New to P90X - help!
My husband I are starting P90x together starting Monday. We are also following the Nutrition plan since I cook anyway, it will give us some new recipes to try. We are starting out with the Classic P90X. I am most scared of eating that many calories! I have struggled with weight all my life and eat around 1400-1700 calories…

Allergy Testing!!!
Since the birth of my second child 3 years ago, I have felt like CRAP! I am tired all the time, have "morning sickness" all the time, and throw up whenever my husband I go out to eat. I saw a doctor, and she said it is because of STRESS since my second child was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Yeah, I am stressed, but I…

Best 30 minutes
I am a full time working mom of 2 boys. My time is limited and I want to make the best of it. I have between 30-45 minutes a day that I can use exercising for ME. I will exercise at night after the boys go to bed, so it would have to either be some type of home machine or home video. I have an eliptical, which helps, but I…

I need Help...
I HATE asking for help, but I think this is the place to ask. I have been here for over a year, although I don't sign in every day. I have tried everything it seems. I have tried low calories 1200, and then up'd it based on stalling out. I up'd it to 1500, which is closer to my BMR. I have tried low carb, which worked, but…

Motivation!
Today is my son's 5th birthday. It is time to get rid of this weight! No more excuses! My other son is 2, so I can't use that for an excuse anymore either. This morning while getting dressed, my son says, "Mommy, you have a big butt." I said, well that means I have to exercise more than doesn't it? He says, "Yeah, so you…

Wowsa!!
I started reading 'Shades of Gray' this week. Wowsa! Funny how this week I have also started working out again, started eating good, and bought myself $100 worth of new lingerie! My husband should be happy. I guess I will take whatever motivation I can get at this point, but never thought it would come from reading a…

Headaches!!
I get headaches a lot...almost everyday. Fortunately, they only get to the point of migraines once in a while. Although I do work a full time job, I don't believe stress is causing them. I have tried more sugar, less sugar, more protein, bananas (was suppose to help). Maybe I am not eating enough? Usually around 1500…

MEN!
What is up with all the men bashing around here today? I happen to love men, all shapes and sizes! (Just because I am married doesn't mean that I am dead - I still enjoy looking!) I have two little "men" of my own. Just want all of you men out there to know that not all women HATE men, but it appears that many of them do…

I LOVE my two little boys!
I have to remind myself everyday that I not only am on this jouney for myself, but for my two little boys at home. They are my motivation. They keep me going. I just wish I had as much energy as them! I know a lot of you feel the same way, so keep your little people in mind. They want to have parents that can keep up with…

Compression Socks?
I get awful shin splints every time I try running. My shins kick my *kitten* far before my lungs or anything else does. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone told me to try compression socks....do these really work?

Eating Clean
I am trying to turn over a new leaf and eat "clean". I have been doing it for about a week now and I really feel the difference. I am not 100%, but doing better each day! I have always known to eat more fruits, more vegetables, whole grains, etc....just didn't ever follow my own advice! I was always eating under my calorie…

Heart Rate?
So, I am fairly new to exercise, and now I love it. I am currently loving my elliptical. However, in order to get a cardio workout to lose fat, what is my heart rate suppose to be? I read lots of things about HRM, but I am clueless. Currently, I just go by the calorie count on my elliptical, which I think is off because I…

Short or Long?
Get your attention?? LOL Looking to cut my long hair off, but I have always been under the impression that long hair was "sexy". I would like to chop it off into a bob cut. Looking to see if anyone has any opinions as to whether or not short hair will make a person look thinner or sexier!

Being a Mom vs. college days
I want to have that ENERGY, FREE SPIRIT, fun loving attitude back that I had in college! Not to mention I was thin and would actually wear a bikini in front of others :ohwell: Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my children and my husband, but there are days that being a Mom is just bland. I do my routine in the morning…

HEADACHES!!!
I have been eating healthy, but obviously not as much as I have in the past. I sometimes get headaches, and I know it is because I am hungry! Then, I eat, and my headache goes away. HOWEVER, when I EAT, I eat a lot and I take a step backwards! But, at the moment in time, the only thing I care about is getting the headache…

Help! I am stuck!
Hi Everyone, I have having trouble with losing weight and I think I am doing everything right!!! So FRUSTRATING!!! I get the whole science of it - calories in vs. calories out. I try to eat right, but there are so many other factors like sugar, salt and carbs! I tried the whole Visalus thing and only lost 1.5 lbs the first…
