I'm interested in trying this and seeing if anyone is still following and having continued success?

So I kind of lost some motiviation on Wednesday - I think its close to TOM -- but made myself do my workout last night - even though I didn't want too - did the punishment exercise and thought ok at least I've got all my totals. This morning I look at the boards and we have to do the punishment 4 times! so now I've got to…

I happen to see this on the forums yesterday and decided to research it. I've had a very hard time losing the last two years even though I feel I eat fairly healthy and work out a bunch. I'm going on 50 so probably the main culprit is aging and pre-menopausal. I do have days where I am just not hungry and eat more just…

I'm interested in the results of others following this way of life too.

I have been doing the squats with a barbell and have no problems with those. No I haven't read that far ahead maybe I'll go and just check out a few variety and try them. Good do know that walking lunges is ok!

I have a problem doing the step-ups and lunges. I don't feel like I am getting anything out of step-ups (and I just don't like them - lol). So I was doing the leg press weight machine in place of -- but now I read that it may not be doing the same thing. Are there any alternatives? And lunges - really hurts my knees and I…

I'm at the beginning stages I guess. I go for about two months with nothing then boom have a really bad one. I am definitely stressed and more emotional then I was before. I've gone through spurts where I have hot flashes but they seem to have subsided for the moment. I do take Estroven for weight loss and maybe that has…

Yes order the NROLFW -- it is explained so well and the program set out is good. The only trouble I had was the A and B schedule but on the forums for New Rules here in MFP someone explained it and I copied it so if you need it - let me know. I love that I walk into the gym, follow the program, and walk out about 20 min…

I just posted this in menopaus group and seemed fitting for this thread also :) I am two years into this journey. I'm still trying to find my niche as to what will work for me because what used to work, doesn't anymore! I've gained and trying to keep my spirits up and my motivation up in spite of that is hard. I have a…

I am two years into this journey. I'm still trying to find my niche as to what will work for me because what used to work, doesn't anymore! I've gained and trying to keep my spirits up and my motivation up in spite of that is hard. I have a cousin who is about 5 years older than me and she has gone through this all. And…

Wow what a punishment! Will let you know how I feel after I start doing them. Did another 50 min. cardio along with my 30 min. of New Rules Lifting last night. Will be at 245 cardio after todays lunch run. And 55 strength. Will definitely go over our totals for the challenge. Kick butt today Amy!

Another 50 min. of cardio and hitting the gym for my weight lifting tonight. Maybe some more cardio depending on how I feel. How is the other team doing?? Do we have punishment exercises yet?

Amy - watch the previews for next week carefully! I killed it today and I'm feeling it! Now going for a nice relaxing Harley ride with the hubby!

Alright Amy we are the Hopefuls and we can do this! I'm ready to hit it this week hard. Starting out with a good 50 min. evading zombies and a good 10 min strength training out on the trail during my lunch hour. (ssh don't tell my boss I was a tad bit late getting back from lunch!) Going to hit the trail again after work…

Yea it was some talk with a bunch of music (which I like my playlist and if I wasn't doing zombie run I would be listening to it) but nothing like listening to radio mode or an episode. I'll probably do the supply runs when I'm at our camping area and out on trails as something to listen to out there. Has anyone done an…

Here's my totals for the week TJ: Monday: 65 min. cardio; 15 min. of strength Tuesday: 45 min. cardio; 30 strenght; 30 cardio Wednesday 45 min. cardio; 30 cardio; 15 strength Thursday 45 min. cardio; 30 min strength Friday 50 min. cardio; Saturday 60 min. cardo; 30 min. strength including punisment circuit I include…

Well I've hit my goals for the challenge: 310 cardio; 105 strength. Wow 500 cardio is hard to do. I feel like I've really been working out hard this week. I still have tomorrow so the most I see me doing is around 370 maybe, just maybe 400. How's everyone else doing with their totals??

Thanks! I think I will finish radio mode and then do the last episode of season one. What about supply runs and air drops - do you do those?

Do you only have 10 lbs to go to be at your goal? If so, I wouldn't set your goals on the scale. The scale itself is one of the worst ways to measure success. Set your goal for losing inches/toning, or increasing cardiovasular, or fitting into a specific size. If I was going solely on the scale I would have thrown in the…

TJ - you can go at your own pace on the zombie run. You do have to up your speed to out run the zombies. I started out walking it and then moving to a jog when I had a zombie chase. Now I'm up to running almost the whole episode - but there are still those days I'm not quite feeling it and I can still walk it. You can also…

It has been harder than I thought it would be. But I had some leftover food at work that I ate up -- progresso soup, not necessarily that bad for you but definitely processed and I have a pack of ritz crackers that I will eat just like two or three to curb the salty carb craving. All in all still good for what I was eating…

Mell - I have let my workouts go to very little to nothing over the last two years because I have rushed home to cook and take care of my husband. It was a bad habit to let myself get into and so here we are almost 30 pound heavier! So I told him I'm getting back in the groove and my workouts. Because I am not letting…

I have decided that the next two weeks are going to be ME weeks and I plan on working out, running and working and running so I will shoot for the 500 cardio as a challenge to myself. I've been good on eating at a deficit according to my fitbit, but also for the next two weeks I am challenging myself to eat NO processed…

I hope the other team doesn't mind and our team leader doesn't mind but I've been watching the boards to see what the punishment is because I go to the gym at lunch and I need to get started on it to get it done within the timeframe. This is what I pulled off of Team Rick's board so I'm going to go with it today and still…

Great job Mell! You have been an inspiration. I'm hoping to see Mika and Lizzie tonight too!

I hit my goals on everything and have 85 min. extra of cardio and 45 extra min. of strength. I did my challenge wall squats and my core workouts and yoga as required. I hit my food goals everyday staying within my deficit. I did my 5 I run yesterday I'm 50 minutes. Haven't stepped on the scale or measured yet but I am…

In looking at my totals through today and what I plan on doing the next 3 days I will hit my goals on everything and will have 85 min. extra of cardio and 45 extra min. of strength that I can donate to another member. If there is anything extra I can do to help our team get higher points, let me know as I could work on…

So I ran my numbers after my cardio today and I will hit my 300 min. cardio goal and hit all my other strength, core, squats goals for the group. So I don't know if anyone needs help with cardio but I will be over mine and will be happy to donate some to a group member if needed. I'd really like to adopt a new character…

I was having hypoglycemia episodes and I did testing with my dr and all came out normal - doctor told me nothing was wrong. I know my body and it was not right. I found Jay Robb who gave me a wealth of information. Your most likely doing what I was doing and eating the wrong kinds of foods to keep you stable. I started…

Checking in - had a little tummy problem yesterday so I didn't get my run in but I did do my strength (weights) and my core work and my wall squats. Feeling better today so I'm going to be back at the gym doing my run and then getting some more strength and core work in. All these squats - man I am feeling it. I am bumping…
