yup. I have 100's of pilates dvds and one of those single person trampolines.i find it less boring than walking on my treadmill. i usually do it with light weights too.

 As soosn as i replied to your post, i searched on indoor trampolines, which led me to mini trampolinies and now i have already placed an order on the mini athletics trampoline at walmart and am eagerly wiating for it to come.

Girlfighting 27, you have been a great help and motivations.

Thanks a TON!

 aww! thanks. the trampoline is so much fun.  For an extra hard work out try and jump "down." Basically you wanna try and make the trampoline surface go down without making yourself bounce up, it really works your legs. And since you're not pounding your body into anything hard it really easy on your joints. 

Oh and when i'm not using the trampoline it fits perfectly under my bed!

 Great I will try that.Actually my knees are always giving me problem and i eblive this exercise is low impact.I am really looking forward to this.

My only concern is , if my son (2.5) will ever give me a chance once he sees this.

He loves jumping and takes out his energy on a spare mattress with box spring.

What else is happening?

Earlier i used to keep my own food journal.

Now for the past few days i have started using cc's jopurnal and WOW!

I love the analysis and i try fiting in more fiber and more protein seeing the results.

Hopefully it will help me get back into the routine.

How is it done usually?

redsee sorry to hear about ur job.

Hi  angelas00,

We are all here to keep u motivated :-)

I have been stuck at my weight fro one month(210) and i want to get out of 200's so desperately.

I feel i was overestimating teh calorie burned and so consuming more.now trying to restrcit to 1600.

Lets see.

btwn what is ur daily calorie limit?

stahly111,

I also started at 221 and now stuck at 209 for more than a month!.

hmm its very similar.

I was eating in the same caloric range as u.

i upped it, to2500 nothing great happened.

so i am getting it down to 1600 or so.

will keep u posted.

I second u nicolep91.

Posting here is defenitely motivating .Accoun ting for my menu and reading everyones is helping me to each much healthier.

Here goes mine

Breakfast:Egg white omlette with veggies and salsa and an engluish muffin, cappuchino with decaffinated coffee

lunch: 1/2 tuna sald sandwich on 12 grain+salad(lettuce, kidney beans, channa , cucumbers, pineppale, 1 tbsp ranch+4-5 croutons)

Snack - i made some smoothie yesterday and froze the rest in a container.so i have that with me(added banana, aple, raspberry, strawberry and mango)-yeah u got it right i was trying to finsih off the fruits left, so that i cud get more today wehn i go for my weekly shopping:-) )

and i have an apple with me.

Dinner - I might either grill some fish or make a fish biriyani.

Monday is the wiegh in day yay!

if they have south indian on their menu, then u can go for idli and sambar and avoid the coconut chutney.And chappathi or phulka ( is the name i beleive for rotis without any oil) with channa masala, rajma(red kidney beans) are good options.

Paneer is high in calories.Vegetable kurma has cocounut but still its not too bad.dal in most forms except the deep fried vada is healthy.

Hi Friends,

I just saw this site with lot of healthy recipies.

http://health.discovery.com/national-body-cha llenge/recipes/

What do you think?I cook mostly our traditional food, so i am not an expert to judge on the taste  by looking at the ingredients.

Hope this helps!

hi karmavb30,

how does the omega3 and 6 opills taste?

Two weeks back I read it on one site (i guess webmd) that omega3 helps in increasing metabolisma dn so its good to have more fish in your diet.

Since then i try to include grilled fish in my diet.i i love the taste ,and wud like to increase the omega3 so considering takinga pill.

Would you mind sharing ur experience?

My weight loss is pretty slow.Also by the defentions given on the site i fall in the light active category.But when i log the individual activities it goes up to 3000-3600.

Anyone facing this disparity/and the amx i exercise a day is 25-45 minutes walk.
