Which is Best?
Ok, folks, it's that time of year (tax returns!!), what workout is the best? P90X, Insanity, Billy Blanks PT24/7, or (and I just saw this one) Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. Which one is the best? I'm fairly in shape and athletic, and I want something that is going to push me hard. I want to not be able to move the next…

My 6 month progress pictures
Here they are. I just missed my goal of losing 55 pounds. I lost 49 lbs. 3.5 inches in my hips, 2.75 inches in my right thigh, 2.5 inches in my left thigh, 1 inch in my waist (I go up and down a LOT in this area!) and .75 from my c-section scar to my belly button. I'm trying to keep track of the "baby pouch" that I've…

"Baby Pouch"
Ok, MFP MOMS. I have got the super obnoxious little pouch that hangs down from the extra skin. I'm pretty sure that there is no fat in it seeing as it hangs straight down, but I can't get rid of it!!! Any advice on what I can do, aside from a tummy tuck which I can't afford. I think it's all skin an just wish it would go…

Bret Michaels!!
Alright, I admit it. I started this LONG journey because Mr. Michaels was coming to town. I knew that I was going to be up front and damn if I wasn't. (I was front row, right in front of his microphone.) My goal by then was to lose 50 pounds. I only made 36, and I have recently found out that he is coming again in…

Adding Friends.....without seeming like a creeper
How do you guys do it? I only have like 13 friends and would love more, but adding random people seems odd. So far, the majority of my friends have come from commented on blog posts or message boards. Or things we appear to have in common. (I have one random add that is a Twins fan like myself, for example.) I don't want…

I have never been so ANGRY
at MYSELF! No, I didn't cheat. No, I wasn't lazy today. No, I didn't even over eat. While doing my Ripped Extreme with Billy Blanks, I was actually really listening to what he said between exercises. At one point, he said to get really angry and let it all out into your workout. To REALLY look at yourself and get ANGRY. So…

Mirrors
Well, I have not completely hit my goals, I'm only about 1/4 of the way there, actually. But today, I told my husband to bring our old full length mirror home from his parents. I hadn't wanted it here because I didn't want to be reminded of how big I was now. This is a small success compared to how I am going to feel when…

Pain in my ear??
Ok, so lately when I do any sort of workout, whether it be rope jumping, jumping jacks, or any kind of "bouncing" I get this INTENSE pain in my ear. Only my right ear, and it feels like someone is stabbing me with a sharp object right into my ear drum. Anyone else have this problem?

Found another workout~~~~Courtesy of my kids :/
Well, I previously posted a suggestion for a workout based on getting three sleeping kids into the house, changed, and in bed, upstairs. Here's another one: Put kid number 1 to bed. Come downstairs, play with kid number 2 and 3. Ask kid number 2 if she wants to sleep in your bed for nap time. HOPEFULLY she won't fight it…

My suggestion!
My suggestion for a good workout is drive home with three kids. Have kids fall asleep before getting home. When you get home, RUN into the house and make a full size bed that is the bottom part of a bunk bed. (Anyone who has bunk beds, knows what a pain in the rear this is.) Do it at lightening speed, because, remember,…

Hi!
Hi! My name is Tricia and I live in Minnesota. Summers here are unbearable when you refuse to wear shorts because of your size. I have 3 small children, ages 3, 2, and 11 mths. Keeping up with them is a workout in itself, but it's apparently not enough. I need to do a little more. I'm getting in the workouts I can, so far…
