my husband and I started BJJ towards the end of last year. My 6 year old has been doing it for a year now.

I'm also doing low-carb. Not quite Keto, but low carb non the less. Been on MFP for a long time, but finally focused and determined. I'm also a busy Mom who works full time. I'm down 17 lbs in 7 weeks! Feel free to add me!

Can I add you all as well?! I am a 38 year old Mom to an amazing little man who just turned 6. I am 8 weeks into my weighloss journey although I've been yo-yoing for YEARS. This time, however, I am having success and am down 17lbs in 7 weeks. :) Also on IG @sbfitlifestyle

YES!! I have been looking for women lifters for the last two weeks! Thank you for posting this! I am friend requesting many of you NOW!!! I just finished my 2nd week of a 12 week program. 4 days of lifting (body splits), two active rest days and one complete rest day. I'm using an app called Body Transformation. Loving…

Hi all! I started on a Keto diet last Monday, 8.31 and have lost 4.5 lbs. I have a TON of energy and am feeling great! I spent the majority of this weekend cooking and finding foods to help me succeed. I am also looking for KETO friends to hold me accountable and motivate me!

I have recently used the erythritol and have found that it doesn't cook as well as other sugar substitutes. I like Stevia though. Also, I have found that the no sugar syrup (used to flavor coffees) helps A LOT.

Got about halfway through it and dislocated my ankle and broke it two places. I now have a bionic ankle with new hardware! Not my best race. :)

I am 5'9" and I keep thinking I want to get down to 132 like I was in High School, but the truth is, I don't really want to look like I did in High School. I want to look good naked. If I weigh 200 lbs but have a rocking body, then 200 is my goal weight!

NO WAY??! I LOVE Jon Jones!! I really don't think he's very douchey at all!

Most people also say that beer is an acquired taste. Why isn't that included in this discussion? I acquired my taste to both beer and wine. Neither due to the "in" crowds persuasion: Beer-acquired a taste for it in college when the guys buying beer (yes, I was underage) wouldn't by me wine coolers or Zima. Wine- acquired a…

I have only used them for "baby" tacos, but I am super excited to try out some of these other recipes!! Thanks for posting!!!

A great YUMMY, low carb, low calorie dish I prepared recently is a cabbage salad. I am not a huge lover of cabbage-BUT I AM NOW!!! Plus, you can pretty much make it twice if you buy whole cabbages! Super easy and cheap: 1/2 red cabbage 1/2 green cabbage 1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce 1 onion 8 strips of bacon (we used…

Are you doing the one in Seattle? If so--ME TOO!! Oct 6th!!! My first Mudder! I have been doing Crossfit since January and participated in a a Survivor Mud run and LOVED every minute of it. I have since then started running 3 miles once a week, biking once a week and continuing to Crossfit 3-4xs a week. I am going to…

1) YES. I was tracking my macros when I was logging and I was running around a 40/30/30 (protein/carb/fat) ratio. 2)Both. Extremely varied. My coach is a Crossfit trainer. 3)Had this issue since I was 17. I am now 34. 4)Getting stronger for sure! 5)I did. Not a lot of movement in the last three months.

Great job Beeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If you want to look like a God, lift like a man". Get the book, New Rules of Lifting for Women". It will help you and give you routine to follow for a good six months. If you can't get the book, put down the barbie weights and lift heavy.

To look good naked. :smile: I know that I would like to be close to my high school weight of 130, but I also think that is unrealistic as I am gaining so much more muscle. With that in mind-I think anywhere from 150-170 would be great. However, if I look good naked at 180, then I'll be happy!!

"Bueller??"

6 am Crossfit class and I am on Day 9 of my whole30 paleo challenge. Life is good.

6 am Crossfit class.

ME! Except I started today!! Can I still play? :wink:

^^^ This was also my response to her the SECOND time she emailed me.^^^^ Although I think I told her to F herself. :laugh: I was nice the first time! I promise! :blushing:

Two suggestions: 1) Mio. Makes water taste amazing. 2) Drink 8 oz every hour on the hour. Makes it that much easier.

Pure awesomeness. You are a fabulous writer!

^^This--but use Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream for an even healthier and more protein version!

^^^ this-- you can also try MIO. I use that for my Vodka waters.

The good news here, is that you are going to have some killer arms/shoulders by the time your knee is totally healed! Here's to a speedy recovery!!! :drinker:

Thanks to you all...I hope you get to feeling better too! ZILLA--thanks for that...I was expecting about 6 weeks. Hoping for less, but trying to be real.

I am a huge Jimmy Buffett Fan. Also known as Parrotheads. :wink:

Thanks all. Week one is over and I think I am too. I am going back to just eating paleo while incorporating a few things I learned with the Zone.
