It was somewhere in week 3 that I really "got it" and was kicking *kitten* with the workouts. It took me that long just to be confident in the moves and my ability to do it! You will get there!

I had been working out barefoot too lol I got new Nike's they are running shoes. Some of the jump turns are hard since I am working out on carpet, but overall my feet feel so much better now than when I was not using shoes or having to wear my horrible crap ones since I couldn't do calf hops without them. Find what works…

Just when I think I hate the work out I love them. Speed 1.0 yesterday I loved and again lower focus today. I am proud to say I completed the entire work out with minimal mods (only on ones that killed my knees until I get new shoes...mine suck so bad) and I feel like I nailed it! I kept up the entire time!!!! It is so…

I sweat more doing TBC last night with the modified than ever before. My calorie burns are lower but I can tell I am getting a better work out. All of you are doing amazing! I really love checking off the workout when I finish. Makes me feel so accomplished. Even if every single time I check "barely made it". :). Keep up…

Week 2 day 1 alpha cardio - done. I did miss stretch yesterday...think I should make it up????

Finished Alpha Week 1!! I am so happy I could do the 2 workouts yesterday. I am already seeing results with my body, my weight, inches lost, and with my endurance. That is soooo motivating!

I love hearing you are nailing the workouts now! That totally motivates me. I too just finished week 1 and can't wait to be where you are! Keep it up!!!

Hi All, Starting today 3/17 Age 34 5'11" CW: 198.2 GW: 170 Got off track with my new job, so looking for this workout to help fit in my new schedule. Want to lose the 12 I have put back on, and then some =) Excited for this group.

A Xi D! ????????????????????

This!!!

Big yellow spot is #1 been following that for years. Just had such an amazing watermelon yesterday that I ate the whole thing in 2 days hahaha! (ok the kids had 1 small piece each lol) But yes, the brighter the yellow and and the duller the green!!! mmmmm Thanks!

Awesome thread and bumping for the list of places to visit! My hubby and I always have said we want to visit, but will most likely stay!

That's why I am in CO now!

Orig from Riverside area....in Co now....

Hi, well here are a few questions. how long have you not been losing? You mentioned you have upped cals and have lowered them....how long did you up them for and how long did you lower them for? All of this is really important to understanding where you are coming from. I am 5'11" and for me to reach my goal (of 165 -…

HOLY CRAP! What a fantastic transformation in 10 months! CONGRATS you have done awesome!

Over exertion can cause period loss. Doing intense cardio for long times can pause menses.

Try Butt Bible by Pauline Nordin. It is like 10 bucks at Target. It did wonders for my inner thighs and saddle bags. She has kick *kitten* legs and the moves you learn in it can be applied at the gym. You can do it, it will just take time. That and you may need to look at some body fat % loss diets. This may help... GOOD…

OMG my MIL is the worst too. A while back I was staying with her and she kept asking me how I had lost weight and what my diet was like. I was eating Paleo at the time and I told her the basics as to not freak her out too much. She proceeds to tell me that is how she eats and asks if there is anything she can buy for me. I…

They do at mine....but each one is different and each state is too...

I hate it when people ask me for advice on their diet and exercise how I lost the weight and then I tell them,I exercise and changed my diet...then they say "I exercise and eat healthy!" If that were the case you would not want my help and would not be 80-160lb overweight!

I personally weigh daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Just out of curiosity. I do miss some days tho. It works for me. I know others who do not like this....OP if you are trying to figure it out for you...try once a week, once a day, once a month etc. and see which one works for you. I know that waiting is frustrating…

bump - so one day I can post my pics (still in beginning and fat loss stages)

THIS! I used to get all sorts of treats from students. Cookies are easy since they are not there to watch you eat them all the time. But iced coffees and coffees are hard. Maybe at a break (recess or at passing period - depending on what grade you teach) you could toss it or if it is in an opaque cup, rinse the cup out and…

Fantastic. Yes, your workouts are burning less, but any muscle you have built is burning more during the day (an probably more in the long run than in your workouts) Keep up the amazing hard work!
