I feel like I need to start making a stronger effort to save in the grocery department after reading all of these responses. I spend on average, $200-$250 a week (including miscellaneous toiletries) for myself, husband and son (6 years old, not a big eater). I usually prep one dinner and daily lunches for both my husband…

I started my first round yesterday (5/31) and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't as sore as I thought I'd be when I woke up, but it's after noon now and I'm definitely starting to feel the after effects. Legs tonight...excited to see the results of this program! :smile:

I wake up at 4 on M, W & F and get started maybe 10-15 min. after that...on Saturday and Sunday I try to get my workout in right when I get up (730 or so) but usually it gets pushed to the afternoon.

My regular breakfast these days: 1/3 cup egg whites (you could use whole eggs too, just scramble them up in the bowl) wheat bagel slice of cheese (whatever is your preference) Spray microwave safe bowl or mug with cooking spray Place egg whites or eggs in bowl Microwave for 1 minute Stir eggs a bit Microwave for another 30…

I eat around 1500 on non-workout days and around 1800 on days that I do workout. Feel free to add me!

Trying to get my workout in before work so for the first time ever I woke at 4am to do 20 minutes of heavy lifting and 15 minutes of hiit. I feel great right now...hopefully I can stick with it!

I'm 5'11 and I'm between 155 and 160 right now. My goal weight is 145 but it is honestly hard for me to maintain that. When I hit 150 I usually start to feel more comfortable.

I make a large batch of breakfast burritos then freeze them. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half to fix them all but then you have a homemade breakfast at your disposal every morning for very cheap. You can also modify the ingredients to your dietary needs. Here's the recipe if you're interested: 18 burrito sized…

Hi there - I'm 5'11 and currently teeter between 150 and 156 but haven't been too strict with my diet/exercise for awhile. My goal is usually around 145-147 which is where I feel most comfortable. Anything lower than that is way too difficult for me to maintain and quite frankly just doesn' look good on me (in my opinion).…

Lunch: Boarshead Blazing Buffalo chicken breast, white american cheese, on fresh bakery multigrain bread w/ a little bit of mayo (yummy!) Snacks: Peanut Butter filled pretzels & Chobani Key Lime Flips

Most recently: 1/3 cup egg whites (you could use a whole egg or two as well, just scramble) slice of cheese whole wheat english muffin turkey bacon low fat milk coffee (I just spray a microwave safe mug with cooking spray and cook the egg whites in microwave for 1 1/2 min...same with bacon, just cook in microwave for a…

Around $200 a week for 2 adults and a growing 5 year old. We also eat out probably 2 times a week (i.e. Publix sub, or subway, etc.)

On Sundays I make a large batch of homemade breakfast burritos then freeze them for the week. You can do this with homemade egg mcmuffins as well. For the burritos, I scramble 12 eggs, cook up a bag of hashbrowns, cook 12 pieces of bacon and shred up some cheese. Each tortilla has 1/4 cup eggs, 1/2 cup potatoes, 1 piece of…

I tried just having a smoothie in the morning and I was always hungry shortly thereafter so I started making myself very quick homemade breakfast sandwiches: You Need: Whole Wheat English Muffin All Whites (or regular eggs if you prefer) Turkey Bacon (or regular microwavable bacon if you prefer) Cheese of your choice 1.…

My recipe is very similar to this one, and considering I don't eat alot of veggies throughout my day, it works out great! 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek Yogurt 1 banana 1 tbsp. Peanut Butter Handfuls of spinach (till blender is full) A few ice cubes (if desired) Very good and not too high…

Whole Wheat Bread Deli Meat Deli Cheese (we eat lots of sandwiches in our house) Greek Yogurt (I really like Chobani's Key Lime Flips right now for a sweet snack) Milk (1 or 2% organic) All Whites Turkey Bacon Whole Wheat English Muffins Ground Turkey Chicken Breast Lower Fat Ground Beef Protein Bars (Usually Cliff Builder…

These are items we almost always have in the house: Low fat Milk Greek Yogurt Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk - for smoothies Protein Bars Whey Protein Powder Cashews Sunflower seed kernels Turkey Jerky Whole Wheat English Muffins Whole Wheat sandwich bread Sandwich meat and cheese All - Whites Some type of cracker (wheat…

My last weekly trip was on Sunday at Publix. My family includes myself, my husband, and my 5 year old: Pantry: Organic Marinara Whole Wheat Spaghetti 2 cans No Sodium Added Green Beans Fresh Bakery Hamburger Buns 2 loaves of Sara Lee Whole Wheat Bread (one goes in freezer till needed) Thomas' Whole Wheat English Muffins…

+1. Exactly the same for me. If I don't take my Aleve (over the counter) right when I start to feel my cramps coming on, I'm in for some major cramping. Aleve is my lifesaver the first 24-48 hours of my period. Once I take it, working out is just as easy as any other day :)

My husband really wanted to start eating more fruits and vegetables so he started drinking a smoothie with these ingredients in the morning: 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt 1 heaping spoonful of Peanut Butter 1 banana 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder 4 cups baby spinach Ice He is…

I'm LOVING the Chobani Key Lime Flips right now. It is key lime flavored yogurt with graham cracker crust pieces and white chocolate chips. It is 200 calories, but it is so delicious, high in protein, and no artificial sweetener. I just make sure I fit it into my calories...perfect way to kick my sweet craving.

Scrambled egg, turkey sausage, and shredded cheddar on whole wheat toast (sandwich) :smile:

Items I purchase every 3-4 days: Spinach (both my husband and I have green smoothies every day), Bananas, Whole Wheat Bread, Organic Milk Items I must have in the house, but purchase less frequently: Eggs, Peanut Butter, Protein Bars, Whey protein powder, lunch meat & cheese, greek yogurt, almond milk, whole grain…

I was on NuvaRing for a couple of years and never gained any weight from it but it did cause me to have sharp pains on the left side of my chest which was pretty scary. I stopped using it and the pain has gone away. I don't use any form of hormonal BC anymore.

I wonder the same thing sometimes but I have found, just as others have suggested, that if it fits in my alloted calories for the day I am fine. I do think it makes me a little more bloated in the morning, but other than that, haven't seen much of a change on the scale or my measurements. :drinker: Edit: Also, one of my…

5'11 Starting weight - Highest was 156, Size 6-8 Current weight - 146, Size 4 Goal weight - 140, I'm fine with a Size 4

Congrats on baby # 5!!! That's so wonderful :smile: With my son, I didn't weigh less when I had him than before I got pregnant, but I did lose weight during the first trimester. The loss was due to my switching to a healthy diet (as opposed to fast food, and essentially eating whatever I felt like) and no longer having…

Thank you :smile:

I've completed Insanity and I'm currently doing a TurobFire/Lifting hybrid. I absolutely love TurboFire :)
