Arlington Heights here!

Hi there! Mine is open to friends. It's very boring, but it works! Add me, I'm fairly new here and could always use some motivation as well!

13 pages?!? Holy *kitten*! I read the 1st & jumped to 13, I can only imagine what's in between! Feel free to add me, I love making new friends!

This just made coffee come out of my nose!

Just a side note - If you're going to do Insanity, you may need to up your carbs. You WILL need the extra energy, as this is a cardio workout, not a resistance workout! Great choice - Good Luck!

Agreed!

Sugar free Jello

I prefer low carb, but within reason. A bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a serving of brown rice at lunch, a serving of yams/brown rice/etc... at dinner and unlimited amounts of fibrous vegetables are all "good" carbs that provide energy and promote fat loss. Breads, pastas & potatoes aren't necessary... If you can't "live"…

It's a tie between Breakfast Club & Sixteen Candles! Basically, any John Hughes movie... Breakfast Club was filmed at my high school!

1. Fire your trainer & get your money back 2. Start eating more 3. Start lifting weights - cardio will burn muscle first if you're not taking in enough calories 4. Read... ALOT!

Not all calories are equal. If you're sacrificing protein for carbs, you'll retain more water. Also, women's hormones do tend to work against them once a month or so, maybe drink a bit more water.

STFU & train!

I stay away from processed sugar & some fruits that are very high in sugar. Somebody mentioned sugars that naturally occur in bread - there's nothing natural about bread, it's completely processed. However, if you need bread, check out Julian Bakery, they have very low carb, no carb, gluten free, blah blah blah... that may…

OR - 1 scoop chocolate protein and 2 TB natural peanut butter = foodgasm!

Cinnamon, splenda & 4 oz of natural unsweetened applesauce - tastes like apple cobbler!

I'm not a big drinker to begin with, but I haven't had any alcohol since this past Christmas (2 glasses of red wine). Alcohol calories are the worst, completely empty & useless. Why is it impossible to watch a game without alcoholic drinks? Not judging, just trying to understand... As for right now, I'd rather eat clean…

Welcome, you'll love it here!

HA! Hang tough - don't cave in! LOL!! I'm new here too - add me!

Hi All! I signed up a few weeks ago for the Aug 18 Warrior in WI. This will be my first & I'm really looking forward to it! I made sure to sign up as a St. Jude Warrior - raise money for the kids & guarantee a private shower after the race! :bigsmile: I'm really new here and could use a whole bunch of friends, so add me -…

Hi! I'm new here too, add me! I was in the USAF - which branch did you train with?

Hi! I typically follow 50/30/20 - Pro/Fat/Carb Once a week I do a carb load day, usually the day before my heavy leg workout. It all depends on how I feel, what the mirror says & on rare occasion, what the scale says! I'm new here & could use some friends - add me!

Thanks to all of you for your service! USAF Veteran Just joined here, could use some "friends"...

Weight training is the absolute best way to transform your body and lose fat. If you haven't trained with weights for a while, you'll see a difference in your strength, endurance and figure pretty quick. How many days a week do you want to weight train? Based off of that, you can design a plan to hit all body parts within…

I'm sure you meant 1500 per day. If you're not eating enough, your body will hold onto the weight as well.

That works pretty well for me, too! Ha!

Let's do this - add me too! I just joined yesterday & need some friends as well!

Great job! Your flower shrunk!!!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that laughs at that! Ha!

I just joined, add me! Same goes for anybody else!
