  • http://www.wholeliving.com/153124/how-2012-challenge-works/@center/152870/2012-whole-living-action-plan#/27582 Came across this a while ago. It's a whole foods type of cleanse. I think it's helpful as a guideline, I've never actually followed this plan.

  • I used to have to keep PB out of the house because I would inevitably end up with a spoon in the jar until it was empty. It was my favorite binge food. I believe what was lacking from my diet was fat....I was eating low fat garbage at the time. You seem to eat a very healthy diet made up of fruits and veggies, so it…

  • You look great!! I'm considering doing this program but was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions. The first is, I'm always hesitant with DVDs because I live in an NYC apartment building and can't really jump around because of neighbors, is there a lot of cardio interspersed in this work out? I'm happy to…

    in Stage 2 Comment by nic2561 April 2012
  • Just finished my first Stage 2 work out. I'm a bit confused about switching legs/reps. I don't have my book with me so bear with me. During Stage 1, I would complete one set of step ups with 1 leg and then do the other leg for the next rep. When I re-read the step up instructions for stage 2 it seems like maybe I was…
    in Stage 2 Comment by nic2561 April 2012
  • Yes, this is pretty much new territory for me. The only weights I did in the past were a few machines and then some total body conditioning classes here and there. I'm starting Stage 2 next week so I'm giving myself the week off from weights. I did run a few miles on Monday after not running for months so now I'm sore from…
    in Still sore after every work out Comment by nic2561 April 2012
  • OK I have the sheet she gave me now- my RMR is 1426 and she said that in order to lose weight I need to consume less calories than my body needs...so she has my maintenance at 1426-1852. I'm thinking that was a big ol' waste of money. Last week I felt so tired. I'm just so scared of gaining even more weight but I don't…
    in Should I increase even though I'm lightly active? Comment by nic2561 March 2012
  • I found my way to the foam roller today and it was AMAZING. I have learned so much just in week 1 alone :) I really needed a program like this- I was in such a gym rut and just couldn't get myself to the elliptical/treadmill and when I did, I was just a zombie trying to stay on for 60 minutes but usually giving up after…
    in Brand new- scared of deadlifts Comment by nic2561 March 2012
  • I was definitely over thinking it! They were totally fine. I did them with the bar and no added weight and I felt no low back pain. Pain in the rest of my body from extreme soreness is another issue :) Day 3 (2A) tomorrow!!! That is, if I can hobble out of bed...

    in Brand new- scared of deadlifts Comment by nic2561 March 2012
  • I am also 5'4" and I weigh 140 which is the highest I've been in a couple of years. I was 122 for about a week but I am most comfortable being around 128. I put on about 12 stress pounds in the past year and I'm desperately trying to lose them. I am also wondering about how many cals everyone is consuming? I have been…
