Love :)

I use Body Fortress Whey Protein that I get from Wal-mart. It's about $15-18 a tub and lasts me about a month with 1 shake a day. It tastes pretty good if you mix it with milk. I made the mistake of mixing with water once and will never do that again. Yuck! It has 30g protein per scoop and seems to be pretty well rounded.…

I needed to hear that this morning. I stepped on the scale only to notice, once again, it had not moved. However, I was just telling my husband that I was going to need some new pants for work because mine are getting so big and loose. I have more energy now than I have in years and I have way more endurance than I did…

I was 5% smaller than what I thought. I too always thought of myself as an apple shape, and honestly to realize that I am a "perfect hourglass" according to this site, gave me a little more motivation!

For me I always was told I needed to finish everything on my plate regardless because of the starving children in *insert country here* and also we didn't have a lot of money so there was going to be no wasted food. Just as you have a negative relationship with food, so do I. We just go in opposite directions. I have…

Check out YouTube. You can just search for workout videos or something similar and come up with a ton of options. Also, most of the ones that have been mentioned here are available on YouTube also. I have been doing 30 Day Shred as well and love it. Short and semi-sweet but a great workout nonetheless. Also, last night…

Bump

I noticed a much larger scoop in my recently opened protein powder too. I just thought it was me. I have been buying Body Fortress as well.

Made it through the entire 30DS video without stopping for the first time in the 5 days I have been doing it! I was stoked!

I'm doing a 30 day plank challenge with some of my friends on facebook. It starts at 30 seconds and supposed to work your way up to 5 minutes. Yesterday was 2:30. I did 2 minutes then my arms gave out! It was a little dissapointing that I couldn't hold for 2:30 but I was darn proud of myself for going 2 minutes because 19…

Done 7/24

I love rafting! I want to buy a kayak so I can do that every weekend :) Yesterday I did day 3 of 30 DS!

I don't go near a scale during TTOM. And I definately never skip a workout day. I may end up doing something a bit less strenous, such as just going for a long brisk walk, but I still get up and move. It helps with my cramps and my mood so much.

Thank you all for your responses. One more question. Everyone keeps saying it's ok to go below my BMR for a short amount of time since I have so much to lose, but how long would be a short amount? Until I feel ready to kick it up or until I plateau or until I reach say 50 lbs lost? Or is it really all just relative? Thank…

Done! 7/22, 7/23, 7/24

That helps a lot. Thank you!

Awesome job! I can't do a fully extended push-up yet...still doing girly ones but I'll be there one day too! Keep up the great work!

I did terrible yesterday too! Good news is today is a new day and a new start. Start fresh and let's kick this extra weight's *kitten*!

Chest - 49 Belly - 52 Hips -51 Thighs - R 29.5 L 28.5 Arms - R 20.5 L 19 Neck - 17 Ugh....those are depressing numbers!

Starting weight: 255 Goal Weight: 245

Great job!!! I'm just starting my journey and hope I can be as successful as you have been!

This is exactly how I am! I spend most of my work day reading message boards :0

I started it this morning! It's onl y20 minutes plus 5 on each side for warm up and cool down but you can defintely feel it working! I feel great though! I'm excited to see the changes in the next 30 days!

Is this also any type of crunch (regular, reverse, etc.)?
