Type less. Exercise more.

I don't really 'hate' any Crossfit moves although there are several I'm terrible at and some I can't do at all (muscle-ups, pistols and others). There are others I simply refuse to do and choose to adapt to protect myself from injury. For example, I haven't bothered to learn kipping pulls-ups because I think the risk of…

Nothing to add. Just happy to see more women lifting!

this looks fun

I practice 5 minutes about 3 times a week and my progress has been consistent. I don't WOD with them so there is no mental pressure. Some days are better than others but the key thing is I am progressing. The 'secret' is the same as anything else - consistent practice.

Yep - P90X trained me to do it. Toughest part for me is my bare feet feel like they are going to slide out from under me.

I used to put my jar on the scale, set it to zero then see how much PB I remove. BTW, now I don't count cals and feel fitter than ever.

I'm a big fan of Murph because you don't need equipment and it was by first hero WOD.

I just PR'd on a treadmill at 20:31 and decided I will never come close to those records. Amazing!

What is the record? I'm 43 : )

April 2013: 21:56 Last week on treadmill 21:18 and I'm working on improving as I train for the Austin 1/2 Marathon in February.

Totally agree with this comment. It's magical tape. I never notice how much it helps until I pull it off for being ratty-looking. Afterwards I regret not having it on.

I used to use a HRM but I really don't track my calories anymore. If you really want to get an accurate reading get a heart rate monitor.

Welcome to the Jungle

I just completed Day 40 of this program and can absolutely state it works!

Certain states require restaurants to post on their menus. In California. I've seen many fast food places with the nute info on the menus. I was blown away by the calories at Sonic.

Wow some great comments here. I'm opening a smoothie shop in the Dallas area and will be taking all your comments into consideration. If anyone is interested check out Facebook.com/KamaganaSmoothies. LIKE our page and post your favorite smoothie ideas.

Did this while I was visiting Vienna a few weeks back and it kicked my *kitten*! 8:10 with only 65# on BB and using bands on the pull-ups. Loved it, though!

I usually continue to drink water from my bottle AFTER my protein drink which gets all the protein out of the nooks and crannies.

I like the loud music and camaraderie at the CrossFit boxes I've been to but I don't think I would pay for a membership Fortunately, my job involves travelling and I've had the chance to drop in to workout in Vienna, Brazil and across the US. I recognize that Crossfit has the potential to be dangerous. I consider myself to…

Whether Lbs or Kgs - make sure they're low carb weights

I think this sounds better than it actually is. Simultaneous waffling can create jealousy issues.

I gotta be honest, I'm amazed at how many beautiful women on this thread aren't getting their waffles. Baffling!!

I generally fall asleep right after waff.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Kudos on your accomplishments so far. I tend to agree with those suggesting your calorie intake is too low. If you have been doing P90 (not P90X) for a long time then your body may be used to that workout/intensity. However, 2 weeks is not a long time. You may want to intersperse other workout routine to supplement P90 -…

I love female ice cream eaters

I was a newbie in Jan 2011 so, YES, I CAN poop on people. If they are still around in May I'll apologize to all (both of) them : ) **why did MFP edit my original word for poop??

I posted some comments, as did others. My point is that the math can be overwhelming but the common sense suggestions about eliminating sugary drinks and processed foods are easier to understand and follow.

Ignore ALL the math advice and focus on the NUTRITIONAL advice. Exercise and eat RIGHT. You will lose weight. Period.
