I am in a Valentines day Challenge but I like this one too...count me in!

This thread has kept me very much entertained for about the last 40 minutes! So why not! Female 22 years old Minneapolis MN Interested in men 21-30ish

I have never done it consistently, therefore I haven't gotten past the first level but I do like it. I wouldn't want to do it every day but its a good addition to your workout routine so you do not get bored. AND it is great because it is only 20 minutes!

I have tried to do that but I am starving shortly after. I usually use it as a "supplement" and not a "replacement" but if you are getting all the nutrients you need and you are feeling good I don't see why it wouldn't be acceptable to use it as a replacement. Can I ask which whey protein you are using? I might have to try…

Thanks for the research based answer, I was going to look into it and see if I could find any research on it but you did the work for me :)

I have never heard of this definitely going to have to try it! (Hopefully I can find it in a MN grocery store, it isn't a seasonal thing is it???)

Hello! I am 22 and looking to lose 22lbs to start with, and am always looking for extra friends and support! Feel free to add me! :)

I definitely understand where you are coming from. I will do really well for a few days or a week but then I mess up once, even if it is just at one meal and then I have a bad 2, 3 sometimes 4 days before I get back on track. I work with emotionally disturbed kids and I tell them every day if you have one bad behavior, you…

I would suggest eating at least some of your working out calories, they are there for a reason. If you go at this 150% and completely restrict yourself you are going to end up feeling tired and hungry all the time and you won't stick with it. As you have probably heard a million times there is no quick fix for weight loss…

I have the exact opposite problem...no matter what I do I am always way over my carbs and under my protein. I'm always trying to fix and or reverse it, what kind of things do you eat?

You could mix it with either plain or vanilla low fat greek yogurt. I tried it this morning with the chocolate kind I use. You have to stir it for awhile due to the powder but I thought it was pretty good. And you will add a little extra protein since greek yogurt has more protein then regular yogurt.

Congrats! Good to hear that someone else overcame that dreaded number! :)

WOW!!! You look amazing! Awesome work, thanks for posting these what an inspiration!

I love love love love Trader Joes! Some of my faves: Lite string cheese Chile Lime chicken Greek Yogurt (the pomegranate is my FAVORITE!) Raw Almonds Cheap eggs Lite White Cheddar Cheese Morningstar Veggie burgers and sausage patties (you can buy them at any supermarket but they are cheaper at Trader Joes) Have fun, it is…

Dear person who started this, I was just contemplating whether or not I wanted to go work out and stalling by reading this. Even though it has nothing to do with working out it has gotten me to laugh and given me the extra motivation I need to get off my *kitten* and go work out! So thank you! :) Love, Tired soul that…
