Just started Week 5 and added the AMRAP sets in Pretty darn hard today... I was and am very sore!!!

Finishing Stage 1 Part 4 WO B tonight Starting Stage 1 Part 5 WO A on Saturday...

Did Turbo Jam yesterday as part of my Cardio Day!!! It was tough.. I think I 'bonked'?? Is that the word when you can barely move?

I have a question about 'how' many calories.. I'm into my fourth week of weight training and had a Metabolic check (you know the one that you blow into a machine) My Resting Energy expenditure is 1411 Cal + My Lifestyle activity (depending on activity level) is up to 423+ Exercise (mod 30 min) 146 = Total Enery Output…

Bethann you are an inspiration!!! Way to go; because we all know how extremely hard you must be trying!!!

I've had a low thyroid for 18 years now.. I 'really' didn't have a problem until menapause I've gained over 60 lbs in the last 10 years. It is rough There's more involved than just the numbers on the lab results.

Hi I've got 'Turbo Jam' Same trainer .. I'd like to use it along with your group. I'm also doing 'the shred' and NR4Lw (New Rules for Lifing to Women) If I could I'd like to work this into my cardio days and just follow along with your group.. At some point I may get strong enough to just utilize this only. Would you mind…

Arber07 I'm certainly not a trainer I've had a few personal training sessions and I think you are right.. You may be a little light. With the pushups you may want to lean against a bar with your hands.. 'incline pushups' with legs straight. You're muscles should feel at least warm after a set. If you 'can't get' over 8…

Love the quote 'strong is the new skinny"... I've had the same problem with clothes!! Be kind to yourself..

Thanks MeRoBI You'll be a good source for us I'm sure!!! I love it when people who've been through this give suggestions !! Did WO A Third week yesterday!!! I was shaking at the end!!

I've just finished week 2 of stage one... Missed a couple of workouts because our gym through us a curve ball by not completing their agreement . so my hubby and I are looking for a new gym... will be doing WO B Stage one hopefully today at a new gym...

Kiki You've just described the last 10 years of my life (and my husband would agree with you!) I'm actually 50 lb's 'heavier because of all those crazy running around in circles trying to find out whats going to work. Thanks for the call to reality!!!

A truly wonderful story.. Thank you for sharing it. I'm sure you enjoy every second of your new freedom!!!

I'm in Starting Stage A perfect time for me... We're looking for a new gym... Level One Stage A

Well I'm still waiting for my book to get here I've modified a work out from the BIG BOOK of Womens Excercises I think it's a bit longer (It's an hour and has cardio in it with the weights) I've done it three times now and I am 'really' seeing a difference I've gone up already on some of the weights Wow Can't wait for the…

Steps... 1) Get a 3 Subject Note Book 2) First Section: Vision Board - take the first few pages and cut out inspiring words and images from magazine, off line etc - things you want for your life, then paste them in your journal!! It doesn't need to to be pics of super fit girls or about weight loss, , sometimes that makes…

Ok I get it I was planning every other day So Today (Thurs I'd start with WO 1 Squat 2 sets 15 reps... Superset of Push up/ Seated row WO 1 2 sets 15 rep each and than Super set Step up / Prone Jackknife WO 1 2 sets 15 reps each Than... Saturday would be the same but it's considered WO 2 Monday Same but considered WO 3 Wed…

Ok I haven't got the 'book' yet Hopefully today But I have the kindle version and want to start this tonight. I'm trying to plan but I'm on Stage 1, Workout A (Workouts 1-4 of 9) I can't find where Squat has WO 1,2,3, 4 ?? Than Supersents Alternating Push up and Seated Row Each of these have WO' 1,2,3, 4? C Steups…

I'm interested in the PDF version too I've ordered the book after my kindle being too cumbersome..

This caught my eye too I'm 53 and get discouraged easily. I like the expression 'experienced women with matur goals.

Just ordered the book.. I have this book on my kindle but the workout sheets are too small to read and I can't copy them. It's also ridiculous to try to find explanations of excercises So I'm getting this tomorrow and planning on starting on Stage one as soon as possible. Is there a website that I could print out the work…

I know it's been a HUGE issue for me too!!!

I'm 5'5" too and 194. My goalis 145 but I'm 53 years old. Ten years ago I was 134 but it took 'a lot' of excercizing and I was a vegetarian which I do not think my body would like right now. Personally I'd say try for 145 and than see how you feel and look. From what I'm hearing short term goals of 10% of your current body…

Thanks for the List Mollie I have a couple of these books already but haven't read them yet.

Hello all I'm new to this group Trying Intuitive Eating and finding that Bine eating is my biggest fear.. Today (first day in about a week I lost it and ate without being aware of what I was eating ie I Binged!! I need to release the guilt and get back into working the principles of intuitive eating. This is an absolute…
