Take your measurements every couple of weeks and see if you might be losing inches even if you're not losing weight. If you're building muscle as you're working out, muscle weighs more than fat so you won't see much difference when you weigh yourself just yet. Don't give up! :smile:

That's great! Exercising will definitely help with quitting smoking!! The first few days are the hardest... just remember that it will get better and you CAN do it! :happy:

Thanks for the ideas!! I'll try those. :)

I crave and snack on white cheddar popcorn. It's all natural and not that bad, but the sodium content is ridiculous!

I added you. Welcome! :)

Added you as a friend. Welcome! :)

Me! In addition to the diet and exercise, I've cut out eating processed foods and will only buy groceries that are all natural. Is that the nesting instinct kicking in??

I ditched flavored creamers entirely and now I drink flavored coffee instead. Most have the same calories as regular coffee. I have a Keurig so I can have a variety of flavored coffees. Delicious!

I'm 35 yrs old - 5'4" and my goal is 130. I thought about setting a lower goal, but I really want to have lean muscle rather than just be skinny and a smaller size.

The nice thing about month two is that it (finally) includes 3 days of strength training in the Tone, Sculpt, and Core workouts and you'll still burn a ton of calories!

Try adding a protein bar as a mid-day snack or a protein shake in the morning. They're packed with extra protein that should help you keep your energy up. Increase your lean meat protein by an extra .25 or .50 portion each time you have a meal. The little bits extra will add up and won't add carbs. Look for whole grain or…

Instead of sandwiches, I usually take a wraps. Tortillas come in all kinds of flavors and they have the same calories as bread, so it's easy to add variety to lunches.

I'm at the end of week 1 of the P90X / Turbo Fire Hybrid schedule. I completed P90X Lean last Spring (woo hoo!)

I'm at the end of week 1 of a P90X / Turbo Fire Hybrid. I completed 6 weeks of Turbo Fire then had to take a month off for an injury. :cry: I'm back at it now with the hybrid workout schedule! :happy:

I agree! Invest in a Heart Rate Monitor and you'll know exactly how many calories you burn.

Fire55 EZ is my favorite - burns a TON of calories and is super fun! :happy:
