High Five!

Hey friend, friend request coming your way!.

If I workout for 5 days and eat healthy, I give myself a cheat meal. for me a cheat meal would consist of maybe a burger, fries, soda and dessert at the end of my week. But when I do have the sweet cravings, I do "treat" myself to a small piece of dark chocolate or a health bar with chocolate in it and add it to my calorie…

Hiya, new friend

Coming from someone who does not know how to cook - I absolutely love my George!

Morning workouts are the best - Up at 4;30 and already on the treadmill by 5:30am. I love it as it hard for me to get to the gym after work. Just an overall Feeling Great type of day!

Try juicing and/ or smoothies as well. I'm not a big veggie either either but but making smoothies with Kale, broccoli, spinach etc and adding fruits to sweeten. Lots of recipes out there to get you started. Good luck

Im in. I too could use the support as well need to better my health Im body unfortuntely is falling apart. This is my 2nd time around so you are right NO QUITTING.

Simplyeater has got it right, Just keep saying 'screw'em' and think about the results. Before you know it, you will be walking in there with confidence and feeling & looking great!!!! "The only one who can tell you "you can't" is you. And you don't have to listen" ~ Nike

I dont' feel great at 45 but am fighting and trying to find me again. I'm running into alot of obstacles but will just look at them as challenges I need to climb over. I lost 17lbs gain back 7 and I feel lousy! But I will try to keep my spirits high and continue to work to losing the weight and keeping myself healthy!

Inspiration to movtivate me to a flatter stomach

445 am for me at least 3 days a week,. I hated at The beginning all I did was whine about how tire I was. I'm not whining now! On a good week, I get in 3 morning and 2 evening. If that's the best time for you to workout, do it. Before you no know you have your routine down packed! Good luck.

I rather splurge on shoes but I keep my cheat day to 1 meal per week.

The extra calories added is to help you build muscles. It's important to add weight training to your workouts. If you are working out say 3 days a week incoporate weights on the 1st and 3rd day. If no weight training then best to stick to your specified calorie, but keep in mind you still need to tighten muscle. Hope this…
