Thank you!! Great suggestions!! I'm loving it - thank you all!

These are great ideas for beforehand - I can totally handle bananas - peanut butter (or almond butter in my case) is a great and easy idea - thank you!! :smile:

Hi krhyme! What is the pre-workout amino complex drink you drink prior to your workout? I might look into that.....thanks!!

Thank you - this is a great idea and I've done this before - banana and string cheese but again - I'm already getting up at 4:30am - now I have to get up at 4am just to eat?? Maybe on my sleeping in days, this will work - thank you!! :smile:

If I was doing an afternoon workout this would totally work but at 4:30 in the morning?! No way but I do like the nuts idea - thanks!!

Yes, it IS really expensive!! I agree with you because it looks like there are a lot of great things in it! :)

Hi! I like the idea of adding the granola - that was recommended somewhere else as well, I am going to try that, great idea!! Thanks for your response. I have a really good rep at GNC that gives me an awesome discount on the Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 mix - it's normally over $70 but he drops it down to $49.99 and it…

This is great, Chelle, thanks! It's just so dang early to eat!! Love your breakfast option! :-)

Yes, it really just depends on the day for me but most of the time I'm fine without eating I just didn't know if that was good or bad to do........I agree - I will just listen to what my body tells me. :) Yes, I think the Shakeology is only at most 18g of protein a shake with tons of vitamins and green blends, etc. in…

Thanks! Is it best to eat protein prior to a workout or carbs? Or does it just depend on the person? What do you mean my adjust your macros for the rest of the day - are you talking about the percentage of protein, carbs, fat? That makes sense - thanks!

Thank you!! I think I might try making my shake first thing in the morning, having a little bit and then finishing it after my workout. Just some mornings I do feel hungry but it's so hard to EAT something that early. Other mornings I'm fine not eating but do feel pretty tired towards the end of my workout......probably…

@Graelwyn - I could totally do the eating thing in the afternoon and have done that before but what about at 4:30 in the morning?? It's just too hard but am I doing more damage by not eating prior to working out or is it okay? That's my question......thanks for your reply! :smile:

Anyone? :happy:

What about almond butter?? I've been trying to "eat right for my type/genotype" and evidently I'm not supposed to eat peanut butter eventhough I love it BUT I can eat almond butter and have grown to LOVE it. Try it out! I think there's also cashew nut butter and some other alternatives that I haven't tried myself but sound…

Hello Kkerri! I am a HUGE fan of Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis and have seen amazing results. I, like Tracy, was a classically trained dancer and danced just about every day from the age 14 until 22 and although yes, I was younger, had a long, lean body despite my curves that I could never get rid of but they were toned…

Bump.

You are not female.

Great work!! It's true.....although it doesn't seem like much it is great work and you can see how your body is reshaping/transforming which is SOO encouraging! Keep up the great work! :)

Hi sugarplumj and TAM friends! I also love Tracy and am on The first Continuity days 121-130 so level 13 if you want to call it that! Her method is absolutely amazing and I plan on sticking with her! What is the Facebook success stories page you are talking about? Oh and btw, I'm doing Meta Hipcentric. When I first started…

Hi! Are you talking about her Metamorphosis series or her DVD with the book? The mat workouts in the Meta series burn about 200-250 depending on your height/weight. Have you considered a HRM?

Hi Chrissy7! I've been doing Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Hipcentric since May 7, 2011 and I love it! Which set are you doing? Have you started already?? It took a while to build the endurance to do the whole 30 minute dance cardio but stick with it! You'll get it! I had amazing results the first 2 months of Tracy's plan…

Way to go!!!! You look fantastic and have made such steady progress! Definitely encourages the rest of us to keep with it! Funny but I'm coming up on my year anniversary with MFP as well! :) So happy for you and proud of your progress!! Xoxo

That's awesome, girl - congratulations!!! :)

Very cool story, Jen - love it and I totally believe it was your Aunt looking out for you! :) Thanks for sharing...xoxo, -Heidi.

Would a warm-type yoga class maybe help? I know when I did a ton of Bikram yoga my hamstrings were VERY healthy and looked good! Just an idea...good luck!

Yes, the calories burned are VERY close to logging it as aerobics!

How about trying to pick up a desk or cleaning shift at the gym you go to or maybe a yoga studio that will help switch things up for you? I've been doing that at my Bikram Yoga studio the last 2 years and get FREE YOGA all I want. Last year I went every day for 100 days in a row and never had to pay - it's an awesome…

Thanks, dyiaane! I went back yesterday, cut out the guacamole AND her fabulous "salsa of love" and I STILL got an upset stomach so I think I'm just not going to be able to eat there anymore! SAD but true!! Thanks for your input - and you know, if I think of it - it must be RAW garlic because roasted garlic doesn't seem to…

Hey girl, YES - at first I was experiencing quite a bit of pain which is why I suggested step-touching for a while and work up to the jumping. All of that lateral movement is probably pretty new to your body/joints, etc. so it takes time for it not to hurt. The first 4 days of DC I could BARELY walk it hurt so bad....all I…

Hello Rachelmof!! Yes, I am 51 days into my Metamorphosis! :) Glad you found me on here.....we can definitely cheer each other on - there are several other ladies on here as well (starlage, cupcakecarnivore, stephnsuarez - they are on my friends list) that are also doing TAM. I don't know what Shakeology is - you'll have…
