It was alot of fun though and I felt great after I was done even though I wanted to give up halfway through it. The only problem is sweets, ive been alot better lol.. but I think I just need to realize how unimportant they are.. it's been especially bad this week too, cuz well iits my time of the month really soon, and you know what that really bites.. cuz I always gain like 5 lbs the week before, and guess what this is the week! hehe for all you girls.. doesn't that fit wonderfully with the fact the ...

Oh well.. I'm still gonna do my best and I know the end results are worth it, and Im gonna have fun at that dance... with my date :-P.. hehehe (I can't get used to saying that) well anyways good luck this week everyone, and when you start to lose your motivation and reach for something unhealthy come to this website and look at these posts and see how many people are supporting you! Thank you guys for all your support, a good goal for this week that you might wanna try... only eat 100 grams of carbs a day.. check out lables.. believe me carbs are in many things I never even would have thought.. Oh and I found the greatest drink thats low on cal/fat/carbs and is great for winter weather! Swiss Miss (i cant remember if this is the correct spelling) makes Diet hot chocolate.. 25 calories, 0 fat, and only 4 grams of carb, add hot water or skim milk and you have a healthy yummy treat for those of you with a sweet tooth.. hehe well bubeyes everyone. God Bless! Luv always, *MaNdY* (view less)

I've been doing 100 crunches a night (more if I feel like it) for the past 3 weeks, I only missed one night, but it was just because I did weight lifting and I felt like hula-hooping (it can help you just a bit if you want to lost weight,but you have to do it ALOT, I find it to be more fun that alot of other exercises thought.) Anyways, with the crunches I've been doing, they can help you get more toned, my stomach of course has "blubber" on it, lol, but I can see a bit of a difference in how my stomach muscles look, just a little bit though, you have to do them for a really really long time to get really good results, if you have to lose weight, then you will notice the difference more once you lose a bit of the weight but I'd say they're working pretty good for me!

You can play DDR on any Play Station, a computer, or an x-box. not only a ps2. I usually play at the arcades, but i have it on the psx and the computer. if you want a free version download Step Mania, its the same thing but its free. Good pads are about $50 each (mine are over 100 each but they are metal). Some games actually have a "workout mode" which keeps track of calories burned and is impossible to fail. IM me at sheikiansheik if you want to talk.
BTW if anyone can do Legend of Max on Heavy then you rule

Dance Dance Revolution is a game for playstation 2. You buy a dance pad that has a forward, back, left, and right arrow on it. You stand in the middle and when you play the game, it tells you what arrow to step on and it goes with the music. It can get pretty intense. A dance pad costs about 30 bucks at walmart, and the game itself is the same price as any regualr ps2 game.

I went to The Firm's website a while ago after seeing how many of you use it and have had results with it. Well, it looks alot like a woman/girl kind of video, and I'm, well, not one of those 2. So, anyone know any other things like The Firm that guys could use, or is The Firm alright?

hi. i'm 5'4" also, but i'm 132lbs...trying to get to 115lbs. exercise doesn't have to be a bore...try swimming, basketball, tennis, soccer, etc...or if you are interested in doing exercise videos i recommend taebo, walk away the lbs, pilates, or maybe try a dancing video like darrins dance grooves or something. and if you eat pizza...blot up the extra grease with a napkin or paper towel.

Anne, yeh, I have been excerciseing abit but not everyday, so i'll try to do that! and how much water do you think I should be drinking each day? I weigh about 182lbs by the way. How do you guys fit so much excersise into your day! I always seem so busy, but im going to try and find more time for it :)

Yeah, I know your problem. I am trying to get more toned, and don't have time either. Try simple things, like using stairs in stead of the elevator, and park farther away from a store so you have to walk a bit farther.
Also, when you have one spare minute, and stairs in your home, just walk up and down them once. It takes a really short time, and after a while it will get easier and you can do it faster. Then, bump it up to two times.

this sounds kind of decieving but split you workout into 1/3 and 2/3's. spend the one third of the time with her- maybe you guys could do weight lifting or something or just deal with the running till she gets better. use the other 2/3's to exersize by yourself and don't tell her. good luck!

Chellie, The firm only costs like 15 bucks for just one video. they try to sell you the stair step, and bar and other stuff. I have a video and i just use a chair, stool, and a broomstick. Is Jay's book good? what does he suggest? -Emily

Hey yaz, if you have tried tae-bo, please reply to this:How long did it take you to see and feel results? How much weight have you lost? How much have you toned up?If you know this....How many inches have you lost?also.......What tae-bo did you use? (e.g. beginner,advanced)Thanks so much if you reply to any of these questions!~Britt

i used the 30 min. live tape. the advanced tape and the other regular 30 minute workout and more tapes. i've lost 18 pounds in 4 months but i would and could have lost more if i was more consistant with it. i could feel myself becoming more fit before and visable results but i've lost quite a few inches and i'm much stronger. my arms look great and my thighs have slimmed down- some with my waist. the only thing that's annoying is my lower stomach- but it'll dissappear oon enough i suppose. i've been a lot more consistant lately and am getting better results so tae-bo definately rocks! oh and i love the taebo two 8 min. workout also because if you don't have much tme it really gets your heart rate up- i want the rest of the taebo two series...oh and taebo abs and glutes is great also but you have to do it slower then they do it untill you know you won't hurt yourself. good luck!

That is definitely possible! I really suggest that you buy some of THE FIRM tapes. They work so great. I have lost 24 pounds in a month and a half. I am soooo excited and I want to recommend these tapes to absolutely everyone who ever wanted to lose weight without dieting.

Hey. I'm way up north in Minnesota, and we already have snow, so it's kind of impossible to be running outside. We just moved right in front of a track, convinently, but it's a little chilly to be using it! What are some good excercises that I could be doing inside? When we go back to the other house, I am going to grab the tae-bo tape, and do that for 15-20 minutes every morning before school, if I can manage getting up an extra half hour early ;o) Any other tips on how I can lose 30 lbs by March?
