hi all! I am interested other with similar goals too! i am 17 weeks pregnant in my profile, i am currently 19 weeks. I am logging my food at 1800-1900 cals, logging my steps though my fitbit flex and trying to do 4-5 days a week of 30 mins of prenatal workouts.

Bump?

I Have done insanity (my fave ever!!) But full on and by end of 2 months it's exhausting but the greatest daily challenge of your life!! When you finish those workouts strong you feel powerful! I also did tapout xt but didn't do the whole programme, the moves were hard to get and I found it annoying to not be able to "get…

Doctors advice is to keep hr low and keep low intensity and no lifting, even moderate weight. . Doctor does not advise to do nothing if I feel fit and able. I'm looking for people who have gone through it and what they felt comfortable with. Yoga and walking as I have previously stated but I'm looking for other ideas.

Always a thong! Maybe a liner would help with Uti?

My only way is low carb/high protein and working out 5 days a week!! Diet is the key!! I have a sweet tooth and try to work around that.. Quest bars have been a Saviour!'

hey Girl!! Agreed that the only way to get motivated is to just get up and do it!! the hardest part is just getting up and starting.. I try to focus on how i feel after..I always feel happy, relaxed and energised!! you never regret working out!! routine is the key for me "ill workout tomorrow " gives no direction or…

absolutely healty eating and dancing will do it!! i make sure not to jsut do the moves but put extra effort in and it works!!

I have a fairly strong stomach and can take exercising after eating but alot of people cant, maybe try on an empty stomach or else leave more time before exercising after eating.. worth a try!!

Hi Avril, feel free to add me as a friend!! we can go through this together!! Laura x

thanks punk rock mama!! think low GI and low carb seem to be the best!!

Thanks for all good advice!! I'll stick with it for another couple of weeks and re-assess then. My original post maybe was confusing.. I got to goal weight but ended up gaining as I got bored with what I was doing and lost interest!!

ok thanks for advice!! i think i get it!! Im gonna keep up weight training in the long run but just wondered if i should just stick to cardio till im where i want to be, then go for the toned look through weights? im thinking a month at most to hold off?

haha!! thanks!!!

imake cottage cheese snack pots.. and mix from sweet to savoury, today its cottage cheese witha sprinkle of canderel and fresh strawberries, tomorrow ill change it to blueberries, and cherry tomato, garlic, and onion for later in week!!! I also make flax bread/muffin - look up MIM, i made one this morning in afternoon, 30g…

its comin right up to that time for me.. in next day or two.. and i can think of is chocolate.. holding off even though i cant stop thinking about it!! but anything sugary would do.. oooh and custard too... mmmmm... go you couldnt have posted this at a worse time!!!.. its making me think of it more!! LOL!! Today was hard…

thanks for all the replies.. my perception from the feedback is that perhaps wii zumba is not for me, but I have only heard good things about the DVDS!! I work evenings so all Zumba classes are on when im working so i thought the dvds would be a good option for an alternative workout!! Thanks for the feedback!!

Day 2!!!! I ma 782 cals in the green I ate 1226 cals I burned 808 cals roller blading and power walking today!!! DAY 2?!! I KILLED IT!!

I am starting at 138lbs as of weigh in last friday.. I will weigh in again this friday morning.. unless we have a set day?!! Today I am 897 in the green. I ate 1324 cals today over 6 small meals. I burned 1021 cals doing insanity max pylo, jogging lightly with my dogs and power walking at work. I want to lose 9lbs in the…

whats the challenge?

I only burn 500 max on any phase 2 workout.. that one is the 60 min max interval.. on the 48 min cardio conditioning today i only burned 350... ;-( .. my hr returns immediately to 100 once i stop, even for water.. dissadvantage of having a good resting heart rate i guess..

Ive done it in phase one.. recovery with a workout and i also did 2 full ones back to back!!! it was tough but i enjoyed it!! today I did phase 2 cardio conditioning, then insane abs right after.. then i jogged with my dogs immediately after that!!! If you have the energy GO FOR IT!!!! you'll feel great after!!.. although…

Hi!! I have consistently had my heaviest meal 2 hours before bed at 12am. It is the only time my hubby and I get to spend time together as he works weekends and nights and i work evenings, so that is "our time" and he always cooks me a meal.. and shock horror sometimes carb heavy!! I have lost succesfully every week (that…

this would be very interesting to see.. im curious.. are you going to update here?

ive 2 mad pugs called Alfie and Chuck!! they are crazy but thats what i love about them!!

I also have a polar with chest strap!! I love it!! the chest strap is actually quite comfortable..its great to see the cals melting away!!! and its great to see effort = to heart rate increase & cal burn Good luck!!

I floow the same as most people above.. I eat 30-60 mins before a workout and within 30mins after a workout. I went through a week or so when i left it later to eat after a workout but still within 3 hours of eating last.. but i was then starving for the day!!! so it doesnt pay!! Before for fuel to workout.. and after to…

I LOVE the topic!! I was at my heaviest when i first met my Hubby, my weight has fluctuated by 2 stone or so here and there over the last 9 years.. I asked him once When did I look sexiest..he replied "when I first met you you were not aware what weight you were, you were just you and that's what I fell in I've with, just…

AW thanks Army wife!!! I agree it may not work for everyone but it works for me.. I was STARVING ALL DAY!! and as I was eating I couldnt figure out why... issue resolved!!
