Thanks for your input. :)

Welcome! I loved this program. I Am doing Lee Labrada now but I plan on doing live fit again because I enjoyed it so much! You can do it. :)

That is awesome! You worked so hard. I didn't get a reward when I was done. THat sounds like a good idea at the Labrada program. Have you seen the fitbit? I was thinking they looked great because they are so small.

I totally agree with you. I think my least favorite weeks were 9 and 10.

I love having a group too! I am planning on starting labrada's 12 week program after next week. So on March 18th. I just have one more week of the bizzy diet. I have really liked it and how much I am sweating. :)

I think I will do the bizzy plan for the next few weeks until some of you finish up. It looks like a great workout and not too time consuming as far as how many days I would have to go to the gym. Then I can just do active rest at home with a jog or walk outside. I buy musclepharm for my amino and protein powder. I Really…

I live in Utah, and we have cold weather as well. It has been a really bad winter and everyone is getting sick! The cold I got was MISERABLE!!! I think it just depends on the virus and colder weather seems to make it worse. My dad is a complete health nut and takes tons of garlic supplements. He rarely gets sick. I just…

When does your biggest loser competition finish? I am so excited for you and keep hoping you win!

I looked a little at the one you sent the link for. So far it looks good. I need to read a little more about it though. :) I will let you know. I would love to keep doing stuff as a group. It is so fun to have people that are doing the same thing.

I am so sorry. That happened to me in January for about 2 1/2 weeks. It was so miserable. Don't get down on yourself. Just get lots of rest and fluids and be ready to get back to the gym when you feel better. It will probably take some time to feel yourself again. At least that is how I was. Get better soon.

I just bought nectresse but haven't tried it yet. I will soon and let you know.

That is the thing I didn't like about them. I felt like everyone was watching me and wondering what the heck I was doing. Also, they were a bit hard on my joints. THey did their job of making me feel completely exhausted though. :)

Welcome! Most of the group is on phase 2 right now. I am on week 10 and start 11 monday. I also really like the program, just wish I could eat as healthy as she recommends.

I agree, I haven't done well at the meal plan and did really bad in my eating the last 2 weeks resulting in a 4 pound gain. Yikes! I agree it is really hard to keep at it all the time. There are days that all I want is sodium. I have been doing well at not eating sugars but sodium really does it for me. Are you starting…

I agree as well. I really got off track with being sick and totally kicked myself for it. I finally realized at least I was making it to the gym even if I only got 3 days for a few weeks. And I did repeat certain weeks. I am feeling much better now that I don't worry so much about it. I was so depressed and felt I had…

Thanks I will check it out. I use allstarhealth.com They have really good prices as well. I just bought the MusclePharm Amino powder (Orange-Mango). It is SO yummy!

Yes, it was a wonderful week 9 for me. I am definitely not as strong as I was. I only went to the gym about 3 times a week for 2 1/2 weeks when we were all sick. It was so hard to get to the gym everyday but I did it and I felt really good afterwards. I loved having more energy this week to get things done around my house.…

Shae, sorry that it has been a rough go for you. I also have IBS really bad. I understand the frustrations with getting sick all the time. I am not sure why you are not seeing results. You are amazing at tracking everything so well. I feel like lately I have been so into wanting to lose my last 5 pounds that I just obsess…

Yeah I agree the KT tape is wonderful. Make sure you get the pro kind. It is more expensive but will last way longer. I used it lots when training for my marathon.

For a minute I thought I had another buddy on week 9. :wink: I am just so happy that I made it through the entire week this week. It was definitely hard after being on and off the last 2 weeks with sickness. I feel I lost some of my muscle so I am hoping to really get most of it back by next week.

That's great! Thanks for sharing. I am actually getting all my days in this week. Yay, for finally feeling better!

Oh thanks, I am new to this as well. :)

I was going to suggest standing leg curl as well. Just don't lift to heavy either if you are having knee problems. I have them as well and have had surgery on one of my knees. I never can get all the way down on my lunges because it hurts too much. But just try to do the best I can.

Nice job on inches lost! That is awesome!!!

Ok I am in a different phase then you guys. Phase 3. As most of you know my family has been slammed with sickness the last couple weeks. I am proud of myself for getting 3 workouts in each week. It was so miserable but I did it. We are all feeling lots better so I am going to do a full week 9 this week. So now I am not…

Yes 20 means 10 sets. So do a both legs and count it as one or count each one separately. And doing negatives are drop sets. So start high and then drop a little lower on each set.

I have double up as well before. A friend of mine that did it told me I could take out a day since there are 2 legs days. I have done that before and just try to go out for a walk or something on that day. I have been off now for 2 weeks! I feel so bad about it all! I am feeling better but my husband has had strep for 3…

Phase 2 took about 90 minutes for me to finish each day. Except leg days, they were about an hour. Phase 3 is taking me longer than the 90 minutes so I have only been getting about 20 to 25 minutes of cardio in.

I use one that is a powder. The brand is MusclePharm and it is a cherry limeade flavor. SO yummy! I buy it off of allstarhealth.com it is a good price. I didn't know one was better than the other.

oh thank you so much for sharing. I am glad I am not the only one. My husband just came home from work and he has a fever and aches and chills. I am just praying I don't get that now too.
