To be completely honest not our best week as a group. I don't know if it was all those liquid calories on St. Patrick's day or we're just getting lost in the month.
Though some people did really good. I even got a message from someone that they reached their goal! Yay!!!
Keep your eye on your goal. You still have time to end the month strong. We have 2 more weigh ins for the month. Our last weigh in will be April 1st (I'm not joking ;) ) And next months game will start that day too.

Happy Valentines Day! I know the temptation is BIG today! Go ahead and treat yourself to a few extra calories today. But be reasonable! You don't want to feel crappy about it tomorrow. Just Sayin

For weight loss as a total, not our best week, we lost 5.8lbs. But I did have some people report little or no weight loss but the noticed inches coming off. And really - isn't that why we want to lose the weight, to lose the inches!! :) I always recommend taking measurements with your weight or at least once a month. Nothing more exciting than seeing that tape measure come in a little more

I know it's getting harder for people this month. But set a goal and go for it. It doesn't have to be a big goal - it can be to just not gain weight this month or lose 2/3 pounds this month.
Less than a week before Christmas. This is your week to push really hard to help with all the Christmas food. You can do it!!

Workout reviews (updated)

2010-12-02T09:46:00.000-08:00

I've had a couple people asking about different workouts. So here is a little blip about my favorites or the ones that have impressed me the most.

Beginner – Intermediate

Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred – is a great beginner workout. Very basic, easy to understand, no coordination needed. It’s set up as a 30 day straight circuit training workout, and runs about 30 minutes. Strength, cardio, abs. Really good starter workout, you will hurt. But after 1 or 2 months I got bored with it. And was ready to move on to something else.

Turbo Jam – Love this workout! It’s kickboxing and dancing rolled up in one. Fun music, cool moves. And there are lots of different Turbo Jam workouts – so you’re able to mix it up. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Power 90 – Good workout, very straight forward. Fat burning and total-body sculpting focused on abs, thighs, and upper body. This was actually the first workout DVD I bought almost 10 years ago. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

ChaLEAN Extreme – I’m currently doing this one. After doing Insanity it was hard to do something that made you go this slow. But once I got use to it, I really started to enjoy this program. I think one of my favorite things about this program is finding out how strong I am! Also, I have some friends have amazing transformations with this program. I think this one can take you from beginner to a strong intermediate. You burn fat, build lean muscle. It’s a fact: The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn. You can lose up to 60% of your body fat in just 3 months To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Intermediate – Advanced

Turbo Fire – From the same creator as Turbo Jam. This is less dancy, and will push you much harder. This actually can be used as a starter program too, they have a modifier in all the DVD’s to start someone out with until they are ready to move to the advanced moves. You can burn up to 9x more fat than with regular cardio doing TurboFire. Featuring High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), these 12 workout classes make you sweat with the hottest music and moves. I’ve done a few of the workouts… Chalene will push you! I’m totally amazed what Chalene can do to you in 15 minutes. If you want to see fast results and are will to give it all your got Turbo Fire is the way to go! To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Insanity – OMG! This workout is not for everyone! It is so hard! It will push you harder than you thought possible. And you will see results if you are willing to push through it! Almost every day while doing the workout I would say to myself… WHY AM I DOING THIS? But then you see the results and see how much better you get and you know why. For me it’s a love hate relationship, but I did lose 15lbs and 10 inches doing this program! To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

P90X – this is an extreme home fitness training system that contains 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workout DVDs, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. I haven’t tried this one yet. I should have more to say on it soon. My husband is planning on doing it. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

*Lots of beginners do use the intermediate – advanced workouts, they just modify them and do what they can until they can do the full version.

~If there is a workout you'd like me to take a look at and review let me know!

Fit Tip

2010-08-18T09:21:00.000-07:00

If you want to really define and tone your arms, as well as your whole upper body, push-ups can be your best friend! If you're not doing them as part of your overall workout regimen, see if you can add a few in every week. It's a great, and portable, exercise to tone and strenghten your upper body and even your core!

Fit Tip

When counting calories, it can be a guessing game unless you have a method of tracking and measuring. When in doubt, look it up!!! And write down what you eat each day. You will be amazed at the little things that can sneak in without you hardly noticing!

Workout reviews

2010-07-23T11:50:00.000-07:00

I've had a couple people asking about different workouts. So here is a little blip about my favorites or the ones that have impressed me the most.

Beginner – Intermediate

Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred – is a great beginner workout. Very basic, easy to understand, no coordination needed. It’s set up as a 30 day straight circuit training workout, and runs about 30 minutes. Strength, cardio, abs. Really good starter workout, you will hurt. But after 1 or 2 months I got bored with it. And was ready to move on to something else.

Turbo Jam – Love this workout! It’s kickboxing and dancing rolled up in one. Fun music, cool moves. And there are lots of different Turbo Jam workouts – so you’re able to mix it up. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Power 90 – Good workout, very straight forward. Fat burning and total-body sculpting focused on abs, thighs, and upper body. This was actually the first workout DVD I bought almost 10 years ago. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

ChaLEAN Extreme – This one I haven’t done, but I know people who have and I’m crazy impressed with it. I think this one can take you from beginner to a strong intermediate. You burn fat, build lean muscle. It’s a fact: The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn. You can lose up to 60% of your body fat in just 3 months To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Intermediate – Advanced

Turbo Fire – From the same creator as Turbo Jam. This is less dancy, and will push you much harder. This actually can be used as a starter program too, they have a modifier in all the DVD’s to start someone out with until they are ready to move to the advanced moves. You can burn up to 9x more fat than with regular cardio doing TurboFire. Featuring High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), these 12 workout classes make you sweat with the hottest music and moves. (I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m thinking this will be the next one I try after my half marathon – it looks so cool!) To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

Insanity – OMG! This workout is not for everyone! It is so hard! It will push you harder than you thought possible. And you will see results if you are willing to push through it! Almost every day while doing the workout I would say to myself… WHY AM I DOING THIS? But then you see the results and see how much better you get and you know why. For me it’s a love hate relationship. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

P90X – this is an extreme home fitness training system that contains 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workout DVDs, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. I haven’t tried this one yet. I should have more to say on it soon. My husband is planning on doing it. To see a video on what the workout is like check out www.kellysbelly.com

*Lots of beginners do use the intermediate – advanced workouts, they just modify them and do what they can until they can do the full version.

Fit Tip

2010-07-08T07:46:00.001-07:00

Fit Tip: What's the best way to tone your abs? By walking! Away from the kitchen, that is! Watch your diet and calorie intake or it won't matter a whit how many crunches you're doing. You have to uncover that six-pack hiding under there! Exercise and watching your diet = weight loss. Pure and simple!

How's everyone doing?

2010-07-06T09:21:00.000-07:00

Hi One Month Shedders!

It's Tuesday - only a few more days before our weigh in. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I know it was probably hard to start on a holiday weekend. But even if you slipped you still have a few days this week to end it right.

A site that I really love to keep my calories in check and to average how many calories I burn in a workout is www.sparkpeople.com - it's totally free! If you want to find me there I'm KELLYSBELLY2

Hope it's going well!
(if you'd like to be able to post to the blog let me know and I'll set you up)

July's Challenge

2010-06-30T09:09:00.000-07:00

Our first month is about to start. You can email me your starting weight on Facebook or kelly@kellysbelly.com. If you want to be on the list you still have time, just email me and let me know.

The One Month Shed

2010-06-24T14:01:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends!
I’m starting the One Month Shed Challenge. I’ve done biggest loser games before and they’d normally for about 12/13 weeks. That can be a big commitment with our crazy lives. So this time around we’re playing for one month at a time. You just need to let me know if you’re in or out for the month.
Our first month is July. Our game will start Friday July 2nd. So at some point Friday email me your weight, I’ll keep it on a spread sheet to calculate percentages the next week. After that it’s up to you, workout how you like to work out, eat the way you think you should eat
Every Friday you’ll need to weigh yourself and email me the results. I will post the results Saturday or Sunday using only your first name… or a code name if you want me to use one. I’m not going to post weights just the percentages and maybe how many pounds you lost. I’m open for suggestions.
If you want to give me your personal email address I can open the blog for you so you can post what you’re doing or vent any frustrations you’re having.
Your last weigh in for this cycle will be Friday July 30th – and then you can decide if you want to play in August.
