFP member for 560 some odd days now. I've taken this approach has a lifestyle change, not a diet. I enjoy running, (never ever thought I would), I like tennis (but rarely play these days) and I'm a fan of Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" and "Yoga Meltdown". I'm not…

365 of logging!!!
I never thought I'd really do it. But MFP surely makes it a bit easier. Ladies if I can do this, and I'm not done yet, so can you!!!

It is all you!!
There are no magic pills or shakes. There is no magic person to get you going or keep you going. It is all YOU!! You just have to get started. Decide that you love yourself and respect yourself enough to care about what and how much you eat and drink. You are the only one capable of making it happen. Reach inside, dig deep…

NROL4W at home??
Hello all. I have this book on hold at the library and am waiting patiently for it to come in. I don't want to purchase it yet, as I don't know if this is something I can do at home. We have a small weight bench, and excuse my ignorance, but not even sure what kind of weights are with it. My question is, how many of you do…

Armpit exercises???
Ok, I know this might be a strange question. But I need exercises for the armpit area. Since the pregnancy and birth of my first son I have breast tissue under my armpit that swelled up and never went away. (It has been confirmed by doctors that it is breast tissue.) For the last 18 years I have been very sensitive about…

How can I support you???
Ladies, I created this group and haven't participated very much in it, and for that I am sorry. I am no expert, but I have learned a few things along the way. This wasn't easy for me, and I am not done yet. In truth I don't ever plan on being done. In order to be successful it has to be a lifestyle change. My profile and…

Anyone starting today?
I've used the dvd before, but have alternated w/ 30 DS and Yoga Meltdown, but this time I want to be more committed to it. I find this workout very difficult but really want to give it a solid try. I am 3 pounds away from goal, and need very much to tone up my core and abs. I don't think I'll do this every day for the 6…

The best is yet to come!!
The best is yet to come!! I started this journey nearly a year ago, in April, fell off the wagon by June but got back on July and have been committed to this lifestyle change ever since. I did falter over the holidays, but life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. I started C25K in June and have grown to love running. I am…

Running, treadmill vs. outdoors....HRM users
I enjoy running, I'm fairly new to it, I used to own a treadmill, but now run outdoors. In comparison I feel that running outdoors is more of workout. So out of curiosity I was wondering if any HRM users have compared the difference. Do you burn more running outdoors or is it the same as running on the treadmill?

January birthdays.....
Who's got one!! Mine is on the 11th!

Wonder Woman or should I say Wonder Women
I'm noticing several profile pictures of Wonder Woman, are you all part of a group or is this coincidence. One of the highlights of the week as a child was the television show "Wonder Woman", loved to watch it. So now that I've dated myself, what gives?? :wink:

Constant comments about weight loss.....
I have been on this journey solidly now for just over 160 days, to date I have lost 31lbs. In the beginning it was nice to hear comments when people noticed, but lately it's all I hear. I don't want to sound disingenuous but I'm not one that likes constant attention and the comments are becoming a bit negative. A very…

Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown
I did it for the first time yesterday. I was hoping it would make me feel less sore. I run the C25K program nearly everyday and the back of my thighs are always sore. I admit, I don't stretch enough and was hoping the yoga would be helpful with that. But as of last night and this morning, I feel even more sore. Anyone else…

Posting pics....
I see that many of you create before and after pics and have them side by side, sometimes labeled and with comments. Clue a girl in and tell me how you do that. Are you putting the photos on a word document? I'm going to be taking my first after photo in a few weeks and would love to post them with the date they were taken…
