Oatmeal with vanilla protein powder and berries mixed in.

Love it! I just found key lime flavor at Target. You wouldn't think it would be much different than the original lime, but oh my god, it is so good!

I love ezekiel. It's different from other breads, definitely, but that is why I like it. It doesn't trigger me to snack on, its filling, and great from a nutritional standpoint. I buy frozen, and stick the loaf in the fridge when we need it. Lightly toast for a few minutes to improve the texture.

I'd recommend checking out the book Brain Over Binge

I restarted my phone and it synced right away.

Today is: Squat 5x5@70 OHP 5x5@47 DL 1x5@115

I'm going to jump in! Today was: Squat 5x5@65 Bench 5x5@52 Row 5x5@75 I'm in my 3rd (I believe?) week of stronglifts and I'm loving it so far!

I'd love to join, as well!

Any spots left? I've never done a challenge, but I'm getting married Sept 28, so this may be the kick in the butt I need!! Add me please :)

Every week, I browse the Internet for new low calorie recipes. I have a huge database of them (Pinterest has been a great tool for this purpose) and I go through and pick which meals I will make the following week. I fill out a weekly calendar with what meals I will have each day, detailed down to snacks ( I don't get as…

Pasta carbonara and a side of green beans!

I am getting married at the end of September, and we are going to start trying soon after! I have lost 45 lbs so far, and need to lose about 45 more to feel like I am healthy enough for pregnancy! Fingers crossed, I will have less than 20 to lose after we get married so we can get our little family going!! :) This is…

My fiancé pulled something in his abdomen, so he needs to take it easy for a few weeks, so I've lost my workout buddy, too! Only a handful more workouts though.

Bump!

When I was in college, my friend had told me about this group of boys her boyfriend hung around with that, when they saw an overweight person anywhere, they would "call" them, or "get dibs" on them by yelling "MY TEAM!" It was a stupid, immature game they got a huge kick out of. When she told me, I couldn't believe how…

A girl you thought was much bigger than you says "like 5 people came up to me today at the library thinking I was you!" You have a panic attack when your boyfriend tries to pick you up. You don't want to wear your hair down because you hate how your neck looks. Get asked if your pregnant 3 times in a month. Your legs ache…

Cinnamon and stevia most days, but if I have spare calories I add a banana or blackberries instead. And I've just started pouring a little of my morning coffee into the oatmeal. Mmmmm :)

Thank you both! I'm going to give it a shot!

That's a bummer about your workout buddy! You're not on your own, we're all fighting the fight together. I slacked for a few days last week, only got I believe 3 of the workouts in, but its not so bad once you get back in the routine. I have one week left! Keep us updated.

My new favorite thread! It's so nice to read one that is interesting, educational, and not full of arguing.

My results are great so far! I've lost... 17 lbs 1 inch on neck 4 inches on waist 4 inches on hips 3.25 inches on bust 2.25 inches on thighs .5 inch on knee .75 inches on calves 1 inch on forearm 1.5 inches on upper arm I'm not using the diet plan, just making my own healthy choices. Good luck, just stick with it, you got…

Good info! Thanks

Don't be scared for month 2. Yes, the workouts are longer, but in my opinion, they aren't really much higher intensity. Don't get me wrong...I'm completely spent at the end of each and every workout, but I also feel like I get a much better workout! It is a lot more upper body work than month 1, though. You will do great!…

Thank you both so much! It's going to take a little trial and error, but I'll get the hang of it :)

Thank you! All of the info can get pretty overwhelming. This is exactly what I need.. Love it!

Me, me, me! If I can just break through this dang stall...

I'm in week 2 of month 2. Believe me, I can't keep the pace they do on the video, but I just do the most I can, and my endurance has gone way up. I take less breaks now, as I realized it is probably more effective for me to do the movements at a slightly slower pace than to burn myself out after a few seconds. You are on…

Week one of month two complete! I'm just as sore as the beginning of month one! It feels so good :) ready for my t-shirt!

Late September/early October bride here! I would be over the moon if I could lose 40 lbs by then...but that's a pretty steep goal. I found that looking at my ring during a hard workout gives me instant motivation to push just a little harder! :wink: I'm getting my dress next month and I'm so nervous about that!
