I am a WW lifetime member. I lost all of my weight 85 pounds using points. After a while, I didn't have to count points because I knew how to balance my foods. I lost my weight before the Core program debuted and lost an additional 8 pounds. So both programs are great. In study after study...

Great photos, as always. I was pleased to see that Cedie was baring her abs! Great job, Cedie. Tamikka htpp://www.geocities.com/mikkame77/weight_loss1

Great work!

Here's something that helps: After you put on your deo, rub your arms against your sides to 'smoosh' the deodorant into your skin. I don't get marks on my shirt anymore. I use Dove. Love that stuff. Tamikka

I love Christi's workouts. I agree that Totally Hot Cardio is so fun. If you are looking for step, Totally Cool Step and Solid Gold Step are great. For a more advanced step workout with killer choreography, Patrick Goudeau's BEST Step. Wow, I still can't get the whole thing and I am pretty...

P90X Wayne -Do you have any friends in an area where they can order it for you? Before I broke my hand, I was able to do 2 chin-ups and 1 pull-up unassisted. I had just finished Phase 1. I wonder where I would be now if I hadn't got hurt. :( Tamikka

Has your weight loss plateaued? If not, keep doing what you are doing until your losses stop. No need to fix something that isn't broken yet. Tamikka http://www.geocities.com/mikkame77/weight_loss1

RE: Pencil Test I believe it's when you can stick a pencil where your glutes and hamstrings meet. If it stays that means that there is fat holding the pencil in place. If not, you're doing well. LOL Tamikka

RE: Anyone a big fan of Christi Taylor's workouts as I ... I think Christi is an awesome instructior with great choreography that gets me excited when I am doing it. I love complex choreography and I think she breaks it down so well. Give it a shot. Tamikka

I am in my 4th week (recovery) and am still loving my workouts. In a month's time, I have gone from 0 to 1.4 pull-ups and 2 chin-ups. I have increased my standard push-ups (on toes) from 22 to 30. I feel that I am throwing harder during my softball games. The X has been a great investment...

Where did you find the new photos? Tamikka

I am doing the Classic/Doubles Rotation (I do some cardio on weight days or when I have extra energy). I would say that weight loss comes mostly from your diet. So, I would suggest doing what feels right to you workout wise and keep tabs on your food intake. I am following Phase 1 eating right...

If you want portability, go with the Door Gym. It is SO easy to assemble and SO easy to mount/remove. It has nice padded handles and doesn't take up much room at all. Tamikka http://www.geocities.com/mikkame77/weight_loss1

Ann, Thanks for the advice on the unassisted downs on the pull-ups. I was so pumped on my first day (yesterday) I almost completed one pull-up!!!! Isn't it funny how excited doing a pull-up can make you feel?! Tamikka

Fitstick, I think that separating the abs from the "meat" of the workout is a great idea. My trainer told me to do abs when you are fresh rather than throwing them in when you are already fatigued. I'll probably use it both ways to see if there is a difference. Tamikka

I am on my second day and it's awesome! I did plyo this morning and my legs are sore! How can I be sore from a cardio workout?! LOL I am glad that Cathe is doing a huge set similar to P90X for those people who do not dare to try a new instructor. :P I will have completed my first round of...

ME TOO! LOL I start my round 1 tomorrow, June 28th! Tamikka http://www.geocities.com/mikkame77/weight_loss1

How long have you been doing this routine (working and softball). I would wait and see how your body responds before making any changes to your current w/o plan. You may have been getting in enough working out to sustain your level of fitness before you added new life activities. Tamikka

I plan on creating my own recovery drink based on the information that they provide in the HOW TO BRING IT DVD. I don't believe that you have to use any of their products to get great results, but I do think it's important to supplement your diet with a good multivitamin/mineral product. I also...

RE: Yet another question on p90X Kathryn, COngratulation on the pikes. This is what I want to experience for myself: results in measurements as well as in performance. Congratulations on completing week 9! Recovery week is due, if I am not mistaken. Woo hoo! Tamikka
