my trainer is not happy about me starting this program. He said there is alot of injury associated w/it and since I have a pretty good program @ the gym, he is afraid I'm going to over do it. I'll have to take it day by day and see what my body is capable of. He also said I'm not coordinated enough! lol. He's 100% right…

I'd like to know if other people do other cardio or weights as well. I go to the gym 3 - 4x a week and do something different each time (body pump, spin, trx training, weights).... wondering if I should back off of that.

Starting Insanity! Did the fit test today and it was hard! Feel free to add me for additional support. Good luck everyone!

I was able to do weights but no cardo. i almost passed out in spin class, so I left after only 5 mins. my cycles seem to be getting worse the older I get...

oh and 1 egg white (sorry). add non salt spices .. whatever you like..

my new fav meal. 1 pack 99% lean ground turkey. Score into 4 squares (4 servings). shread 1/2 cup carrot and 1/2 cup zuchinni, mix w/one serving ground turkey & fry in a non stick sillet sprayed w/pam. you can make about 4 good size patties.. less than 200 calories and 1g fat.

califlower is great roasted. a little olive oil, s & P and roast at 400 until brown. my 7 year old loves it too!

I think I'll pick up some of that whey tomorrow. sounds so good. The protein powder I use now has some fat - so it would be nice to have a cleaner option. Can anyone recommend a favorite brand?

all really good ideas..I'm adding them to my notebook... keep them coming!

what the difference from whey protein vs isolate? i never heard of isolate before....

proud to have you as MFP buddy! Keep up the good work! Your hair is beautiful (so are you).. but I love love your hair! :-)

sprouted whole grain bread is a good choice. Ezekiel is a good name.. I saw Rudy's (I think that was it) in costco freezer today, but didn't get it.. but might next time. I keep the bread in the fridge.

Food here sucks too.. i'm used to fresh fish, the local bakery, and yes, pizza! I worked in Metuchen for a while.. looooooong time ago! Small world!

Where in Jersey? I am org. from Sayreville, NJ.. now I live near Harrisburg, PA.

great news. Looking forward to supporting each other.

good luck! ;-)

.. and getting out of your comfort zone. ;-)

oh i'll be loading up on sodium a few days before pic day... for sure. then.. it's game on. ! i did pay extra for 3 personal training sessions. and I am also thinking about joining the small group training. I've been at the gym at least 3x a week since Sept w/no results. TRX and powerplate training is offered at my gym. 10…

me too. i have trouble sleeping at night because of that part! but after much though, i have never done anything like this in my life.... so i'm going for it. you can sign up w/out the pics, you just are not eligable for prizes. if you go for it, let me know... good luck.

I'm not giving up on findng you all just yet.. come on.. there's got to be more than 3 of us in this world - wide gold's gym challenge??!!

Athenaheim, it is 12 week challenge that Gold's Gym is offering. (body transformation type of challenge). I'm not sure of all the details yet, but my weight in is at 10:30am on Sunday.

i just did an upper body workout today on utube http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=upper+body+home+workout&view=detail&mid=D8F7E08CE63F1CC4AA6FD8F7E08CE63F1CC4AA6F&first=0&qpvt=upper+body+home+workout

Great success!!!

The Angry Trainer (www.angrytrainerfitness.com) likes some RAW product from GNC.. check out his blog.

I also like think thin bars. I've had chocolate brownie and chocolate fudge.. not sure which I like better!

great job!!

in the same boat as you! Stared working out really hard last August - lost 13 lbs, and gained them all back. good luck to you... feel free to add me for support.

I have heard great things about Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer. Its nice because you can click on an exercise and it will show you a short video on how to perform the exercise correctly. Angry Trainer is another great sight.

maybe too much kale. it's hard to drink down.. but i will. i'll maybe add 1/2 banana next time to sweeten it up. i'll take it w/me and drink it on the way to the gym.
