Add black coffee! I just did this and am drinking my chocolate protein powder with milk and black coffee. Went from hot mess to tasty mocha :drinker:

I'm back on day 5. Had a gynecologic situation come up. But I'm recovered from my procedure and plan on doing day 6 tomorrow!

I use 5lbs, but Ihave 3lbs in case the 2nd and 3rd level are too hard.

This was fantastic! Not the grease - soaked nightmare I get at sports bars, but a lighter alternative. I'm retraining my tastebuds, and this definitely satisfied the craving.

You ladies all look fab! To PPs looking for advice, click on each person's profile. Most of them have an FAQ with diet and exercise.

Hi there! We've been trying for over a year (male factor infertility) so this is old hat to me. 1. Start your prenatal vitamins now. The folic acid is critical for baby's spine and brain in the earliest days; before you can even know if you're pregnant. 2. Pick up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Wechsler.…

Bump to save this to my topics. I was lying awake last night thinking about Mugshot's fried pickle chips!

I'm using 5lbs, but I may use 3lbs if they feel too heavy later on.

*Gulp* These are my starting measurements. Height: 5'4" (Hopefully this won't change) Weight: 155 lbs Wrist: 6.5 inches Waist: 31 inches Hip: 44 inches Forearm: 10 inches Thigh: 26 inches Calf: 15 inches

Hello ladies. My name is Lorelei. I'm a 22 homemaker, working on overcoming male factor infertility. My primary MFP goal is to finish the 30 day shred! I got to L2D2 last time before crashing. While some people find it motivating to work out with their husbands, it failed for me. He's much stronger, and I kept trying to…

I've been logging as 25 min circuit training, general as well. It all depends on how high you get your heart rate though. I use 5-lb weights and am covered in sweat. To me, it seems like 234 calories worth of effort. 1.1*my weight only equals 170 calories. I get that from a 25 minute walk. Jillian Michaels is no walk in…

I'm in! Last time I only made it to day 12. Hopefully this will make me more accountable. I took before measurements today, and am contemplating pictures.

Are you kidding me? This is a HUGE difference! You should be way proud of yourself!

Happens to me every month too. Depending on carbs, salt, and stress, it's been as high as 8 pounds a cycle. Awful. The good thing is that as soon as the witch is gone, I lose the water plus the weight. Now that's a satisfying weigh-in!

I'm 5'4" and at 155 as of this morning. I started eating back my exercise calories and C25k last week, and have lost three pounds! Before, on 1200 cal a day, I never had the energy or resolve to both diet and exercise. Now, as long as I watch the junk, I've got enough calories to keep me fueled for workouts. Hopefully we…

The punches/ fist jabs from level 1 get my heart rate right up!
