hmmmm. i definitely want to check this book out . Sounds interesting..

New Fav post workout snack is World Table Vanilla Dusted Almonds. 160 Calories for 1/4cup. So good and healthy

I have the same issue with my sleeping hours. I love sugar free jello cups. Its only 10 calories and if you add 2tbsp of FAT free redi whip you only add 5 more calories... its yummy

Morning work outs are great. Even if its only a 10 or 15 min warm up to get your day started. I know it wakes me up and helps me get the day going.

My new obsession http://www.viddler.com/explore/getfitwithchad/videos/3/ - great ab workout

I feel your pain with the gain. I always am up or down 5lbs and its saddens me everytime i go up on the scale. But it always happens after a day of intense working out because I do drink way more water than I usually do. So give it a few days and Im sure you will see a drop! :)

I was under my calorie goal however I stepped on my scale this morning and gained 1.5 lbs. Must have been those sweet potatoes weighing me down and all the water I drank. Definitely going to have to work harder to get that off. I was doing so well.

I hear you on this girl! You just got to suck it up and keep at it. I have not lost any weight either, just maintaining but I can definitely feel and see a difference :)

today was day 14 and i just moved to level two and boy it is way more intense than level one. Phew! Definitely going to keep focused though. Good luck to everyone.

I log it as circuit training for 25 mins . Roughly , depending on your weight i believe about 180 calories.

I am doing the 30 day shred right now. On day 13 today!!! I love it. However I have not lost 1lb yet I can feel myself getting more toned and building more muscle. I am probably losing inches. I choose to do level 1 for 2 weeks . Tomorrow I will be switiching to level two for one week and then onto level 3. Good luck. Im…

I just started doing the 30 day shred as well. I am on day three today! I am pretty active and exercise regularly however with my work schedule I needed something I could just come home and jump into. I heard great things about this dvd and hoping that it works. I have noticed Ive actually gained about 1.5 lbs since I…

Awesome! Im definitely excited to see how I manage today. Im sure I will be coated in sweat head to toe by the end. As far as taking a break or leaving the class. I asked my friend and she said that you are able to leave the room if you need a break or you can lay down. I guess it all depends on the instructor?

I am hooked on crystal light to go packets and propel to go packets. My favortie crystal light one is hunger statisfaction strawberry banana . Its so good.

Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it. My friend was telling me that it is pretty intense and you do sweat an enormous amount so I should drink a lot of water before going. I will give it a go this once to see what its about and ill let you all know if I make it out alive..haha

pb2 rocks. I cant go a day with out it

Everyone has their days . Mine happens to be late at night when I typically get hungry due to a hectic work schedule. You can definitely allow yourself to "let go" occasionally as long as you do it in moderation. I always portion everything out. I have a small cermaic cup that is equivalent to 1/2 cup. I usually eat out of…

Awesome Job Girl! Stay motivated and I am positive you will get to where you want to be. :)

I see myself getting botox in the future but thats about it. I wish I had bigger boobs, but God made me what I am and he didnt give me a whole lot so ill manage with just a padded bra lol

Agreed. I am thrilled to see the abundance of quality vegetarian/vegan options in stores today. Its great!!

Vegetarian here as well. :smile: Not all the way vegan , but almost at 100% there. Still love my occasional egg here and there and of course cheese. Would love to here any great ideas or recipes .

Hey ! I am a vegetarian myself. We can stick together ! I have been meat free for the last 5 years and it has definitely made a huge difference in my life! What made you want to be come vegetarian if you dont mind me asking ? I am not a full vegan as I do occasionally eat an egg here and there and some diary products but I…

Hey ! I have heard of this disorder and it is very hard to cope with. So I can completely understand how you feel. The best advice I can give you is to minimize your life with the essentials. What I mean by this as an example is do not try to planning so much into a small timeframe. When you find yourself getting anxious…

I definitely am on board with this.

This definitely sounds like a great recipe and a winner in my book. I will have to test it out , thanks for sharing

Hey!! :) I just recently started and this is a great site if you are looking for motivational friends ! Welcome Aboard! Good luck with everything and if you ever need a push , let me know :)

Ener-G is not the same as what is in those drinks . Itis just a substitute that mimics what eggs actually do in any baking process and for those who can not use eggs.. I usually buy mine online at ener-g.com its about $7.00. Or you can just use one egg for the recipe and it will come out the just asgood :)

I have a ton of recipes but this one is my favorite , its not cooking but involves baking!! If you are craving cake this is a great alternative and is absolutely phenomenal!! Vegan Apple Cake Ingredients: Butter, softened (I used Earth Balance – 4 tbspns) 3 tablespoons Sugar 3/4 cup Ener-G (in place of 1 egg)1 and 1/2…

I find if you keep yourself busy , it takes your mind away from wanting to eat. Doing just little errands here and there around the house or outside away from food helps best.

I am just like you. I weight myself as soon as I wake up in the morning and once before I go to bed. You're actual weight is always what the scale says in the morning though because your body has had time to process the calories taken in and recover from excerise etc from the previous day . Dont get frustrated in regards…
