uniquemoves , I believe you will be more successful next week. It sounds like you have a handle on what the roadblocks were. Be careful when you are doing the squats and lunges, to not let your knees go past your toes. This is a common mistake for newbies to pump. You can cause injury that way. Be strong, and have a great…

You're welcome!

Roni, Thanks for your input. I am definatly trying your recipe for mashed potatoes substitute!

Thanks for the input!

Well, this week has gone pretty well. I almost drank 4 bottles of water each day. However, my proudest moment was when I made it through the lunge track in Pump & Shred! I took about 5 tries, but I feel my legs are much stronger now. My co-worker shared her shakeology with me, and it is great tasting. I used those shakes…

I am so happy to see all of the new members to out group! Kia kaha! If you have not already done so, please introduce yourself in this thread, and tell up a little bit about you! :wink:

I agree with lk27. I have attached a link for a schedule that I use. Where it says walk, I do Kathy Smith's Peek Fat Burning Workout or Step. I also try to get abs in 3 times a week. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36976314/Body%20Pump%2090-day%20Workout%20Calendar.pdf Welcome to the group. Let's Pump it Up! Kia Kaha!

I agree with uniquemoves!

I am thinking about it. I will let you know if I do.

That's what I would like to know as well.

Yes, it is still a paid site. Although, they say you can use it forever. Is that the case?

Thanks for sharing this. The food list seems pretty painless. I may give it a try.

I like your idea also. But, I like the convenience of having the meals generated for me.

Yes, this is the one. I am considering it, but I don't want to have the yo-yo effect. I like that there are a variety of foods, and it doesn't rob you of all carbs. Just want to know if anyone has had success with it before I try it.

WHAT?—What have you learned from your food/exercise diary? I did not reach my goal of 4 bottles of water each day, but I received a great tip to have one with each meal and snack. SO WHAT?—What difference does it/did it make? I believe I can flush more water out and help with my weight loss goals, if I drink more water.…

Let's not use the word "failed," or any form of it. Instead, let's reflect, keeping our weight-loss/fitness goals in mind as such: What? So What? Now What? WHAT?—What have you learned from your food/exercise diary? SO WHAT?—What difference does it/did it make? NOW WHAT?—What can you do with this information to make…

Hi All, Has anyone tried the SHAKEOLOGY? My co-worker/fitness pal brought some chocolate to work today for to try. It was GREAT! ...and check out the nutritional facts! I've included a link below. I plan on ordering some and including in my diet. I would love to hear if any of you have tried it, and what you think!…

These are great low sugar snack ideas! I love the Fiber One bars.

Happy Friday to you too! I was almost fooled also. I thought it would be too easy because I've done the class at the gym. I was wrong, in a big way. I was shaking during those final reps! I'm sticking with the schedule, slow and steady! Kia Kaha!

WOW! What an inspirational read this morning! Thanks for sharing.

@ronitabur Thanks for the ideas to get more water in each day! You also have set some great goals! Good luck at your first gym class at the Y, and let us know how it goes!

My goal this week is to drink four bottles of water. I am having the hardest time getting my water in. I always drink one with my workout, but the others are hard to come by after I have had my coffee. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have read that you shouldn't drink too much at one sitting.

That sounds good. You can walk in the fitness room at the hotel if you're up for it.

You will be surprised of the calories you will burn with LMP, in just 30 minutes!

Wow! That's great to be able to run 2 to 3 day a week! That will really help with toning. I used to jog about three years ago, but I developed plantar fasciitis, so I have not added running back into my workout. However, I do like the treadmill. Doing LMP for three days this week sounds like a great goal! Good luck!

Thanks for the input! I did start subtracting 100/hr from the HRM output. So, I may see how it goes before I spend more. Right now, I use the Sportline brand. I think it is working fairly well right now. We'll see. Add your name to the spreadsheet for the challenge, and welcome to the group!

OK Everyone, I think a made a little "goof" on the spreadsheet. The date for week one is Monday (tomorrow). So, that's where this weekend's weight should go. Easy fix: For your start weight, enter your weight from last week/weekend, then this weekend goes into Week 1 column. Remember, choose any day (Friday-Monday) that…

This is a link to an article that affirms rinsing vegetables reduces sodium: http://www.livestrong.com/article/284911-how-to-remove-sodium-from-canned-vegetables/

@honey1017; It seems that they are having a problem shipping the clips. Several of us did not have them with our order. That's a good idea to do the workouts without the weights. You can still get a good burn with the bar only!

Thanks, mjstallworth! That's a great question. I think we are all in different places, so let's just start where we are individually and go from there. What week are you on the calendar? You know you could use the 30 day cross trainer calendar when you have finished with the 90-Day. That's what I plan to do.
