That is great progress!!!

I am taking the rest days when I need to... I need to take it on Wed so that will stay through the rest of the program. I took another on Sunday since I ran a 5K. I will be resting again on Saturday which means that I will have two rest days together next week. I am not sure if Sat or Sun will be my workout day when we…

I did the chest & triceps workout today. I did the pushups in 3 sets of 4 for each twelve just because I can't do them straight through yet. I used 15 lb weights (dumbbells) for the bench press in all three sets. I did chest fly's since I couldn't do the cable pull and used 15 lbs for the first two sets and used 10 lbs for…

I "stole" my moms salsa recipe and wanted to share... I don't like "hot" foods but you can add more of the bottom two peppers plus a jalapeno to kick it up a notch :wink: Ingredients Raw - Tomato, 3 medium Generic - Fresh Cilantro, half a bunch (from the store) Bell Peppers - Yellow, Raw, 0.25 pepper (186 g/3.75" long, 3"…

Can you tell us how you maded dilled brown rice? Did you just put some dill seasoning in the with the rice as it was cooking?

I actually had three egg whites with some mushrooms in them... I stayed the night at my boyfriends due to weather and had to get breakfast at work :grumble: I plan on getting my salsa and meatloaf muffins packed for the rest of the week at work.... I got to get on eating "clean"!!!

That sounds great!!

Starting Measurements Weight: 166.2 Chest: 39 Waist (Belly Button level): 40 Hips: 43.5 Thighs: 21 Arms: 12 I will be taking pictures tonight before bed. I will have three- front, side view, back (with arms up)

I didn't follow the eating plan today... With my race this morning I was a bit off. I ate a nature valley pb granola bar for breakfast. Lunch was the post race "feast" of a pulled pork sandwich from city barbque and a banana. Dinner was a 5 piece nugget from wendy's, an once or two of skirt steak and pasta. I had a couple…

Glad to have everyone joining the group! Please send message and friend requests as you like :bigsmile: we could all use the encouragement :wink:

Thanks for the recipe... made them tonight and they are pretty good. I was thinking of adding another tablespoon of pb and maybe adding more vanilla. I also made the apple cinnamon bars and I'm not sure about those. Still decent since I didn't spit it out lol Tomorrow I am making the turkey meat muffins.... here's to…

That is an awesome idea! I will be stealing that for sure!!!! :bigsmile:

I am not sure if everyone can find this recipe, I went around Jamie's bodybuilding.com links before finding it: Low-Carb Apple Cinnamon Protein Bars Ingredients 4 scoops vanilla whey protein powder .5 cup almond meal/flour 2 tsp baking powder .24 tsp salt 2 tsp cinnamon .25 tsp nutmeg .25 tsp allspice 3 egg whites .25 cup…

That is awesome!!! I will have to make some of those! Do you mind posting this in the Nutrition thread? I will be doing the same thing with any recipes I find. I think that it will help everyone out to have ideas to chose from I know that I will be doing cardio because I am training for a half marathon in May.... I can't…

I am going to use flax seed only because my mom has some that I can try. I do have a little bit of whey powder, but I don't know how often I will use it.... it might be better than "egg whites" every night after a workout :laugh:

My rest days will be Sun (I am actually running a 5K :wink:), Wed (because of school and bowling league), and Sat (but I may throw in a workout for the "weakest" part and rearrange the workout the following week to build strength). So I will look like this: Day 1 Rest Day 2 Chest & Triceps Day 3 Back & Biceps Day 4 Rest…

I am making some apple protien bars and the turkey muffins this weekend... then going to buy some veggies and the "cleanest" egg whites I can find. I bought some Ezekiel (sp) bread and will be making fresh salsa so I can have that for breakfast!!! :love: That is a link on the bodybuilding.com/livefit page....go to phase…

This!!!! SAID IT... everytime you go through a doorway (which I am sure is often) Said it in your head or outloud.... "I'm beautiful, I've lost 70lbs and I'm proud! I'm sexy, and desirable, and could have anybody I want" Saying it is believing it :bigsmile:

I had mine done 3 years ago... It was great. I could wear clothes that fit me instead of fitting my chest. I no longer have the pain of holding them up. That is what I told my family doctor, that I was in pain from them. I got a referral and insurance covered it other than my outpatient fee. The scarring is very minimal…

Like any program I think you don't have to necessarily follow it exactly. But I do know that this probgram is focused on "clean eating" which is limiting the processed foods. The saying I keep hearing around is that abs are made in the kitchen. I looked over jamie's facebook site and most of the sucess stories say they…

Yes wear the bugg to sleep... at least for a week. I find that I burn 1.1 calories while sleeping. The number of calories burned while sleeping really add up: (1.1* 60) * 8= 528. When I wake up around 7 am my bugg tells me that I have already burned between 400- 500 depending on how many times I got up at night and what…

I am going to try to make the protien bars and turkey muffins this weekend. I also will start eating every couple hours tomorrow to get my body ready for the nutrition side of this program :wink:

Great to meet everyone so far!!!

I guess I should go first! I am a single mother, full time employee, part time student, training for half marathons, and dating a wonderful guy (so far 6months). So time is not something I have a lot of. I started trying to lose weight on my own in Oct 2010 (weighing in at 214) but knew that I needed more support and…

Alright... tonight I will make a group!!! :bigsmile: I will start a topic for each week/phase, does anyone have a suggestion of which? If we do weekly then there will be 12 threads by the time we are done or by phase is only 3 but there would be alot in those. Let me know what you want. Plus we can have a thread for…
