All I keep thinking about when I watch that show is why isn't the woman who hosts the show participating. She looks like she needs to get into a little better shape. It kind of seems hypocritical for her to be judging the contests-she should be joining in! :) I agree with a previous...

Hello everyone! :-) I've been following BFFM dietary guidlelines for a month now and have acutally lost 8 lbs of fat. (And working out like crazy!) Scale weight I've dropped 4.5 lbs. I have been trying everything in my power not to sabatoge myself. I just love to eat sweets and this...

Happy Birthday to you! I'll celebrate right along with you, it's my birthday today too! :-) :-) Hope you have a great one!! :-) :-) :-)

I'm sorry for the loss of your uncle and father. I can sympathize with your feelings. My father recently died, it wasn't as sudden as your father's death, but it still was a shock. Also a "young", healthy, man in the prime of his life struck down. I was there when he died and I am still...

Hi everyone! I had another good week. Lost 3 lbs. on the scale, according to the calipers, 2.79 of was fat. Yea! I'm actually at my prepregancy weight and my son just turned 7 months. After gaining 54lbs with this last pregnancy and having to have a c-section, I'm amazed I lost it this...

I think you could try it for a week and see what happens. What I'm getting out of the BFFM is that each person's body is individual in how it reacts to foods. You may be able to eat the honey and still loose fat, but I think most people need to avoid the blood sugar spike. I eat mine with...

Lost a pound on the scale this week. :-) But when I did the calipers it showed that I lost 4.09 of fat and gained 3.1 in lean mass! Yea! :-) :-) I guess I will continue doing what I'm doing, cycling between 1640 calories on my low day, 2300 on my high day. I've also been trying to do...

It's actually one of the older ones with some of the original Firm instructors. It actually seems like it would be a decent workout, I just can't get over the music! :-) I guess I will continue to stick with Cathe! ;-)

I've noticed that music is very important to a lot of people when working out. I know that it important to help keep me motivated. ;-) I was just curious which exercise videos/dvd's do you really like or really dislike the music on? I bought an old Firm dvd (Super Cardio Mix) a couple of...

Hugs to you, and good luck with your surgery. I have a good friend who was diagnosed at 30 years old. She had no family history, exercised, had a baby before 30, breast fed for a year, in other words had none of the risk factors. I do my SBE every month. Thanks for the reminder.

I use a berber area rug. It's a little bulky, but if you have room you could roll it up. I leave mine out as the kids play and eat on it too! :-)

Not an expert here, but I know you need about 200 calories more a day over your basic caloric intake. You are never supposed to "diet" when your pregnant. I, personally, think eating several small meals with a healthy lean protien, healthy carbs and fat while pregnant is a good thing. (Sure...

Thanks everyone! Some really good ideas. I think I will take it easier for a while until my body adjusts. I was just getting up, quickly getting dressed and putting in Imax 3 when I hurt myself. On my good days I was just getting through this workout, I don't know what I was thinking...

I just started working out early in the morning after reading in BFFM how I can burn more fat this way. (prior to eating breakfast) Anyway, I am not a morning person and have been having a hard time exercising and not injuring myself. Yesterday I fell off the step onto my a** and this morning...

RE: Antidepressants: These drugs are a JOKE!! (ok, rant... I have always been a "worrier" and had a tendency to be anxious about things. I struggled through nursing school mentally (always did very well academically) probably because I went into it for the wrong reasons. I would think long...

Sounds like everyone is doing great! I weighed and measured myself this morning and was very disappointed. No weight loss and acutally gained .75 of fat and lost lean muscle tissue. However, I am hoping that I'm just not that good at using the calipers yet and that I really didn't change from...

Congrats! I've noticed mine has been decreasing also. I've been using Loreal's Sublime Slim (Anti-Cellulite + Smoothing Body Toning Gel) in addition to eating clean and exercising my butt off. So I'm not sure what is really helping. :-) Maybe a combo of everything? ;) I really hope...

I'm not sure how that will work if you are going to run a marathon. Everything I've read states that you need carbs for energy if you are doing intensive running. Not that I'm an expert! ;-) My only experience with Atkins is watching my coworkers on it. They lost a ton of weight (and...

RE: BFFM folks - is this a silly question? Funny! I printed out mine at Kinkos, I thought my Dh was going to have a cow when he saw how much one book cost. (Including the costs to download it!);-) I want to start looking really good to show him it was an expensive but very worth it...

I had followed that thread and recently purchased the book too. I'm really enjoying it :) :) ! I just ordered the Accu-measure caliper, but it hasn't arrived yet. Thanks for the tip, I'm actually learning a lot, and helping confirm what I already knew :7
