I've had some sickness and family problems pop up, which really slowed me down. I'm just starting week 5 this week (after two weeks of half heartedly doing it). I'm determined to keep going, even if it takes me a long while. But I am feeling so much stronger! I have learned how to flex my biceps, and I can actually see…

I am really terrible with eating well, so when I try my goal is to just track everything in mfp. I try to aim for using all of my calories, which is 1200 + my exercise calories(usually around 1400 total). Sometimes I'll still get really hungry but I never deprive myself cause I know I'm working hard. I just try to only eat…

I've been quite busy (and a little lazy) the last couple weeks. I've still been trying to fit in the workouts, but have been totally missing my cardio sessions. I was excited to see yesterday that I'm still making progress though! I'm down about three pounds, which doesn't seem like much but it's 20% of my goal! And I'm…

Hello All. My name is Amy and I've been commenting but realized I never introduced myself. I'm 24, 5.2, located in idaho and this is the first structures program I've ever tried to do. I got into running almost two years ago and lost 15ish lbs but got lazy around September and I got back up to 130. I certainly don't look…

Awesome! Thanks for the tips! I'll make sure to watch my knees more closely going forward.

How is everyone else doing the workouts? I'm usually in my living room and so I haven't been wearing shoes while I do the workouts. Today I started to feel some slight pain in my joints as I did the circuts, especially in my knees and ankles. Does you guys wear light shoes, running shoes, or any sort of braces for the…

Wow craycrayhair! You sound super motivated! That's so awesome! Just make sure that you are getting enough energy to tackle Kayla's program. I know she recommends an eating style with 6 servings of healthy grains a day and plenty of fluids, which sounds kinda the opposite of Candida. Keep us updated on your progress and…

Just remember that one pound of muscle is so much smaller than one pound of fat. Kayla's guides are designed to burn fat while building. So I'd guess that you might notice more of a difference visually than you will on the scale. Which is great. Cause the scale is just a number. It's how healthy your body feels that…

I'm borrowing the original guide from my friend so I don't have the pretraining guide. I just practiced week 1 a few times before I started the guide for real. I think I did day 1 4 times before the new year. When I started I couldn't do the second circut but by the time I started for real, I wasn't even sore after day 1!

The best thing I've noticed about this guide is that it's completely up to you on the hardness level. If you already have the guide, go for it, and I totally recommend the pre training weeks as prep. But as long as you are attempting the guide, and challenging yourself (whatever level that looks like) you're gonna see…

Anything is better than nothing! I don't think a wii fit was what Kayla envisioned, but if you can keep a steady pace of cardio activity then that should be good! But I've figured out that her "low intensity" is kinda misnamed. Walking for your LISS is a consistant fast power walk. About 4.3mph, or twice as fast as most…

Oh my. I just finished today's legs workout. I had so much fun with it, and watched South Park to distract my mind from thinking about pain. This was the first time I've ever done jump lunge. My knees are my major week spot but I was pretty proud of how well they handled it. Excited to relax with LISS tomorrow! Cause today…

I normally run for my cardio but I'll mostly be walking for my LISS. I figure since it's the only type spelled out in the guide I might as well give it a shot. I usually go durning my lunch break at work, so it's also nice to not be as sweaty. My afternoon hair appreciates it. I do make sure to walk at the top speed…
