i read a trick somewhere that I use and it has heled me IMMENSELY. i do the recipe builder normally, weighing some ingredients like meat, reading labels for other like cans of beans and for vegetables i don't even usually write down. but then i put a bowl on my scale and tare it, and fill it with the meal. (if its a…

i'm not always so good at explaining names. one was the leg press machine where you sit at an angle and push it up. the rest were all arms, like the chest press machine (i think) laying back and pushing it up. also dumbell raises to the front, ones where i leaned on a incline bench forward and pulled my dangled arms up.…

yea my gym has classes like that, not that we've ever done 100 reps in them. i guess i'll ask him if he'd consider training me the way i want to, and if he says no i'll stop seeing him.

i don't know what you mean by "get a pump". he knows i want to get fit and gain muscle. he says this will achieve that. i'm not arguing for him. i legitimately want to know if ANYONE has ever come across this, as i have never heard of it. like i said. don't want to waste time if this will not achieve my goals. saving $10…

oddly enough he's a competitive body builder... he swears it works. i don't know if i want to take the time to find out if no one else has ever heard of this method

yea i've been confused too but didn't know if it was something i wasn't aware of. i don't think it's possible to do the 100 unbroken, but he makes me get 100 in total of each exercise. and if i hit 50 without stopping the weight goes up the next time. it's "normal" exercises for lack of a better word. i was willing to give…

I know. I am absolutely HORRIBLE at keeping up with forums lol But I am proud to say I did all my weigh ins and even ALMOST met my goal. I was so close. Great job guys! :)

me too! if only cost wasn't an issue

I fought trying sushi forever. Probably only been a year since I ate it at all. But I also was like you. Only cooked stuff for me please. But then I finally decided I had to at least try it. Oh My God..... YUMMMM. My faves really are the tuna and avocado roll or also salmon and avocado. I will eat sashimi as well but I…

I'm not expert, but I"m pretty sure the max is 20%, not 30%.

There is no HRM, but it tracks in man other ways. you wear it pretty much all day but it is not water resistant so no shower. I have it and it is amazing. I"d recomend to anyone

This is sort of unrelated but I get so irritated when I see people say "diets are temporary, this is for life". Perhaps the true definition of diet is unknown. di·et /ˈdī-it/ Noun The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. A legislative assembly in certain countries. To me, it seems that this IS…

i make this meal! except i add a can of cream of mushroom (or whatever cream of you wish) to it. absolutely delish and doesn't add much more cost, especially if you get generic. do not "make" the soup by adding water. just dump the big glop into the crock pot lol edited to add: it goes without saying to buy the 99% fat…

I usually just make a protein drink. 1 cup skim milk and 1 scoop body fortress strawberry flavor.

i like a yogurt or a 90 calorie brownie lol

I never seem to get my fat grams high enough. I"m starting to think it is a bad thing. I eat about 1500 calories a day. My diary is open. I eat healthy 95% of the time. I can't figure out how to eat healthy and get enough fat though. I did eat some nuts last night and had a bit of turkey bacon. So I actually hit my goal…

Close. 3500 calories is a pound. But you don't necessarily have to "burn" them all. You can do diet, exercise, or a combo. I'm sure someone will explain it much better than me. But you get an idea. :)

this sounds a little more realistic. i just don't see how i could possibly lose weight if i eat at maintenance always, even with the program. but i think i could handle the 10/20% on the different days. Getting stronger and being fit is the major goal, but I definitely will not be at my fittest at the weight I am now. No…

mine too! LOVED this. way to go girl! :)

When I mentioned the empty slots on the chart I actually meant last weeks, but I see now there is only 3 missing so that is much better than it was :)

Hey guys, I have been slacking on posting (sorry) but i see many are slacking on inputting weights. Only 4 of us did out of 11! Lets get back on track at least that much :) I know we can do this.

maybe someone could volunteer to start a 2nd (or 3rd) group? i have no idea what to do or I would but i know i'm disappointed not to get to do this. don't really blame others for feeling the same way.

I just started one, motivated by you guys! :) http://annebaum.blogspot.com/

I'd love to know myself. When I started my size 20s were tight but they did fit. Now they fit comfortably and on their way to not fitting, but I don't need a belt or have to hike them up, and i'm down 26 pounds. I'd love to know when I can go down lol

I didn't have instant coffee so I skipped that, or powdered sugar. But WOWWWW delicious. My kids and husband will NEVER know they have black beans in them lol

Girl you have been on one hell of a journey and it's not over yet. If you had the motivation to lose 105 lbs i am certain you will keep going and we will see another post from you. You look AMAZING and seriously you look fun to be around lol You are a beautiful girl and an inspiration. Thank you for posting this.

in! please! :)

THIS!!!!!!!!! lol It actually amazes me that people DON'T understand why it's harder to eat enough when you are eating right. You worded it excellently. :)

this and this! i've always been partial to red hair and you actually look 15 years younger imo your 2nd pic you look like you are only 16 but i see you are my age! way to go girl! :)

If you aren't full I am interested :)
