I just signed up today!! Wondered everyone's thoughts on it who have tried it. I was looking for variety (and a nice surprise in my mailbox each month!)

My bf and I are on a low budget too. We meal plan on mondays so we arent buying too many ingredients. Recently we ran out of ideas on a friday and did an eggs benedict of sorts with things we had in the kitchen. It was sort of an eggs benedict bowl if you will? It was brown rice, over medium eggs, red or black beans, onion…

I'd definitely like an answer to this as well!

congrats, guys!!

This is also me. I wear minimus running shoes. No cushion..they are loud. we cant help it!:)

Yeah!!! Nothing wrong with a short 5 mins warm up on the treadmill. Some of us aren't in there to spend HOURSSSSS doing cardio.

Just do a spin class once a week. It forces you to do the whole hour and get it in. Plus...I had horrible breathing issues before I started it. Exercise induced asthma, etc etc... It has gotten SOOOO much better by doing consistent spin.

Second this!!!

I would agree that it does help suppressing appetite...probably because it tastes so nasty. I use it in pill form to help with bloating and upset stomach. It has helped with my bloating IMMENSELY. I had so many stomach issues, a cup of water would bloat me like crazy and I'd have to unbutton my pants! I find it also makes…

What is the bizzy plan people are referring to? im lost. lol!

I haven't decided yet. the 6 day a week at the gym thing has been super hard for me. I don't have a job where I have a whole lot of time, so it's more like 5 days a week, but I am going to stick with a regimented program doing different body groups similar to Live Fit. I think I will probably design my own program around 5…

It seems like it has happened to all of us at some point since starting the program. feel better!

Is everyone just "feeling" puffy?Or is the scale actually going up? Cause..my scale is going WAY UP! lol!!! I am not too worried about it, but...if it keeps going up I'll start to really flip my ish.

I agree with some things about it but not others, sure if it fits My macros i can have a venti frappuccino and a Krispy cream glazed,however my workout that night will automatically suck. When I ate crap here and there and spinned, for example, I was the slowest in the class, now that I eat well and often and leave out the…

A lot of these posts are funny. Yes it depends on the gym and the actual trainer. Just like there are some people that are great at the their jobs and some people are horrible. It's the same with PT...some are just plain crappy and don't know what they're doing. If you've never been to a gym before, I would specifically…

Phase 2 has been an *kitten* kicker because of time contraints. I'm not as good at getting the cardio in, but i make SURE to get my weights in! I'd rather sacrifice my cardio for strength. lol. It was also an *kitten* kicker diet-wise...I'm gonna go ahead and blame hormones for this one. I gained all the weight back...in…

Love back extensions also! I had a rough week 5 with diet...I'm just going to go ahead and blame it on hormones. I was moody, ate a lot and ate bad. But, I'm back at it..hard for week 6. I have had to switch around the order of my workouts slightly due to having a different rest day, so I started off week 6 with…

week 5 ...whoops!

I recommend this one. http://www.amazon.com/KT-Synthetic-Elastic-Kinesiology-Therapeutic/dp/B006EPM74W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359657530&sr=8-1&keywords=KT+tape It's sticky..doesn't come off easily and you can wear it for days. shave your legs and don't use lotion;) They're stretchy so they don't unstick easily. You may…

I got told I have nice abs last monday. That was RIGHT after completing phase 1. I guess I was proud of that, but I do NOT in any way feel like I have abs. Maybe first thing in the morning before food, but definitely not by 6 in the evening! lol

I have only made the lemon protein bars so far and they were delish!!

You did it right! I always add weight for negatives, but I have a partner.

I seriously died laughing when watching the donkey calf raises video. Then I had to grab my bf to do a re-inactment. Seems a bit "sexual" for the gym. haha! Plus...I weigh 140 pounds..how the hell am I gonna find some chick around 100 pounds or LESS to jump on my back?? no thanks. Weird. I did leg press calf. Much more…

KT Tape. You can buy it online and at Sports Authority. It's expensive but works WONDERS! I swear. Puts my knee brace to shame. i had knee issues from a past injury and sometimes it hurts depending on weather, number of leg days, etc. Also, double check your squat form, but you probably already know this! I KNOW that I…

I too am not following it. I didn't feel like I could eat like that "forever". I'm cooking the foods I like, but really clean. I feel like I can sustain this type of eating forever. I tried to do the "lean chicken" for practically every meal a few years back and now I can hardly stomach chicken anymore:(

Thanks!

I swear by my BCAA.. no sugar either! I use a powder and don't use the one jamie suggested because I had already found one I really like. I use Xtend. I think it's grape explosion (doesn't actually taste like grapes.

Wow! How long did today's workout take!? lol! I didn't realize until you said it, that I guess I'm a day away from finishing phase one!

I have had to double up the workouts this week because of my vaca but doubling up means 90 mins in the gym at rush hour! I don't have option of early morning workouts. I think I decided I'm not going to stress about week five being done IN week 5 so much and just keep on moving ahead in order. If I get a little behind,…

Holy cow..I didn't realize phases two and three were so long! I'm gonna have to figure that one out!
