Ditto. On lift days especially, you'll need to eat more for energy and replenishment.

After a 12 hour day all I wanted was a big glass of wine. So I poured myself some raspberry lemonade crystal light in a big wine glass and called it good!

Wow yesterday was TOUGH! Out with friends all day, skipping around from happy hour to happy hour and ending the night at a bowling ally. I'm happy to stay I stuck it out and drank NO alcohol, just ginger ale for me all night! My friends may think I'm pregnant, but I'm proud of my choices! And I saved a ridiculous amount of…

Only two more weekends to get thru. WE CAN DO THIS!

Two weekends down, two more to go! After two weeks of working my *kitten* off at the gym during the weekend and sticking to a healthy plan on weekends, I'm so happy to have lost 2.5 pounds! Usually I do great during the week and lose any and all progress on weekends because I drink then eat too much. Hope you ladies are…

Jump rope! Active rests make for a killer workout, just as long as you rest the muscle group you're working on in your sets.

It was tough but I stayed away from alcohol for the weekend! I had family in town and we spent the day wandering around Seattle, stopping at multiple bars for happy hours and I stuck to Diet Coke every time! One weekend down, three more to go!

First challenge this weekend, let's make it through strong! We can do it!

I'm so excited about this thread! I had the thought this weekend to cut out alcohol for a month to see what it could do so I'm so happy to have the support on this thread! I'm really good at sticking to a healthy eating plan Sunday-Thursday without alcohol but Friday/Saturdays are killer for me and this needs to stop, its…

More SWEAT now, less JIGGLE later Sweat like a pig Work like a horse to look like a fox you can be sore tomorrow or you can be sorry tomorrow. you choose. a one hour workout is only 4% of your day.

Hi, Lucy! In terms of protein, I suggest eating some with every meal/snack because it keeps you full longer, thus reducing cravings to snack more later! Awesome job on the running, keep it up!
-
I'm constantly having trouble with these now that it's spring and I'm running outside. I was told it was the combination of 1. bad shoes and 2. running on concrete. I switched to better shoes and I try and run on a trail when possible but it's much more convenient to run around my neighborhood on concrete. Unfortunately I…

Thanks for all the suggestions! My iPhone appreciates it :)

How accurate is the heart rate monitor in the Pro version? And how does that work exactly? Do you need the Pro version to link to MFP?

Bump!

As soon as my alarm goes off I like to turn on Pandora to my workout station to start getting me pumped up. It doesn't really help with the yawning during my workout but it gets me outta bed haha.

I just started today and would also love some feedback!

Go on a quick walk! That always wakes me up again
-
This is my exact plan but I started a few days ago! Loving Ripped In 30 so far, I like the 30 second strength intervals instead of the 45 second intervals from 30 Day Shred It and there's a greater variety of exercises! And I'm running in a 5K at the end of April so C25K is essential! Good luck to you!

What's the most effective sprint/rest ratio? I do HIIT on both the elliptical and treadmill with 1 minute sprints and 1.5 minutes rest (a slow walk).
-
I'm also trying really hard to focus on matching up a protein with a complex carb for every meal/snack. It really does help fill me up for a longer period of time than just eating a complex carb (or any carb) by itself. Overall I've reduced my carb intake but I'm still finding it difficult to stay away from those tasty…

I would love to try out a Zumba class soon. I've done it on my Wii and it's super fun and a tough workout! My current workout plan is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred It in the morning before work and then I hit up the gym after work for some cardio, I like doing intervals on the elliptical and treadmill.
-
That sounds like a great place to start! What kind of workouts do you like? I'm always trying to find something new to do, my workouts are getting to be a bit monotonous and I'm afraid I'll quite if I get bored.

44 lbs, good for you! I agree that eating lowER carb seems to help me lose weight but I have to combine it with exercise otherwise I stall. Any other Cysters out there?!
-
Thank you for starting this thread! I too have PCOS (diagnosed in 2011) and it'd be nice to chat with some fellow cysters about it. It's taken me a few years to get serious about changing my lifestyle but I started the new year with a new workout plan and I'm happy with my progress so far. I've adjusted my eating habits to…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred It is a killer workout with minimal equipment, just a pair of dumbbells. It's only like $10 at the store or you can find it on YouTube. There are 3 levels and each level takes about 20 minutes.

Whether you do it before or after exercise, make it consist. Try and weigh yourself at the same time of day every time you check in.
