I get this too. Sometimes the area just feels fatigued and tired. Sometimes, I even stop because of it.

I too am searching for this balance! I haven't found it yet, but I think it's out there. I find that if I focus on being healthy and not a certain number or size I do better. Otherwise, I obsess and it too much mental time and energy. I just want to be free from thinking/worrying about...

Thanks ladies! Emily, very helpful and had me laughing! "and when you're just about to throw-up check your HRM" I've been there and I hate this feeling. I estimated my max HR using two sub-max tests that were listed with the HRM instruction booklet. I calculated two different ranges, one...

My above post was not supposed to be posted in this thread. I'm not sure how it got here? Sorry

At my grocery corn just increased from 10 ears for $2 to ($.20 ea) to 2 ears for $1. And the soy milk I buy is $7.38 per gallon. Everything is going up in price! I think that it is costly to eat healthy, but I try to take shortcuts here and there. In the end, it's worth every penny though.

I need your opinion! I just wore my new HRM for the first time on a run yesterday morning. It's one with the chest strap. I ran about 2.5 extremely hilly miles. The HRM said that burned 571 calories. I would love for this to be true, but it seems too high. I've always estimated about...

I just got a HRM for my birthday and I haven't really gotten used to all the bells and whistles yet...but I LOVE IT! I went for a run this morning and was so impressed with it. It made the run seem so easy because of the cool gadget on my arm! I only ran 2.5 miles (or so), but my road is...

Sugar free chocolate pudding with cool whip! Or yogurt mixed with vanilla protein powder, cut up fruit, and cool whip! Yumm! I'm actually eating that right now as my pre-workout snack!

I have received Collage Video catalog for quite some time before I decided to order. My first purchase way KM. I had NO idea who Cathe was and what this purchase would start! I liked KM a lot, but I LOVED Cathe and thought that she was a great instructor. My next purchase shortly there after...

I bought some new protein powder and added it to my oatmeal yesterday morning. I bought Jay Rob's egg white protein powder (love it BTW, great flavor, smooth, mixes well). Anyway, I added the powder then microwaved it....the protein powder actually cooked, just like eggs would. My oatmeal was...

I didn't like the vanilla or the chocolate. I thought they both had the worst taste of any protein powder ever. It was torture that drink these. I have recently discovered Jay Rob protein powder and I think that these have the smoothest taste of any protein powder I've ever tried. They mix...

Perhaps you are gaining muscle? Or, if you are lifting heavier, you could be holding extra water in the muscles. How long have you been working out with Cathe? Any other changes in diet/exercise? Sorry, about your hubby, I don't have any advice on that one, but I feel for you.

RE: building muscle (yay) but not losing fat (ugh)-Help... I think the smell that you are referring to is from ketoacidosis. Your body will use this process to turn fat into a usable energy source (the brain can only function off of glucose, the easiest way for the body to get glucose is...

RE: building muscle (yay) but not losing fat (ugh)-Help... I'm with ya on the Spanx. I have a pair and will definitely be shimmying into them! Hopefully, with my intensified efforts and the help of Spanx all will work and look fine.

I would say that I fall into this category and I feel this is why I have a hard time getting rid of some extra lbs. I used to exercise much much more moderately, but was more active the rest of the day. Now, I exercise very intensely and am more sedentary the rest of the day. I may stronger...

Great job LauraMax! Keep up the good work. I've recently discovered edamame and I love it! A great snack!

I thought this one really stank. Where did the alien stuff come from? Not my cup of tea! Too out there for me. I'm sorry I spent my money on this one.

I really appreciate all the advice ladies! It seems that cutting the carbs is a must at least temporarily! I'd really like the dress to have a little room in it!

LauraMax, it is all very confusing and sometimes the more I read and learn, the more frustrated I become. And then you read things about doing less cardio more weights, cardio burning muscles, etc, and I want to pull my hair out! And I also enjoy lifting heavy, but I do not enjoy my clothes...

I was thinking along the same lines-go with circuits, lighter weights. And you are totally right about increasing calorie expenditure during the day. And I am trying to limit carbs. This one is hard for me, but rather than saying "limiting carbs" I say "eating the good carbs". And, I've been...
