I love Chalene Johnson! I got to meet her last month... so awesome!! Good luck and have fun!! :-)

empanadas chilenas!

women love seeing tattoos of other women, the more scantily clad the better. runners up would be anything tribal or maybe barbed wire. good luck!

Actually it sounds like your cal intake is way low for your activity level... have you tried bumping it up a while and seeing how things go? I'd try 1500 for a week (still eating clean). Good luck!

I'm pre-ordering the fitbit FLEX... it looks like the nike fuel band, you wear it while you sleep too! It comes out this spring and I can't WAIT for it to come!!!

one more question-- how accurate are scales with BF measures built in? do I need to get my "official" current body fat %, or could I use what my scale says as a rough estimate? What's a reasonable time frame to cut 15-17% of body fat?

thanks guys! I'll focus on that BF% number as the main driver... congratulations to those people who've earned them already! I'll be joining you soon :)

shakeology! I get my entire day's worth of fruits and vegetables in one yummy shake. http://ow.ly/gLqhp

oh my gosh, that's awful! what happened?

I like to change out regular flours for GF ones like quinoa or tapioca flour. You can find a lot of good recipes at skinnytaste.com. good luck!

It slows down your metabolism SO MUCH it's just not worth it for me... if I have to be somewhere where people expect me to drink I'll order a soda water with lime so they don't give me a hard time and I can still stick to my goals :)

I found an almond cheese last winter and it was amazing. Yes, cheese- made out of almonds. It was perfect because I was paleo at the time, but was missing cheese. it didn't melt super awesome but was perfect for snacks. totally recommend!

Hey! I get my DRV of B6 everyday from the nutrition drink I have for breakfast... I've definitely noticed a difference since I started drinking it but I couldn't tell ya if it's from B6 or all the other fabulous stuff it has :)

I know exactly how you feel. I'm what I call in "active recovery" of bulimia. Food has always been a reward/treat in my family and when stress got really bad I turned to it as comfort and then started bingeing/purging. I've been able to get my eating under control, but the mental part is just as hard (if not harder!) than…

I noticed you play hockey, what position do you play? I'm guessing a wing since you are so tall... I played goal in HS and college... haven't played in a while though. what are your workouts like to add muscle and get lean?

hey Zen, the main difference is that p90x aims to tone all over, while beast is for building bulk through continuously maxing out your weights. just depends on what your goals are :)

weight loss and fitness are a slow process! we see so many ads for quick fixes, and see the fast results on biggest loser but in real life it is much slower... it can be hard to stay motivated when change is not immediately visible but you must BELIEVE that what you are doing is helping to achieve your goals. You can do…

I use a heating pad and get to my workout when they are not so bad

OOO I need more friends, too!:smile:

you look fabulous! great work!!
