I sucked too. With moving home, meeting new roommates, seeing all my friends again... Gosh, I ate soo much food, I was still full for like two days! Anyway, I'm two days into paleo now, and trying to workout a solid exercise plan for college... we'll see how that goes!!

check in today... I've been down to 149 a few days this week, at 150 this morning... hoping I can hit 149 tomorrow solidly so I can call it. School starts thursday for me, so I don't have a solid idea of how my work-out regime is going to work. I did just commit to doing paleo for a month starting monday though, so that…

I agree that pullups are a better workout even with proper resistance levels on the bands. Pullups are really a whole body thing, as opposed to a targeted exercise. I started going to a gym or a park for one of the pullup days every week, about halfway through, and really liked the workout. Maybe you could do that?

yay! Great to meet everyone. So are we gonna have an official weigh in day, or anything?

I wasn't part of the original challenge, but I'd love to have some support during the school year! So here goes: Hi, my name is Amy, and I go to school at UCSD in San Diego, CA. I'm a junior studying computer engineering and computational physics. I started back in January of last year at 207 lbs, and I'm now down to about…

that happens to me when I'm dehydrated! Like if I go for a long run in the heat, or work out hung over. I would try upping your water consumption both leading up to and during your workout, and see if it helps.

I always felt like my waist was ridiculously small compared to the rest of me... And unfortunately it just got worse as I lost weight... I lost weight from my waist first, then boobs, then thighs, and then the love handles and butt are extraordinarily stubborn. I used to think it made me look heavier than I actually was,…

you guys all must be done, yeah?? I wanna see result pics!!! Congratulations everyone that made it through!!!! My last 30 days has kinda morphed into a P90X hybrid... I've basically ditched P90X cardio, and I've started adding in the one-on-one workouts for a little more variety... I think one or two more weeks and I'll…

Great job everybody! Com'in in the home stretch! I'm happy to report that I've now lost the few lbs I gained from my excessive drinking and eating the last weeks of my internship. I really liked fountain of youth yoga! Good alternative to regular yoga. I dunno if I'll try the kenpo plus tomorrow or not, may go on a long…

arms + shoulders, AND I finally got ahold of most of the plus's and the one on ones! So I did ab-core plus today... it's definitely different. Not using it to replace ab ripper, but adding it in. I'm excited for fountain of youth yoga tomorrow! Yippee for no 90 minute yoga! And there's a kenpo +. Woot.

aight!! I'm finally off that godawful island! Starting strong again. I may try an add another week onto phase 3 cause I slacked last week. Woot! Ready to bring it!

Available time... I bailed today :(. It's basically like finals week here at the lab... They have us waking up at ungodly hours to sign in, set up our presentations, talk all day, straight into dinners, packing, and the good bye parties. Unfortunately the gym is only open during day time hours and that's when we're locked…

seriously hoping to find an hour to squeeze this in later...I'm stuck standing in front of my poster all day. Y'all if I have to bail on this weeks workouts, how do you think I should deal with it? Start phase 3 over next week? I'm hoping to get all the workouts in, but I'm really not sure how it's going to happen.

I finished my plyo/chest shoulders tri day, and am back on track. It's hard for me to compare, b.c I'm doing weights now instead of bands, but I hope I'm not losing strength. At the end of todays workout, I could barely lift my arms... honestly the worst its been since starting P90X. I hope that just means I'm pushing…

This is gonna be an interesting week for me, P90X wise. It's my last week here at Brookhaven, then back to Iowa for a few weeks. I'm traveling this weekend, so can't count on getting the workouts in. I guess it's 3 days of doubles before the weekend, and then back to normal again next week.

I can't give you exact proportions, because I kinda just do this to taste. It is incredible, however!!! You will need: Herbs - basil (lots), oregano, thyme, fennel, garlic, parsley, whatever else floats your boat Carrots, zuchinni and onion grated finely. (I usually use 2 carrots, a zuchinni and an onion) tomato paste,…

I very rarely get angry, but if I'm truly pissed then a good run is the only thing I crave. So yeah, i feel yah.

not quite 70lbs yet, only 50, but here you go... still looking to lose another 20 - 30, so maybe I'll check back then! IMAG0138 by swinginchandra, on Flickr

Why not just start back up with phase 2? Amy

funnily wraps are usually higher in calories! I would stick with the bread, but make sure to get rid of mayo / other fatty toppings personally.

after last nights workout, I kept waking up in the middle of the night with my arms feeling like jello...not looking forward to the pushups in yoga tonight.

arms + shoulders and ab rippers... It definitely is fun revisiting the old workouts again! I like that one, it goes by really quickly. Man, watching my arms in the mirror these days I feel like an amazon! Whoever said women couldn't build muscle on a calorie deficit hasn't seen my pecs or triceps recently...

yes. It'll be slow at first though. I think *most* people that I've seen talk about it here lose 5-10lbs over the course of the month. I lost 8, while running every day too.

For those of you curious about week long juice fasts for weight loss purposes, just wanted to throw it out there that I did gain everything I lost back as soon as I started eating non-veggies again. I'm not dumping on raw / juice diets at all. I still think it was a fantastic thing to do for a week, and if nothing else, it…

I did it too!! YAY! My chest feels like I pushed it through a cheese grater yesterday. On everything but diamond and military, I can do 20-25 reps. On diamond and military, with good form, I can do 10, and then not so low for another 5. I was proud of myself for sure! I'm don't feel like I'm getting any closer to being…

me too syd, I think I ended up wimping out on yoga, and phoning in a lot of the stuff... Man, I'd missed chest and back. That's a good work out. No knees ladies, no knees.

if it's not too late, I'd like to join. Not sure if my paypal is set up, but I'm happy to throw $10 in the mail if it's not.

I don't know anything about CRC, so take this all with a grain of salt, but here is my opinion just general diet-wise: If the raw diet is new, you're probably eating a ton less sodium than usual. Also, a lot of people lose really quickly when they first start losing weight and exercising - it slows down eventually. I…

Y'all ready for phase 3????!!! Let's bring this home strong guys!

I've already lost about 60, but I'm currently 150ish, wanting to get down below 130ish. I'm 22 YO from San Diego, CA. Y'all are more than welcome to add me!
