I've only done this tape once and I guess I was just disappointed that it was tough doing the moves with paper plates on carpeting. The moves looked neat, but it just didn't feel right doing them on carpet. So I missed a bunch of moves. Some of the other moves didn't seem to do much- I may be...

I got the WW at-home kit for $99.00 and it's nice. It comes with all the info you'll need, like a points calculator, restaurant points, etc. It comes with a 30-day guarantee so you could always try it. They also have a payment plan.

I just did Strength Express w/ Mindy Mylrea and was wondering if anyone else has it. I wanted to hear your opinions on it. Thanks

That's where I feel it too. I also do the outer thigh machine which hits that area. The other posts are right, you may also want to lose fat to see any change in that area since it can be a tough area to change (but changes can be made!) As for the question from the other post, saddlebags are...

I agree that those imfommercial Firms are not for advanced exercisers. Any good reviews these tapes have received are from beginners/intermediates. I think you'd be disappointed. Again, check reviews for specific videos and start with one (not a set) to see if you like it since the tapes are...

I have a few Firm tapes. I like the "5-day abs" a lot. I got "Super Cardio", which is fairly new (and can be found for under $15). Some of the instructors in this video actually have athletic bodies, unlike the older Firms where everyone looks like thin fitness models. This tape is fun to do...

nutritionists... I also LOVE sweets (and anything carby or fried). It got to the point where I was just eating so much junk. I'd sometimes eat candy all morning, then get a value meal for lunch. I felt awful. So I went to a nutritionist. She wasn't extreme and didn't expect me to give up...

I got the WW Kit! I got my WW At-home kit today. I thought it'd be a little box, but it was pretty big. It's like opening a big present (although once I start the program I won't be as excited!) It's nicely packaged and comes with a lot of stuff which is listed on their website. If you join...

They give you a neat little scale where you line up the amt of cals, fat and fiber and it tells you the points. ex: 1 slice of regular bread is 2 pts 1 slice of highfiber bread is 1 pt Sometimes it can be frustrating and annoying if your fave foods don't have much fiber because fiber is a...

I just ordered the At Home plan on weightwatchers.com. It's $99 and comes with a lot of things. I think I'll like this plan better than the original plan, because I wouldn't go to meetings. Plus, you get all of the things at once. If you sign up through meetings, you go step-by-step and learn...

Anna, Macrobiotic diets are very strict- they have you eat certain percentages of whole grains and cereals, beans and veggies. You can sometimes have fish, nuts and seasonal fruits. You are not to have anything processed, like sugar or flour, dairy, poultry, meat or eggs. I'm sure there are...

If you were just trying to tone your butt (and legs too), would you choose squats or lunges? I know both are great, I'm just thinking of time constraints. I only do leg work 1-2x's a week since I do cardio that really uses the legs, plus I'm short so my thighs can look bulky. Are there any...

I know- the interupting thing stinks! People who don't workout don't realize the main reason to do cardio is to keep the HR up! So they're chatting like it's no big deal and the whole time I'm like "oh my gosh, my HR is going down to where it was when I started!" I don't have any weird quirks-...

I saw pics of her from her movie Swept Away. She definately has an athletic boy-type figure (no hips!). I heard they wanted her to lose some of the muscle since she looked a tad too muscley (not sure if she did). I guess if we had a chef making us macrobiotic meals (which is what she's on- very...

I tried joining the points plan last year and I was in my ideal weight range so I couldn't join- and the weight range went up much higher than I would think is healthy for me. But my mom joined and I think it's a neat plan IF you stick with it. She signed up for this $99 plan and you get more...

I remember reading that you shouldn't eat more than 500 calories per meal since you're body can't process much more than that. No idea if this is true or not!

Don't worry about it! I understand everything you just said- you post something without thinking it's a mean thing, but it gets blown out of proportion. It's happened to me- people just interpret things differently. This is a place where everyone has their opinions and should feel free to...

Another question... Hi Donna, 2 more questions for you: So do you only get one point for 40 minutes of exercise?? Do you know if the exercise can be weights too? Or is it just cardio? Thanks!!!!

Does anyone know about how many points you get for exercising on the points plan? I signed up for the plan last year but never went to the meetings so I never got info on this. Thanks!

1. Intense Moves 2. Extreme Intervals + Pump Party (Mindy Mylrea) 3. Kathy Smith- I forget what it's called, but it's a year old and consists of 2 cardio cycles with weights after each cycle.
