August 2nd over here!!!

Starting IF today. A couple of questions: Do you eat anything during your fasting window? I am reading conflicting info. Is it better to start with a bigger eating window? Any other advice?

I am getting married in 8 weeks so definitely getting serious about foods! I have cut out most bread products, sweets and reduced alcohol intake. For right now I am eating a variation of the following each day: Egg White + Avo for breakfast Turkey Jerky for snack Lean Protein + Salad for lunch Almonds for snack Lean…

Did you ever try it? I am wondering the same thing, debating buying the "BURN" product...

I am only down 4 lbs but have lost a lot of inches. I do a lot of weight lifting so not sure if I should measure by lbs or body fat. Either way, I am pretty happy with my outcomes so far!

This is my dress! http://liancarlo.com/bridal/style-5833/

I love your dress!

Good call! My fiancé about died when I told him I needed some new shoes!!! Especially for us runners, this is key - got to take care of your feet!

I have good days and bad days. The good habits I have picked up are reducing wine, way more Cardio, and generally cleaner eating. There have been a few slip ups but overall, I am trending downwards! I think I have added a lot of muscle mass in the last 2 months because my clothes are hanging off me but my weight has only…

Ditto! I was traveling ALL of week 2 and while I tried my best, I only got 2 workouts in :( I did do a lot of walking over the weekend though! Eating out made eating healthy more difficult but I tried to stick to my guns. Waiting until tomorrow to way in bc I've also been PMSing and feel bloated. Haha reading this now, I…

Hi! I forgot to log yesterday, was traveling. It's definitely harder on the weekends but I am trying my best to keep it up! I came down with a cold today so will likely not exercise but also don't have much of an appetite...c'est la vie! Lets keep going, you are doing great!:happy:

Ok - day 6 and some good news! The scale was not calibrating before I stepped on it. It's done this in the past and I forgot to check this week! So I have gained 1 lb, not 4! HAH! Still unhappy about the gain but at least I didnt gain 4!

Ok so I got on the scale today and it went up again! So annoyed but sticking to it.

Thanks ladies! I am definitely not going to give up but it was discouraging. Here's to Monday's weigh in!!!

Agree! Mine has the best of intentions when he cooks for me but does not realize I cannot eat a super heavy pasta dish and dessert every day! I am trying to teach him to pick better recipes from websites like Women's Health, Self, Real Simple etc. I think it is finally setting in! On that note, I made this last night and…

I am also August 2nd! Yay

I am counting net cals but with a goal of always being under 1200 net cals! Like today, I was over my 1200 net cals so we went on a walk and then I foam rolled! How is everyone else doing?

How do you guys log barre into MFP? Pilates?

I am wondering the same thing! Let me know if you get a response...

Thank you to those that set this up! I am on day 2 too! So far, I have done a decent job at exercise but forget to watch what I eat. I am hoping this will keep me more honest. Our wedding is August 2nd but I am also going to Puerto Rico for a work rewards trip on May 4th and I am terrified of being in my bathing suit. Now…

Hi! I'm Jules. Like some of you, we have had a loooong engagement but I've slacked on fitness. I'm getting married August and now is my time to crack down! Starting now to get serious, love the idea of supporting each other! SW: 175 CW: 166 GW: 150 UGW: 140

I am getting married August 2nd, eek! Need to get my butt in motion! I also am going to Puerto Rico for vacation in May - aka need to start right now!
