bumpity bump!

Start with youtube. There are TONS of yoga routines that you can try if you don't want to do it in front of people. There is nothing bad about yoga, its all good. All exercise requires some time of range of motion. Yoga enhances your range so that you can dig deeper during workouts, so I would definitely say start yoga now!

I didn't read previous comments, but my body is pretty much on a timer. Regardless of how much I eat at one meal, I am guaranteed to be hungry 3-4 hours later. I am a firm believer in snacking between main meals, not only does it satisfy hunger but it also keeps your metabolism working. As long as the snack are light its…

chocolate protein mix with water, brown sugar oatmeal with deli turkey.....pretty good!

The Shred is a hate/love program. It kills, but its a great workout. As long as you do what you can and eat clean you will see results. Keep pushing! :-)

Protein and fiber!

definitely

I love Kashi chocolate chip cookies!!!

If you like turbo fire, then you should try Chalean Extreme its done by the same lady and is all heavy lifting with some cardio thrown in. I'm going for the same body type as well and so far CE seems like a good start. Edit: oops misread...I'm not going for fitness but figure status...Still heavy lifting is the key to…

I eat according to portions and not the size of the plate :-P plus I wait about 15 mins or more before deciding if I want seconds....which I usually say no to.

All my pics are from 2012 from August - December. My current pic is a before and after April 2012 to Dec 2012

I tend to weigh in every other Saturday morning because I make myself late for work trying to do it during the weekdays.

I would loooooovvvveee to do this! I'm not looking to lose weight but I do want to make a huge body transformation through strength training. So hopefully I will be many inches smaller come summer because I really want to hit the beach in a swim suit FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER :-)

I didn't take my body transformation as seriously as I should :-( 2013 will definitely have the discipline 2012 lacked.

"I liked you better before you lost weight" o_0

I used to wonder the same thing BUT getting up at 4:30 am everyday is not so bad once your body gets used to it. I like to get my workouts done first thing so no afternoon surprises can give me any excuses to skip a day.

This is my 6th year being natural and my first year of my body transformation journey. Go figure I never really learned how to take care of my ends and as my hair got longer I really let it get out of hand the same way I let my body go. So I'm now learning to maintain my hair with finger detangling, and along with a health…

My pic shows my 2012 accomplishments! 15 lbs down (140lb smallest size I've ever been!) and the best shape I've EVER been in! :-)

Today: 40 mins of Zumba Wii! Tomorrow (New Years Day!): Chalean Extreme Day 3

I'm still young and I want to stay that way, body and spirit, for a long time to come. I want to be able to be a good role model for my future kids, so I figure now is the time to start :-) Plus an awesome body does wonders in the confidence department! lol

Working out TOO much is hard to do. Everyone should do "something" physical at least 30 min everyday. Many "hardcore" fitness people take one day of rest if that. Usually 3-4 days of cardio, 5 days of strength is good enough (in no specific order). I'm in between routines at the moment but I try to burn at least 300 plus…

Must have a sportsbra...not a regular bra, a sports bra! lol and also my phone...I just feel weird without it.

Thanks everyone for the input! My initial goal was fat loss, hence my Zumba Christmas present and all my HIIT workout programs (Insanity, 30Shred, RI30), but next week I am starting Chalean Extreme. Hopefully that mixed with upping my calories will give me what I'm looking for. :-)

bump

I have stretch marks and no kids :-/ Do I get anything for that? lol

lol did you say 12 candy bars??? BETTER IDEA Take your fav chocolate protein mix and add to hot water....My protein tastes just like hot chocolate I drink it all the time :-)

Apparently the only slightly relevant people born on my b-day (feb 5) are Bobby Brown, and the Ladies Man (Tim Meadows) :-//// Edit: My redemption is people born in my year (1987) pretty much rock right now! Tim Tebow Wiz Khalifa Kesha Draco Malfoy Vinny and Snookie Hillary Duff Bow Wow Joss Stone The Smart Guy

These are not my only supporters but they are my oldest mfpals and they ROCK! Ge0rgiana monica2434 loveachallenge

Oh wow those macros sound awesome! Very doable :-) I'm glad something is finally working for you! Just in time for the new year! :-)

Simply lead by example. I plan to continue this healthy living for life therefore my future children will have a positive foundation to build off of.
