@gyp5012 No real eating plan! I just try to stay in my calorie range!
-
I do Crossfit every day M-F. We have a barbell/OLY Lift focus the first half of the class and then we usually do a meta conditioning portion the second half!
-
A-MEN! I go at 5:30 am every morning. You wouldn't have caught me dead doing that a year ago. But, it seriously is the part of my day when I can focus on ME instead of being a mom, wife, or teacher. I love it!

Hey all I'm entering month 6 and still going strong! I have officially laid off my scale as my goal measuring stick. This month has solidified that for me. I have gained 6 lbs in the past month, but my clothes are even looser and I feel even better! I notice a slight difference between May and June. Keep lifting! Strong is…
-
No problem! You can do it!
-
Update: Another month, more lifting. I passed my goal weight and immediately said to myself, "Now what?"...I wasn't done. I didn't feel, done. I'm now working on gaining strength and focusing on gaining muscle mass. I'll probably still keep a close eye on the scale, but the numbers aren't motivating my goals. (Easier said…

I do crossfit!
-
Awesome progress! Great definition in 2weeks! Crossfit has seriously changed my outlook on "working" out. I started it 4 months ago and I love it!
-
You look amazing!
-
Thank you so much!
-
Definitely don't wait! The people are the best part! I'm on vacation this week and trying to workout by myself and it's waaaaay less fun.
-
An hour or less. Usually around 45 min. Some days (weekends) I'll do some trail walking or take the kids/dogs for a walk that would be much longer.
-
Wow, you can totally tell a difference!
-
I'm right there with you. I still do enjoy some cardio, but I get so excited to lift!
-
I have MFP set at .5lb loss a week. I do eat back my exercise calories on days when I'm hungry and less when I'm not. Since Jan I have been doing CrossFit. At first I could barely do a sit-up or a knee push-up! However, everything is scaled and slowly I have been improving! We have a barbell club at my box that focuses…

You look AMAZING!

Thank you! I do CrossFit. I know a lot of people have varying opinions on it, but I went in with an open mind and I love it. I could barely do a pushup on my knees when I first started and now I can do several in a row. The only downside is I have to wake up at 5 am every morning to get my workout in. It's the only time…
-
Yes. Lifting and 12-15 min of cardiovascular, 5 days a week and then easy long cardio on the weekends. I also have been using MFP to make sure I'm getting enough protein and calories.
-
I had my second child in July of '15. I thought I had done much better "watching" my weight when I was pregnant, but I still gained 40 lbs. :# Finally, in January I decided to do something for myself and signed up at our local CrossFit gym. I just want to be stronger, mentally and physically. Three months in and I feel I…

Holy hell, great work! You look amazing.
-
Way to go! You can definitely tell a difference!
-
Yes, this. But, now thanks to you all and after taking some suggestions to get it from different food sources, I've been averaging around 100-110g. I actually didn't even need the powder. Funny thing is, I actually started searching info on too much protein...Lol.
-
I'm honestly not sure. I suppose I was struggling all around to make the protein a priority. Which you made me reevaluate some of my protein sources like almonds, PB...ect. I do usually eat tuna 2x a week, but will incorporate that more. I also got some Fair Life Chocolate Milk which has 15g of protein per serving. Thank…
-
Thank you both for your responses! I can definitely spare ~300 calories by replacing some of my "snacks" with the protein powder. Yep, so far 2 months! I'm definitely committed and fairly lucky genetically that my body respond's well to change. I'll definitely try out the water trick. I'm not a huge fan of cow's milk…
-
I avg around 60g daily.
-
Shoot, I forgot to put that I also eat mostly chicken and fish (especially during Lent). I'll check out the powder you suggested! Thanks!
-
Inspiring! Way to go!
-
Yay! Shorties! I'm 5'1" (with shoes :p ) SW 140 CW 126 (Mini)GW 125 The lowest I've ever been in my adult life was 120lbs about 6 years ago. I felt pretty good there. But, I'm currently trying to cut down my body fat % so that I can start gaining muscle this coming fall. So I'm not sure how low I'm going to go...

Thank you! Awesome job @Gimsteinn ! Good luck on Monday! You can do it.
