Bumping to read later

They probably have a salad bar there? You could make a salad and add chicken or tuna, legumes, humus, etc to add protein and fiber.... Or could you bring a lunch?

dawnemjh very much interested!

I am not sure what sidesteal or Sara suggest but usually you add on an extra 500 calories. If you cut too much your supply may diminish....

yesterday done, today half done.. I did 2 sets this morning and ran out of time and energy so I will do 2 more sets later today.

I thought today would be 'easier' since the time was less even though we were doing 3 sets. Nope. Not easier. Hate Planks. But it is done for today!

done! really felt it in my shoulders second set!

Whatever day beg. Done.

Day 5 beg. done. Ouch. That hurt. I didnt think i would make it through but I did. No clue how I will last any longer.....

Day4 done!

Thanks! I dont "hate" lifting, just not my favorite gym activity, however I prefer barbell lifting over dumbless or machines. Thanks for any input!

Day 3 beg. done!! At first I only did it twice not realizing that I needed to do 3 sets :noway: ouch! I don't know if its cause of my workout yesterday, but I really felt it in my shoulders!!! and I have a hard time breathing in that position. Did I mention that I hate planks BTW????:tongue:

2 week update: 1/1/14 188.6 1/7/14 189 1/14/14 185 going back and looking at weigh ins, 10/13/13 195, so in 3 months I lost 10 lbs. I will take it, but was hoping for a little more, like at least a pound a week. Definitely see fluctuations around my period and this month for 2 weeks I didn't lose at all, then all of a…

Day 2 beg. done. What happens if/when we cant hold the plank for as long as we are supposed to?? I cant imagine doing much more than 30 seconds. So how does this work, if we cant hold it as long as we are supposed to?

done! i am also doing beginner routine!

I will do it! I have seen some plank challenges around and HATE to do them, but if I am in a challenge I will be more likely to actually do them~

will do. thanks!

Thank you Sara! I could probably cut a little more and be ok... Some days I am more hungry than others, so I will try that. I think I am also going to try the allpro routine as well. I was thinking of doing a little more running. Prior to pregnancy, that's really all I did for exercise, but since I was about 4 mos preg. I…

Thanks again for your help! Here is my update: I decided to wait a month rather than 2 weeks, because now that I am almost 6 mos post partum I am getting back into a regular menstrual cycle and I seem to gain a couple pounds right before I am due..... anyhow here is what has happened since last update 11/19: 192.8 11/26:…

Thanks Steve!

I had to go and buy one to try after all this talk. I don't think it tastes like icing, but it it yummy!!!

I usually start my thanksgiving day with a turkey trot or gym workout, which makes me feel better about indulging later in the day. We dont eat until 3pm, so I try to have a light brunch around 11 and then at the main meal my first dish is full of salad. Then my second trip I get everything I want, but eat more veggies…

This is awesome!!!!!:laugh:

I didn't have anyone help me when I first started, but from reading around the forums etc, I knew about the safety bars etc. I think like lwoodrof said, at first it seemed easy since the weight was so light, but it quickly gets challenging! I started right off with the Olympic bar for all the workouts also... I have since…

No problem. I will continue and be back in 2 weeks. Thanks!

bump :flowerforyou:

I usually weigh in a few times per week but not every single day... My cardio hasn't changed over the past month. thanks

1 month update: So for the past month I have been working out about 4 days per week, 2-3 days doing stronglifts and 2 days doing cardio. The first couple weeks after I posted, I seemed to be doing well, but for no good reason the past couple weeks I have gone back up, which is pretty typical for me. I seem to lose for…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ If you go to ^ website and put in your data you can find out how much to eat based on how much you want to lose each week. I would recommend starting there. Make sure you are keeping track of what you are eating. Its not hard to eat 1600 cals each day. ! serving of…
