I was wondering about hormones too. I am drinking tons of water yet I still feel bloated and my rings feel tight, especially in the morning, I have yet to start my period. I bet between my age (43) and hormones, it will be a battle.

I am right there with you. I am almost 4 month PP and have not lost an ounce, in fact, I've gained weight!! Arrgh. I just got back to working out and watching my diet a few weeks ago, but so far nothing, zip, zilch. I really thought the weight would 'melt off' with breastfeeding. I am playing with my calories to see what…

Would it be possible to get the excel sheets from you too?? I would really appreciate it! :)

This is great information, thank you so much. I am going to figure out my numbers and only do cardio on my non-lifting days.

Right now I have been doing Pump along with 30 min of cardio, 3 days a week, then about 60 minutes of cardio the other three days, with one rest day a week. Should I concentrate more on the strength training?

Awesome!! Thank you so much!! I didn't want to make i all up on my own. :)

You are amazing! And I am so proud to call you my friend! :)

Thanks! I am telling myself not to panic, and that it is water weight and my body adjusting. *sigh* I will defeat this and I will be healthy! :)

I am new to this too, so everyone please feel free to add me!

AMAZING!!

Just off the top of my head: Protein powder for sure, eggwhites, swap out lentils for some of your carbs, since they are packed with protein as well/ :)

Thank you for this! I have been stuck at the same weight +/- 2 lbs for MONTHS and I am so frustrated! I am going to give this a shot and up my calories, and then when I am done with my current program, I am going to focus more on weight training. I am going to spend some time this weekend reading through these threads.

Sent you a request. I love to give and get extra support and motivation! I want to be lean and mean!

Hello!! I am and Insanity and Asylum grad and I LOVED both programs!! It is one of the hardest workouts you will ever do, but SO worth it when you are done!! Feel free to ask me any questions, I would love to see how you progress with it! :)

Hello Josh! Welcome to the boards!

Hello!!! I've sent you a request! I know that for me, having friends online has been KEY in keeping me going, even when times get tough. :)

Hey there! Feel free to add me! I can totally help you to stay motivated, and feel free to kick me in the butt as well! :)

Hey there!! Feel free to add me! I am all about giving and getting support!

Funny. I don't see anything mentioned about BB products here. Hrm.

Thank you so much everyone! Traceepics: The highest I lifted was in the 2nd month/Push Phase, and that was 15 lbs. You will be doing lower reps at higher weights, failing between 6-8 reps. I tried to increase my weights each week to max out by the end of the phase. The Lean phase will have you back at higher reps, 10-12 so…

Fantastic Job!!! I cannot wait to see your 90 day pics!

Feel free to add me too! :)

The more help the better! :)

Ditto! The more support the better! Feel free to add me!

Welcome!

Thats what we are all here for, encouragement and support! If you are interested I am in a FaceBook Group too and we all post daily with advice and check ins. Let me know if you are interested.

My HRM had me set up and take a base resting read as well as enter in my weight. age and height. I think if you have the same type of HRM, then you know it will be fairly accurate and you should go with that number.

BUMP

Thanks everyone. I went today and got checked and a new pair of Brooks shoes. I can tell the difference in the support already. And yes you were all right, I am over pronating! :)

Have you added beans and peanut butter to your diet )not necessarily together lol :tongue: )? How about a good whey protein shake or oatmeal? You and I are on about the same calorie goals. If you want to look at my food log the code is 1231. With what I am eating I am also staying in a good ratio for my Carbs, Protein and…
