  • I use Isagenix. *spare all the haters* I can't say anything about the full cleanse program. I don't use it that way. I use the shakes or bars as meal replacements, and am a fan of a few other products as well. I work on the go and spend a lot of my day in and out of restaurants & driving in the car all day. Sometimes, a…
  • Wow! Fantastic! Congratulations! Keep it up!
  • Thinking about doing a 60 day challenge as well! Our start date would be Oct 13
  • I hope you've gone! Every MWF they get together in DC and it is a great way to meet new people and is definitely very challenging!
  • I'm doing this! I just need to ease back into running after a lonnnngggg summer. Aiming for 40 miles!
  • Honestly, if you are training you need more calories. That is a NO BRAINER. What about just adding another shake or bar? And you should not be working out heavily on cleanse days, so make sure you're not doing that. Also, making sure your meal is high-nutrient is key. If you're training heavily for a weight competition or…
  • I did W4D1 today too and I came back to my apartment smiling and saying how proud I felt of myself. Not sure why, but this was the first day that I was really doubting myself a bit in the beginning, so I was extremely pleased with how smoothly it went! Love the program! Keep it up!
  • After week 1 I've been fine so far. Granted, I'm not overweight, but I have had a big knee injury that makes running difficult. Since the app I'm using cues me when to run and when to walk, I'm hoping it will help me build up strength in my knee. I know it gets harder, but I think overall, with a majority of cardio, etc, a…
  • Healthy or Semi Healthy: Frozen mixed berries (I know it's a given anywhere but they always end up being soo good in smoothies) Olive Oil Popcorn Nuts (they're so much cheaper at TJ!) Pita Bite Crackers (these are my favorite ever) Balsamic Vinegar Coconut Oil Chocolate Covered Bananas (Frozen -- maybe not the healthiest…
  • Also obsessed with cheese. I can't cook with it without snacking on it. I could eat it all day every day. Love it. There's also a place here that's a cheese shop/does fantastic grilled cheese from what I hear. However, I do live in walking distance of Trader Joes and Whole Foods.... and they've both got some great…
  • I may be biased, but I have to add that Potbelly's has some great offerings for low cal. The Skinny Pair is a really good choice. All of the "Skinny" sandwiches are under 350 calories! *Includes TKY, Hammie, Lil Tuna, Mushroom Melt & Skinny Beef" and you can add a side of soup if you need something else. But you have to be…
  • This is what I was referring to: if anyone can help me with the coding to make this smaller, I'd appreciate it
  • I've pinned this on Pinterest for ideas: http://greatist.com/health/60-healthier-drinks-for-boozing-030712/ There's also a cool chart floating around out there that let's you see calories of popular drinks in bar graph form. I'll look around for it.
  • I don't usually reply to these things, but I just had to tell you congratulations! You have done awesome and now you look great! What I really truly love it that you look healthy! I think that's what we should all be striving for, not necessarily "skinny" but a healthy weight for each of us individually. Love it. Great job!
  • Finished day 4 today. It's great to see everyone progressing. It makes me feel a little behind though, but unfortunately, my work schedule is super long, but I've been getting it in every time I can, and trying to make a plan to get it in on the days that I feel like I don't have time as well.
  • Seriously, the redundancy kills me. If I didn't think I needed at least some of the motivation of her saying to keep going, I'd mute it!
  • Just finished Level 1 Day 3 and I feel great!! Today was significantly easier and it was my first day with "heavier" weights than I've been using (read --- wine bottles as weights). No breaks at all today and felt fine for a majority of it. For some reason it's those punches that get me. They really make me feel like I've…
  • I was on a VERY tight budget in college, so I spent less than $100 max on groceries, but did allow myself a little spending to buy on campus. Also, I didn't really eat a whole lot and did a lot of couponing for when I did. Is he getting a meal plan though? I highly recommend even though he is living off campus, and even…
  • An egg sandwich and juice/gatorade are the only things that make me feel any better. The egg sandwich does the trick. You could probably just "fry" up the egg whites in some olive oil or light cooking spray if you want to avoid the cholesterol of yolks.
  • Was feeling a bit flu-like yesterday, so I didn't complete anything :( However, even though my stomach is still a little shaky today, I still completed Day 2, although with some struggles. All that jumping around during cardio really messed with my already upset stomach. I gave myself a little bit of time to feel better,…
  • I ordered Zumba Core for the Kinect a few days ago! I have been so excited to try it out when I found out that unfortunately, it was shipped to my parents house. Waiting for my mom to mail it to me so I can use it! I've never been to a Zumba class, but I used to take dance classes several times per week, so I'm hoping I…

  • I'm in Arlington, but when the weather warms up, I'd definitely love to go hiking some day!
  • Day 1: 1/5/2013 Finished level 1 without a ton of difficulty, but there were some moments I wanted to take a break!
  • Started today! Had to modify because I don't have weights yet. I'm hoping I can stay motivated. I work a lot (50-65 hrs a week) and can't find motivation after coming home from a long day on my feet (I'm a restaurant manager). I do better with classes/other people, but the gyms in my area are too much for my budget, so I…
  • I like them because they definitely are easy when I'm in a time crunch. Some of them are very good. I think one I really liked was a Thai Peanut one... My old roommate did Weight Watchers and literally her part of the freezer was only Smart Ones and I swear the pounds dripped off of her. But I really think it's like…
  • I'm in. It'll be tough though. I do eat peanut butter occasionally, because I'm a kinda broke college student lol so I'm going to limit that to 3 times in 21 days. Does anyone have any suggestions for GOOD white bread substitute? I can do wheat occasionally but my favorite bread is D'Italiano and I literally crave it.
  • Yes, I definitely like the sweet tea K-Cups I think they're by Celestial Seasonings. I mean it's not necessarily as good as homemade southern sweet tea but it is good. I know the peach sweet tea k-cup is in the database at appx 50 calories.
  • I once gave up drinking pop and lost a bit of weight. I started drinking it again during college and have definitely noticed the difference both in how I feel and in my weight even though I don't drink it regularly and usually drink diet. I'm thinking about giving that up again. It would be much too difficult for me to…
  • Things I like to keep at school to snack on in my room or to take to class: Low Fat Yogurt (I usually eat yogurt for breakfast & take it with a plastic spoon) Light string cheese LF cubed cheese (then take my own little zip locks full -- cheaper than buying the pre-portioned 100 calorie packs if you can take time to count)…
