24 for 3 more weeks!

There's so many good ones! Bump!!!

I'm 24 and have used MFP throughout my 20's to pull me back to reality of what I'm putting in my body. As you use this tool with your workouts I think you become more aware naturally of `your body, what you need to feel good/healthy, and what works for you.

I like how fast we move through the exercises in Cardio 2. Yesterday was my first day and I loved how David got the spotlight! He cracks me up for some reason so I can't help but be motivated to go hard. I hate burpees. More than the suicides. But only have to do a minute 30 in total so I'm trying not to complain :)…

I'm in week 5 - workouts 5, 6 and Cardio 2. I've been getting my tush kicked this week. I'm exhausted after the workout. I've been sore all week long. Phase 2 is intense! I haven't taken measurements yet. I should though. I can tell my muscles are feeling it between the soreness and my weight bounced up a pound/half aka…

I'm in the same boat as you both. Started workout 5 and was miserable. I started to get the hang of it more the 2nd time around but not the much. I'm 5'9 so I always feel like the green cable isn't long enough for me to actually use. I wish I had gotten their black pretty ones. I previewed workout 6 and was glad to see…

I just got the polar ft4 on amazon (popular choice clearly lol) on there both the ft4 and ft7 were under $80. You can go to polar's website to see the differences between the two.

I start phase 2 on monday and am highly encouraged by how positively it has been received by you all. LOL I will do my preview tomorrow night to prepare mentally and remember all of your comments as motivation as I'm dying on my living room floor monday morning lol.

Muscle and fat actually weigh the same. When you build muscle you begin to have water retention from the muscles repairing themselves and so forth. There's lots of good posts explaining away this myth on mfp for those who are curious. They all have links and so forth. It may be worth looking into for some. But that's…

omg! Yum!!

Ditto! I typically preview most of the upcoming week on Sunday...maybe it's better to not know :laugh:

My favorites so far are the Banana Blueberry Muffins, Beef and Broccoli sitr fry, almond chicken, Spinach Leo, Southwest Turkey Burgers and the poached chicken with vegetable soup.

bump for when that craving hits

Week 3 is completed! I just went and bought heavier weights so week 4 looks like it shall be real serious. I'll be whining and complaining about how sore my arms and back are I'm sure! But I welcome it in a twisted way :) My new HRM should come in the mail Monday or Tuesday so I'm really excited for that. I'll be able to…

I just finished Week 3 today. When I did workout 3 on Monday for the first time, it was harder than day 1 with workout 1. I felt nauseous and so winded. But even by Thurs it had gotten easier. I just went and bought heavier weights today so we'll see what I think Monday when I do it again!!

I've been using the calculator on here but I just ordered a polar ft4 from amazon yesterday and got my email today that it shipped. Got it cheaper online than in store at some local spots near me. I'm excited to finally get one.

I had my monthly visit from tom at the start of my 3rd week as well. I worked out through it as usual at my normal 5:30am time. I think it helped actually. I didn't feel as run down as I normally do during tom's visits.

Curious - have you been following her meal plan?

So I have to add one because I meant to yesterday but forgot. In workout 4 you have to do butt kicks - for those who have done Jillian's dvds before, this move is nothing new nor surprising. However! Yesterday was the FIRST time in over a year of doing different JIllian Michaels dvds that I could actually kick my own butt.…

So since today was cardio day I obviously made it through workouts 3 & 4. I really really love 4 too Daisy80! I'm feeling it today. Well I think I'm feeling the combination of both since I'm sore in "front" and "back" part of the body. But I'm really excited that week 3 & 4 are more challenging now. I can feel changes more…

TOM is upon me and yesterday was not a great day for me either. I actually bought donuts when I ran into the store to buy carrots, fruit and more bread...oops. But honestly. It is life and for me the longer I try to deny myself something - the more I want it and the uglier I'll get until that craving is met. I take a not…

You look so great!!! Definitely a reality check for those who seem to get sucked into the powerful grasp of those digital numbers on that torture device you refer to. I love everything about this thread and thanks for sharing your calorie intake too. Puts things into perspective! Thank you and good luck on the rest of your…

I start Week 3 tomorrow :) Feel free to add me!

Getting close to the end of week 2 here. Said goodbye to Workout 1 today. I've really enjoyed all 3 of the dvds during this first half of phase 1. I'm nervous for next week though as well. I've heard she ups the intensity a lot. I welcome it a bit as I've only been extremely sore (Jillian typical as I call it) once, this…

Jordin Sparks after her weight loss. Very similar body type to me. J-woww after her toning up. I freaking love Robin Roberts! She is a motivation every morning!
