Round 2 Day 15 Terrible weigh in today :( I have been struggling with my weight since the beginning of this round. Today I am down .2 for the week. That is a total of .6 for the round :( Really bummed because I lost 6.8 the first round. BUT I am sticking with it and pushing through. I need to lose about 19 more pounds. I…

I've completed insanity - no nutrition plan though and I skipped the recovery workouts for running. I've done parts of p90x I've tried t25, it was ok just wasn't my style. I much prefer Shaun t in insanity.

Looking forward to cardio fix and hoping I can get a 3 mile run in afterwards!

my scale shows a gain right now too :( Very depressing, but I push on. I have to believe it will come and when it does, I pray for a big one!

I have the same struggle - and especially knowing that to put on muscle you really need to be eating calories, so how can I not lose weight - lose inches and be eating at a deficit? Impossible! But trying not to get down myself, I just try to focus on other things, how I feel, how I look, the compliments from others....

Great job!

Round 2 Day 11 The scale finally moved - only .2 but hey, I will take it. My back is feeling better - I wonder if maybe the back injury has caused me to retain some fluid? Who knows, but I am pushing through! Looking forward to Pilates after work - I think I will go for a three mile run too! I need some extra burn.

Lower Fix and abs done! I threw my lower back out on Monday so it's been a struggle. Yesterday it felt better. Today not so much. I hope it gets better fast! Been using heat and Advil but I'm switching to ice to see if it helps. If I feel better later I want to get some cardio in - maybe the elliptical. The scale is the…

I agree. Eat back done calories. Being dizzy is not good!

My main goal is fat loss - I have about 19 pounds to go - that is the what I NEED the scale to say! Could I go beyond that? Sure, but I won't worry about it if I don't My next goal - is two part - to get fit and STAY fit - and to try to keep this clean eating a lifestyle. Sure, I would like to indulge and have some things…

Round 2 Day #8 A bit depressed with week one results, but I am going to get over that today and push harder this week. I lost .4 pounds - I didn't really take measurements, but there wasn't a huge loss there either :( But I feel good and I am looking much better. I ran a couple time this weekend (2 miles Saturday - 3 miles…

9.6 pounds is great!

I'll look you up on Instagram too! I'm on round two day 7. Crappy first week. I followed the program to a T and have zero results. Granted it's that time of the month, I'm still really disappointed :-(. But at least I'm not up for the whole week right? I hope week two shows me something. I need someone to drive more…

Awesome job

Sounds great!

Can you explain what piyo is? You talk scout it frequently and now I'm intrigued.

I'd love this!

I agree - So maybe I need to get a new coach. This girl promised me part of a FB group for motivation but never added me - I guess I had to buy from her to be part of the support. I would love someone to help with the motivation and everything else.

I have to say - I haven't made any super recipes lately. But last night I really enjoyed my dinner - my husband was eh about it, but I loved it so I will type it up here. Butternut and Turkey squash bake Ingredients; 1 small butternut squash 1 pound lean ground turkey breast 2 small apples 1 small onion 4 cloves of garlic…

I put together a list of make at home spice mixtures. Thought I would share here Taco Seasoning Recipe • 1/4 cup Chili Powder • 1/4 cup Cumin Powder • 1 Tablespoon Garlic powder • 1 Tablespoon Onion powder • 1 teaspoon Oregano leaf (or oregano leaf powder) • Paprika • 1/4 cup Himalayan salt or Sea salt (optional) • 1…

I don't really have a coach. Well - I know a girl from my childhood that is a coach so she is listed as my coach, but she doesn't do anything for me. I think because I didn't buy my program directly from BB.com? And because I don't like shakeology? Who knows why.

I realized this last week, I didn't know there were more threads then I could see! oops!

Good luck! I really wish we could just cook with the coconut oil. But I did get use to it by the last time I had to take it LOL

Round two day 5 - the scale went back down today, but I am still up .2 for this round. Damn monthly! Be gone bloating!! I skipped Pilates last night, my first time skipping a workout. But I did the hour and a half yoga workout from P90X with my husband, what a great workout! I will probably double up today and do cardio…

Day 4 for me. And ugh, being a woman sucks at times. I'm up a whole pound today

Amber, I found that if you just push play and go you warm up and it's not so bad.

I must be odd, I'm fairly certain lower fix is my favorite :-).

Really struggling tonight. It was so hard to push play. Good thing for my husband. But now I'm hungry and I don't really have any containers left. Probably green - as my dinner recipe was messed up and I don't think I used enough veggies. But I don't have a lot of appitizing veggies laying around. Ugh!

@wrightchoices - I don't eat much pasta - its a trigger food for me. So I get whatever is on sale. But I have been using zucchini noodles and its been great! @cupcake570 - that sounds great! I am going to have to try it. I was concerned about the sodium in soy sauce though. I was just telling my husband yesterday - I think…

The scale dropped a smidge for me today - I think it was a true weight loss. SatiaRenee is right, its sort of like a refresh. But do a search on Carb Depleting, you will see. Your body uses the carbs/sugar first - so when you deplete yourself of carbs then your body will turn to the right stored fat to burn. Some people…
