Thanks for the replies, sadly my smartphone was stolen so no barcode scanner for me - I hadn't tried scrolling to the bottom of the list, so thanks for the tip!

I have gone running after my Body by You workouts. Running uses muscles differently than the body weight moves. I think it's fine to do both on the same day - except on the day that I run intervals. I want my muscles to be fresh for intervals. I have also done BBY in the morning, then run intervals in the evening and that…

Hi Dawn - If you are having joint issues, I wonder whether dietary changes might help? The Omega 3 fatty acids are lubricants for the body - so you might benefit from eating fish regularly. I roast walnuts and keep them around for snacking as well as for adding to foods when I want more protein and Omegas. They make a…

YAYOG is 4 x week, BBY is 3x week

Just wanted to let you know that the soreness improves a lot after the first couple of weeks. I'm on week 4 and still get sore - but not painfully so like I did the first week. Also my posture has improved and it's helping my running as well.

I am on week 4 of the Body by You book and one thing I am relieved to share is that the soreness subsides. The first week I was so sore that it was slowing me down at work! After the first week or two, I still felt sore after workouts - but more a mild, not too bothersome kind of sore. Nothing like the hobbling soreness of…

From what I hear - the difference between BBY and YAYOG is that there are more increments offered in Body by You - more levels in between so that you improve bit by bit. Also BBY suggests working out 3x week while YAYOG suggests 4x week. So I think the progression is slower - but that's fine for me since my arms are pretty…

Hello! I'm on week 4 of the program. I feel l have noticed a change in my posture. I find myself standing straighter without thinking about it. I also felt stronger running the other day. I am looking forward to the day when I complete my first pull up!

I recommend drinking diet soda. I don't even like regular now that I have gotten used to diet. If you really enjoy regular soda though, go ahead and drink it - then exercise it off.

It sounds to me like that is an awfully low calorie goal. I recommend increasing your calorie goal and losing weight more slowly so that you are more likely to maintain your losses. You could also eat something with lots of protein since you are starving, wait 30 minutes and then go and exercise it off.

A bit off topic - but it sure is motivating to hear all of these success stories! I just started myfitnesspal a few days ago.

Thanks for the tip - by selecting strength training in the cardio section - it gives me about 102 calories for 30 minutes. I'm happy with that!

One of the tricks to feeling full is eating smaller meals more often. On my current diet I'm aiming for 5x300 cal meals a day. This really helps me to avoid binging - when I allow myself to become starving I'll eat anything! Also it's important to include foods with a balance of fat and protein instead of just carbs. Carbs…

I think it just depends on your genetic makeup. Some people have more glandular tissue in their breasts while others carry more fat tissue there. Guess you'll just have to wait and see! If you are worried about weight/back issues with large breasts, chest and back strengthening exercises may help.
