Thank you all SOOO  much for all of your responses! I did it for a min yesterday and  a min today just the reg plank and after about 20 secs I am already dying and my lower abs are pretty weak already today....  I guess that is a good thing :)

thanks again!

I have tried it for about 2 weeks and the only thing that it made smaller was my boobs! Don't waste your money, hope this helps!

Hey thanks I am glad to know that you are doing that too. are you getting any good results?

Thanks everyone!n I will try and keep in down!  I am not sure that I could go without....then comes the binges.

Thanks again,

Amy

Hey just wanted to share...  just found a new Kashi bar ,dark chocolate coconut I think? It is SOOOOOO yummy! Just like a mounds candy bar and only 7 grams of sugar! LOVE Kashi so much!

hi everyone! I am so glad to hear that you all are intrested in Tai Chi! I am actually a certified tai chi for arthritis instructor. I work at my local senior center and teach 3 beginning and 1 advanced Tai Chi for arthritis classes there. My seniors LOVE it!!! It is no impact and gives them such great strength training and balance. I don't only have seniors that come people as young as 20 have taken my class. I am 25 and teach it with a passion. I live in Missouri and teach several classes in my area but I am sure that you won't be able to make those :) so I will recommend a DVD that my class uses for practice and was made by the master trainer of the program Dr. Paul Lam. It is a great DVD, you can find it at Taichiproductions.com and the one that I love is the one for arthritis. There are lots of different forms, but this one seems easy enough to learn and still gives such great benefits!!! Hope you enjoy!

does anyone have uncle wally's smart portion muffins at their wal mart or grocery store? mine use to have them then one day just like that ...gone! I love them! They have blueberry, bannana nut and chocolate brownies! They come in single serve packages and are the same size as you would make at home for 80 cals I think and 3 or 4 grams of fiber and protein each. You should try them if you can find them, and if you do please let me know where to get them!!!! I miss them so much, they are moist and sweet and convient without the sacrafice of high cals and fat they are only 1.5 grams of fat per muffin too!

Thanks and enjoy if you find them,

Amy

hi,

I just completed my 8th workout, i try to do every other day or 3 times a week. It still kills me and I alternate between 1 and 3 depending on my energy level. On my off days I do the elliptical some and it seems to be working for the most part. I know that it isn't hurting anything!!! I seem to try and actually keep my cals around 1400 or so and have been doing a decent job. The workout kicks my butt and it is great inspiration to watch my diet, I tell myself you are kicking your butt when your working out why would you want to mess up that progress by eating that ...cookie,brownie, whatever... so far I have done pretty good and even though I am not home right now and able to use my own scale i feel that I have lost a little or maybe just toned up a little my clothes seem to fit differently. Maybe its all in my head??? who knows but it is great motivation to keep on going!!!! Good luck to you all!!!

thanks, i love the mini quiche idea! Any other ideas anyone?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Well, as of this morning I was at 112.2 YAY!!!! However, it is thanksgiving today and I will be thrilled to just eat at maintance. I am not going to way again unitll sunday and I  hope I am down a little more by then....we will see! Good luck to you all today!

Thank you both for the great info! The online stuff I got said to do it every other day, is every day ok? Do you do it really slow? I have a hard time making just those 7 moves last for 10 mins like it suppose to. I would love to buy the dvd, how much long is it? How about you cellulite? I don;t have a ton but quiet a bit for my size, I hope that this works for that!!!

Tina, are you from Missouri? Just checking, I am and noticed that your name was sexybuttmo, love that by the way, I am hoping that will be what people are calling me soon! :)

Thanks again,

Amy

Hello!

Well,I did great eating sat and sun and then this morning....aaaaaaaaah I work at a senior center and there are a ton of homeade delcious goodies around there now that are so hard to pass up. I ended up eating 15 doughnut holes just to get on here and realize that they are 52 cals  a peice!!!! OUCh! Anyway, I am headed to the elliptical now to try and salvage my morning food weakness! I plan on weighing in on wednesday, right?

Take care!
