Nice work tvn4ds! Inches is WAY more important than weight! That means you're losing what we all want to lose, FAT! teemama2, its all good, we still have a little over 50 days to re-establish and re-focus on our habits! we got this

I can only imagine how much laughter Daisy is giving yall...especially since she has already learned the art of escaping...priceless! lol! Yeah, getting up and moving is hard if you're out of the groove but once you get it going, its the best. And your body will feel so much better, tighter, and fitter the more you do it.…

A person who takes 10k plus steps a day is considered active. Since you take even more steps than that outside of your other workout activities I would say you probably at LEAST need to set your settings to active, maybe even very active. I average anywhere between 12k-20k steps a day and a normal burn for those days are…

Believe me, I had a love/hate relationship with the scale. I put it up and focused only on measurements and how I feel and I have seen myself in a much more positive light! I am PRO-NO SCALE, lol! But there a BL competition at my job coming up and winning $250-$1250 is looking real nice!

LOL!!!! WOW Angel....we are going to need you to act your NAME, lolol!
-
AvalonsUnicor- sounds like a HANDFUL that you have to deal with coming up! I think you will do great in terms of your goals though, just keep what you want in mind and go for it! I'm sure there will be PLENTY opportunities to be some kind of active. But those dogs...now that's going to be crazy! lol AlexzKT - woohoo! I…

Hello Fit Fam!!! Welcome to the 3rd CHALLENGE!!! Here is the challenge for this week that comes from a lovely challenger: Try a new exercise for 3 days this week. Sometimes the key in staying consistent is ....wait for it......CHANGE! So spice up your routine by trying new things this week! Here are some examples of new…

You are doing AMAZING! I LOVE the goals and how you are sticking with them! Regardless of what that scale said, you are ROCKING it...TOTALLY! I have been ripping and running all week long. I am hoping it will slow down enough for me to get my double workouts in this weekend to complete this week's challenge.

I think if you want to do it, do it at your pace. You can either go cold turkey OR just start eliminating it meal by meal until you're comfortable. Eating a plant based diet is definitely beneficial in my opinion, but I don't exclude animal protein as of now. I believe that the meat we eat now are definitely more hazardous…

Ugh totally sucks sweetie...so sorry! Hopefully it will turn soon though. I mean its spring now...come on warmer weather!
-
@AvalonsUnicor - Totally sucks to be cold! I am so not a winter person anyway so I can only imagine the misery if I had to be in a cold apartment! Are you able to get a space heater, that helps me TREMENDOUSLY in my house! Rest and proper nutrient intake is so important in our journeys. I have found that when I eat enough…
-
That is AWESOME @yvonnejobin1!!! I am destined to have slip ups...sometimes more often than not...but the key to this thing is consistency...THAT is what leads to progress! Love your attitude about slip ups because its mine too! @AlexzKT - 4:30 am wake ups are NO JOKE so I completely understand that but its so awesome that…

Hello my lovelies! Sorry for posting this week's challenge so late but a sick child has kept me preoccupied for the last two days. So....without further a-do, here is this week's challenge: Weekly Challenge #2 Rev up your workout routine by completing a second workout in one day. Do this 3-5 times this week. Usually I…

Started reading...got bored...just my two cents...lol!

UGH!! Me and my sweets! I can never stay under 100 calories for them...NEVER! But it is helping me to not go overboard so I am aiming for no more than 100 but if I do 200-300 I'm not gonna have a baby...because I was easily doing 500-600...lol! It has cured my nightly ice cream habit!

Great job @Jeannieclark8!! I'm having a much better day too! Banana and pineapple for breakfast, grilled chicken ceasar salad for lunch, and crockpot hawaiin bbq chicken with asian salad for dinner!!! yummers! WELCOME @ALEXZKT!!! So glad you are joining! You are going to do so GREAT!!! Those are great goals too!
-
I don't mind at ALL! I'll either bring a book or just gaze at things and let my mind sort out all the things I have left to do that day or week or whatever.
-
Congrats to you BOTH! The struggle is REAL over here! I did really good this weekend but today I have had chinese AND donuts! totally not good! but one of the many things I have learned is that one day doesn't determine the future as long as I don't keep repeating that day's mistakes. Its over now so I will be making…
-
@Jeannieclark8: great job and great goals!! That's what its all about girlie! @Damarruda: I can attest to this fact...our bodies are amazingly complex and sometimes it might not respond to things the way we want them to depending on our hormones, stress levels, nutrient intake, caloric expenditure, etc. I am not a medical…
-
@mlerand62: AWESOME for logging exercise everyday! That is GREAT! I totally understand about the diet soda too..all soda bloats me and leads me off the well meaning path! @AvalonsUnicor: lol at seasonal depression!!! But good job on gearing up more and more stamina and endurance to hop on the Wii eventually! all exercise…

WORK WORK WORK! My job definitely has its crazy days and I am just getting a breather! Whew! @Jeannieclark8: nice goals!!! Snacking is big for me too but we got this! That’s a great snack choice too! @Chickee8586: yeah water is a hard one for me sometimes as well. I usually put a pack of sugar free drink mix in about 32 oz…

Welcome to the first challenge!!! Motivation is high, goals are set, and we are ready to make this thing go the whole way. So with that said, here is this week's challenge: Weekly Challenge #1 Log all food, candy, soda, water, etc. Knowing is half the battle and when we know what we are putting in our bodies and how it's…

Great tips guys! Keep em coming! Another tip is to use the crockpot for meals. I find that I can throw some chicken and salsa in there and I have my meal prep done for lunch and dinner for two days. I have read you can even put a young hen/chicken in there as well! I want to try that soon. But I know having some meals done…
-
Welcome to ALL! You guys have such great, achievable goals set for yourselves!!! Just taking this step is proof that you GOT THIS! As the journey continues I will be excited to see the many changes that we experience. I hope we all learn and grow together and from each other. Have an AWESOME weekend! And keep those goals…

Well...the first temptation has been administered and I PASSED! I was going to reach for another piece of the chicken parmesan I made for dinner and looked at the clock...it was 930...1.5 hours after my cutoff. Of course at first my mind said, 'Its ok, no one will know.' But that's a lie, I would know, and then what kind…

This is so old school but it helps me so much...I drink 8-16 oz of water first when I have a craving. It gets me full and I realize I am not AS hungry as I thought I was! And if I still want something after guzzling...well I may indulge a TAD and that's it...more water afterwards.
-
Woohoo! So glad to see you all on board! I am SO excited! I am doing pretty good so far today. I know we just started but its all good...we got this!

You've been doing stronglifts for 3.5 months and you are still at the recommended starting weight for the beginning of the program? Where did you start from originally in your lifts? Light weights for low reps won't cause the change you want in your body unless your LBM was EXTREMELY low to begin with. The awesome thing…
