I know it's not, chock-full of sugars but it was my bf and my first experiment with the juicer and I was nervous about how good this would actually taste. I'll be experimenting with vegetable mixtures over the next few weeks.

I'm 5'9 and I started at 175, went all the way down to 140 and then had some life changes that took me back up to 160. I loved the 40's and my actual goal was 130, but I had a ton of people telling me to stop losing weight... lol. I'll try and get some before/after pics up.

I own, teach on and am a certified distributor of x-poles so of course I'll recommend you go that route! LOL. I've danced on homemade poles and lil mynx poles but I just didn't feel as secure as when I get my hands around an x-pole. In the four years I've been teaching and dancing on the same pole at home I've never had an…

You can still do some calculations. For a rough estimate I would suggest taking your heart rate every 15 mins. Try and remember how long your really strenuous actions were and what your heart rate was for a 5 or 10 sec interval. Then just add them to the best of your memory when you get home : ) I had the same trouble when…

I have a friend who is going through his P90x2 program right now and loving it. I would perhaps say that you should wait until you're done with the first program until you think about moving on though. The original program is meant to take you the distance and keep you working. That's why they have three different modes to…

While seeing that I've gained a pound does suck, it doesn't get me down. I realize that throughout the day I'm taking in food and liquids and I expect to see a difference when I weigh myself before bed. I've lost 30lbs, I'm not stopping now LOL. I was just curious what people thought about post workout weights vs standard…

Height 5' 9" Weight 145.8lb (hey that .8 counts! :D ) Neck 13.5 Left Arm 10.5 Right Arm 11 Under boobs 30 Round boobs 35 Waist 28 Round belly button 33.5 Round bum 38.5 Hips 36.5 Left leg 21.5 Right leg 21.5 I'm stoked to see that across the board I'm out of the 40's in measurements. My bf found our starting measurements…

I'm 5'9" and while I usually wear tennies or flats I do like getting dressed up in heels once in a while. I also teach pole dance and I have some killer platforms. The tallest I can BARELY walk in (8") and that puts me well up to 6' 5"! Talk about intimidating! Now if I could just stop clutching the wall for support...

You've never really taken food seriously? This is where your mentality needs to change! Food is simply fuel for our bodies. For whatever reason it has become more about family, fun and celebration... but really it's simply a way to keep our bodies moving. Start watching what you're putting in your body, when you're doing…

Dang! You're a beast!

Been there, done that. I had back surgery and a three week hospital liquid diet that had me 50lbs lighter seemingly overnight. I was asked if I was a model, I won first runner up in a beauty pageant... and I started eating nothing on purpose. It took 10 years for the weight to come back but I'm bound and determined to take…

I had thought the same thing. I can't SEE my improvements but recently my bf found our starting measurements for the failed P90x experiment and I had lost a ton of inches! It was real proof staring me in the face that I couldn't explain away like I would usually try. Weight is only a number... results are what are tangible.

That's awesome!!

That's too funny. We wear the yellow kevlar gloves where I work... in a factory... handling red hot and sharp metal parts 1,000 times a day. They actually work pretty well... Never had thought to bring a pair home and use them in the kitchen. lmao

Tell me about it! I started roughly 175 and I'm down to 148 as of this am. And I finally got the nerve to try on bras at walmart the other night and was nearly reduced to tears to realize that I'd shrunk from a 40D to a 34B. The nerve of my body. I swear.

Back in 2007 my husband went through navy boot camp and came out looking fiiiiiiiine. I moved down to FL when he was sent to further schooling and his new level of fitness motivated me to start working out too. I dropped nearly 20 lbs but gained it all back when we moved back home and I had to go back to work. We're…

CONGRATS on the willpower! Even if they don't all get eaten, send 'em home with someone else!

Not sure what NSV stands for...lol. But way to go! Just check out your local second hand shops. I pick up clothes there like perfectly great jeans for $2.50 and it makes it less heartbreaking and budget breaking when I don't fit them two weeks later!

As long as the person doing it isn't all kind of creepy I really don't see it as being all that uncomfortable. I just think of it like one of my favorite scenes from Friends. Jen's character is dating an OBGYN doctor and she's getting frustrated because it doesn't seem like he wants to sleep with her. She finally comes out…

I worked as a manager in McDonalds for two years. And I put on 30lbs. I felt disgusting. I was tired, getting sick constantly and stressed out to the max. Yeah, 95% of the world are jerks and for whatever reason they all feel their fries need to be hot enough to scorch the inside of their stomach and their sandwich needs…

I did have one. Yesterday. And I shouldn't have. I'll be using the treadmill interrupted only by brief self flogging sessions. Don't do it! lol

@Wolfchild... np! That actually clears up my confusion. I thought perhaps I could just track overall heart rate and just translate that into a rough estimate of what I was burning since my bpm is usually up in the 120-130's. I guess I'm just not going to worry about it. I'm healthier than I've ever been and I'm losing…

I think the general suggestions is that you go with classic first and then the lean. The classic program is one that will work on overall fitness, help you build up some muscle and gain a better over all ability. Once you've graduated from that 90 days, you can take your short break and jump into the cardio. I tried the…

Thanks, I already have my profile set for 'active' lifestyle because besides the work I also dance and walk the treadmill when I have a few spare minutes. So I guess I just won't worry about it. : D As for eating under 1,000 calories... I'm doing well for myself. I'm coming from a past of straight anorexia and exercise…

Some DVD's out there are getting good reviews, the only problem is that once you outgrow them they sit on your shelf and never get touched. I would really just recomend spending a night on youtube perving popular pole videos. There are tons of 'how to' videos out there as well as simply wonderful routines and women who…

When I say that I took the first round of Hydroxycut awhile ago, what I mean is that it was a matter of months. I never took anything with the ephedra in it because I once snuck a few of my mother's diet pills when I was 18 or 19 and experienced dizziness and racing heart beat. It was enough to scare the hell outta me. I…

No, BMR is your basic metabolic rate. Mine for instance, a female at 5'9" and 154lbs at age 29 is in the 1,500 range. BUT if I want to lose 2lbs per week at an averagely active lifestyle I'm to eat roughly 1,200 calories, which leaves me short little more than 2200 calories per week without factoring in any exercise that I…

Only in extreme, extreme cases can you get water poisoning and die. You're fine as long as you don't feel sick and you aren't using it as a way to avoid eating. The reason many girls with eating disorders have the join problems and fluid retention issues is because every time they're hungry, they drink a ton of water to…

OCD self-weighing checklist: 1) first thing in the morning (no food yet... brilliant!) 2) use the restroom (cause the bladder can hold like half a lb. of liquid... lmao, I've compared) 3) before shower (you don't even wanna know how much water thick hair to the middle of your back can hold!) 4) completely naked (cause the…
