motivation for me is I want to have muscle and look the best I ever have. I also tend try to not think about the weight loss and thing about working out more. Think of it as fun. Try to look up new recipes. ETC. jUst try not to focus on the weight so much. I know its hard not do @ all (b/c Lord knows i still do ) but try…

awesome! you look great!

i log it .. just so you know what you did and if it really messes your week up than you know NOT to do that again OR to work out harder so that it wont effect you whole weight loss. For me Cheat meals are a must and I coulnt survive w/ out indulging once i awhile.

great job! keep up it ;) :drinker:

awesome job! gotta love those NSV's! I think NSVs are better than stepping on the scale and seeing the number go down. WTG!

THANKS for the posting this topic! my sister will never use a microwave b/c she is scared that when you use them they will make your food radioactive. and has always said something when i use one. :indifferent: It's good to know that there is somr research that can assure me that Im not making the wrong decision by…

depends on what mood I'm in. I listen to just about everything. However, I cant really listen to slow/r&b/classical music while working out. I know a couple friends who do But i dont know how they can do it. I Mainly listen to :: Rage against the machine , system of a down, black eyed peas radio on pandora, or some other…

wonderful results yOur doing great! keep up the good work!

i just wear really tight shorts.. i gues you could call it spandex.. but they arent shinny and dont look bad.. It what charlene the girl on turbo fire wears :) . its the only thing i cn work out in when i cant wear pants.

okay.. ill post in january. :wink: that will be my one year mark.

I wouldnt do the shred twice in one day just because Jillian M. gets on my nerves :D .. but what i did DO was do the 30 day shred and do some other type of cardio.. Running/rowing/ some other workout video.. I did the 30 day shred and they are great workouts but I did end up muteing the sound and turning on my on own…

great job! you look great! :drinker:

i stop mine after my heart rate gets to a lower zone--- 100-90ish.. not at resting heart rate.. but def after im done doing my final stretch.

my brother has one and I use it regularly... The one he has it has certain settings on the front part w/ numbers. The lower the number the lower the resistance. The key is to do a constant, steady, "glides"(rows). Push w/ you legs then when your legs are totally extended, then that when your arms come in to play. hmmmm.. I…

I log all of my exercises by using a heart rate monitor. Heart rate monitor will tell you how much calories you burned based on your heart rate..

I think that anything will help. I have heard, actually, that if all that you can do is 10mins than do that. I also heard, that if you split it up (10mins here then 10 mins there etc. ) it still counts as something. ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING. BUT doing it one time will be faster and will burn a lot more calories.…

chinese food... On my cheat day i always tend to go for something else. I havent had this in 8 months!

I discovered Monster Rehab ( ilove the red kind) there are no sugars or caffine. Absoulutly love em!

i always do this! :)

yes i agree 100%! :)

:drinker: congratulations! thats is great news! way to meet your goal :)

Also, i wasnt tracking my calories like I am now. and i wasnt working out every single day like i am now. So i wasnt loseing.…

I did cry :D such an inspirational story!! Thankyou for sharing !!!!

omg! WOWWW!! that is quite a transformation! Way to achieve it! you look incredible! :drinker:

i usually do my workouts late so i usually eat dinner afterwards.. BUT if I am off schedule and do an early work out my snack would be a piece of fruit and some almonds or some black beans. HOwever, i have stumbled across some protein bars (that arent low calorie) but are yummy especially after a workout or afternoon…
