  • I totally agree! Most days that's how I feel. Here and there I feel like a bit of a pig but when I realize I need to eat more instead of less it's really uplifting! Well done. I hope you enjoy the journey.

  • The description is good. Try starting with a weight that is 25 -30% less than what you would lift on that first exercise. Make sure you keep track of the weights you are using for the next time. I know for myself at this point in time I usually go about 20-25% less. I usually do one set for the same number of reps as what…

  • That's a good question actually because a lot of people do these programs.

  • I guess I have been posting in the live feed so I might as well check in too. pedmom: I hope your foot feels better soon. How was the running with it? At least it doesn't look like it's slowing you down. I can't imagine getting shots in the foot. That in itself must be.......unpleasant....... Belinda: Have a blast with M3.…

  • Hi everyone, Glad to see this new check-in thread. I have to go to a kid's Bday party soon but will post a bit. Danamae: I am with you. I am a bit shorter and a bit heavier and I have the same problem of wanting to do different things all the time to shake off the weight. I'll be happy to see what advice the ladies here…
