I LOVE your back. And bejeezus, you shredded even before NROLFW with that TF. Congratulations! I'm a past TFer. I'm just going to pick it up for fun when I'm taking a break from my gym schedule. I'm finally tackling those circuits and lifting all the things!

Agree with the fact that this activity shouldn't be part of your count, since wearing HRM all the time does give false hope, BUT... I do only burn like 30 or so doing nothing for 15-20 minutes. And you did burn a decent amount doing 30 Day Shred, so I totally believe in what you're doing. However, if this is going to be an…

cute, bump!

I'll finally do this =P! 1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight? Height: 5' 3.5" (YES the half inch is important) CW: 168.0 (probably not anymore...) GW: 130.0 Why am I losing weight? Because I was born fat, according to my family. No, really, because I was unable to…

A lot of it is too homemade or potluck-style that I don't know quite what's in it. If I made something (like my fat-laden baked mac and cheese) then I know what appropriate portions to eat. In general, for holidays (and even lately for trips) I don't log because a) people are starting to question me when I feel the need to…

When I'm depressed I don't want to do anything. When I'm on the meds I feel loads better. It can't hurt, right? Also, the sedating anti-ds are usually the ones associated with weight gain. Zoloft, Lexapro, Paxil etc should be fine (but ask your psychiatrist).

Bronx girl! :)

I always suspected he couldn't be real because I was one of those kids who would watch TV shows and go "Well, 1) I don't have a chimney and 2) I always see the present's in mami's closet." Guess that's what makes me the smartass I am today. :P I won't discourage my kids from believing because I still went to mall Polaroid…

I hate when people complain about thunder thighs... I love mine though I need to get back on toning them :P (was a triathlete and then musical theatre in HS, so worked them a lot!). I always tell myself they're big cuz they support my booty! =) So that's fine with me!

Your hood is kind of suspicious

Oohh necroing an old post :bigsmile: I was inactive when this was held! I'm an Electrical and Comp eng student, going into Energy! (Power elec and systems conc) special interest in Renewables and Utilities!

Triplets!

I don't work (yet) but in Engineering there are days where I don't even sleep and I'm usually up til lateeeeeee at night in the lab. Feel free to add y'all :) It's so hard to be motivated to go to the gym when you know you have to stay cooped up getting ish done!

bump! going to try this with some ground turkey (can't have too much red meat).

Wow! You look fine!! I have NROLFW but I love my cardio program, I just want to finish it all the way through, but I do want to add some lifting here and there. Nice waist especially!

Salt is in everything anyway :), so for when I have the choice to add additional sodium (like Adobo seasoning) I just use a seasoning substitute without it (like Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute, Mrs. Dash's Lemon Pepper).

Hey! I started right where you are now :) (5'3.5", 185.4lbs). I'm 170.0 now. Definitely feel free to friend me! I do TurboFire, BeFiT (YouTube series, some nice butt work ;P but also have some basic vids that have the same nice routines just lower impact than in the serious vids like Insanity... no lie. There's burpees,…

This to a T! I took off 3 days last week (and wrapped that all up with an all-nighter - smart, right??) And I felt the ultimate in BLARGH!

Current Weight: 170.0 Goal Weight: 165.6 --- Changing to 164. 11/26: 173.6 12/3: 170.0 12/10: 12/17: 12/24: How's your Goal Non-Scale Victory coming along? The classes were going fine, but then I took a dive this weekend.... Not ordering take out = successful! Also, been seeing some inch droppage :) But my inches days are…

Yep... I have friends that can eat buckets and they won't gain anything. They're also about just as active as I am (which is not much at an engineering school). But the other day I was talking to them about it and they said, "Even though I can eat a buffet and say I'm STILL hungry, have you ever actually SEEN me eat more?"…

I am not fit at all, but I'm on Week 3 of TurboFire. It's hard to keep up because of coordination, but after awhile you get used to it. =) I've heard to do a hybrid for the strength training, but since you started Fire already maybe just lift some weights 3x/week? Doesn't have to be heavy, don't strain yourself. ps. I too…

I limit myself to one drink. Also, some places (like restaurants) have "Skinny" versions of popular sugary drinks.

bump! =)

Salad, no croutons or dressing Sandwiches, grilled, no mayo, wheat bread (and preferably chicken or turkey)

I can't believe she kept going, though... .Screw that lady, and just keep doing you! I store it all in my tummy too, everyone asks when I'm due :/ Ignore them and just whip out onto the beach this summer! Remember, that's what these cold months are for: breaking a sweat :D and don't go too intense just cuz of what she…

bump, cuuuute!

I was going to. The workouts aren't a problem for me; the diet plan was. I bought fresh salmon and the like but i don't carry quinoa and the others like off the back of my hand... so on Day 1 I stuck to it all but backfired on dinner. I just did like double the program intensively for the first week lol (think 5k burned…

I do strength training separate. But this week I started to wear weighted gloves on my hand to add to the intensity and tone my arms (I tried taking them off for a little bit.. now it feels too easy without them!). But my legs definitely feel firm thanks to the kicking and squatting. Also there are the Core, Tone, etc…

Ooo this looks good :) yeah I don't really like oatmeal myself. Thank you!
