Bump!

Ok. Thanks for the input!

Bump!

You guys are all so great! Thanks for the kind words :) I can't wait to make my goal and this time around I'm not doing some crappy diet or having 300 calories a day. I'm actually eating what I should be eating and doing Kosama (like a bootcamp) every morning. I feel so amazing and having you guys be so positive is a great…

Thank you so much! :)

This was a great read! Thanks for the post!

Thank you! I will take my measurements tonight! We measured when the program began and I copied all my information down to take home with me. Hopefully that will tell me whether or not it's working! I appreciate the advice :)

I'm not sure how big it is, he didn't tell me that part. :) Thanks for the advice!

Thank you that's very helpful! Any idea how long and how high of a temperature?

Well it's nice to know I'm not alone! I thought working out in the morning would make me wired during the day, but it's funny how much it has calmed me!

Thank you for this random motivational post! It was exactly what I needed to hear (read). :) Have a fabulous day!

I get up at 4:30 am to head for the gym for my workouts. I just grab a protein bar and eat it on the way. I didn't for the first week and I just didn't feel like I was giving my all at my workouts. Now that I have a little something in my stomach, it seems to help my energy. Although, I have found it's also something to…

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me! I will try the 2,260 and see how I feel and what my results are.

I did notice on my first couple of days at Kosama that I was very weak, which is the reason I bumped it up in the first place. I had moved it up to 1500 and was feeling better but then I saw a post on here about using the Fat to Fit site to calculate how many you should have so I tried it. It just seems like such an insane…

Burpees and Kosamies. I think Kosamies is just something my gym created, since it's Kosama. haha. It's like a burpee but when you get down into plank position you jump your legs out, then jump them back in and do a push up, then jump them back out AGAIN then come back up. INSANE.

I didn't use to eat out before my morning workouts, but I was told by one of my coaches at Kosama that you should have at least something in your stomach before working out. I have found (this is my first week eating before working out) that I do feel like I have more energy when I eat before, but I just have a protein bar…

Isn't that the best feeling?! The crap that I use to eat now just doesn't even sound good when I realize all of the healthy food I could have in place of one tiny thing. There are still times I crave things like that, but honestly, it changes your point of view when you actually start reading what is in the food you are…

Thank you so much for posting this. I eat about 1500 calories a day and do Kosama in the mornings. I know that it's going to take some time but after trying to stay at a 1200 calorie diet and being miserable and starving all the time, I'm very happy at my 1500. Im not starving anymore and I feel that I have the fuel I need…

I actually cut a slit in the tops of my yogurts and put a plastic stir stick in them and freeze them. It takes a lot longer to eat than a popsicle and tastes fabulous!

I actually buy my tan in a can :) It's a spray tan from Banana Boat. It's fabulous! You just spray it on and your tan develops over like 24 hours. You can build as deep a color as you want and it's like $7 a bottle.

I found this very interesting. Thank you for posting it!

That is fantastic!! I'm starting Kosama next week and hope I have as good of results as you have!

That is fantastic Dennis! I'm so excited but very scared. I need to lose at least one size before May for the bridesmaid's dress I ordered two sizes too small as motivation. haha. What location do you go to? Do you do the early classes? Thanks for the tips, that will definitely help!

*Bump* There's no Kosamies out there?

That's a fantastic feeling! I'm so happy for you!

I just made the decision to go organic and found these drinks at my local organic market. I just had my first one for lunch and LOVED it! I had the chocolate fudge one and it tasted just like chocolate milk! Not to mention, I normally have a pop right after lunch because I'm dragging so much and with my organic healthy…

I almost think it makes it worse that I go straight to school after work so I know I won't be able to eat again until at least 10:00 tonight and by then I will probably be too tired to think about calories. So it seems like my mind is telling me to eat up now so I don't get hungry in class.

Protein bar is a great idea! I can keep those in my desk and completely stay out of the kitchen. I just found a recipe on here today for some homemade ones so maybe that will be my new fix!

Thank you for the suggestions. I went to the kitchen and ate a banana, but you are right, it doesn't really fill the hole where the chocolate should go. haha. I have had the smart ones before and they are pretty good. Maybe I will try bringing in a few of those. For this afternoon I grabbed some salted almonds (I know they…

We have a cook that comes in to our office every day to make us lunch and she makes us snacks for the afternoon before she leaves and it's always cookies, cakes, brownies, etc. She sits them on the counter right next to the apples and oranges I asked her to pick up. It is SO HARD to walk into that kitchen and pick up an…
