Stretching
I exercise daily, but can someone explain to me why I feel the urge to stretch all the time? Especially my upper body. Every morning I use my elliptical machine (it doesn't have the moving handle bars) I just hold on to the sensor bar like I'm suppose to and work the lower body. And then I exercise by videos or walking or…

Is it true?
If one is trying to flatten tummy, build muscle, or tone up that area, or buns or thighs for that matter, is it true that exercise will just cause this to happen or does one need to work that particular area! I've heard both...just curious:huh:

Week # 2....tah dah!!
Announcing.....I lost 2 more lbs this past week!! Today is my weigh-in and I'm expecting a visit from mother nature and low and behold, I still show a 2lb loss. You may think it's crazy to be excited over 4 lbs, but I haven't lost weight in 2 years and it's really VERY motivating for me:love: :heart: :love: Hope you all…

This is SO not me..or is it
Okay...I get home at 4:30, grab a healthy snack on my way out the door to football practice with a 9 yr old who wants to go to Sonic afterwards. I had already logged my calories for the day (including my dinner) so I was pretty much done. Then my son (the 9 yr old who doesn't understand the word diet) puts in on me to eat…

I have to get this back!!
I've been married 19 yrs this last May. I have always been big on wearing my wedding rings ( the band and then the seperate cluster). I remember going to the jeweler to get them cleaned the first time and when he ask me to take my rings off, I wouldn't do it so they cleaned them on my finger (looking back, I wonder what…

Share your reflection! Here's mine...
Today is my 11th day, I've lost 2 lbs (maybe another 1/2 lb, I refuse to weigh yet) but more than anything I would have NEVER thought that I would be so eager about exercising! I have only taken one day off during these days and am approaching another "resting" day, but I woke up this morning and was ready to get on my…

was I rude?
Okay, I've been doing really good for this first week on my journey and I'm so excited to be actually looking forward to exercising on a daily basis! Well, I get home last night and I had already made up my mind that my evening was going to be like this: walk in the door, get the supper going, throw in a load of laundry…

Chef Salad and calories
I went out for lunch with hubby and we go to this little home town resturaunt and I ordered a Chef Salad. It was HUGE! I bet it was probably 3 1/2 cups worth- the closest calorie count I could come up with is around 280 not counting the dressing. I added my own dressing and didn't use the whole thing. Does this sound right?

First Weigh-in since I started
Well, this morning marks the first completed week of good choices/exercise! I stepped on the scale and whoo hooo....I was down 2lbs! Now if I can lose 2 more I will break through the 180's. I'm working hard for week 2. I'm beginning to:love: myself already!!

I finally have identity!!!
Yes, I love dachshunds!! My pennygirl looks just like this without the glasses and she's much more intelligent looking than anything I could upload of myself! Seriously, I will try to get a self portrait to replace this in a few days, but until then.....I'm watching you:happy:

Turbo Jam vs. Turbo Jam Max
okay, I've been hovering all over beachbody.com and I see the videos for Turbo Jam workouts; however, are there two different ones or just the Turbo Jam Max b/c when I go to order I don't see anything for just plain Turbo Jam. I don't mind to get the Max, but would kinda like to try it out before spending all that money!…

Looking for a dance/cardio/fun music/video
I love working out to music! I like upbeat tunes with intermediate moves that will work the whole body! Any suggestions? I'm also one short on time- I try to do more on the weekends, but through the week unless I get lucky, I stick around 30 min or so.

question about recording food
With my crazy schedule, I log all my food up until dinner. And although I keep track of it, I don't get to the computer to log it until the next morning. I've noticed that I can record it, but the little green clickie that says record this for the day and then it tells you if every day were like today, you'll weigh ?? by…

my dilema is somewhat different
I'm really excited about being on track since last Wed (almost a week, go me:noway: ) Well, here's the deal, I worked out hard Wed, Thurs, & Fri (burning around 500 cal/day) and eating back my calories and all that...was SO sore, took a break from exercise on Sat, but still counted calories. On Sunday, I eagerly got in the…

Baby steps!
Hey everyone! I just wanted to post and share my joy that I took in only the calories I was allowed for yesterday, I walked 30 min up and down hills, and I'm just so happy about that! My goal is to reach 185 by Nov 13 (my birthday) that's 8lbs and I hope I can do it. Once I made the step out the door for the walk, I felt…

How do you do it?
okay, i'm struggling with sticking to anything! I love to walk, so I chose that to get started, but even at that, I don't walk everyday (maybe 2 x week) I have an elliptical machine, videos and everything I need to be set up, but I just can't get started. I like what someone said about a goal of one lb! Maybe that's what I…

A new way of thinking
I've only posted here a few times (3 or 4), but I feel really encouraged after reading some of your success stories! I'm starting today with my beginning weight of 193.5 with a new way of thinking. I'm scared to join in any challenges right now, but I'm going to challenge myself to keep thinking positive which includes…

So glad to be here!
Greetings everyone! I am so glad that I found this site! I need to lose about 40lbs, but I have set my goals 5lbs at a time. At best I can figure, I should be there by April of next year! I tend to struggle because of my busy schedule with 3 kids in sports (on the run all the time) and grabbing food at the local fast food…
