What foods do you like?

I do 10# (20 total) for legs and 5# (10 total) for arms...I just started Pump though.

Its just frustrating...

I work out with my personal trainer 1x/week doing full body strength training and cardio and try to get to the gym by myself 2-3/week to do some weight lifting and cardio. I'm trying to teach my body to be able to run. This summer I was averaging about 1500c/day and was working out MWF with my trainer and was NOT losing…

Its open to the public now, I think :)

so I'm the only person this happens to?

I have tried both. I use a "shake" for breakfast. Both are expensive, however I prefer the taste of the Advocare to Shakeology (when plain) I feel that Shakeology is a better deal than Advocare. This is why. When I purchase a bag of Shakeology I only use 1/2 a scoop of the powder, 1 TBLSP of peanutbutter and ice/water. It…

I'd try some coffee instead, its likely the same idea. Good Luck!

I'm 5'6" and 150 and wear a size 8-10 Goal: size 4-6, I don't care about weight.

I figured as much but I am NOT interested in being full of *kitten* :)

Huh? What does that mean?

I do, but I am having a really hard time controlling the "fat" in my diet...I was under the impression that good (natural fat ie Avocado) wasn't bad but actually helped. Thoughts?

I am currently doing a total body fitness class that meets M-W-F (45 minutes) and personal training 1-2x/week (1 hour) as well. I often don't feel sore anymore and previously that was how I gauged if my workout was working...the teacher of the class is certain I am doing enough exercise to make a difference yet I am not…

When my son was little (<1 year) I also struggled to find time to exercise. This may come off as unkind, please understand I do not mean it that way. Diet and exercise is something that you have to make part of your day. Also, for me, when I exercise it is MY time to focus on myself. If not for the physical health…

check out Skinnytaste.com There are lots and lots of good recipes that are very healthy!

Good luck!!!! I also, at times, lack motivation to get myself in gear!!! I have found that once I start doing something it gets easier to keep doing it. Keep positive! I'm proud of you :)

Would you say its similar to avocado? some people avoid avocado because they are high in fat, but its good fat.

I don't know what your dietary preferences are but I tend to eat left overs from the night before at lunch. Do you like to cook? There is a blog/website devoted to healthy recipes. Check out skinnytaste.com

I am struggling with motivation as well! It comes in waves for me, so as my mother would say "this too shall pass"

YUMMY Breakfast Bars (Paleo) 2 ½ c. almond flour ½ c. melted butter ½ tsp. Salt ¼ c. agave nectar ½ tsp. Soda ¼ c. honey 1 c. coconut 1 c. sunflower seeds 1 c. pumpkin seeds ½ c. chopped Bakers choc--any dark chocolate will do ½ c. sliced almonds ½ c. raisins ** can substitute any kind of nuts or dried fruit** 1) Mix Dry…

That's the general theme I've heard from various people. It seems there has to be some sort of 'secret' to how a body breaks foods down. Meaning, I've been eating more of my dense meals earlier in the day so I have time to burn them off and eating a lean protein & veggie at night for dinner.

a nice swap for mayo as well is plain non-fat greek yogurt mixed with fresh chopped garlic and a bit of dry ranch powder...come to think of it I almost always us greek yogurt as a sub for mayo in everything.

FYI-Tonic is almost identical to regular soda/pop

Sounds like BS...Ice cream & hot dogs?????

Holy Cats, that's amazing! Kudos to you!
