My kids TV & movies ebay and WORKING OUT!

My Mom (Mary-53) and I (Amy-33) are working out this year more than ever to get back to ourselves. We both live in Ohio but about 80 miles apart. We get together on the weekends and talk/e-mail daily. We are very close and I am hoping we can inspire each other to get back to our goal weights this year and stay there!

Amy has been about 30 lbs over goal for the past 10 years. After having my daughter, Alyson I became more active and got close to goal but got pregnant again. After having my son, Teddy, in 2005 I did reach goal in Feb. 2006...but I didn't keep my eating & portion sizes under control so here I am again with 35 lbs to lose.
I think my Mom & I are going to win because when we put our minds to it, we can get anything done!

Biggest Loser Power Sculpt All 3 trainers are here just like in the Cardio and it doesn't take long before they start making you sweat! The great thing with this DVD is you can pick your poison with a 20 minute level 1, 10 minute level 2 and 10 minute level 3 sculpt workout.

Biggest Loser Cardio Max Bob leads a bootcamp segment where you can do the moves with or without weights to make it tougher if you want. Jillian doesn't mess around with her high intensity drills. They are tough, but stick to it for a while and it will get easier.

All 5 Biggest Winner Workouts with Jillian Michaels keeps your body moving (though she herself skips out on half the exercises) with hammer curls, oblique raises, step ups, planks, and a move called The Superman destined to tone your back, biceps glutes, hamstrings and abs.

Get Ripped 1000 with Jari Love It's a great interval workout using step and then weights. You alternate tough repetition body sculpting moves with step for your cardio (it's not too dancy but very challenging). This makes it more effective for fitness training and weight loss.

Our Personal Tips

We hope these help us all stay on track!


Don't be an obsessive scale hopper. Weight fluctuates from hour to hour & day to day. Jumping on the scale too often can become frustrating & get in the way of you seeing your overall progress. Be sure to focus on the non-scale changes, such as how your clothing fits & compliments you get!

My person Quote on the subject I weighed myself today and I am up 2 lbs BUT it is because I had soup for lunch & dinner! (And some crackers) I know I am retaining water. I had to remind myself not to get discouraged!

Please make one and mail by March 12, that they pick many contestants by just their videos alone. While waiting in line we took many pictures of other couples trying out too.

Amy's Personal Goals


1. Workout Daily I plan on doing atleast 30-45 min of cardio each day

2. Stop Eating Fast Food This is one of the Hardest things for me...I think I was addicted.....

3. Stop Eating After Everyone goes to bed I always sneak eat when everyone else has gone to bed...so I don't have to share! Popcorn is my favorite with spray butter...a little is ok, but I over do it!

4. Tell my friends NO When I go to work everyone tries to get me to eat mall food-Auntie Annies Pretzels or Ice Cream. Vending machine is off limits too!

5. STOP WEIGHING MYSELF DAILY I have a BAD habit of doing this...and then get disappointed when it goes up a little...or encouraged to eat junk when I fall off the wagon and my weigh somehow goes down.....

Please sign this petition in order to demand legislation to help curb the obesity problem.


Demand that restaurants should be required to provide nutritional information to customers. By forcing restaurants to provide their nutritional information, health-concious citizens can make better choices in their diets. This is not just a vanity issue; it is a health issue. Obesity is killing countless Americans.

Hello Again to Motivation

I cannot believe it has been a MONTH since I have been on here. I am been in a downward sprial since then and back up to 191. OUCH! I got Jillians 30 day Shred video and it is an AWESOME workout! This is my 2nd day...She just kicked my A double S AGAIN....I feel good but my arms are weak...I am tired and hungry now. I will be in shape in no time with these workouts!! I am feeling motivated AGAIN. Hope it lasts this time. The sun sure does help!!!

My Mom is MIA due to working 50+ hours a week. After she sees me back into the groove she will be too. I wanted to got to the BL Finale but my efforts were not there. I will be at goal by the end of summer (I hope).

I'm BAAAAACKKKKKKK (again)

Boy, I keep slacking off...I could have been half way to my goal weight by now. I hate to think of it that way but it's true. I am back up again. Stopped going to WW because of my daughters cheerleading. SO I am on my own...kind-of my best friend is a personal trainer and I am checking in with her daily. I feel so guilty when I have to tell her I haven't been working out and I am back up the 7lbs I lost. D'oh!

TOday I have done the 3 miles with Leslie and POWER SCULPT with Jillian. My legs are shakey and weak now....thanks Jillian! Wink

I'm Back AGAIN

Well, I was doing really well until my husband brought Taco Bell home and I wasn't even hungry but I ate it anyway and it's been down hill ever since. (You don't want to know what I ate this week so far) I woke up this morning determined to get back on track again. I started my day off with a Zone Bar and a glass of water. I was up to 186 yesterday. I have walked 70 miles this year but because of my eating seemed to have gotten no where..........
