I would join the plethora of low carb groups on here to get tons of ideas. Also, it's going to be stressful, going from 200g to 50g is tough, but you're tougher. Be prepared for the "carb flu", where you feel really gross for about a week, but then you're fine. Read lots, prep lots, and I agree with the trial and error.

mine is from david's bridal...actually I bought 2 :blushing: One to trash in Mexico, and one to wear to our reception here :) and still came under $800

I went, and I'm not even close to my goal. Honestly, you're going to realize that you're stunning, and you might even cry when you find "the one"...you're going to realize that this will be the happiest day of your life, and as long as you pick appropriate dresses, you're going to have a hard time choosing which one you…

bump!!!

I am deadlifting a Komodo Dragon, Keep it up and soon you'll be picking up a Medium-Sized Deer and putting it down with authority

I'm the queen of DOMS ;) make sure you're getting enough protein, hot epsome salt baths, advil, foam rolling (or a tennis ball works too), go for a walk around the neighbourhood to warm up your muscles, lay on your bed withering in pain and complain to your fiance that you're dying lol don't forget to moan every time you…

I really like the sports bras at Old Navy, I'm big chested, and I don't move in those.

My body has certainly adjusted if I constantly drink 8+ glasses a day. But if I don't drink that much for a few days, I'm back to square 1.

could be the same reason why I can't handle it...I'm allergic to all forms of dairy. I thought it was lactose, than I thought it was casein. I tried the whey protein powder and still felt like I was going to explode. I now just use almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter and hemp hearts. If you google dairy free protein…

I really like to hike through the trees and trust me when I say sometimes it's hard to find a good hiding spot :blushing:

I couldn't either

The link doesn't work, do you have a webpage?

get some bike shorts to wear under your cute skirts, and rock those super awesome "THICK" legs honey. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a power house! I know this ad is talking about her butt...but check out those sexy legs!

Price Location Amount of equipment (although I have a gym right down the street, it only has 1 piece of cardio equipment and 1 set of free weights) No stupid rules (lunk alarm!) lots of fitness classes offered (I go to drop in yoga most often) a pool, sauna, hot tub basically I go to a leisure center, I've tried private…

I started body building, and honestly started yoga because i was so freakin' sore after lifting weights. Now I lift every other day, and yoga every other day, and my DOMS seemed to have calmed down. Some of the stretches feel so good lol It doesn't matter what you start with, they're both beneficial in their own respect.

dj, I thought he was talking to me because I do IIFYM

exactly! I'm having a great discussion on my facebook page about this too...if you do what you did before, you're going to gain weight...if you truly change your lifestyle, than you're not going to gain it back. Seems pretty simple to me, but then again, I've never reached goal weight lol

Good plan, you'll notice a different kind of sore when you start weight training, but it's very motivational. Keep up the yoga no matter what though, it's not only good for your body but mind/spirit too :) Namaste

I fully admit I pack my fiance's lunch, or else he just won't eat. I pre-make a ton of wraps and freeze them so he just has to grab 2 on his way out the door, nuts, fruit, granola bars, green iced tea, dehydrated fruit, flax chips, costco has these dried snap peas that actually taste pretty good, trail mix, leftovers.

I swear....a lot :ohwell: but feel free to add me if you'd like lol

I do yoga, and I lift heavy...I like them both. But no, yoga isn't strength training. It definitely helps, I love the core movements and being stronger in yoga has helped me be stronger in the weight room, but you still need to deadlift and squat ;) yoga is perfect for the "in between" days, and to just let your stress go.…

Or when people have kids, and realize what I've been going through for the last 7 years. I got my first "happy mother's day" from my best friend this year, only because she just had babies and realized "hey, Jill's a mom too". I also got a speech about how distant I've been, and how I don't have time for random hanging…

GO SAINTS!!! This is my prediction as well :)

soak your feet in epsome salt and super hot water, and then put second skin or mole skin on them before you go walking again. I also like to wear 2 pairs of white socks to get extra cushion. Your feet will eventually callus, but until then you need to take care of them. DON'T POP THE BLISTERS!

Is there something wrong with me? I don't have any creepers/staring/talkers at my gym, and it's HUGE! I had one personal trainer comment on my t-shirt because it gave him the giggles, but other than that no one talks to me! I've seen 1 guy for the past 5 years, and we do the nod, but other than that I'm the creepy one on…

I've been at this for 4 years, and I've only lost 20 lbs...trust me when I tell you I know what you're going through. It's tough, I had to change my mentality though. Instead of focusing on the scale, I've had to realize how great I feel after a good sweat. Instead of wishing I could fit in a size 10, I hope my size 14…

lmao off, I "cut muffins" during yoga and pray that no one knows it's me Also, I watch tv when I'm on the elliptical. Either Jeopardy or the Blue Jays game. I will be found cheering loudly or answering the "questions" out loud and not realizing that everyone can hear me.

Thank you, I WAS having a skinny day until this told me I was Your numbers Obesity Index Above average You have a higher BMI than 88% of females aged 30-44 in your country Global Above average You have a higher BMI than 94% of females aged 30-44 in the world
