Disclaimer: For all the "clean eating" enthusiasts, I promise this is not a glorification of poor eating, nor am I EVER tempted to eat this way again. This is merely for the purpose of sharing "how far we've come" for those of us "newer" to healthy eating! :) Seeing a post from Kaz (who is...

IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!! :) :) :) Honeybunch, There are no words to describe how delicious that chili was! I had to force myself not to have 3rds! I'm trying hard to convince myself not to have it inside an omelet for breakfast this morning, because I plan to revisit it tonight for dinner! (hubby...

I've really come to realize with the help of many of you here that there comes a time when we need to take a realistic look at the facts and accept that "Rome wasn't built in a day!" and neither is the body we want! I get so much more "motivation" from seeing realistic pictures of fit and...

Anybody ever shelve Tae Bo for a few months only to revive it again from your archives? Man oh man! I felt like I was doing intervals! I shelved my Tae Bo "Get Ripped Advanced" videos for a while, just rotated them out after sort of burning out on them a few months ago, and this morning I...

Hi Anna, Diet Swiss Miss is a hot cocoa mix. Each packet makes 6oz. of fat free cocoa when you add hot water, and it's ONLY 25 calories per packet. Most of the time I'll get 2 packets and my tall mug and for 50 calories I have a nice warm "snack" that actually does take my appetite for a few...

Looking for a great crosstraining exercise to do today and/or tomorrow? Thought I'd let you know that 358 calories/hour can be burned by shoveling snow! Those stats are based on a 150lb woman shoveling snow for 1 hour. Not that I'm going out there to do it today, but I thought I'd pass it on...

Yes! I am (as my teenage daughter would say) "putting you out there!" No you did not ask me how much I wanted for that video! PU-LEEZE! All I need is your mailing address and I will happily send it off to you, no payment necessary! :) I believe all videos need a good home, and what home is...

Okay~this will probably be the STUPIDEST post I've ever made, but I am tickled to death about it so.... This morning after my Imax workout and shower I'm standing in the mirror flexing and generally just checking myself out, and for whatever reason, I decided to try for the umpteenth time to...

Hi guys, You'd think I'd be use to this by now but I've got a "new" sort of problem. I started a new rotation last week (extremely heavy lifting) where I upped all my previous weights for both upper and lower body by 5-10# depending on the body part, and I cut back on my cardio (4 days instead...

Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving! :) I was just curious about a statement many of us have made, and I thought I'd ask. (although I have a feeling I'm going to be sorry I did!) :) When we're checking in on the weight loss check-in or just anytime really and one of us says, "I've had a bad eating...

Sorry to flag you out like this but my email is acting up this morning and after I typed up a long a** reply no less! But the jist of my reply was: 1. EXCELLENT on the 35#bb for MIS! :) Stay heavy and as soon as you're feeling like it's not challenging (especially on the lower body), up the...

For anyone who knows the differences between balls, would you be kind enough to give me a few "pre-purchase" guidelines. For instance, are Swiss balls, Thera balls and Stability balls all the same, just different names? I understand about getting a ball according to my height, but am I...

Hi all, You know those contraptions that have been around for ages but called everything under the sun since the 70's or 80's. You loop one end around a doorknob, and 4 cables w/pulleys are attached, and you lie on the floor with your feet in one set of pullies, and each hand in another set...

For those of you that do BodyMax, can you tell me how you manage those lunges (the last circuit) that go off to each side of the step the long way? I use to justify not being able to do them by saying I can't leap up that high, but now that doesn't work! I tried it this am and my legs STILL...

Hi guys, I thought if anyone else was having the withdrawal I was it might be helpful to have a mid-week progress report! :) Tuesday night (day 4 ice cream free) was horrible for me. I felt like I was actually having some sort of real withdrawal symptoms and maybe I was considering the sugar...

Well, for lack of a better name? Okay, it's day 3 ice cream free for me, and it really is a big deal since 2 of those days were the weekend, which use to be the days I did the most damage (calorie wise). Not to mention, and all you die hard clean eaters are gonna want to stone me, EVERY Monday...

Hi guys, I guess this could have waited for our check in on Monday, but I thought I'd ask this now and give you some time to think about it. :) After much thought, and too many weeks of "standing still" on the same number due to "my ice cream thing," I've decided to go "ice cream free" for 6...

Hi guys, While reading and answering a post by Aquajock (scale haters unite) I realized that I still need a lot of work in regards my relationship with food. (this board is saving me millions of $ in therapy!) I'm thinking that if I had to put it in words, my relationship with food is at a...

Your Highness :) I just wanted to tell you that I thought about you this morning while doing PS-CST and pumping out (with difficulty) my 24th push up. While straining and literally shaking to get that last (24th) push up out, my mind shot to you and the thought was, "Damn! What kind of...

Hi Connie, Just wanted to let you know the pictures are on their way. I put the stats that related to the picture on the backs of them. Thanks in advance for your help in "sharing" my progress with the rest of the forum, I really appreciate it. :) Perhaps next year in 2003 we'll update our...
