You could try and do some weight lifting for your arms and shoulders. Bicep curls, tricep kick backs and lifts that target your shoulders. Your core and your chest get the brunt of push ups, but you are also using your arms and shoulders and added strength in those areas will help a ton. I've never done 30DS, but I have…

Give it time. Your body is just retaining water while it gets used to the whoop *kitten* workout you are doing. You will find that the weight will come back off and keep coming off.

Totally inspired!!!!!

It's an awesome feeling isn't it!?!?!?!

<raising her hand> "Here!"

A body hugging dress that would show every bump and bulge if you have them.

I'd be happy at 20%, but I know once I'm there I'd go for the 17-18%.

Why the heck do people do this sort of thing? It dumbfounds me. Are they doing it on purpose? Are they so insecure that they want to make sure you don't change? <sigh>

I had a mini goal to get my BMI in what they call 'normal'. I reached that last week. My next mini goal is 5 pounds which will be my mini goals for a bit yet. My overall goal is to get my BF in the 20-22% range no matter what weight I am at.

My goal is about 145 lbs, but really only concerned with BF%. I am going for a goal of 20%. I'm 5'7" and currently at 157lbs, 28% BF and size 10. It will take time to get there.

I weigh myself almost every day when I first get up. It's my motivation to get myself to work out that day.

^^^^ I like these too! I also like lying on your side tricep presses. No weights involved, but form is everything. The tricep kickbacks - I do two versions - 1. normal with your hands parallel to your body and then 2. more intense as you alternate between the inside of you wrists up and then the back or your hand up.

I like the burn in the muscles when you are getting close to your last rep. I like the 'good' soreness you feel a day or two later. What I really like is how the muscles transform your body. I feel strong, I'm starting to look strong. I don't plan on getting all beefy, but I think that curves made by toned healthy muscles…

Congrats on the first week!!!

I already use fish oil, but I will look at the webiste you listed. The pain has been ongoing (thought it was syotic) and I finally got fed up and went to the doc. They said it's not sinal, but muscle/skeletal) gave me a week's worth to see if it would help, it did. I hate taking meds so if it all comes back, I just wanted…

I was doing so good until I got to our friends pool. I had worked out, ate a light lunch. Got to our friends' pool and we started drinking. It was SO hot outside, the drinks went down like water. Thankfully we played with the kids in the pool, but I woke up with a wee headache. I started to log my dinner and gave up. I…

My motivation to stick with it is how my body is starting to feel. I can't see some of the muscles yet, but I can sure feel them under there. I feel strong! My legs and arms are showing some definition and this morning I noticed that my shoulders are too. My inspiration: Lisa Rinna - she is older than me, but I have a…

As long as you are not working the same muscles, then you could still lift. Otherwise do some cardio and rest the muscles.

Gotta say it... Nice wood you got there Peanut!

Rusty Wisconsin Sounds like I would be wearing an iron maiden and a cheese hat

Yesterday was all lifting. Today was cardio with a bazillion squats and jumps. P90X Plyo - burned 525 calories. I can repost what I did all yesterday if you want some boring reading. My weight lifting workouts are all 60 minutes.

Here's mine from yesterday. Today I just did the P90X Plyo workout. Burned 525 calories. I am sore from yesterday's wokout, but it's a good sore! Oh and i reweighed myself today and my weight is 157 now! From yesterday: I'm in! Just took measurements a week ago or so. weight: 159 Height: 5' 7" Body Fat: 28.5 waist: 31.5"…

^^^^ Exactly! I'm concentrating on my BF and not necessarily my weight. My lifting is 3 times a week for 60 minutes (P90X). I'm not interested in competition intensity training, but I can tell that inches are burning off and I'm starting to see some nice sculpting. Can't wait for more BF to burn off!

I'm in! Just took measurements a week ago or so. weight: 159 Height: 5' 7" Body Fat: 28.5 waist: 31.5" hips: 39" chest: 36 right arm: 13" relaxed left arm: 13" relaxed right thigh: 23.5" left thigh: 23.5" Today's workout: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps Slow-Motion 3-in-1 Push ups: 12 on toes In & Out Shoulder Flys: 16 reps…

"Just keep swimming!" - Dorie the Blue Fish

I've been to both male and female strip clubs, well the male was more of the Thunder type deal. IMO, females can wiggle, crawl and writhe on the floor and act more like sex kittens which works well for men as they are all visual. For women, we like to wonder what is under those tight jeans. With men stripping, all they can…

I will reward myself with a new outfit, so however much I lost to make my old clothes baggy is my reward trigger.

Cheers to a great ba-donk-ka-donk!!! :glasses:

We got some of the premade smoothies that Pure Portein offers for those times when we don't have time. We have tried their orange, key lime and mix berries. Since I am particular about the taste of this type of stuff, I really like them.

I hate the powders that taste chalky (tried several years ago) and I got the JM vanilla cream and was surprised how good it tastes.
