10 Days later and we have completed month 2. Starting tomorrow i'm going to be adding in more cardio for better results.

It's been almost 2 weeks. I'm still here, still working through this program. I'm on a plateau with weight again and it seems to be sticking with me in a 2 or 3 pound fluctuation. 6 weeks out!

could be interesting.

When's the last time you took a few rest days?

Good point. They shouldn't have taken that away. Hope your weekend was good also. T

It's a 12 week program. The workouts are less than about 45 minutes, except Back and Bicep day where you do a 30m cardio session after.

Still here, started month 2. No gain or loss to discuss, but definitely self improvement and commitment. Hugs if you're reading this!

Still kicking it with my friend. Completed month 1!! I asked how she's enjoying the program (considering my feelings about it) and she said she likes it. She's never committed to a weight lifting program before. I can see some differences in her, but she hasn't noticed yet. On the upside, we upped the weights this last…

Still working this program. Did my workout on Sunday before our Memorial day/my belated bday party so I was feeling good. Yesterday I went Kayaking in the morning with some other ladies in the neighborhood and then did a workout later with my friend. This program is a little boring, we are doing the same exercises for each…

Some of it is machine based, but you can find alternatives for most of the items. The women in the BodySpace Jamie Eason group were very helpful with that. There are also dumbbell and barbell exercises, but very little I couldn't do in my own home. I do have a Smith Machine that was helpful.

Still moving through this program. It is definitely not as intense as the Jamie Eason Plan was. Crazy to say, but I'm almost missing the extra cardio...

Wow, if you need 1800 and you were at 1400, you were definitely under-eating! Your body will thank you for the extra fuel :)

I'm glad to hear that! Once your core is stronger, maybe you can do them on the floor again, but as you already know - don't mess with the back!

How is your nutrition? If it's around 3-5 pounds, it could be water weight, but I don't usually like to say that if it's been more than 2 days of fluctuation.

Were you able to try this?

Monday - Day 7: Chest, Shoulders, Tris. Completed. Tuesday - Had to swap day 9 and 8. Today was 9 and cardio. I have a Stella and Dot networking event tonight, so my workout buddy and I changed it up.

On Saturday my friend decided she was too sore and told me to go ahead and do the workout without her. I was going to swap the weight day for cardio, but went ahead and did weights. Yesterday, day 6 was cardio and she and I met at a nature center for a walk. Not a huge burn, but it was a nice change.

Or is it just that cardio? I'm finding sometimes it's not me, it's the program ;)

Yesterday was Chest, Shoulders and Triceps.

Once MFP put my workout in NINE times. It said I burned 18K calories that day.

Google "standing ab workout." there is a YouTube video that says it's 12 minutes long. Brazil Butt Lift has a great standing ab workout if you can get a hold of that. lauralondonfitness.com/workouts/ab-workouts/12-minute-standing-up-abs-1

Hi, all. I'm still working on my plan. Day 1 was Tuesday, Back/Biceps/Cardio. Day 2 was Wednesday - Cardio only. Today I have plans to meet with my friend for day 3.

If you have back problems, maybe you should consider doing standing abs instead?

Ha! 500K is serious business!

I'm on a different plan but this group is great!

Update 1: Yesterday my husband had a surgery that I thought would start at 12, started at 1:20, then there was some difficulty and so ... I think taking care of him is a valid reason for no workout. Today however, even though he's recovering here at home, I need to get out it. I feel like crap cancelling out on my friend…

Welcome to the group!

Lee Labrada's Lean Body Plan. My friend is supposed to do it with me. I've already discussed the schedule with her, so i'll be doing the Cardio only days on my own in the mornings and weight days in the evenings with her, plus whatever day lands on Saturday we do a nice cardio walk together.

I mentioned something similar above, and agree with you on that!

Thanks for keeping the post alive.
