Yay! Count me in! Somehow I always miss the entrance to these groups/challenges. I want to lose 10 pounds.

Thank you for the advice. I usually get migraines right before TOM, and yep, this morning woke up with it visiting. I think the throwing up was b/c I was out at someone's house and trying to compose my migraine for 2 hours, holding it back, stressing out over it, etc. It's the first time a migraine has made me throw up. If…

Hi everyone, I've been reading about Primal for some time now, but have always thought I could NEVER give up my breads, muffins, rice and potatoes OR sugar, for sure. Something has happened in the past few weeks where my tastes are changing and that stuff almost repulses me now. I've had some crazy stomach issues as well…

My dad passed away last week also. It is definitely hard to control the eating. Right now it's just hard to not eat the bad stuff.

I'm a Civil Engineer for a solid waste consulting company - we design and maintain landfills. Never thought of that job, didja? :) I also do marketing/HR/IT/accounting/whatever is needed.

Thanks, yeah, I'm wondering too if it's because I do my workouts at night (8:30 or so, then shake at 9:30 and in bed by 10:30) so I'm drinking them kind of late? But I've noticed that if I don't drink them, I wake up raging starving the next day and I eat wayyyyy to much food. It could be any of that, that you mentioned.…

Hi ladies!! I'm going at this a bit slower than I would have liked, but I'm still enjoying it. :) A question though. Do you drink protein drinks after your workouts? I have noticed that the nights I drink a protein shake (skim milk and whey protein powder) I weigh 1.5-2 pounds more in the morning than the nights I don't. I…

Okay I did some research and answered my own question. I will do Yoga X. Even though I hate it. I'll do it each week. This video made a lot of sense. http://www.amandakjones.com/p90x-yoga-stop-whining-and-just-do-it.php

I really, REALLY hate Yoga. Ugh. I only did half of it just b/c mentally I didn't wan to do it. It's tough, and I just find it so boring. I hope I can move past this! How bad do you think it would be if I switched the Yogo out for the XStretch each week?

bump!

I just started on Sunday, the 31st! I'm super excited. :) I am only doing it 5 days a week though, rather than 6. I'm taking Tuesdays and Fridays off. i'm the type to jump full boar into something and then burn out after a month or so, so I hoping this helps keep me on track. Please add me so we can support each other! :)…

I drive my husband nuts because I pick all the toppings off my pizza and eat them individually, before I even eat the pizza. That way, it takes longer, I get "more bites" of it in my mouth. Usually when I am finishing my piece, my husband is starting on piece #3 already. Making things last in your mouth is what the…

Good luck with it! I have wanted a juicer for a long time now. And now I'm going to have to convince my husband to watch the documentary!! Only, he doesn't need to lose weight, he needs to gain it, but he definitely needs to eat more fruits and veggies. :) I have done a 5 day juice fast before. I didn't go past that, but I…

Definitely Mizunos here! Love them!

Thanks! :) Good idea about changing the time. Never thought about that. I've been doing mornings, but a couple evening runs might be good. I really wish I could do some classes, but I work 8-5 and then have to pick up the kids and go home to cook dinner. By the time they are in bed it's 8:30 and no classes are being…

To be truthful, the mind is a very powerful thing. Except for things like allergies and intolerances and stuff, I think you can convince yourself to feel gross and bloated and yucky after eating certain foods, as a reminder to not eat it. If you WANT to feel guilty about eating something, then you do. If you DON'T, then…

Thanks everyone. I have not used protein powders before, I feel like they are added calories and extra money when I could just use the food I already have....if that makes any sense. I guess I just see them as "unnecessary". lol. I don't have much against them.

WOW. Way to go. Way. to. go. :)

YUM!!!

That is an awesome site!!! Sadly, I have 24% body fat and look just like the girl with 25%. :( Want to get down to the 18%!! Great way to visualize it. Thanks!

Saving for later!

You can put it in there raw. I do this with whole chickens all the time.

Ugh ugh ugh ugh UGH! "They" say it is supposed to get "easier" to keep up at this. Blah. I went, but I could barely run 2 miles when I just ran 6 a week and a half ago. Something's off. It's getting harder to get up each morning. I need some new motivation!

Thanks Amy. I hope that is the deal!

Thanks Amy. I hope that is the deal!

Good job Doo!! I lifted weights and did a short interval on the treadmill this morning. I have been doing mostly cardio with a little strength mixed in for a long time. Finally switched it up this week and doing mostly strength with a little cardio. OMG can you say STARVING?????????????? Yikes!! And I'm not burning as many…

Eh, I'm back. :ohwell: Took a break after my race, and was sick (AGAIN! toddlers at school do that to you. Ugh). Anyways, got back at it this morning. Circuit training and elliptical.

Great job! I went this morning too......UGH. Got it in, but I stayed up too late last night so it hurt! Did some weight lifting and a short interval burst on the treadmill.

THIS is awesome. Thanks I have bookmarked the site. You answered my question too, I was just doing 'intervals' not HIIT. Thanks a bunch! :)

Thanks, that's kind of what I was wondering..... It is so "backwards" in my mind (haha!!) to run for such short periods of time, lol. I'm used to doing 4-5 miles, not 20 seconds, ha!
