My daughter is now 2, so it has been a minute since I've had her, but I had lost all my prego weight fairly quickly. The biggest thing that helped me was breast feeding. I also did the elliptical almost daily and every other day i did low key weights (the crunch workout on netflix).

I would definitely post a picture! You have worked so hard to lose that weight, be proud of yourself! I think it's perfectly acceptable to post a progress picture every once in a while. Now the ones that post a picture of themelves in bathroom mirrors every 5 seconds... that is a little excessive and annoying. I think your…

Try not to stress too much about it. Make healthy food choices. When I got pregnant with my daughter I was worried about the weight gain. I continued to exercise (lots of walks) and did my best to make healthy choices. I didn't gain much weight at first, it mostly starts coming on around month 7. Usually when you crave…

buffet food also typically contains large amounts of sodium and msg. This will make your body retain water, so make sure you drink a lot of water the next few days!

resistance bands are also inexpensive. I found mine for like $9 at tjmaxx. I use that in my turbofire strength training workouts and its really helping me get more defined.

There are a couple mud runs coming to my area and I really want to do it! i love challenging my fitness level

I'm 5'1" and always have been athletic. First year of college I got up to 135 and lost it over time. That is the most i have weighed, apart from pregnancy weight, where I hit 150. Nursing my daughter brought me down to 105! I never thought I would reach that number with my build. I have put on some weight now and range…

Im a big fan of the pb2! Especilly the chocolate. My toddler also loves it and will eat it plain (she actually scrapes it off her toast). The husband isn't inclined to try it. Places like Winco also have a grinder, where you can grind the peanuts (or cashews or almonds) yourself and makes it there.

I had severe knee pain between turbofire and running. It was so bad, I had to take an unwanted rest week and when i went back to working out, the pain returned. A friend suggested glucosamine and I have taken it since and have noticed the pain is almost non existant now.

I had mine done a couple months ago and was 11.5 %, but I definitely don't look as ripped as the women in the photos at that percentage.

Most protein shake brands are pretty good, currently I alternate between shakeology and designer whey (vanilla). I also recently heard of adding cottage cheese to protein shakes, which actually makes it like a milkshake. The cottage cheese alone adds another 15 g of protein to the shake, on top of the 20 or so in the…

I love the crunch workout!!! I got amazing results!

The body absorbs more of the vitamins and healthy stuff that is in shakeology differently than in pill form. I drink shakeology every day at lunch and love it. I have seem great results and it helps me add more protein to my diet. I have used various weight loss and protein supplements over the last several years. GNC…

It does everything. Check out the 100 doctors video on teh previous link. It is a meal replacement shake, like a protein shake. Only this has vitamins, probiotics, prebiotics, superfoods, ect. All the servings of fruit and veggies for the day condensed into a shake. It is all natural, in chocolate and greenberry flavors.…

Great ladies!!! If you already have this, no worries! If not, go ahead and click the link in the description and order it. If you have started, great for you! Please continue to share your experiences with us! Each person will probably have a slightly different schedule too, as the calendar changes depending on your booty…

Before and after pics are completely optional. I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable, so it's where your comfort lies. I, as well as the program do suggest taking weekly pics for yourself, whether you post them or not. This allows you to see weekly progress in yourself (as it can be hard to see progress in the mirror…

I experimented with this a few weeks ago. Over easter was when I decided to try this cheat day thing. Of course I had the "cheat day" mindset and ended up eating a lot of junk, chocolate mainly! It was delicious and I didn't feel too bloated. The next day however, I felt extremely bloated and it took a few days for it to…

Yes! I have tried shakeology and loved it so much that I became a beachbody coach! It is really amazing! I regularly use the chocolate flavor and love to mix is with frozen fruit, especially various berries. now that the weather is warming up, I blend it, then stick it in the freezer for about thirty mins and it'll get…
