  • Just look for more high protein foods, lean meats, greek yogurt, eggs, etc. If I have a question like that I usually google it. Good luck on your journey.
  • Wow that's amazing. Great job, you are an inspiration.

  • Love all these stories, everyone should be proud of themselves. Mine is I bought a new pair of jeans last night, size 10, down from a 14, and I did 10 regular push ups during my workout.
  • That is awesome, yay for you. That is something to be really proud of and i'm sure you rocked that bikini

  • I have what I call hungry days. I try to eat healthy 6 days a week, but a few times a month, it seems like I can't get satisfied. I drink water, and try to eat something higher in protein, but what usually does it is something a little higher in fat. I find better success when I have a day a week where I eat a meal that is…
  • That's great keep up the good work.
  • I think that most people probably feel self-conscious, so you're not alone. Maybe try going and just do one or two things to start and get a feel for the gym. Sometimes when I go there are young guys lifting and grunting, I just go and do my thing. I have found they are very polite and are more interested in looking at…
  • Way to go so far. I went on www.scoobyworkshop.com, I found that website very informative and helpful. I know all this info is very confusing. I think you're doing a great job losing weight, and if you find what works, use it. As far as being tired some days, it's probably not enough food. I find a higher protein diet…
  • WOW!!!! Congratulations, you look fantastic. You are a great inspiration to all, thanks for sharing.

  • You can do this, everyone has bad times, or days when they fall off the wagon. The main thing is you get back on track. You know what to do, because you have lost weight already. I know how hard it is to keep at it. I have been battling the same 50 pounds for years, and have finally buckled down and been losing steadily…
  • I tried water and yuk, I didn't like it, so I now use almond milk and it's delicious. You can also use almond milk, and some ice cubes to make a "milk shake" it's very tasty
  • That is so great you should be very proud of yourself
  • Great job, I just started 30 day shred and can't wait to do my after pics so I can see my results. Keep up the great work
  • I started two days ago, and I like the fact you're done in 20 minutes. I am not doing her meal plan, just sticking to my calories on MFP. My thighs are a bit sore. I started this to mix up my workout. I am still going to the gym also. Good luck to eveyone doing this. I think you are all awesome for trying to get into…
  • Great job, I also like seeing the success stories and pictures. You are doing awesome, keep up the great work.
  • Great job, keep up the good work. You should be really proud of yourself this is a great accomplishment
  • I have never taken any vitamins or supplements and have always been very healthy. I recently found this website, which I found very interesting. www.scoobysworkshop.com. He talks about vitamins and supplements.
  • One of our trainers at my gym recently did one and he also said pull ups, because you need alot of upper body strength. Good luck on your training.
  • I recently tried the skinny cow brand of ice cream, and I think it tastes very good. Good luck to you
  • It's great you have started your weight loss again. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Don't look at it as a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I know from experience it is very hard to change habits, but you have started, so keep at it. Celebrate your victories and don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. Find what…
  • Try this website fat2fitradio.com, it has all kinds of calculators for how many calories you should be eating. My calorie recommendation is 1200, but I eat back my exercise calories, and I see to lose better when I go over a little. When I used fat2fitradio.com it told me I should be eating more calories. once I started…
  • Johnsonville are very good. In my area we have Giant Eagle grocery stores and they have a brand called al fresco, which are delicious. I love to grill them, slice and have on a salad. Good luck
  • I've read it's best to have some kind of protein within a half hour of your workout, so I usually do my protein shake after my workout. I use a whey protein powder mixed with almond milk.
  • I did this challenge, and when I got to the higher reps, I broke them up by 50-75 at a time with 30-60 rest in between. I could definitely see a difference, but still have 35-40 pounds to lose. Biggest difference is a lift in my rear and more definition in my thighs, for someone over 50 this is huge. I did this in addition…
