Welcome aboard - feel free to add me too!!

I use the Nectar protein powder. It's so simple - one scoop with 8oz of skim milk is a great protein souce and meal replacement or after workout restore. There are dozens of flavors to chose from and they have no carbs and only 100 calories. They actually taste great! It's a whey isolate - which is reportedly best for…

What is a skull crusher? That sounds interesting...and painful! LOL

Those are awesome workouts - I'll try to add those to my weekly routine since it's not weight training! Thanks so much for the tips!!

I do the military shoulder press, push ups (girlie kind), curls, bench press, peck-deck, tricep press (rope attachment), curls (rope attachment). I have tried the "sissy-bar" curl too. Sometimes I achieve muscle failure - but I get confused about the routine at that point. Do I stop? Do I lower the weight and continue? I…

I have asked my coworkers to exclude me from their eatings except on Fridays. If they know you're serious they will respect your choices. Bring your own food and eat it. The temptations that you give into (Like the cheese bagel) only make you have regrets - think now about how you're feeling and ask yourself (cuz only you…

How is everyone doing on the goals that were set for us this week?

LOL - Great minds!!

Have you tried the "Couch Potato to 5K" program? My friend and her husband are doing it and I have seen success with it. She suffered from shin splints after start (bad shoes) but she's back at it now and on week 3. I don't know about 57 - but I'm doing it at 44 - and yes, the body ain't what it used to be. Keep trying -…

Do you like yoga? (I personally hate it) - I hear it's great for balance and toning. I swapped Plyometrics for Yoga in my P90X routine - but got just as much (if not more) benefit from it. ~Cheers

iphone 4 is best for skyping. I just got mine and I love it - I can use the "swich" option on the picture app so I can see the picture I'm taking. My husband is going to the sandbox in August and he wants a 4 so he can skype with me when he finds wireless. :0) Good luck!

Beef Jerky is very good for low-carb snacking - and it's great protein. Avoid the flavored jerkys though. ~Cheers

If it's not too late I'd like to jump in! SW = 176 GW = 166 Thanks!

Only you can answer that question really. What are you expectations? If you are unhappy with a part of your body - then ask yourself what you want it to look like and work on it. Once you achieve success in that area - try another. Don't overwhelm yourself with perfection - as with any mountain - take it one step at a…

[/quote] I still do a good amount of cardio too- because I enjoy it if nothing else... lol I usually do a 5k on the treadmill- just part of my routine and then spend another hour with the weights. I have steadily increased the amount I am lifting... it is just a slow process and like everyone else- I want results like…

That picture is SO MUCH BETTER! I understand about the weight gain after quitting smoking. I think that's why I have yet to quit. (CRINGE) I'll get there - it's just not a priority at this moment. I am not a runner either - I try on the treadmill and periodically in the street, I just don't care for it. I use the…

Dani - I am very intimidated by your photo - I HATE snakes. I am very impressed with your ability to stop smoking. I have not been able to achieve that yet. I'm taking one battle at a time I guess. I have been on my journey since October and have recently started weight training and I really love it. I'd like to swap…

I take Nutrex Lipo 6 For Her (4 per day - 2 prior workout and 2 with lunch), MRM Smart Blend CLA/GLA Omega Fatty Acids (4 per day - same as Lipo 6) - both are fat burners and give me plenty of energy without the jitters. I live by my supplements - I take more (mostly a vitamin, 5-HTP, and Gingko Biloba). Its a lot - but…

HAHA - I guess I like the new stuff: Airplanes - Paramore Bad Romance - Lady GaGa Blow - Ke$ha Boom Boom Pow - The Blackeyed Peas Bottoms Up - Trey Songz Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz Club Can't Handle Me Right Now - Flo Rida E.T. - Katy Perry F*kin Perfect - Pink One The Floor - J-Lo Party Like A Rock Star - Shop Boyz…

Like most I stop 2 hours before bed - but I have no carbs after 4pm period. I'm usually hungry in the morning - but I don't wake up in the middle of the night needing food. I eat/drink a meal within 30 minutes of waking up to kick-start my metabolism. (Protein shakes are great for this!)

Its called the "Body Transformation Plan" - Its for females, over 40 who want to lose fat and build muscle. Not to recommend another site (because I like the trackers on this sight much better) but it's on bodybuilder.com. If you go there - click the "find a plan" and from there it will take you to the videos/workouts,…

I am following a program that requires I eat 10 calories X my body weight each day - I'm eating approximately 200-300 calories every 2-3 hours (except when sleeping). I burn between 600-1000 calories per day and have lost 40 lbs. What I have found is by eating more frequently my metabolism is on fire - plus I take a LOT of…

I have taught myself that there are "sometimes" foods (and that can be anything from sweets to lasagna). Moderation is key - I keep sugar free popsicles in the freezer at all times (and in this heat they really take off the edge). They are 15 calories - so have 2, why not? The other thing I think I read - if you are going…
