Cookie Butter - I can't keep that stuff in the house

Maine

2 hardboiled eggs, a little bacon, a little guacamole, and then a cup of berries and some fresh veggies

Just have fun! Scale workouts to your comfort and ability, and eventually you will be able to increase the weights/movements as you get better. I think it takes a few weeks before your lungs "come in", so be patient, and just have fun. Joining crossfit was the best decision I have made, and almost 2 years later I am still…

179 - very surprised how fast I got winded. Need to work on my endurance. But very fun - glad I signed up!

Why not both? I love deadlifts (obviously - profile pic), but squats are awesome too. My husband likes what squats are doing to my booty - just saying.

I put the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quest Bar in the microwave for 15 seconds - comes out just like a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie - SO GOOD!!!

I have noticed that my kids often ask for snacks when they are bored and watching tv, so the more we play family games at night, or just hang out together, the less they care about snacks. But keep up the good work, parenting is the hardest job!

Great job!!! I love how you describle the scene.

Squat, Deadlift, shoulder press. mix it up with weights and reps, and add other lifts (bench, overhead squat, front squat), and do bodyweight stuff as well (pushups, pullups). Just have fun with it.

I feel sexiest when I am leaving the gym and just hit a PR. Nothing can stop me then.

I have been doing crossfit for 7 months, and I eat pretty clean, and although I havent lost any weight, I have gone down 2 clothing sizes and people are always asking how much I have lost. Plus, my body is changing in ways that cardio and running never could (butt is lifting, arms are getting sculped, abs are coming in). I…

Keep practicing, and flick the wrists. You will start stringing them together soon, but practice every day. I am now stringing together 20-22, where I was just at 10 3 months ago.

I mix mine with water and drink it directly after working out. I have found the less water the better. There are tons of flavors out there, i saw mint chocolate the other day.

Basically personal training, workouts planned for you, motivation, wodify (digital tracking of progress), nutrition advice, a great community, and a ton of fun - all rolled into one. I know I never worked out as hard, and never went as much, and never saw such great results at a regular gym. Worth every penny for me!!!!

Cut up banana, cashews and coconut flakes in a bowl - monkey munch. Yum. Lots of healthy fats.

Dont think in terms of "failure" or "success", just find what does and doesnt work for you, and keep tweaking and moving forward. I have been on this site for years and am finally figuring out what I need to do to become my healthiest self. I found that constant grazing/snacking isnt good for me, so I now eat large meals…

After nursing 2 kids for a year and losing weight, my chest shrunk down to a saggy A cup. I got a lift with implants, best decision I ever made. I just got back the volume that I had lost.

I typically go 4-5 times per week, but less if I am feeling really sore/nursing an injury. I recently have started running for upcoming 5 and 10k's, so I will run on one CF rest day. I burnt out in the beginning, but I am feeling good now. Best just to listen to my body and take breaks as needed. I also took 3 weeks off to…

Amazing, I love how you never gave up, just kept going.

CrossFit Vindicta - South Portland, Maine

I just started one today too! I am very excited. I am going to try not to step on the scale, that will be the hard part for me.

I caught a wall ball with my face and gave myself a fat lip a few weeks ago. I also was doing a pull-up with a band and it slipped off my foot and came up and smacked me in the crotch. Oh well, I still love it.

I find the best reply if they ask if you have lost weight is smile and say, "Yes, thanks" and walk away. No need to share all of the details.

CrossFit has gotten me in the best shape, hands down. Between running, 30 day shred, and just lifting weights alone, I got bored with all those and gave them up or slacked big time. CrossFit is never boring, and pushes you to work hard. And I have only been doing it 3 months, I can't wait to see what I look like in a year.

I forgot my pants one time, and my coach gave me her short-shorts just so i didnt miss the workout. Holy cow it was almost like working out in undies. but I did it! :-)

$100 a month unlimited, but I am way up here in Maine. Cheaper than the other boxes in my area though. I love it.

I do crossfit 4-5 days a week, and my waist is shrinking, my clothes are getting looser, and I am losing body fat %, all good things to me. My box does 2 strength moves a day plus a cardio/metcon, so 50/50% strength/cardio. I love it and have never felt/looked better. Give it a try for a few months, and then decide. I am…

Don't beat yourself up if you have a minor slip up, the important part is that you keep going. You dont have to be perfect all the time, you just have to keep going. Slow progress is still progress. If I dont work a small treat into my calories, I go CRAZY. Tonight I had some chocolate chips and a few teddy grahms (haha,…
