your muscles really need replenishment after intense workouts, esp significant weight-lifting. get some good protein in w/in 30 minutes...I do a whey protein mix/shake that give me 20g of protein per scoop. if you're very hungry, up your calories 'til you feel satisfied and are still dropping.

Mojo Who? o.k. you gotta hear it to appreciate it. Funny thing about Mojo...you don't really need to find it, reallly. The trick is that as soon as I get out of bed I get my workout gear/clothes on, turn on Music Choice (HD channels), get my coffee fix while I check in here and get moving. Just a simple routine...no need…

BethanyAnn14, Nothing has changed since your post yesterday...YOU still are not fat and this so called friend of yous is not either.

in the past, i would've agreed, but PERSONALLY, I get a better day in if I keep my coffee mornings and load up lunch for my intense workouts...but my days are not the norm. just saying.

GORGEOUS! hope you put this print on your fridge :love:

my mantra :plan, log, move and put the fork down

the obstacle I have to overcome comes around every 3 months...my follow-up doctor's visit. It's been a royal pain to flunk every other test, and pay the price (literally, as well) with his refusal to refill my prescriptions for blood pressure, asthma..etc. I've always been at the very top of a normal BMI, but that's not…

remember that "take with food" usu means a few crackers or almonds...I know the cravings are difficult, but it really is a sense we can overcome most of the time...really. keep yourself busy, esp at night...I stay right here, on my laptop. chocolate on the keyboard would be sticky! great that you're trying :flowerforyou:

just getting started...again. wish I could've just made the lifestyle change w/o all the crap that never holds out. keeping it real now. welcome all, v

looking fly! love it.........congrats and strut that suit. your confidence will make all the difference. great NSV, thx for sharing

lifting significant weights can help so much...changes all those numbers numbers!

our kiddos hardly have a chance with those Meatballs making decisions like that!

yum, metal chips with ball-bearing gunk :tongue:

I think you just proved why fast food is pretty bad.......most folks chose from the last list!

Is it this, workout is 4 minute long super intense interval training and you will need your interval timer. Set your timer for 12 rounds of 5 and 15 second intervals. You will be pushing at your max. effort during each 15 second interval....? great for intervals! major fat burning and shaking up your metabolism.... I wear…

on very intense workout days, esp significant weights day, I always allow for more protein....gotta get my fiber in at every opportunity, too.

If it's anything like YogaX, it should be amazing!

Log your entire day first thing! I really helps

some little sh*ts were never taught right... be careful, he'll prob be at that same checkout 10 years from now.

fish n chips with chocolate cake....?! why the heck even log that..?!

As contradictory as this may sound, part of my problem stems from the same mental obstacles... Growing up MISS BONES I have the same warped mentality...only I can't completely identify with my over-weight body, and therefore refuse to see what's actually the truth, unless I'm reading the doctor's report. You are absolutely…

chalupas for my go-to crunchy, spicey, healthy foods....meal or snack crispy tostada fat-free beans picante and all the salad fixings you got...yum

wow, had no idea there were so many sites that keep you plugged in! Still looking for that book, too.....anyone have a favorite?

really, Arrid XXX is the way to go!

that'll really help...check e-mails first thing and go straight from there. so much easier these days, thx

I knew you would ask that..ha ha...just couldn't edit fast enough :bigsmile:

I love a lettuce wrap w/turkey (and jalapenos) Quick Fresh Crunchy Oh, and that's a lettuce leaf wrapped around a sliver/slender piece of turkey....

O.K....most of you are not going to like my response, but WTH As a financially-wise couple, we would never just pop into Hardee's/Arby's every morning on our way to school/work. Even our kids know how irresponsible that is, not to mention unhealthy. That boy needs an allowance....boxers or burgers! Same goes for the ATM…

SerenaFisher – can, too! Munkyzilla – spring? Absolutely! SPOT ON…love that colloquialism Thx for everyone’s responses…it’s uplifting to know that so many others are aiming towards the same direction. v

sit down meals are horrid, but if you can opt to the outer ring seating you can serve yourself a plate and eat only what you allot and nobody's the wiser. also, stick to dish duty and that'll get you away from the table sooner. stay focused :tongue:
