Rhythmic step is my favorite! I'm choreographically challenged, and I find it very do-able.

I really want to try these. My problem is that most protein powders don't taste good or dissolve well enough. I wonder if this would actually be good.

Oh my! I thought it was just me! I have never in my life experienced such a rough time change. I don't know why this one is so hard. It happens every year. I've overslept for two of my usual 5am workouts and had to do then in the evening which I really don't like. To top it off, even after...

I did this one as soon as my DVDs arrived. It was a serious workout! I only did the standing part which is less than 30 minutes including warm up. I honestly couldn't quite keep up and would usually stop the exercises and just stand a little early on each set. That was mostly because that's all...

When did you all pre order? I waited until near the end of the free slide n glide offer. I ordered about July 20. I do live in Pittsburgh, so they shouldn't take long in the mail. I'm in suspense. :-) I'll have to wait until I get home from work to see if I got them today.

So yesterday was my official weigh-in day, and I lost 1.2 pounds, for a total of 7.4 in 5 weeks! I'm really worried about this week, though, because not only is it that time of month when my weight is naturally higher, but I have two "high calorie events" coming up. Tonight is dinner at a...

Well, I turned my bad day around some. Anyway, here’s a list of everything I ate today with calorie counts. One Oreo Drumstick (300) Two Plain Drumsticks (270 each, 540 total) Some leftover corn (70) A Piece of homemade bread (100) A grilled cheese sandwich (320) A Strawberry...

Where is everybody? Great job on the loss, Shereta! I have good news and bad news. Good news is that I lost 2 lbs last week!! Bad news, the scale was up a pound today, plus I went a little crazy today. I just got some ridiculous cravings for sweets and totally gave in! Yikes!

Hi everyone! Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well and we're all ready for the 4th of July challenge! I prefer setting action goals rather than how much weight I'd like to lose, since that's not directly in my control and my slow rate of loss can be a source of huge frustration for me...

Hi everyone, I've been doing fairly well lately. Wednesday I just barely had time for a 30 minute workout. I did the cardio premix of Drill Max. I was proud of myself for managing to squeeze in a workout even though I really didn't have time. I just had to rush through my shower, didn't dry...

I haven't tried Cathe's nutrition software, so I can't speak to that, although I'm anxious to hear your reviews after you try it. I just wanted to say that I have also tried WW online and SparkPeople (along with many other methods like dailyplate, calorieking, fitday), and wasn't 100% happy with...

Stacy - hang in there! I'm pretty sure we've all been in that situation where we had great intentions and then end up eating so much that we we feel guilty and wish we could take it back. But i think the most important is not to give up. It was only one meal and tomorrow is a new day. Keep doing...

I don't have much time, but I just wanted to pop in to share a non scale victory. I had the usual Tuesday night dinner at a friends house tonight. I was super hungry after my workout and had a big plate of dinner and was completely satisfied. Then out come the brownies. I passed! Didn’t even...

Yes, I've been super annoyed when people rate products on amazon because of something that has NOTHING to do with the product. If I'm reading the reviews, I want to know about the product, not the buyers payment issues or shipping speed or anything like that. I also get annoyed with...

I'm not sure why 2000 calories a day is the recommended amount, but this is way too much for most women, especially those who don't workout regularly. I think this was based on an active male. I find the 2000 rather annoying becuase it's just not close to true.
