Thanks for the tips. I do lift twice a week (and do around 100 squats a week, different variations to keep my muscles working), and do hot vinyasa twice a week and engage my core about 30 minutes out of the hour. I had to cut down on my workouts because I was losing about 1lb a week and 1inch a month and I am getting…

Hi ladies! Im getting married May 31, so soon! I moved a couple of months ago and regained all of my weight but I have been kicking my butt into gear since January, feel free to add me! SW - 149 CW - 140 GW - 135 to 130 (I think ill decide when I get there if Im happy at 135) :D

@Libby - I wont be making any drastic changes, but I plan on trying to eat a breakfast high in fiber to keep me full. I am also planning on making sure I drink more water. I've also been trying to swap desserts with healthy snacks and a small chocolate. Rather than going to DQ and getting an ice cream cone, I go for a…

I've heard that if you lose weight quickly like that, and you were relatively active, it's actually easier to lose it than before! :) Good luck (i'm sure you'll do great)!

Thanks! I'm just worried my workout routine may not be what will get me there.

This same thing happens to me! There are 60 cal no sugar added chocolate puddings/jello that arnt too bad as well as some 10 cal no sugar added jello, these are my go-to's when I get a sugar craving

When people used to say this to me, I said it was because I was just taking care of me, my education, my career, etc. I think its one of the most important things to do when you're not in a relationship, find who YOU are. Too many people get into a relationship without knowing themselves. I made this mistake time and time…

There really isnt any problem/need to worry if you're going over on protein. I dont know how much over you're going, but as long as you arnt doubling it I think youll be fine. As a rule multiply your weight x .4 and thats how many grams of protein you should have to maintain a healthy body, and thats without addl. workouts…

Soaking it in lemon juice for a while before you cook it will also help it to stay moist, then add some thyme, salt, pepper and garlic and mmmm mmm! Cook at 350 for anywhere between 15-20min!

Instead of focusing on how much your legs burn, try to focus on keeping your arms moving correctly. Your arms will help you keep a good stride, and make sure youre doing it right it will actually make you faster :P! (I used to think I knew the correct way until my track coach explained to me I was doing it all wrong, dont…

Bump! Anyone?

WOW! I never thought I would get so much awesome feedback, its so motivational to see how much hard work and dedication you guys put in and stick with it (even if you arnt losing it as fast as you want!) I have a very curvy body figure and I've always thought that being "bigger" was just something I was going to have to…

LOVE the hamburger reference. I might even have to share it with some friends :P So cute!

Wow, all of your results are incredible! It totally makes me feel bad about how little ive lost over the last month and a half! I notice inches gone too though, so I am sure that counts for something... right?

hahah cute. Also, mmmm cheezits. Those have been in my food log for the past two weeks, I can not resist the hot n spicy ones! Although, I do NOT recommend eating them before a work out or even anywhere close.. I pretty much felt my poor insides burning. Personally, while I am young, I want to eat all the yummy crap I can…

I would have to say eating out, and only because its incredibly easy to go all out and eat over a days worth of calories in a one hour sitting. Yes, I still get fast food, but I am fully aware of what I put in my belly ahead of time! Otherwise, I would really only say I try to make myself more aware of the bad foods im…

For me, it showed me I wasnt eating ENOUGH. I always thought I was eating too much so I wouldnt eat after a certain point, when in all reality I had only snacked on a bunch of sweets and so my sugar was over but I was only at 800 calories a day. Which is no bueno trying to lose weight. I think it goes both ways, it also…

This. That's a 12min mile.. Im not saying it cant be done but if you really are its impressive. Maybe you need to try sprints instead? Also, consider getting a HRM if you dont already have one.. maybe youre never getting it up high enough to burn fat? Otherwise if none of that stuff is working I have to imagine you have…

I felt the same way, but I think its because theres less full body exercises (besides the plank exercises). Get ready though, I just did RI30 Week 3 Day 1.. and it kicked my butt. It might be because I ran a mile before and my legs were already on fire, but it feels like she actually sped things up. She jumps straight into…

Just completed RI30 Week 2 today! Its taking me a little longer because I am doing addl days of cardio/strength and trying to do 5 days of each weekly workout. Week 2 reaaaally hurt my wrists and I almost stopped but I told myself to stop being a cry baby! I've lost 2lbs so far in the last 3 weeks and on Sunday I am…

This happens to me when I start working out, although after a while your body should get more accustomed to it. I use a bunch of different Neutrogena products. Try one of their deep scrub products, and their clear/pore cleanser mask at night. I also use their three-step process once a day (in the morning) and in just a…

you look INCREDIBLE! You should be SO proud of yourself! And buy more sexy dresses girl, you look damn good in them!

The easiest way I can think of to burn 77 calories is doing 150 jumping jacks. Every 100 is 50 calories burned, so.. maybe even do 300 and feel super good about yourself! It takes all of 5-10min. :D

I looove Neutrogen's Deep Clean Gentle Scrub and Neutrogena's Clean Pore Mask/Moisturizer. :D

Same here! I just sat down with some 100 calorie muscle milk! She totally kicked my butt, I had to take a one minute break (I walked around to get my heart rate down) inbetween cardio and abs in the second circuit and right before cardio in the third circuit. Holy cow!

I went out and bought RI30 and 3lb weights (I only had 10lbs and I thought thatd be a bit much :P )! Wooohoo! :D I think I am going to start it tomorrow or maybe I will wait until Jun 1, IDK! Feel free to ADD me so we can support each other!!!

Awesome! Thanks for the advice!

I'm 5'6 1/2 and im currently 150lbs, GW is anywhere between 130-140.

This. I have no idea why but my upper leg hair just does not grow. Maybe its because I dont shave it as often but I literally shave it once a month and you can barely even see anything before I shave it again.

I've noticed a lot of talk about how great these video's are. Im looking into buying some (since p90x is so exp. and takes FOREVER) videos. Which one's would you recommend? I've just recently started working out (Week 2!) so I am still a bit of a newbie when it comes to this stuff. I found some at walmart for like $7,…
