Great first step! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

I've been using it for 11 weeks. It's a great program. I find it's best to use it if you have a gym membership though... I haven't been following the meal plan too closely and only just started adding in the cardio plan so not a bunch of weight loss (yet). But i'm definitely stronger and have lots more definition in my…

Feel free to add me (Connie Duniece) too! I just got mine last week...love it!

i just got my up 24 and love it. it doesn't track the cardio or weight lifting automatically, but you can use the stop watch function to mark time that you spent doing other activities and go into the app to tag them and the calories will adjust to the activity. I would like to find more people to join my team though since…

Covered ~5K in a 45 minute walk/jog with my puppy this morning. Thinking we might try yoga tonight.

Hi, I'm Connie. I just turned 33 and am looking to lose about 20 pounds. I used to be fairly active (gym, half marathons, sports, yoga) but then my job turned insane and I ended up working 60 hour weeks and eating on the road all the time. I'm making changes in that and re-prioritizing my life and health. To get in shape…

Hi, I'm Connie. I just turned 33 and am looking to lose about 20 pounds by Christmas.

Hi, this is connie here. I started running about 6 years ago to get in shape to be my sisters maid of honour. I started with a 10k clinic and got hooked training with a group and was logging about 25 - 30 miles a week training for a few half marathons. But life and a knee injury got in the way and its been about 2years…

I'm just wrapping up week 4. The workouts are great, my eating has been on and off though. I'd love to join a group!

The straight legged dead-lift is a good one to do for the hamstrings. I do legs twice a week with a combo of squats, lunges, straight legged deadlifts, the program I'm doing right now is more of a body-building vs. olympic lifting one (since I'm getting ready for my wedding and care more about how my muscles look than…

The half marathon distance is a very "doable" distance, however your pace and results may vary depending on how much training you do. If you are happy just to complete it, I would say go for it...however if you want to finish with some sort of target time, then you might want to defer it for a race where you have more time…

What kinds of ab exercises specifically are you doing? I have back problems too and I find certain things bother my back and I have to modify some ab exercises.
-
Typically for jogging, people recommend a mid-foot strike (landing on your heels puts too much impact on knees and hips). As for breathing, some people say you should breathe in for 2 counts and out for 3...I find that too much to keep track of so I just try to breathe in and out with deep and even breaths. I find that…
-
You have had some really amazing progress! Congrats for that! One thing to be sure of when running is to get the right shoes that can support your weight, some of the lighter weight running shoes don't have enough support and can cause all sorts of knee, hip and other joint problems. There are lots of programs out there…

I'm currently on week 3 of the program to get ready for my wedding. It's aligned to what bodybuilders cycle through...build muscle through weights, then you add cardio for a month, then do high intensity cardio and carb cycle to cut the fat and show off muscle. I haven't seen any drastic changes since it's only week 3, but…
-
It is all a matter of genetics and how your body is built. Sad thing is the last place you gain fat is the first place you lose and vice versa... So for me, boobs will go bye bye first...and that stubborn fat on the thighs will be the last to go.

I'm not getting married till November, but I've got 20 pounds to lose for that too. I'm turning up the weights this month to build a base of muscle tone, then adding cardio next month to burn some fat. And then upping the intensity of my cardio closer to the wedding and upping the reps for my weights for some more intense…
-
I started it and just finished week 3. I haven't lost much (1kg), but am feeling pretty good and motivated. feel free to add me if you want to motivate each other!

For a quick and good workout on the road that doesn't need any equipment I do: 100 burpees 100 body weight squats 100 situps

Some more speciality stores will let you sample powders before buying. They might be a bit more expensive to try, but would be worth it to find something you like.

Hi I'm connie. New to this whole trying to be healthy thing, but after 25 everything I ate seemed to stick to my hips and stomach, so now at 30, i'm hoping its not too late to get in shape for my November wedding and make sure I don't gain weight as many do after the wedding. My desk job and long work hours don't help, so…

Top of my list since it's nice and filling is Olfason's flax whole wheat breakfast pitas. i eat half of one (100 calories) with peanut butter..almond butter is better for you, but I LOVE crunchy peanut butter too much. Another good one is keeping a shaker bottle and a good protein or meal replacement shake on hand for…

Way to go! You look amazing
-
Good idea! Will start doing that. When I'm out is the biggest risk. I get busy then get hungry and am tempted to eat the first thing I see. What sorts of snacks do you pack?
-
You look amazing...and gorgeous dress. I'm showing this to my mom, she's been looking or inspiration for getting fit for my wedding in November.
-
Not so picky with logging it, but I decided to get a food scale to make sure I was actually logging what I was eating correctly, and was surprised at how different what I thought was100g and what really was 100 grams. So now I'm definitely picky about weighing things before logging.

Coming back from time off is tough because you remember where you were before you left, but you got there once and can get there again. And if there are things you can't control getting you down, focus on the things you can and master those.
