I've stayed at BW River North before I moved to Chicago and it's good! Nothing fancy but nice, clean and convenient. Best pizza in my opinion is Lou Malnati's!!! But really, can't go wrong with Chicago pizza!! I wrote back to your message, too!

This is week 4 of SL..... I do HIIT (high intensity interval training) 10-20min sessions 3x a week. I like the "therapy" of the cardio as well. I find that I burn more and get better results with the HIIT, and it's shorter periods of time so it's nice! I don't feel like it's effected my SL

Someone had mentioned the core and like Vegas said, it just made me more aware of it. I think the more I worked/improved my form, the more muscles I started engaging. At first I thought WTF, too, but I just ended week 4 last night and just now am starting to feel changes and it's getting harder! (but I'm getting…

The first week of SL I wasn't using my core as I should have either. The last couple weeks I have felt a HUGE difference!! And this morning I woke up and my abs hurt from workout B last night, and I think that's a great feeling :)

I had an amazing workout last night, increased all my weights and had an awesome DL.... but my neck has been KILLING me all day today... constant throbbing, headache, muscle spasms, blah. It seems to be this way only after I have done the OHP. I took the advice of you ladies and had a wider stance and tried to relax my…

Thanks for the welcome, sarah! Have most of you ladies been doing the program for awhile?? I have some friends on MFP that have done it, and their success is amazing! I have muscles that are sore I didn't know I had, and didn't even realize I was using during the lifts! It feels amazing! Today is rest day for me, last day…

Hi all!!! I am on my second week of SL 5x5 (yesterday was my 5th workout) and just joined this group a few days ago. I was nervous at first, but so far I am loving this program! I haven't increased my weights too much because I want to make sure I have my form down before I increase every workout. So far, so good!! Here…

With the traveling over the holidays I have been a little absent, but I weighed in yesterday. I am up 2.2lbs but I am not surprised with all the overindulging I have done! Not going to dwell on it though and just going to get right back to my usual routine!

My weight yesterday was 189.4. Up a bit from last time I weighed, but I'm always fluctuating! Here's to a good week!

I'm 5'5", 187lbs and hope to be down to around 140 by June next year. Been on MFP just over 2 months, and although not much has moved on the scale, I have lost some inches. Most of the time has been spent trying to figure out what calories and macros work best for me! I have also been strength training so gaining some…

Siracha on everything And I find a way to incorporate cheese into just about every meal.

I think to find out what you are intolerant to, you would have to cut things out individually, one at a time? Otherwise you won't know how each one effects your body. Agree with the poster above in that cutting out ALL those things just seems extreme and I would personally be miserable. Everything in moderation is OK, IF…

I have 2 more days of level 2. I haven't done it 30 days straight, I ran 2 5K races in the past month so I had training for that as well. Level 2 and the planks are killer, but my body is thanking me!! Can't wait for Level 3! Keep it up ladies!!!
