Whey protein did make me fat. But that was because I was eating a AM whey shake, and then a pre workout protein shake.. and then a post workout protein shake. THanks ...*kitten*$hole personal trainer I hired who gave me crappy nutrition advice when I didn't know better! He told me if i didn't keep drinking them I'd lose my…

This is true. I got some GREAT looking old navy workout clothes. 6 months later..a rip right in the crotch. I discovered this at the gym. Got some workout clothes at target...lasted about a year, the seam in my sports bra started to come undone. My Lululemon pants? They are holding up 5+ years and still look new. I figure…

i prefer being alone and being in my own world when I lift. I have friend or two that I see at the gym, but I nod, do my workout and then later when I am done and they are done we will hang out. Until then..I love being by myself. I won't even work out with my boyfriend. I always see couples working out. Not me. I want my…

SO BUMPING THIS!!

I admit I put creamer in it! But I don't do sugar. I like that lil bit of fat in my coffee. Keeps me from noshing and actually makes me feel full. Yeah, it's a lil extra calories but..but...it makes up for it in the end since I eat far less with creamer in it than without. That lil bit of creamer just satisfies me! I don't…

I'm doing that. Or at least trying. I have one to two days of 1200. ANd then some days more. As of right now - it's working.

THe last 10 lbs for me was VERY SLOW. But that's true fat loss not just water. And yeah, lifting HEAVY. I also put in exercises that I absolutely SUCK at. I have some go to moves that I like to do but I needed to do things I was uncomfortable with(not painful just uncomfortable.) I am extremely vain at the gym. I like…

Training for a bikini comp Apr 6th(my birthday month!). I did one bikini comp 3 years before(DEAD LAST), and one local figure comp right before I got pregnant with my my second son who is now 1 1/2(placed first in figure in my age class and overall). In a different place in my life now and want to do bikini, plus like…

*peanut butter french toast*- main ingredients- low carb bread and pb2! didn't have sausage so I grilled up a tilapia filet to go with it, seasoned it with taco seasoning...YUM!

totally forgot about itrain! I loved itrain when I was doing cardio. I'll have to do it again so might go buy me some itrain podcasts to keep me moving!

I have lost my period with low cal food without even doing IF. I was working hard almost 6 days a week and eating low. Currently hopping back onto IF ( i took a break from it during the holdiays) and have found that some days I can do 16, others only 14. Some days only 12. Prior to the holidays I was only able to do 14/…

Love this blue dress on you and a testament to the powers of strength training and less cardio!

I used to do that...and stayed pretty skinny. Until I had to stop exercising...except my hunger didn't magically disappear. And because I wasn't running miles a day anymore I gained 30 f***ing pounds in less than 3 month. Yup, it can be done. That should tell you all how much I used to run. People thought I was dedicated…
-
I've gone over a couple times too.. Sometimes by 2,000. Seriously. But it's not an everyday thing. and I didn't punish myself by exercising excessively after. I just rebooted the next day. Back to normal.
-
Yeah..Max Workouts are one of the BEST kept secrets out there. I did great with my current program but Max workouts really laid that hardcore foundation for me. I may go back to it in a few months..

Chicago- especially Pequod's Pizza in Chicago. Carmelized Crust?? YUM! I will do a burpee battle over who has the best pizza. AND IT"S CHICAGO!! TAKE THAT NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not true. I can lift weight more than my man. He's sortof...Sheldon looking(but not sheldon the personality..lol) from the Big Bang Theory. What can I say, I love me some nerds. (he's also a phd...although not in physics. He just graduated with his doctorate in molecular genetics) I am helping him start to weight train…

I have. I did a transformation contest where I did NO cardio. Only weights, 3days a week. Back in my late 20's early 30's...I always thought I couldn't put muscle on. What really happened was I was doing way too much cardio and just didn't trust the weights. I stayed skinny but at the expense of spending an hour running.…

Black coffee obviously...but if you want some foamy goodness- ask for a coffee with a skim foam topper. It's 75% coffee, 25% steamed foamy mile on top. Similar to a cafe misto(cafe au lait other places) except insted of it being half coffee and half milk, the percentage of coffee is more so cals will end up being less.…

I LOVE Max workouts. I did it after my 2nd pregnancy. I lost my weight QUICK. In 3 months all my prepregnancy weight was gone...plus an additional 10 more. 3 strength workouts a week was no joke though. It was INTENSE.

Just ate my lunch today. Entree? Candybar instead of a twinkie on my version of this diet. YUM!

Am in maintenance...and to tell you the truth..I think it's a bit tougher than losing the weight. I've been on maintenance since about Sept/Oct. I am starting to have fun with it now though. Doing unorthodox things to see if I can maintain...things I would have never tried when I was trying to lose a bunch of weight. Plus…

Awesome! Thanks! With a new work schedule and a small apartment my space is limited. I have two kb dvd's I don't have any dumbelld dvd's. If you can recommend any that would be awesome(when you have time!) I do know what to do at the gym..but am an utter NEWBIE when it comes to working out with dvd's at home. It's a WHOLE…

I did a transformation contest back in May and won it...without doing cardio. I just lifted. That was it. So it works! I used to run...ALOT. I ran so much I was a marathon training coach. But I got burnt out. Nothing wrong with running i that's what one likes.. and to tell you the truth I was SCARED to give it up. But I…

I do Venus workouts sometimes and it's almost all dumbells.

You look GREAT! Wow. Can't say it enough. Great job. You look beautiful!

Good JOB! One of my part time jobs is working as a pediatric home care nurse. I know how hard it is for the parents to get exercise. Heck, I lost my baby weight but I think had I done it at home I wouldn't have been able to as well. I needed that gym. And it was easy for me doing it there. I needed to be out and about. So…

Dagoba eclipse or Dagoba xocolatl! I am actually doing my version of the "twinkie diet" except I guess I should call it the candybar diet. Been using Dagoba as my candybar of choice. SOOO expensive yet sooo yummy.
