I have been anemic as well, mine is on again off again and the Dr has no idea why. When I feel myself getting really weak I take an iron supplement with OJ 2x a day until I feel myself back on track. Hopefully that's all it is ;)

Awesome!!

I have been doing the 30d shred here and there too - she's pretty kick-*kitten* lol. I need to get consistent - it's hard when always running around with the kids, work etc. Time to stop making excuses and start making time for me.

That's great to hear :) I like the Shaun T workouts, he can be a bit cheesy but I've always had results.

I'm in but as this is my first time are these to be done over the weekend or both days?

I am in a similar situation too - the lovely lose and gain see saw. let motivate each other and get back to feeling good again :)

Hello! I am in the same boat as far as on again off again on here. I would love it if we could help motivate each other to stay on track :)

I have started Insanity at least 4 times in the last year and a half and never make it past the 2nd workout. Hearing everything in this post is motivating me to get back to it!

My boys (6 and 8) just won't eat enough protein so sometimes I add half a scoop of whey protein to their muffins or cookies. As long as it's good protein without chemicals etc then it can only be beneficial.

I always keep whey protein powder in the house. Sometimes after a workout I don't have time to make a high protein meal for recovery and so I make a shake. That said like many of the others have said try not to make it a staple in your diet. It's all about balance :)

I totally agree - it helps having ppl encouraging you :) Feel free to me add me too :D

That's great and good for you! If I have a major craving I have a little of what I want and am sure to hit the gym extra hard. I can not give up Coffee w/ sugar or wine/beer/pizza. But I limit when and how much. Life is about balance and if I deprive myself of all the things I enjoy I set myself up for failure.

What are the fat/protein/carb etc breakdowns for this? It sounds delicious!

Exactly, that's the way it is with me.

Oikos Greek yogurt cherry on the bottom - 90 cals - it's like eating dessert but all healthy fats and calories :happy:

My trainer said that if I eat right and weight train to take off the fat the skin will pull tight but it takes time. I'm hoping before I'm 40 I can have the tummy I fantasize about :D That said everyone needs to do what makes them happy so I'm not judging :)

Amazing!!!

Wow amazing! You are truly an inspiration!

Me too - it was the 2nd pregnancy that I found hard to lose - still struggling 6yrs later 10pds off then the 10lbs goes back on. I also blame age ;) With my first baby I would exercise during the morning nap and clean during the afternoon nap (which is pretty good exercise too!) Plus with an infant you can tuck them in the…

Thanks everyone for all the info. I haven't gained weight but haven't lost much either. I was just curious if I was over doing it because of MFP, it always says I'm over. I find the protein keeps me full longer and with greek yogurt it doesn't sit heavy. I think I'll stick with what I've been doing. By adding more protein…

Love it! I would personally take a sip of that coffee, look her right in the eye and say mmmmmmmm ;)

I think it depends on the brand too. I only like Liberte and oikos. They are both creamy and delicious. If plain isn't for you there's vanilla and a variety of flavors that add sweetness. It's an amazing source of protein but like the others said if it isn't for you then it isn't. Find something that works for you like…

You're an inspiration! Absolutely amazing!!!

I have 2 boys 6 and almost 8. Feel free to add me too! MFP is amazing and all the support helps with staying focused!

I had a particularly bad food weekend. Probably un-did all the work from last week. No matter what just re-focus and don't think about what's done just focus on what you're going to do from here onward! Lots of lemon water with some cayenne pepper is on the menu the next 2 days for me (as well as my normal calories) and…

Being on here and having support will definitely help!

So True! You can do this, add me too and we can keep each other on track!
