I agree 100% with that Crystal! If I didn't have the motivation and support from you ladies and other MFP friends, this would be so much harder! You can do it!! We can do it!!Sooooo...I did not work out yesterday....was supposed to do my legs. I had so much running around town, with things to do, people to see, did not have a chance to hit the gym. I work all day today, so I'm not sure about that either. I'm off work tomorrow, so I will have to really make myself go.
How do you guys motivate yourself to keep going to the gym?
Also, lastly...log on here each day. Having this group is a really big motivator for me, post you thoughts/progress, that might help motivate you. Good luck girl, you can do this!0 -
Went to the gym today, and did my legs and shoulders/abs workout today. Today was the last day of Phase I....start Phase II next week!0

Awesome!! I saw your exercise diary...WOW burn em up!!Went to the gym today, and did my legs and shoulders/abs workout today. Today was the last day of Phase I....start Phase II next week!0 -
I just started this program yesterday, but am very excited about doing it. Yesterday was my first day at the gym; my arms are feeling it this morning.
One thing I noticed yesterday that was kind of weird was that I felt hungry every couple of hours right before it was time for another meal which was a surprise because I felt like I was eating all day long.
Excited to hit the gym today!0 -
Got on the scale after a one month hiatus, and no pounds lost. :-( I have not taken measurements yet. Will do that later today. And test my body fat percentage. I'm hoping I lost some inches!0

Good for you! I think this program is great! Just what I needed to get on track. I didn't lose any weight during Phase 1, but I lost inches so be sure to measure and don't get discouraged if the scale isn't going down! I start my second week of Phase 2 tomorrow....lost just under 3 pounds this past week! Please share your success' and feel free to ask any questions!

So, I took measurements today, and I'm not showing any inches lost! I'm so beyond frustrated right now....I don't know if I measured in the exact spots as last time. I had a timeline to lose all of this extra weight before my husband gets back from his deployment, and now I only have half the time left.
I'm going to push through and go onto Phase 2 and hopefully adding cardio will help?0 -

Yea, since you are cramped for time I say go for it. I have to tell you though in (Phase 1, week 3) I measured myself and it looked as though I hadn't lost inches at all but than by (Phase 2, week 1), which was only about 2 weeks later, I had lost over 6 inches all over....so I you really start to lose towards the end of phase one and beginning of phase 2. So keep at it, but if you want to jump to phase 2, I say go for it.
Keep me posted on what you end up doing.0 -
Go for it! I dropped almost 3 pounds the first week in Phase 2So, I took measurements today, and I'm not showing any inches lost!

So I'm on week 3 of Phase 1 and I decided to measure myself just for the fun of it over the weekend to see if there's been any changes yet (my plan is to measure/weigh every 2 weeks and take pics every 4) I was pleasantly surprised!! I've lost inches just after a couple of weeks I was so excited!! Don't have my measurements with me right now but will post them as soon as I get em from home. Can't WAIT to see the end results!! m:bigsmile:0

Hey everyone! I started this on Monday, so I've only done a few workouts, but I have exactly 12 weeks until my trip to Vegas and I intend to use this plan to kick *kitten*! I have some weight to lose, but I'm mostly interested in getting in better shape. I'll just see what toning and weight loss comes of this. I love lifting, so I'm thrilled about this first phase, although I probably will end up doing some occasional cardio. I have knee issues, so leg days will have to be modified. But my upper body feels awesome after the first two days! And I didn't even get any sore shoulders and tension headaches, yay!0

Hello! I just did chest/triceps this morning at the beginning of week 2. I obviously can't really see results yet, but I do know i was nice and sore last week. I'm hoping to start feeling it again tomorrow : )0

Hello and welcome! I know you were sore! I have to admit that every week since I started, my legs are always sore after my workouts for at least a couple of days! I love that feeling!!Hello!

This is my last week of Phase 1! I wish I knew you guys were out there sooner! But so far I'm loving it, I put up my before pic and I'll be doing progress pics for each phase I'm hoping to drop my body fat down 2 more percent to 15% and maybe even lose a couple lbs. I love legs days!0

thanks!! I cant wait to see everyones results! I saw some great before and afters on her facebook page she made an album of people who tagged her to their progress pics! I would post the link but its blocked at work :-p0 -
Awesome job! I'm a bit nervous about this program right now and if it's what I need - I'm still looking to lose weight and the first two phases pretty much prevent it. I'm wondering if I should start incorporating cardio anyway, and when I get down to goal weight redo the program with more focus on the muscle building. Right now I have a bit too much fat for it all to show through!0

Welcome and you look great! I love leg days too! I have to tell you that I have continued to be sore after each leg workout...not like the initial leg workout, but every one since!! Let's me know I am working those muscles!! Good luck and keep us posted!!This is my last week of Phase 1! I wish I knew you guys were out there sooner!

I am in the last week of Phase 2 and will measure, weigh and have my body fat analyzed this weekend. I have just under 30 lbs to go, and have been thinking that I should re-do Phase 2 before moving on to Phase 3. I do think that you should follow her plan as much as possible through Phase 1 and 2 and then start re-thinking where you need to go at that time! Just my thoughts!! Good luck!!Awesome job!

for phase 1, I've been doing a ten min cardio warm up daily which is a mile run at least but just to warm my muscles. Looking ahead to phase 2 though there is enough cardio and strength to make up for phase 1's lack of cardio. The strength training actually builds muscle which burns more fat than cardio because it causes your body to burn fat for a longer period of time. So I would say stick with the program and as is and if anything may be do 2 rounds of phase 2 once you get there to continue cutting.0 -

Thanks for the warm welcome and compliment! I definitely will keep everyone posted :-) and I share the continued muscle soreness which I agree lets me know I'm doing something right! lol0 -
Okay, I'll try to stick with it for the most part. Since I'm still on the second week and there are only 4 days scheduled to workout I may throw a day of cardio in this weekend. 3 days off makes me eat too much lol. But after that the plan schedules for 5 days, and I'm a lot more comfortable with that. Other than that, I'll stick with the strength and just try to watch my calories. I'm not able to follow her food plan due to limited groceries, but staying with calorie limits should help a lot, as long as I'm getting enough protein.0
-
I know right, Kieva!! I am sore just about everywhere this week!!
Tasha, definitely get that protein in!! I don't really think her program calls for expensive food, etc.... I've been making a lot of her recipes and they are very good! Definitely beats paying for store bought protein bars, and eating out!0 -
I completed my 1st week! OUCHIES, my body is super sore but I'm excited to feel it
I took measurements and took tons of before pictures so I will do this for every phase. I am not anticipating weight loss but looking forward to a leaner body! Good luck to everyone in their current phase.0 -
Great feeling!I completed my 1st week! OUCHIES, my body is super sore but I'm excited to feel it0
