My experience is that it depends on what I'm doing. If it's cardio, I don't usually eat anything and I still feel great. But when I do weights, I don't really feel like I'm doing my max if I don't eat something first and then work out an hour later. So you have to test your body out to see what works for you.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow. I weighed in this morning at 170.2lbs. I was happy and started crying and my poor baby had to comfort me. She just kept drying my tears telling me not cry. To make it even better, I lost another 0.5 inch in my hips!! My hips have been the hardest thing to lose and I'm finally seeing some…

Current Weight (9/19): 170 (I cried when I saw this number on the scale. My baby didn't know what to do. She just kept wiping my face saying don't cry. Weight lost since last week: -5lbs Calories burned since last week: 3,500 Nutrition goal met?? yes How many miles did you travel this past week: not really sure NEW GOALS…

Oh yes ma'am. My body refuses to cooperate with me sometimes on weigh-in days. Sometimes I change the days up.

I do P90X and I love it. My first round, I lost 26lbs and 16 inches. I'm doing my second round now. I have another 30lbs to go and I'm hoping this will do it. I also do some extra cardio, like jump rope and jumping jacks. The jumping jacks routine I got from this website:…

Obstacles come to make us strong. Keep doing what you're doing. Some of my family members could care less about the food addiction that plagues us. But luckily there are people out there who care about you and want you to succeed on this journey.

Thanks Drew!!!

I can't believe week 3 is almost over. My first time around seemed to take FOREVER, but now I feel like it's flying by. :happy: Q for the ladies!!! I've been trying to find a really good sports bra, but everything that I have tried does not provide good support. I am very top heavy and Plyo is not my friend with the jumps,…

I hear crazy stuff all the time. I hear that I'll look like a crack head if I lose to much weight. I hear that black women are suppose to have some meat on their bones. I hear "you're going to lose your breast or have sagging skin." The worst was when a friend told me that I wasn't meant to be slim, some people are just…

WTG Sassy!!! I can't wait to have gorgeous legs.

LOL, lesson learned. That's happened to me before and I had to do extra cardio. That why I do cheat meals every 2 weeks. I eat one thing that I want, regardless of how many calories, and I do extra cardio to make up for it.

Interesting. I have wide hips though, it's the top that look small.

If I was a beginner, I would start with Cardio X. It's the shortest and incorporates some exercises from the other CDs. My favorite is Kenpo. I love doing it and look forward to it. I love that you use your entire body in almost every movement.

It annoying, but it's what doctors do. When I was in high school, I switched over to the same doctor that my mom was going to. I was 155 lbs in high school, which is overweight, and he kept telling me I needed to lose weight or I would be obese like my mother. And this happened EVERY TIME I went to him.

You guys are AWESOME!! I did Plyo last night and I felt no pain this morning!!! Now I'm gearing up to do Shoulders & Arms this evening. I love the way my body is transitioning into a well oiled machine. It's one thing to lose weight, but it's a amazing feeling to lose weight and tone your body as you go.

I use the seeds in my oatmeal every morning. I don't eat meat, so I don't use fish oil and this is a better alternative for me. I also put them on salads that I eat in the evening. Are you having hunger pains at night? If so, you may want to try to find foods that are more filling in the evening. I usually have a protein…

SW: 176 W1: 180 (BOO!!) W2: 175 (It's not much, but I'll take it!) NSV: 0.5" (I finally lost something off my hips, WOOO HOOO!!!!!)

Current Weight (9/19): 175 Weight lost since last week: -3lbs Calories burned since last week: 2,222 Nutrition goal met?? yes How many miles did you travel this past week: not really sure NEW GOALS for the week of 9/19 through 9/26: Calorie burn goal: 3,000 or more Weight loss goal: 3lbs Nutrition goal: I want to zig zag…

My boyfriend laughed at me yesterday. I was very sick doing chest and back, but I was so determined to do something. I had to take A LOT of breaks, but I did it.

I am all for a cheat meal/snack. Every two weeks I allow myself to have something that I normally don't eat. It can be a piece of cake, fried from Five Guys, a bag of potato chips, a piece of chocolate, etc. This has worked for me. I think everyone has to figure out what works for them. I know some ppl are totally against…

It's nice to know I'm not alone. At least you're adding in cardio. Some folks just skip it and do nothing in it's place. Being a Southern Chick, I'm always surrounded by bad but very tasty foods. I believe in indulging myself every now and then. In the past I would completely cut certain foods out, and in a moment of…

OMG!! That is an awesome idea! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much!!

Does anyone else hate doing Yoga X like I do? It amazes me because I thought it would be Plyo. The first time I did Yoga X, I stopped after about 20 minutes (I know that's awful). When I told a friend he laughed at me so hard, and told me that if I would have just went about 25 more minutes it would have gotten much…

Happy belated Birthday. :flowerforyou: You just gave me encouragement without trying. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I've already been scaring myself that I'm going to over do it. :sad: But, knowing that others can enjoy their special day without eating half a cake gives me encouragement to do the same.

Thanks Jay

Did Plyo yesterday, had my recovery drink, and my legs are still sore. When I say sore, I feel it every time I move. Is this normal (I did the Lean program before, so I never had to do Plyo) or did I over do it?

I so love this chart. It has really inspired me to get myself in gear. I am determined to be in the green next week!!!

At the end of my freshmen year of college, I went to visit my grandfather. He took one look at me and said, "Well damn gal, how big do you plan to get." I just froze.

I have a very stressful job as well, sugar-free gum is my best friend. Also, if the day had been extremely stressful, I take a break and walk the stairs for about 5 min.
