WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!

The IDEA of what my body will look like in the future! Every time I lift a weight I think...sculpted, lean, defined, and sexy!!!!! Plus, I LOVE the fact that my stomach started to growl more after I started weight lifting so I know that my metabolism is going crazy!!! It's like a weight lifting party in my body!!

Hello everyone! So, I am just updating those that have posted to this forum and really anyone interested....well, back in February when I wrote this, I was a different person. I feel that I was looking at 500 calories and thinking HELL NO!! I CAN'T DO THAT!!!! But, just last night, I went to the gym and did 77 minutes of…

There are so many days where I feel down and these inspirational stories are what bring me back to life! When I want to overeat, I come here and realize WHAT my goals are and HOW I am going to get there!!!!

This is an amazing story!!!!! I am 5'2" and started at 215 pounds and am now at 171. I have started a weight training program along with running. I lift arms on Monday and Thursday and legs Tuesday and Friday with a bit of cardio each and every day. It really makes a difference and boy do I feel hungry every day which…

I'm sorry that I can't answer this but I am bumping it for some feedback as well! Good luck!

How awesome!! I have never seen this!

Agree!! I gained 2 pounds as well from insanity and I have about 25 to lose!!! You need to do measurements and not only focus on weight! Also, make sure you are eating enough calories! I found myself feeling tired because I wasn't eating enough!

SHRIMP FAJITAS!!!

I am feeing SO empowered from your answers and realize that there is SO much more I can be doing!!!! I have lost 50 pounds prior to MFP but, it was just because I changed my diet and didn't drink pop. I was burnt out from Insanity and burning 500+ calories because I was so hungry all the time and felt like I couldn't go…

Right now I am doing step class on Mondays which I can easily burn 550 calories....other days I am mostly doing DVDs like CHAlean and TaeBo...most of these I am burning 350 calories at the most. But, Chalean is mostly weight training and trying to tone the body. I have done Insanity before but did it the entire WRONG…

WOW!!! Thank you so much for the information everyone! I guess I thought that 500 calories just seemed like alot for me to burn in a workout but, I guess I'm not pushing myself enough....I do have a HR monitor so it is easy for me to keep track of the actual calories that I have burned. I eat 1400 calories a day and have…

I worked 13 hours yesterday (teaching children and then a work meeting til late into the night) and I STILL came home and worked out.....part of me wanted to and part of me didn't BUT....the old me would NEVER EVER EVER EVER would have worked out after such a long day. It was great! I am still happy about it today :)

I love to slice up a cucumber and eat the whole thing...it is about 45 calories and the crunch is what I am looking for. Take the cheese wedges (like laughing cow or crystal farms) that have 35 calories to them and some crackers. You are looking at about 175 calorie snack YUMMY!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! That is awesome!!!!! I am so proud of you!! :0)

Things like this make me laugh! Some person just wants to try something new and a majority of people are wasting his/her time by writing stupid comments about how much they hate Dr. Oz and blah blah blah.....what the person asked was "hey, I am doing a 3 day cleanse, want to join?"........what they DIDN'T ask was "Hey, how…

This honestly brings tears to my eyes because I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!! You look so amazingly fantastic!!!! Excess skin or not, you are an inspiration to ANY one on here!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!!

If you do not believe in shoe stores and their opinion....then you haven't been in a good one.
-
The first thing that I thought it could be would be the shoes that you are using. I sell shoes and we see that quite often when people are using a shoe that possibly has TOO much arch support for you and is actually over correcting you and pushing you to the outside. And if you don't have a shoe with arch support then I…

just reading this makes me wanna cry for you!!!!!! DO NOT RUN IN TONING SHOES!!!!!!!! I have been working in shoes for the past 2 years and NOTHING good comes from running in toning shoes....your hips are hurting because of the incorrect impact that is happening when you run in the toning shoes.....another thing....running…
-
goodness there are SOO many good exercises!! Its hard for me to describe them to you without showing so, the best would be to google toning exercises. The key for women especially is to do toning with weights at LEAST 2-3 times a week. The key to getting rid of those stubborn areas is to keep up with the exercising. It…
-
I am assuming you are talking about a man versus a woman in this challenge?!?! Right? In that case, you can't do pounds lost because men and women are SOO different...you must do percentage weight loss. In the end you would divide the number of pounds lost by the starting weight X 100. It is the fair way to figure out a…

Hello my fellow members!! So, I had my first gain this week...a pound...I know, I know, its only a pound but, it is just a SIGN that I could have done better than I did!!!!!!!! :embarassed: It really isn't about the number but just the fact that I got lucky I didn't gain more! I need some motivation and the NO SWEETS is a…

GREAT IDEA!!! No sweets!!!!!!!!! Another idea that you can use Andrew is NO takeout!!!! Or food court!! Or delivery!!!! I have given up the food court at work for lent and it has been hard.....REALLY hard.....but, WORTH IT!!! There were days were I would go and think to get subway but, end up with an 800 calorie Taco…
