2 more days of week 3! Getting better, wish i was burning more calories. Gonna have to push it harder.

hating the duck walk- then going into squat jacks! W3 Day 2

finished week 2! Much easier towards the last few days. I didnt quite get those silly push-ups, I did the easy version, I guess. I didnt burn as much cals in week 2 as week 1 so my body must of felt like it was less cardio. Looking forward to week 3. I am using 8lbs mostly...I should be doing heavier since I have been…

feeling better today! Really liking the ripped in 30 workout!

STILL SO SORE TODAY!!! Could hardly walk!

Day 2! I'm sore. Didnt think that would happen. But it is a good sore! How was everyone elses day?

I started RI 30 today as well, so surprised I burned as many calories as I did. I have been working out hard core for a few years and thought this was going to be a breeze, but it worked muscles I haven't worked in awhile. It was a nice change. Pretty excited to see what happens in 30 days. I am also in a ZUMBA class 2-3 a…

I do it 3x a week. It definitely works! Just started a new HIIT. Walk fast for 2 min Run for 2 min Sprint as hard as you can for 1 min Do this a total of 5 times=25 min I also do Zumba 3x a week and weight train 2x a week. I am on week 2 of this new program, and plan on doing it for 8 weeks for sure. I switch it up all the…

the hardest part is training yourself to drink so often.

I dont really feel full from putting my fork down, I need something to help fill me up AND slow me down. It really works and it almost makes me feel STUFFED and the drinking between bites slowsssssssssss me down.

I am always hungry as well and almost always eat ALL of my exercise calories and sometimes more. I never have understood the people that say they can't. Even though I wish I could say that.

I think it makes a lot of sense. Now that I am not training for a long race. I wanted to start a workout that's tough, quick, and effective.

I add 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed to my food daily. It is the best fiber source out there. Try to find the ground up flaxseeds so your body uses the whole thing. If you eat the whole seeds and dont chew them enough you dont get as many nutrients. It seems to help me :)

I also eat a TON of peanuts and almonds. Thats where most of my fat grams come from, while still staying in my calorie/carb range.

I usually have a small low carb wrap, smoked ham lunch meat and a little shredded cheese. I put it on the microwave for about 25 seconds and have a low carb hot ham and cheese wrap. Today I mixed mustard into my tuna pouch and put that into my wrap. I go home for lunch so I like to throw chicken breasts in the crock pot…

you can get it there:)

OXYGEN is the BEST fitness mag ever!

This sounds just like me. I have lowered my carbs as well and it has totally changed my binge eating and I dont feel as hungry all the time. I keep my carbs under 100 and really most of my carbs are from my morning oatmeal after I workout. I have been training HARD for 2 years and also dont have the body I think my…

I choose to have lower carbs most days of the week and have has many as I want about 2x a week. I find my cravings are much more under control, my belly looks less bloated. I always start my day off with carbs (oatmeal) everyday after my workout to refuel and then I keep it low carb for the rest of the day. I eat a lot of…

depending on exercise I eat about 100-120, and havent been doing this for long, I feel like I look less bloated. I dont like to weigh myself so I am not sure on scale weight and I dont have a ton to lose so looking less bloated is great! Since switching I feel less hungry thorughout the day when I dont eat the carbs. I was…

I love the nivea good bye cellulite serum. I always can tell a difference after I have been using it a week. If you stop using the cream like I do in the winter, the cellulite shows up again.

interesting

workout clothes, pee, HR monitor, head to the basement for my workout 6 days a week.

I have always known this stuff was bad, but didnt care because I loved the taste of my food/ diet coke. I just have to do something. Personally I have to do it cold turkey or I will eventully work in more and more until I am back to where I was. I used 2 tsp of real sugar this morning in my oatmeal and it was fine, not as…

:blushing: sadly 1/2c per a 1/2c of oats

I have been doing this to myself for a few months now too. It is depressing. I do good all day and then after supper I am like a crazy person without control.....grrr I wish i had the answers. Its terrible. Everything you described is me. I usually exercise at 530am but I am trying to do another round at night too, to keep…

Yep I do those floor exercises as well. I dont have the machines in my home and we live in a small town without a gym. So I use resistance band tubing to work my abductor and adductor. I read some info last night saying to decrease my weight and focus on my long rungs for my leg workout.

Thank you for all the ideas. I currently eat oatmeal, yogurt string cheese, tuna, chicken breast, tons of veggies, protein shakes, nuts,PB, whole what bread, fruits, etc. I seem to get hungrier the healthier i eat. at night I cant help but start thinking about junk food and feeling the urge to binge.
