  • Hello all! I am Jessica I am 5'6" and currently 194lbs. I started following OMAD this time around on 7/16/2020 with a starting weight of 196. My goal is to get down to 135. A couple years ago, I did OMAD with great success only to be derailed by typical life events. I found it works for me as I enjoy eating large meals…

  • You might look into options for a running group in your area. I know the local running club in my county has a Beginning Women Runners program that builds up to a 5k race at an easy pace. They break everybody into different pace groups, so you don't have to push more than you're able. It was also great for receiving a bit…

  • Right now I am taking kickboxing (not cardio kickboxing) twice a week. I find it to be a rather fun, as well as a fulfilling, exercise. Plus, I get the bonus of learning how to fight. In the past I have also done pole-dancing (had a blast), Zumba (not my thing- I'm too uncoordinated), and yoga (depends on the type of yoga).

  • I'm 25- currently 155lbs (or I was before the holidays. I haven't weighed myself in a while. scared to look lol) and also working towards 135. My calorie limit is set to 1650, which is a 20% deficit from my TDEE. I usually don't eat even eat that much, as I am satisfied before then (at least 200-300 calories from my limit…

  • It looks like you've received a lot of great advice already, but I just wanted to add that www.budgetbytes.com is a great site for recipes and tips for eating on a limited budget.

  • I recently started weighing everything I make at home, which is where most of my food intake comes from. Found out I could've been eating more cheese this entire time!

  • the whole 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day' thing, is not true. It was based on a not so solid study, and was spread around like wildfire. It's really whatever works for you. If your body hates eating first thing in the morning, don't eat- save your calories for later. I also have a hard time eating in the…

  • Gimme full fat EVERYTHING. I don't find it that hard to stay within my calorie goal- I just have to plan everything out more carefully. I am okay with eating less of a given item, if it means it tastes that much better. It just feels so empty otherwise, and the aftertaste of aspartame is just awful. I think moderation is…

  • They're okay... I don't think they're very filling, and they definitely did not mix so well with my morning appetite (which is nearly nonexistent and easily upset). The chocolate is way better than the vanilla, that's for sure. If you feel that you need to eat something in the mornings to get you going, why not try some…

  • Personally, I found that it was the carbonation that I loved the most, so I am happy drinking plain carbonated water. There are quite a few restaurants that will allow you to get it from their tap/fountain, with wedges of lemons/limes/oranges to lightly flavor it. You can purchase seltzer water for low prices at the…

  • I'm loving Brazil Butt Lift. I definitely feel the burn with most of the workouts, especially Bum Bum. However, I usually replace Cardio Axe with some other form of cardio.... it's just confusing and makes me feel like I'm not getting a whole lot out of it.
    in Brazil Butt Lift (Beachbody version) Comment by bebdinosaur January 2012
  • Brazil Butt Lift is pretty awesome. It sounds silly but it's pretty intense. I haven't completed it yet, but I'm definitely satisfied so far. And even though its main goal is to target your booty/thigh area, it also makes sure to cover your full body.

  • Excellent choice! I definitely don't regret joining As for meeting the Navy's demands... The Navy PRT consists of a 1.5mi run OR 500yd/450m swim with 2min each of push ups and situps. For females 20-24 years at the minimum standards for passing, is 50 situps, 17 pushups, and a 15:15min run time or 14:00min(yd)/13:15min(m)…

  • Yes! I've done some of it before. My usual habit of starting an exercise program and quitting about half way through kicked in of course.....definitely striving towards actually following through this time! I started Tuesday and my booty buuuuurns. Bum Bum seems like quite a daunting task today
