Hello everyone, Just saw this thread and I'd like to join. Aiming for 50 miles as I haven't run regularly or with purpose for quite some time, but I'm hoping this challenge will help change that! 6- 3.25 mi

Greater London here, feel free to add :smile:

good one :D

One of the reasons I started overeating is that I started getting unwanted male attention at the age of 13/14. It made me very uncomfortable and I didn't know how else to deal with it than to eat and eat and eat and get fat so that it would go away. It worked.

You look amazing! Enjoy Crossfit :)

Going to go check out the 'Eat, train, progress' forum now. Your results are amazing cowgirl. Thanks for your input. I really struggle with the protein intake and need to get that in check. I always find with Gap jeans, you need to buy a size smaller as they stretch once you put them on. Its frustrating though especially…

Jeez, I take one day off MFP and I miss all this gold! There's nothing more entertaining than MFP, thanks op :)

I just had to look over my shoulder and make sure no one was there to witness my drooling! Luckily, hubby and kids didn't notice anything but I feel a little dirty... I may need a shower, a COLD shower.

Thanks for the info Beeps. I might invest in VI for Christmas and make it 2014's workout.

Hiya ladies, I am halfway through S5 and am starting to think about where I want to be going after I've finished NRs. I have been looking at Abs and Supercharged. I have also been looking at the Venus Index, however I'm not too sure yet. I've seen after pictures and the results look amazing but the video presentation is…

Hello, how are you all doing? Just back from 5A2 and the way I see it, I've got 2 BWMs down and only 2 more to go! I can't wait to be done with them. Happy Monday wherever you are.

Hiya ladies, Just finished 5B1. If I'm honest, I don't feel like I've worked today. Barely got a sweat on my warm-up or on the interval training and I was pushing it. I did increase my weights on everything except the YTWL's. Started with 6 kg dumbbells, dropped to 5kgs on the 2nd and 3rd, but by the fourth set I was on…

Hello again, Just finished Stage 4 today (yes!) and am taking friday off before starting S5 next Monday (7/10). I have to take a forced week off end of October hence why I'm not taking a rest week now. I had a quick look at the book and was horrified to see 120s planks and the BWM both in the same workout! I think I'm…

Hi all, finished S4 today! I feel super strong, here are my stats: Wide-grip deadlift from box : 50kg Bulgarian split squat: 10kg Wide-grip lat pulldowns: 15 (not sure what unit that is but its the hightest amount of weight on the machine) Reverse lunge with forward reach: 20kg (2x10kg) Prone-cuban snatch: 10 kg (2x5kg)…

Hiya! Just checking in. Just dusted off 4B3 so only two more workouts of S4 left. I had my first grip problem today on the wide-grip deadlift from a box. I don't think I want gloves but need to figure out how to strengthen my grip. Anyone have suggestions of what worked for them?

Hi Savinoca. If it were me, I'd move on to Stage 2 and just continue working on the push-ups. Just do as many as you can on the floor and finish off the set on the bar until you can do them all on the floor. I think you'll be there real soon as you're so close! And as you get stronger, the push-ups will get easier. And…

I'd love to join. I've been lifting since May this year and am still playing around with my calorie intake. Haven't quite found what works for me yet. I probably eat around 1800 cals. I eat back all my exercise calories, but I would love to eat 2000+ calories a day and still lose! Hoping to maybe glean some insight from…

OMG! Someone needs to tell your neighbor to shut up and 'woman up'!!!! I too love weightlifting and i always think that the best part is the feeling confident part! Nice to show your neighbor, maybe she'll have a healthy dose of respect for you now and not come tearing out of her house yelling at you :) ~ Katia

Haha! Carrie Bradshaw whilst interval training, that sounds like a good distraction! Are we supposed to be increasing the length of the interval training? I need to go reread the book. I can run outside forever but on a treadmill, 15 minutes is enough to want to end it! Having read your post Mouse_Potato, I think maybe I'm…

Lol! Hope you managed to do it up! I sometimes have trouble walking home when legs feel like jelly, especially in S3 after the BWM. Its been so bad on a few occassions, that I felt like people were staring at me because I looked like I'd been hitting the drink. The things we do hey?!

Hi, just started S4 this week. I almost died on Monday doing the 120s planks! Tomorrow I'll be doing B1. I am not looking forwards to the interval training portion bleurgh. What keeps you going on those intervals? I need motivation. ~Katia

@courtniemarie, wow, 120 second planks! Is that part of S5? I thought I was being a badass by doing just the 90 second planks! Haven't really had a good look at S4 and S5, are there new workouts or are they pretty much harder versions of things we've already seen? My gym decided to shut from Tuesday to Thursday this week…

@marinesweetheart, that's cool! Let me know how you find it. Just back from completing 3A1. The BWM... OMG! I had so much lactic acid going on that it was a struggle to finish it. The first round I did in 3:31 and the second in 3:09. I was a bit 'cocky' and thought I could do it in about 2:30, well wasn't I wrong! I will…

Originally from Quebec City but living in the Berks, UK. Poutine anyone?

Starting S3 on Monday and I am so excited! Going to go check out the posting history for Stage 3 now to see what you lovely ladies thought of it :)

Hehe he! Welcome to Stage 2! I still don't get how A is so short and sweet and B is long and painful but hey ho, I'm no professional. I am wrapping up B4 this morning and taking friday off before I start S3 on Monday. Good luck to you all x

Thanks wibutterflyma, I needed to hear that! I am certainly feeling less jiggly since starting NRs but the fact that the jeans I bought in January don't fit anymore is devastating me! Stage 2 is really kickin' my booty! Did B2 yesterday and I feel so tired today. I need to keep working on upping the protein but I find it…

Thanks PBsMommy! Did you find you had significant changes in Stage 2? I have put on inches in places I didn't want to during Stage 1 and am hoping that Stage 2 will help take them off.

When you're running on the treadmill, are you increasing the gradient to at least 1%? This is to simulate uneven surfaces and does help your legs, especially if you're always on the treadmill. My 2 cents is to ditch the treadmill and run outside if possible. Completely different and more rewarding experience! Good luck,…
