I did this also. Sadly I was even going by measurement guidelines that they gave, you know, to be sure they'd fit. Apparently my measurement were much larger than I remembered :( I dug out the tape measure and realized that despite thinking I was eating pretty healthy and exercising, in a year I've gained 2 inches in…

I don't have results yet, I am just finishing up a program right now and will be starting TurboFire in January - we can be buddies!

If I measure around my navel area it's 35" :( my actual waist, smallest part is 30"....it used to be 25 a few years ago. I'd be happy with 28 right now.

I'd like to lose 7-10lbs by end of year, and be able to run for 20 minutes :)

I do not have PCOS but I wanted to share anyways... Last week my naturopath recommended I take DIM supplements for a condition I have that is, like PCOS, estrogen dependent. I guess the DIM gets rid of the excess bad estrogens (xenoestrogens) and helps your body to balance out. It is all natural, from cruciferous…

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all of the information!

It did feel kind of acid reflux-y, not that heart burn feeling but that feeling you get at the back of your throat so maybe you're on to something there!

Me :) I will start day 1 tonight I'll add you do that we can check in. Is this your first time doing 30DS?

Bumping for later

Thanks! I do have someone right beside me adjusting the rest of my form, but maybe they haven't checked out my hands. I'll have to look up that information and make sure!

I usually get early 20's, I even get ID'd frequently, I am 32.

Thank you, I will try the ice/heat. So common sense i'm not sure why I didn't think of it!!

I do not eat 100% clean but i'm working on it, here's what MOST of my days look like: Breakfast - hardboiled egg, greek yogurt & berries OR a 3 egg omlette with spinach and feta OR a green smoothie and some cottage cheese Lunch - spinach salad with chicken breast and some fruit OR quinoa with mushrooms, onions and garlic…

Loooove fried pickles, yum!

This is awesome! Bumping to finish reading later!

This. lol It tastes just like cauliflower, but you can add spices etc into it, or you can also do part cauliflower part potato if you don't love cauliflower.

Hmmm generally our staples are Raspberries Blueberries Greek yogurt Eggs Chicken Fish Quinoa Rutabaga Broccoli Spinach Lettuce Carrots Bananas (for the bf, I am allergic) Grapes Apples Cauliflower Cucumber Tomatoes Feta cheese crumbles Potatoes Occasionally we will buy steak or ground beef instead of chicken Lol..wow,…

I also use the crystal deodorant. I find I don't get stinky, but it allows me to still sweat. Note though that when I first went from using regular deodorants/antiperspirants to using the crystal/salt or other natural deodorants, I did have a period of about 3 days where I needed to freshen up mid-day as my body wasn't…

Bump Calculating in the morning! I was clearly underestimating my activity level, thanks so much for clarifying for me!

I would love to join! Is it ok if I'm going more by inches instead of weight?

Thanks :) he usually only uses on his phone for logging (not big into the forums etc) but I will let him know he should FR for sure, I'm certain it would be nice to see someone who has achieved his goal!

Amazing job! I'm so glad you posted this, my other half is exactly the same starting weight currently as you were. He's feeling very frustrated and discouraged as he really does eat quite healthy, and not too much. Tonight, he has agreed to come to the gym with me, it'll be his first time there in probably 4 or 5 years. If…

Aha. That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying! So right now, my goal is to get stronger and shed the excess fat that I do have. Once i've done that, I will learn more about gaining muscle.

Thank you for clarifying :)

Thanks everyone, i can't wait to check all of this out tonight! :)

I suppose you're right, I would like to get rid of the fat around my current muscle, but I would also get much stronger which I assumed was "gaining muscle"? but maybe that's wrong, pretty new to this stuff. I guess maybe that's just plain old getting stronger!

Bump :) Anyone?

Also you could try it with heavier weights and even add in ankle weights :)

Bump, these all sound great! Mine is usually a couple cups of spinach, some cucumber, water and whatever fruit I have

I prefer to eat my vegetables, but I generally can't eat raw vegetables, only cooked, so every now and then I will juice some as well.
