Hi' I'm not in the area, but just started the same program. Am looking for friends too that I can do this with. Just starting my 2nd week.

On the web, from My Home, go to Goals > Change Goals and then select Custom. From here, you can enter your macro and calorie goals.

Guess I should start focusing on trying to go lower on my squats then! But I've read that you should watch that your knees don't go past your toes or something like that. Good form is key and it helps to know that if you are going to go that low, to lighten the load you're lifting. Great tips! Thanks!

Just sent you a request! Down 7 pounds and counting! :)

Sorry..I just saw this! lol. My sister goes usually in the mornings and sometimes evenings. Message me if you think you'd be interested in connecting with her.

Feel free to add me! I'm pretty active on here!

Yes, patience is key. I've been lifting weights for a few years now and have seen some small results, but I think what is key is the eating. I'm really trying to focus on that now too...getting at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight and I've also lowered my fat macros to 15% and keep my carbs at 50% and…

I've found that reducing my sugar intake and eating whole grain carbs and vegetables has helped with bloat. It hasn't reduced a lot of weight, but I am still leaning out. If I eat high carb items like pizza, pastas (not whole-grain), I find I tend to bloat a lot more. Lifting weights has really helped too, but I'm still…

Sorry to hear you are going through this. IMO... If I were you, I would leave him and move on with your life as painful as it is. You are so much more deserving of love and respect than what he is giving you. Don't waste your life trying to change someone. Life is too short. It'll be hard for awhile, but you will find…

Thanks for posting this! I was just thinking today what I should do!

You all rock! Thank you!! Guess I could cut the chicken, sausage and chicken stock from the lentil recipe and see how that goes. Forgot about the shrimp ceviche! Never had red lentils...will have to look into that as well. I appreciate everyone chiming in! Thanks again!

Ok. Gotta learn to cook with tofu. I'll be scouring the net for recipes. Connie, that sounds yum!! I've never heard of black bean spaghetti! I'm gonna have to look that one up! I normally have tuna, bean tostadas or some kind of fish but it can get old! Thank you!

Thank you for the ideas! Will definitely look at incorporating!!

Feel free to add me for motivation! Been on my journey for 3 years now!

I'm 43 and have been on my fitness journey for 3 years now. Lost about 35 lbs. still more to do. Feel free to add me for extra motivation!

Awesome job on the weight loss!

Went cold turkey a few years ago to black coffee and haven't looked back since. I love it this way now. Took a few weeks to get used to but it can be done! I was so concerned about the calories so black was the way to go for me.

Cold turkey and a lot of will power. You can do it!!

I don't work out in a gym, I work out at home, but I can understand feeling self conscious. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Focus on you and why you're there. Truth is...most people who are in the gym are there to get fit, so if you are overweight and there, I would think these people could be your biggest motivators.…

30 minutes P90X3 The Warrior and 40 minutes of Body Beast Bulk Chest!

I have all of my workout equipment in the family room (treadmill, barbells, dumbbells and rack). I used to worry about how it would look but now I could give a hoot! Lol. My friends and family know that when they come over, we are all about working out and being healthy. I usually move them to the side of the room when not…

Amen to your post!

Start slow and don't overwhelm yourself. Track what you can and don't get discouraged if you miss logging a few foods or a few days. Same goes for exercise, do what you can and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. Just hop right back on. You got this. Just don't give up. For me, I started my exercising first…

could use more motivation!

Yeah... she was kind of a wimp...If I hadn't needed the money, I'd have walked off the job.
