  • As someone with PCOS, I know how challenging it is to lose weight but you've done an amazing job and are a real inspiration!
  • I have found the Pigeon Stretch helped relieve the pain over time. I do the Pigeon Stretch daily with one leg stacked a little higher than the other.
  • Hello everyone, my name is DJ. My goal is to lose 20lbs by June 15th. I work out three times per week but I'd like to increase it to 5 days for the challenge and consistently tracking and eating according to MFP recommendations is my nutrition goal. SW:223 CW:217 GW: 197 (Ultimate Goal Weight is 180).
  • Whole30 Round One Results (7lbs lost and 2" from my waist in 30 days)
  • I second the recommendation to try the Whole30 program. It has helped me identify which foods I'm sensitive too and which make me bloat and struggle to lose weight: grains, and too much dairy (I can have about 1 ounce of full fat cheese per day). The first week is rough because you are weaning your body off of processed…
  • 1. Ground turkey made with taco seasoning, low carb tortilla, lettuce, and salsa. 2. Spicy Shrimp Chili - Chili Powder, Canned Diced Tomatoes, Diced Green Chiles, Spicy Chili Beans (no meat) with 1 pound of shrimp. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and shrink. Have that over some brown rice and with…
  • What do your measurements look like? If your measurements are changing but the scale is staying the same, I wouldn't fret. However, if you are consistently eating 1200 and doing vigorous workouts, it sounds like your muscles are catabolizing (basically your muscles are breaking down from under-nourishment). You may have…
  • I'm currently in a weight loss challenge but it will end in mid-October and I will need all the accountability and motivation I can get once it ends. CW: 205 GW: 180
  • To me, the only thing that gives WW an advantage is the accountability of the weigh-in. Otherwise, you can learn good nutrition and maintenance anywhere for free. I also think ProPoints (UK) or PointsPlus (US) gears the program to people who never or rarely exercise. I refuse to eat cans of Progresso Light soup and call…
  • Zumba 2 has more variety of music and moves than the original. But the pace of 2 is much faster than 1. If you were doing the expert level on the first one, you probably need to start with moderate intensity on Zumba 2. I like the music and graphics in 2 much better but I've found the calorie feature pretty useless since I…
  • The pace in Exhilarate (apart from the Step by Step) is noticeably faster than the Transformation set. I like the music and graphics in Exhilarate better but there is a voice-over if you want instructions while working out which I find a bit weird.
  • Started at 213...Currently at 199.5...Goal is 170 which would put me into a size 8 which I haven't worn since high school.
  • I'm in! This is perfect because I'd love to lose 10 in time for my birthday next month!
  • C25K - Couch to 5K - It is a progressive running program that trains you to run a 5K (from being a couch potato).
