I like Mr. Hyde... I don't get a crash from it, but I have a high caffeine tolerance. Go to your supplement store and ask for some samples.

Is this the twilight zone or what?

Use cash.. my husband somehow took money out of our account little by little without me noticing to buy my engagement ring.

This is your life now pretty much. It's can become quite an addiction. Taking a rest day is hard mentally for me. When I'm not at the gym, I'm thinking about being at the gym. But, hey, there are worse things to be addicted to!

Pretty much all I wear for leggings is Lulu and Ivivva as they are the only brand that will stay put. I like lulu speed pants because you can tie them at the top and any of their jacquard pants since they are super compressive (I usually size down in these)

Charming! lol OP make sure you take your vitamins!

You lost me at "Smith Machine" :P

yah that won't be a problem

I think every woman has dealt with cellulite on their legs. Once you lose the weight and build some muscle in your legs it will likely disappear, or diminish substantially.

Yes, absolutely it is okay to do lower body tonight. Why would it not be? Not trying to be rude, just curious as to why you would think it's not okay.

Cardio and lifting is a great combo, but it's highly recommended to do cardio after lifting rather than before (other than a warm up) to prevent injury. ETA: I just noticed you said weight machines.. I was thinking you were using free weights.

I can't eat 3 hours before a run or I get stitches. When I do get a stitch while running I concentrate on my breathing (in through nose and mouth out through mouth) and it goes away within 2 mins.

Op as you have probably figured out by now, most MFP members are not fans of programs that promise results for a "fee". There is nothing MFP can't give you that this program will. You don't need this program.

How does it incorporate the science behind food?

What is it that interests you in his program?

5 - 25 lbs should keep you busy for a while!

Everyday. Your rest days are when your muscles reconstruct and you see the most gains. IMO it's even more important to eat at a surplus on rest days.

Rope (cable) crunches, hanging leg raises, inclined crunches with medicine ball/weights

I use slacker radio. You can get the free version (only 3 skips every couple of hours on each station), or premium for $9.99/month for unlimited skips. With premium you get any song you want, can download countdowns & make playlists to play offline so you're not using data. You can share playlists with your friends too.

Lifting has improved my running immensely.

I have a bit of an emotional attachment to my treadmill. I had it for a good 2 years before I actually used it. It was 4 years ago and my husband was going to sell it and I told him not to I want to use it... his reaction was "yeah right, sure you are". I'm super competitive so of course had to prove him wrong. I used it…

As of yesterday (high fives self) my squat is up to 150 lbs. I was stuck at 130 lbs for almost 4 months. My deadlift is also at 150 lbs, but I more-so do my deadlifts high rep low weight so that moves along pretty slow for me. I do deadlifts and squats 2x a week. ETA: These #'s took me about a year. I started with only the…

Takes your BCAAs. I have gone a week without it for the first time in over a year due to running out and no time to pick more up and I now realize how much they help heal muscles.

How could they take up the entire rack? Aren't the bars on the outside?

Yes. Great advice.

OP doesn't really want to lose 25 lbs of fat? Never would have guessed. Your advice to OP is to lift more, eat more and no cardio. So...a permanent bulk? That is going to give them the best long term results? lol

OP do some research online. Figure it out for yourself. You will get a lot of "experts" on here telling you what to do, but it's up to you to decipher the crap advice from the good advice. Good luck.

So lift, eat more and weigh more. That's pretty common knowledge, but not what OP is wanting. OP wants to lose 25 lbs. How can you say adding cardio isn't going to help?

I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but you can't do both at once. You need to eat at a surplus to gain muscle and a deficit to lose fat. I definitely recommend to continue lifting to preserve what muscle you do have while losing the 25 lbs. As for your original question, go as hard as you can, but don't…
