Hello Ladies,
Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm on day two of my Brazil But Lift and I feel like somone kicked me in my "bum bum" LOL... in a good way of course! I'm totally enjoying the workouts. Starting to get better at some of the moves, but I know that there is lots of room for improvement.
Diet is going well now with a full kitchen I weighted myself and lost the little water weight I gained over the weekend and b/c of TOM so that makes me even happier.
Best of luck to eveyone and check in with us.

Gaby - can't wait to see how the Brazil Butt Lift works for you. Let me know if you see any changes in your thighs, that is a huge problem area for me.
Ariel - hope you feel better and can get to the gym today
lmr9 - great work on the water and exercise. You will get back on track and see that drop in weight soon enough
Tuesday- stayed within calories
Wednesday - Burn 2 for 263 calories and 20 min TJ for 142 calories - WOW. I logged in what I plan to eat and should be good to go today0 -
So, I'm back... again...Just moved to Florida, and between the move and my trip home, I fell off the wagon HARD.
The good news: I didn't gain ANY weight on my 3-week trip home!! Amazingly, because I didn't watch closely what I ate! I did make it to the gym, but only 6 times.
Thanks for taking me back... again... :flowerforyou:0 -
amm114 - Welcome Back!!! :flowerforyou:
Today was pretty good - stayed within my calories - drank 12 cups of water - and fit in 30-45 minutes of "exercise" - I call yard work exercise!0 -
amm welcome back. glad you got through the move and the trip home.
Wednesday - I was under my calories
Thursday - could not make myself get out of bed this morning, so I am going to walk at lunch. I should be even on my calories today.
Have a good one.0 -
Hi ladies!:flowerforyou:
Well I've ben bad again..... i was in a really bad mood yesterday and for some reason when im angry im like im going to eat bad! lol its stupid. so i got a HUGE burrito from Chipotle. :grumble: It was sooo good too! hahaha:laugh: But Im seeing my trainer tonight so hopefully we go through work outs for me tonight. I know once we do that, I wil be able to stick with it better. Because then after we set that up, every 30 days I have to be re evaluated so I HAVE to stay on top of it. Besides eating that burrito last night, Ive been good about what ive eaten all week.
today: 60 mins of exercise plus 15 mins strenght training and 8 glasses of water.
Welcome back Angie!
Gaby- great job on sticking with the bbl! keep it up girl!
Ang everyone else stay strong and be positive!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hello Everyone,
Happy Friday. Congrast Chocolickkyss on pushing thru and staying focused this week.
I've been pretty focused myself. First week of the BBL program. I didn't want to take it for granted, so I'm still pushing thru and feeling motivated. I"m getting the moves down for sure. So now its just about increasing resistance, weights and trying to do the whole things with no "mini" breaks.
I'm kinda looking forward to having to do a workout today and Saturday (Sunday is rest day of BBL). Because I noticed the wkends are always a little tough and let the gym go and b/c of that I eat not so good.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
Okay, so after I hurt my foot, I just let myself go. I havent been logging. I logged today though. I have not been able to walk much less exercise! I am so ready to be over this! I need to get back on the ball and start eating right! Good thing is that at least I didnt gain this week. I stayed the same . Good luck to everyone over the weekend.0

Morning ladies!!!
Well the weekend was bad...... hmm who woulda thought!? lol :laugh: But I went grocery shopping and got lots of stuff I needed. Lots of produce too. So i'm going to make sure I am good about eating this week. I'm meeting with the trainer tonight again so that should be fun. He's funny. I haven't been weighing myself the last few weeeks...... I'm afraid of what it will say. So I need to do good this weeks so I can weigh in on Sunday. And hopefully it will either say 156 or less!
So gotta question!!! Does anyone know of any gppd creams that work to make strech mark go away!? or at least not apear so bad? I hate mine..... :ohwell: And soon It iwll be warm enough to get in the pool and go to the lake and I dont want them to look so bad. I thought that if I were tan they wouldnt be as noticeable, but I think that they look worse now because of the tanning. But Im not going to be pale this summer again!:laugh:
today: 60 mins of exercise (not sure what all that will be) and 8 glasses of water
Have a great Monday everyone!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hello eveyone,
Happy Monday. Still with no internet service at home till this wkened, so I'm MIA after work hours...lol.
I once again didn't have much change. Just went down like 1/2 lbs, but I'm happy cause I know it gonna get little harder and harder.
I will say this. In the last week of completing the BBL program I have lost 3 that's right three inches on my waist alone. I didn't do the rest of my measurements, but I noticed my waist looked smaller so I measured and that's what it said. I couldn't believe it!! I'm loving the workout. I have to be honest I got lazy yesterday, so today I gotta double up on yest and today's workout. But I love how fun they are. I think this is going to be a regular part of my workout even after I'm done w/ the program.

Good Morning.
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, computer problems.
Ariel - I have a cream from when I was pregnant that worked. I will look it up when I get home and let you know.
So I decided my body was in a rut/plateau even though I have been working so hard so I started Turbo Slim on Saturday. I have already lost 2 pounds. It is amazing. I am working out and eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day (based on the program) and I am losing weight. It is clean eating so I guess that really does make a huge difference. It is a 10 day program so we will see how it all works out next Monday.
This morning was Turbo Sculpt - 299 calories. I am on track for calories and water.
Have a good day everyone0 -
morning!!!
Kim- thanks for looking it up for me! I hate them so much! they go almost all the way up the side of my torso..... YUCK!
I dont have much time so I am going to the gym and eating good. I did go to the gym last night but I dont think I got in as much as I should have. But I went so thats good!
I'll try to write more later! Keep up the good work everyone!0 -
morning!!!
well i didnt make it to the gym yesterday. but thats okay. im going tonight so i should be able to get everything in! i have been eating good too. last night i did have 2 cookies that i made, but im glad i only had 2! i would usually have like 5!!!! i hope everyone else i hanging in there and working hard!
kim- let me know what that cream is called when you get a chance? does it help make them go away completly or just hide them? because mine arent purple, theyre like clear but i can still see them and i hate them!! i just want the ones on my sides to go away, i dont care about the rest of them, those are the worst though....
gaby- how much was the bbl? whats the program like? hows it working? you said you lost 3 inches?! thats AWESOME! I wish i could lose 3 more inches off my waist! then it would be 29"!!! that would be perfect! i want to be like 39 29 39. right now i'm 39 32 43...... BOOOO!!!!!!! stupid hips of death!!!!
okay ladies, have a great Wednesday!!! Suns are playing the LA fakers again tonight so hopefully we come out swinging! I hate the re's man. They call all these bull**** calls on the Suns because they favor the fakers........ I call them the fakers because everytime they get hit, or pushed, they make it seem like it hurt soooooo bad! when really thyere just doing it to get a call...... way to ruin the game, fakers!0 -
Good job ladies! I am so amazed how you all stay so motivated and consistent. I just can't seem to be consistent at all with eating and exercising - I go through these all-or-nothing phases. Ugh. I hate that about myself. I know that if I exercise regularly, the rest will fall in place and my body will respond. I gotta get going again!!!0
-
well i had a really crappy night. i didnt exercise. i ate like 4 cookies and didnt have dinner. when i get mad i eat whatever i want. and i dont think about it. i hate it! i'm going to try to be good today though. since im not doing anything now i should be able to make it to the gym and get my work out in. i gotta go. im in a bad mood and i have to be here at this crappy job...... ill write more later0

Hello All,
My week is going pretty well. I've had a couple indulgences, but since I'm working out everyday. Driking a lot of water, I'm not tripping about it to much.
Today's is my dad's 70th birthday, we are going to el Torito for dinner to celebrate. I gotta make sure to eat healthy and not to much thruout the day just in case. But I'm going to be checking their menu online to make sure I know what to get before I even get there That's the safest thing to do.
BBL is going great. I'm luving it. Its a hell of a workout. Even though it looks like dancing a lot and having fun. I'm sore and dripping when I'm done, so I know its kicking my but.0 -
Good morning
Sorry I have been MIA for a few days.
I have been working out and keeping within my calories as well as water intake.
Ariel - the cream I get is from WalMart, but I believe I have seen it at target and walgreens too. It is called Palmer's Cocoa Butter for Stretch Marks. It is with the lotions. It is for pregnancy but you can use it for just stretch marks. I tried several and this is what worked the best for me without costing a bundle.
Hope everyone has a good day.0 -
Well, looks like everyone is doing pretty well. Surprisingly, I have found that sticking to my exercise routine and my calorie limits have been working well for me since I got back on the wagon... which was about 10 days ago, so I still have plenty of time to screw it up... hopefully I can STICK WITH IT!! It's soooo hard with summer being here and every ice cream store on the planet screaming my name! There's even an ice cream truck that makes daily rounds in my neighborhood... :devil: and I made chocolate chip cookies on Monday when I was bored. I had 2 a day until today... they can't be that bad, right? Wishful thinking... today I decided one a day is enough. So Ariel, I know how you feel.
lmr9 - I struggle with consistency as well. This is my 3rd time back on the wagon since September. It's hard to stick with!! I just hope I can eventually make eating right and exercising regularly into a habit, rather than eating whatever I want and not exercising!0 -

Stayed under my calories - exercised - 12 cups of water. GREAT DAY!!! Let's just hope I can make it through the weekend!0

6.5 lbs to go 'til goal weight!!! :flowerforyou: I'm being cautiously optimistic... last time I got to this point, I gained 4 lbs in a week and got so discouraged that I quit exercising for like 3 months. I will do my best to not let that happen this time.0

YAY! Great job!! It's crazy how we sabotage ourselves - I do that exact same thing. I do so well and really get rolling - start feeling great, start seeing differences, clothes fit better, etc, etc. -- and then start thinking I can slack off here or there. But let me tell you - that never works! I tell you this NOT to discourage you, but to ENCOURAGE YOU TO STICK WITH IT!! Slow, steady, and consistent wins the battle!! You are sooooooo close! :flowerforyou:0 -
Friday was not toooo bad, but not great. I was STARVING all day. Maybe because on Thursday I exercised and didn't eat about 300 calories that I should I have. I was just so full that I didn't feel like eating, but then Friday I was hungry all day. I probably went over by about 500 calories or so - so that's not too terrible. My hubby and I went to a dinner party, so it's hard to know how many calories I ate in that chicken cassarole, but I didn't eat dessert - that's huge for me! :laugh:
Back at it today. I'm feeling really good and inspired to make this work. I feel so damn stupid sometimes - this program works if you just do it. I've done it before, and it worked. Why is it so hard to make lasting changes? I guess when you've done something one way for 30 years, it's hard to break. But I MUST! I've watched so many people in my family have health issues and take handfulls of pills every day to battle issues that are totally avoidable. I don't want that. Luckily I don't have any health issues yet, but I know they're coming if I keep carrying excess weight my whole life.
Okay, sorry for the rant ladies! :blushing: I'm off work this next week through Memorial Day - so I have NO EXCUSES! Maybe I can find a way to jump start things this week. Have a wonderful weekend everyone - and stick with it! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi ladies - it was quite around MFP this weekend. Hope you all had a lovely, relaxing, productive, wonderful, healthy weekend! :flowerforyou:0

hi all!!! :flowerforyou:
Well ive been bad some more. But it stops now! I tired on my bikini again and felt TERRBLE! So I'm going to be extra hard on myself this week. I'm going to make sure I go to the gym Monday through Thursday and stay for at least an hour. But I might stay longer because I'm going to do all of the moves my trainer showed me to do. I'm going to eat better too. I eat good during the week then the weekend comes and I thro it all out the door. But not this time! I'm going to be good and I will start losing weight again! I WILL!!!:glasses: :drinker:
Kim- thanks for letting me know the name of the cream. Does it stop them from forming or will it help minimize the apperance of them? they aren't like big and purple, but I do see them and theyre like white lol :laugh: :ohwell:
today: 60 mins of exercise and 8 glasses of water
Okay have a good day everyone!!0 -
Hello Ladies,
I'm happy to report, that as of last night I have internet service at home... FINALLY! So its going to be easier for me to track my food and exercise.
Today marks the start of week 3 of the Brazil Butt Lift program. And eventhough I didn't lose any weight this week, I continue to see changes in my body. My waist is waaaay more defined, I'm toning my arms and legs. And of course, let me just say I have received lot of compliments from different people saying my "boom boom" (booty) looks tighter and lifted and really nice.
Although I def need to start a mini goal. I'm going to be throwing a "greek themes" engagement party for my fiance and me in July! Plus my birthday is July. So I'm hoping to lose10 lbs by then.
Its just been too long of this last 10 to be sticking around!
Gaby0 -
Happy Monday
I finished my 10 day Turbo Slim. Lost 3 pounds and 4 inches (1.5 inches in my belly alone). That was totally worth the meal plan.
Started Push 1 today. I am 1 pounds away from my original goal, but I am going to keep going because I still have some fat to lose.
Hope everyone has a good week.0 -
Morning team!:glasses:
Well yesterday was the day from hell! I had THE worst cramps EVER! I always have bad cramps on the first day but that was uncalled for! lol :laugh: I'm feeling much better today. but since I felt like crap yesterday I took a half day from work and I ate like crap at home. I had half (well almost half) a burrito from Chipotle, then I ate 2 chocolate chip cookies, plus I had a rootbeer float!!!:sad: WHAT AM I DOING!??!?! Now I'M sabatoging my diet! NOT ANYMORE!!!!! I went to the gym last night and saw my trainer and he kicked my *kitten*! So I'm 100% serious this time! I'm back on and going to do good! I want to weat my bikini's this summer and I want to look good in them! So I'm gonna make it happen! it will take some time, but I'm hoping in 2 months to be at least another 15 pounds down! So that will be nice! I'm having trouble logging all my exercise though because I do so many different things. So we will see how that goes.
today: at least an hour at the gym and 8 glasses of water.
Hang in there everyone! You can do it!!! :flowerforyou: :glasses: :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
Good Morning Team! :drinker:
Yesterday was a good day for me - drank 14 cups of water - stayed within my calories - and worked out! Oh if every day were like that!!
Ariel - stay focused! You have worked SO hard for SO long - don't sabotage yourself now! You can do it!! :flowerforyou:
Kimberly - 4 inches in 10 days - WOW!!! :noway: Great job!!
I'm having lunch out with a friend today at one of my favorite mexican food restaurants. They don't post their nutritional content anywhere, so I'll have to guesstimate on calories. I'm planning to be good and order the grilled chicken salad - hopefully it isn't loaded with crazy fat or calories. Have a good day everyone and stay strong! :flowerforyou:0 -
lmr9 - great work. stay strong at lunch. mexican is my downfall. drink plenty of water like you did yesterday
ariel - you can do this. you have come too far to start sabotaging yourself.
monday - i had lunch with my boss at this pasta restaurant. i didn't do too bad. they did not have nutritional content on the website so i guesstimated too. i did go a little over, but i did not overeat at all.
tuesday - got up and did burn it off for 25 min. according to my set meals for the day i wil be ok with calories and of course i am drinking my water
have a wonderful tuesday0
