I'm 39, I meet the criteria.....right???....lol :)

I'd love to help motivate!!!

Haha....that's funny....well I'm here to help!!!

Well lifting light weights like that are only going to help tone or preserve what muscle you do have. Doing too much cardio can eat into your muscles, so make sure your eating enough protein. I don't go to the gym, but I do Chalean Extreme at home, currently lifting 10,15,20lb dumbbells....need some 30's though. I would go…

Wow, great job. How long did it take for you to reach that goal? You look fantastic!

He might not feel so confident with himself now, especially if you are looking better. If he's on anti-depressants this can be a cramp in the bedroom, he may not be in the mood due to that. Build up his self esteem as best you can, compliment him. I wouldn't push him too hard, men tend to pull away more when you do that.

Let's just say my keyboard is caked in crumbs and a mystery goo cause I eat all my meals/snacks on the computer scanning through everything on MFP. My son bugs me to play with him on & off throughout the day and I tell him to "wait just a minute, mommy's working"....I have to say "work" is great (:

I'm doing the hybrid, plus a little extra some days. I just started the 2nd phase a week ago....like this one better since Chalene isn't making you do lunges & squats at the same time with upper body.....she can kill you sometimes...lol. Looking forward to the lean phase. Currently using 10, 15 & 20lbs. for push phase…

I love sweet potatoes, oatmeal, egg whites and grilled chicken breasts. They are all very filling.

One child, boy....he'll be 3 in October....(he's a Dennis the Menace). Been a stay at home mom since he was born. Gets boring and lonely sometimes, but I am blessed to be able to stay home with him.

I think about kicking someone in the face that I can't stand, how I am going to look so much better than them when I get to my goal.......and I think about how Christian Grey would be so proud of me for exercising more than 4 days a week and eating properly :tongue:

I'm curious to why she said no protein or not very much, is it because of your surgery?

You get more bang out of one serving of whey protein than eating an egg or two. Actually you would need to eat around 4-5 gets to get the same amount of protein out of one scoop of whey protein and you would consume tons more calories and fat from the eggs. 1 scoop of whey protein = (140-170 calories appr., 1.5g of fat)…

Well 2 weeks is nothing. You can't just start a new workout regiment and expect immediate results. I started 1 1/2 months ago and am starting to see results.....not in the form of weight loss, but in muscle tone and how my clothes fit. I suggest measuring every 2 weeks or so and stop fixating as much on the scale. Your…

LMAO.....thank you for saying that....that's what I tell people all the time.

I can't agree with you more.....so addictive even though the writing is so-so....I'm on round 2 after reading the trilogy (I was having withdrawals)....can't wait til the movie comes out.

I have the same problem, less than 10lbs. to lose and the scale won't budge. My body is making some changes, getting more toned. I have stubborn abdominal fat that won't go away, but my abs are getting firmer. I actually have a 2 pack at the top...haha. Cardio has not really done anything for me, but I have noticed more…

I was terrible drinking water too. I bought a sports bottle with a straw and it made it so much easier (something about the straw). I have 2 of them now and always have one chilled in the refrigerator ready to go. Try getting some exercise programs to do at home when you can't get to the gym.....I've never stepped foot…

Count your pulse for 10 seconds and times that count by 6, that should give you your answer. Compare that amount to your HRM and the bike monitor and see which is more accurate.

Well they both are crap....meaning you shouldn't drink either. Anything with artificial sweetners will just enhance food cravings, plus they can cause cancer......is it really worth it to drink diet sodas. But to give you the answer you initially asked for....it would be coke zero. I miss the stuff like crazy, but I love…

Great job, amazing results so far....keep it up. I bet your feeling so much better now. I love seeing people's before and after pics.

I was on week 3, but then got Chalean Extreme....so I combined the 2 programs together using the hybrid schedule....so now I'm on week 2 1/2 with Turbofire and Chalean. Though adding weights with the cardio would get me better results. Feel free to add me, I'm on here ALOT. P.S.- Keep pushing play!!

Turbofire.....I have a whole collection of workout DVDs collecting dust, but this is not one of them. First program I have ever stuck with......it's the music I think that keeps me going. Chalene Johnson has kick butt music and has the beats worked into the choreograph of the workouts. She knows when to slow down your…

The only thing I don't like about Supreme 90 is how fast they go with the weight lifting. To get maximum benefits weights should be lifted slower and you should maintain good form to prevent injuries.....in this workout program they swing the dang weights around and look like they are competing to see who can finish…

AMAZING work!! You'll have to let me know what you did to look that great!

That's what I did, he can eat crap if he wants, but I don't have too. So sometimes he makes his own dinner, so I don't have to cook 3 seperate dinner (one for him, one for my picky toddler, and one for me). This past week though he has ate what I have made and said it wasn't that bad. There are some resaurants that have a…

Lol....muscle actually doesn't weigh more than fat.....you even proved that with your example of 5lbs. of fat vs. 5lbs. of muscle. But you are correct in saying that fat takes up more space, that's why people have to measure......the scale may say absolutely nothing for a long time, but the measuring tape may tell a…

Just started a hybrid program of Turbofire and Chalean Extreme. Would love to have a small challenge group to work with. I love sharing all my activity and food logs everyday. I get alot of people asking me for tips and love giving motivation,.....it keeps me motivated. Let me know if your interested in adding me to your…

Great info. on eating small meals, vs. 3 large meals. Your body will only take in so much at one sitting and if you eat some big huge meal it can store some of that as fat, so keeping it eating 5-6 small meals a day keeps it even.....no overwhelming it's system and it's constantly digesting which helps your metabolism and…

Incredible results, keep up the good work. I want to see more pics at day 60.
