Okay.... So I somehow need to cut carbs (this has been a struggle) And I definitely need to work on lowering sodium (I focused on +Protein -Sodium today and think I did pretty well...) And I still need to add protein. I concentrated heavily today on high protein and still only got to about 90g of the 130-140 that I need,…

Guess I'm an impossible case... Lol

Bump for feedback. :)

It's helpful for vegetarians like me, though. I also eat Better 'n Peanut Butter brand, which is much lower in calories (but, then again, also a bit lower in protein).
-
I bring my own food or - yes - use the salad bar option. It's your body and your health. Don't worry about what other people think.

Yep. Chili's is a favorite restaurant of mine that I've had to give up... won't even go anymore. =/ Thankfully, The Cheesecake Factory really DOES have a "skinny" menu, now. You can request a lighter menu at The Olive Garden as well. ...and there are other places (TGI Fridays, maybe?). Some restaurants are making an…

awesome!!!!! so happy for you! :D

I'm not losing ANY weight, but I feel like I'm definitely losing inches. My clothes are getting baggy and I can see some muscle definition (although not much because I still have a bit of padding covering 'em up... not to mention loose skin, ugh!). I wish the scale were moving more - but I'm eating higher calories so I'm…

Yeah - I loved Cardio 2. It was tougher than Cardio 1 but I actually liked the moves more (with the exception of high knees - hate 'em!). It sucks that High Knees are in Cardio 2 and Workout 5... and that Wood Choppers are in Workouts 5 & 6... my least favorite moves and they're popping up all over the place! >.<
-
I don't think it's too easy (coming from three rounds of P90X right before this). It's also a great "get ready" phase... now that I'm in Phase 2 and she's throwing a lot of the moves together, so that upper and lower body are working together, or cardio + strength are happening at the same time, I'm glad I went through all…
-
I'm nearing the end of Week 1 in Phase 2 (did Workout 5 for the second time today). I'm worried about my knees, to be honest.... this Phase seems to have a LOT of plyometrics. And Plyo went out of style for a reason - it's bad for the knees! Especially worried that there is a lot of jumping in every DVD (workouts 5 & 6 +…
-
LOL Burpees are Jillian's favorite move - she has them in almost every one of her workout DVDs ... I love them, but a lot of people really hate 'em.
-
YES! Love, love, love. I am starting to worry about my knees, though... Phase 2 is really heavy on the jumping (both in the workouts and in the Cardio). This is why Plyometrics went out of style... we're not supposed to be jumping around this much, especially not every day!
-
I LOVE Cardio 2! It's totally intense, but I love every move (EXCEPT for High Knees... really dislike those). This one is littered with great quotes, too. "What's that smell? Can you smell that? That's the smell of fat evicerating off your body!" Lol
-
Oh, man... I heard some GREAT ones in Phase 2, Cardio 2 DVD of Body Revolution last night... I even wanted to pause the workout to write them down (But of course I didn't). Now I can't remember what they were.... one was about throwing up. Of course there's the moment in Workout 5 (also Body Revolution) where she talks…
-
Yeah - I think it depends on the guy and his work environment. Personally, although I would love to receive flowers at home as a random surprise.... I wouldn't really want them delivered to me at work. Now, if my Sig Other sent me a heart-shaped Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza at work... all for that! Lol
-
Shut up.
-
Castoreum has a nice ring to it.... might change my MFP name to that.
-
WOW!

I'm 5'4" and definitely wish I were 5'10" (ish)

It has been a long time since I've eaten a whole bar - I do have chocolate almost every day, though! I usually buy a bar and eat bits of it throughout the week. Or, more recently, I've been buying Hershey Kisses (Air Delights or Special Dark) and having a couple of those a day. Last weekend, though, I did melt down half of…
-
Yeah, I'm feeling Phase 2 is a bit imbalanced ... maybe it's this "superset" idea, but it feels like there are multiple moves in a row that really kill the same muscles/muscle groups - and that tires me out much faster.
-
Congratulations! And happy birthday! Wow - what an AWESOME gift to yourself!!

For casual dating, whatever is the legal age of consent. But I don't think that I could build a serious relationship with someone who is 10 or so years younger than I am... unless they are super mature. I went through a whole lot of changes in my early 20s (college years), so I can't imagine "settling down" with an 18 year…
-
Yikes... sounds like I might have to move the Cardio workouts out of my study and into the living room. Not sure I have enough space in my study for some of these moves...
-
Or maybe I'm the only one actually doing the Cardio? o.O Lol
-
Nope... not comfortable with that. Maybe if I ever get to my goal physique! Lol I just wear my workout clothes (except for shoes) to and from the gym (when I go - I usually workout at home).
-
^^^ I don't recommend those changable dumbbells, especially if you're going to be working with DVD programs. They usually move quickly, and sometimes it can be a pain in the butt to adjust the weights as you're going. They're also not always the most reliable/stable (depending on the type - the weights might shift, which…
-
Any thoughts on Cardio 2 vs. Cardio 1?
-
Thoughts on Cardio 2? I'm doing it tonight... and I'm worried. Cardio 1 wasn't exactly easy - and Workouts 5 & 6 are SO MUCH MORE INTENSE than 1 & 2 ... I'm kinda dreading going home. Lol Also... chop swings in both workouts?! Seriously?! She's out to kill me, I think.
