i get that exact thing too, but ONLY on the elliptical, regardless of the shoes i wear. i have no problem with this on the treadmill.

you look great!

i'm in! just did p90x legs and back today. so, this can be day one!

yes. only organic unhomogenized.

hello! i am 5'3 started at 163 in august 2011 now at 147 (December 15 2011) goal is 125-130 - maybe 3-5 months to get there? I am ok losing it slowly as i am changing my lifestyle to be healthier and am not "dieting". i want to lose it and keep it off and maintain a healthy lifestyle. i do p90x classic (currently at week…

i am 5'3 and my goal is 130-135. i am at 147 now, so hopefully i'll be there in the next 3 months or so...

i agree. i like the trader joe's organic cream on top milk. it's not homogenized, which makes it easier for people to digest. so, this brand may be better if you get bloating with milk. go by how you feel. i stopped drinking milk completely for a while and noticed no difference in my weight loss, mood, energy etc. i always…

me too. horrible....

i think cymbalta is a great drug for many chronic pain conditions. it helped me a lot going through a transitional time and coping with anxiety. HOWEVER, i have always been 125-135 pounds (i am 5'3) and within 2 years , I gained 30 pounds on cymbalta - no change in diet ---and i worked out like crazy to lose the weight,…

gap body. lacy & comfy!

eat them back. if you go into starvation mode (i think that is under 1200 calories a day, but it may vary depending on the person) , it will cause your metabolism to slow down and your body will store more fat.

hormones and brain chemistry can play a huge part in how we relate to and process food.

these books are easy reads and are legit in their research :) master your metabolism by jillian michaels http://www.amazon.com/Master-Your-Metabolism-Naturally-Balancing/dp/0307450732 the amen solution http://www.amazon.com/Amen-Solution-Brain-Healthy-Weight/dp/0307463605

it gets easier - hang in there! so great that you are trying. you WILL notice improvement. one day at a time.

amazing! well done! you look great :)

i log the strength training days under strength training and it way underestimates the calories i burned. i do modified push ups (girlie style) and use 3-5 pound weights. still getting a great workout and good results. the ab ripper kills me but i know it works really well!

you look strong and fit. your arms look very strong, but slightly bigger than the rest of your body. i get the same thing if i lift heavy weights, even if it's 8 pounds. i have to keep the weights lower to avoid getting my arms too big. smaller weights, many reps. maybe he feels a bit threatened because you could probably…

me too! welcome!

feel free to add me!

i like rodney yee. he recently came out with a dvd called "daily yoga." i like his intermediate yoga and power yoga too. also, sarah ivanhoe "yoga on the edge" is good - more challenging than rodney yee. they both film a lot of their dvds in nature, which i way prefer to a studio setting.

hip hop abs! shaun t is great!

Hello! I just added you :)

p90x it's fantastic. Start with low weights. I just use 3 pound weights and am getting good results. I may up to to 5 pounds for some of the exercises. I am in my second week of the classic program. I also do the push ups "girlie style" and use resistance bands for the pull ups. jillian is good too, but there is more…

I am reading Jillian Micheal's Master Your Metabolism. It's a good read and very doable. Her research is legit. I am working on balancing my hormones too and find that this is a great guide. I also like this book too - or anything by Amen. http://www.amazon.com/Amen-Solution-Brain-Healthy-Weight/dp/0307463605. It takes in…

me too!

Hi Guys! I've been doing this for about 2 months and would love to have some buddies too! I think it would help with motivation and support. Feel free to add me as a friend (I don't have any yet). My goal is to lose 20-30 pounds more. I am doing P90x for my fitness routine. Thanks! Amanda

I'm in! it's my first challenge too! Been doing this alone so far...
