WillLift:shrimp and tilapia sounds really good. How did you cook them? Nancy: happy almost your birthday! Sam: $25 outfits make my heart happy Bepee: Congrats on the body fat being down! When do we get to see progress pictures? I didn't last night. I was just too tired. So tonight I lift and I'm going to try to do three…

Pmag: bikinigeddon is four weeks away so I have to be uber dedicated. Sam(I think): bikinigeddon is so real for me. I'll be buying this bikini but what makes it so scary is that the goal is to wear it without feeling self conscious. Also I think greek yogurt, tuna, and protein powder should have a book in the bible. New…

Sunshine: that is an awesome name for a band. Let's learn some instruments and get famous guys! Pudding: congrats on finishing up stage one! I'm sorry you had so many things frustrate you. I know what it's like to be in limbo with weights but the important thing is you came up with good solutions and finished! My protein…

@maya nooooooooooo you can't leave new rules!!!!!! Stage three may look complicated but it's only three weeks. If you can do six weeks of stage one you can definitely do three weeks of kinda complicated. Thanks you guys twerking is an art form I take great pride in. I'm in Indiana with protein powder and an ez curl bar…

Protein protein protein! I love it! I used to struggle to get all my protein in but now I've caved and added protein powder so I'm averaging at least 125. Greek yogurt, tuna, and chicken breast are the way, the truth and the life. My younger brother graduated from college yesterday so I'm in Indiana. We cleaned out his…

Sam: I'm sorry this has been such a tough year for you. Here's hoping that it gets better :flowerforyou: Manic: For breakfast I have: 1 cup of greek yogurt, 1 scoop of Body Fire's vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips and a splash of vanilla. I dump the ingredients in a…

Don't worry about it. Most of the people posting in the older threads and around the web said they didn't see much change in their body in stage one and that the body recomp didn't start until stage two or three. After reading the book and all the stages again I think that stage one is supposed to build a foundation for…

It doesn't sound weird at all willlift! That's a great NSV
-
So I wrote this whole post about goals and things but the thread rolled and my masterpiece was lost. I give myself a 3/3 this week. I've subbed cardio with Tabata's and I got those done this week. I also did all my lifting and hit my protein. My NSV is that I did 75 second planks during my 2A2 workout instead of 60 seconds…

It's a B week for stage 2 and I'm SUPER excited. I LOVE the B workouts. I always feel like wonder woman when I'm done. And maybe I'm eternally optimistic because I'm enjoying this phase so much but.....I swear the back fat is not quite as fatty as it used to be. And that makes me want to twerk. In my office. On my desk. In…

So glad I'm not the only one loving stage 2. I'm sorta obsessed with the program now. Like everyday I'm thinking to myself either "Man I wish today was a lifting day" or "WOOOOOOO Lifting today!"
-
Sunshine: So I do two different rounds of Tabata. Tabata is 8 exercises done for 20 seconds with a 10 second break in between. I do a body weight Tabata and a barbell complex. So my workouts look like this 20 sec Speed Squats 10 sec rest 20 sec Burpees 10 sec rest 20 sec Mountain Climbers (keep neutral spine) 10 sec rest…
-
Maya: You're really killing it with these workouts. It hadn't even occurred to me to do the step ups with the bar. That's a really good idea. The B workout is longer but for some reason during stage one and two the B workouts were my favorite. I'm not pressing anything more than the bar on the fspp either. Twinmom: You…

2A2 is in the books. I decided to throw a Tabata on the end of every work out because I'm a glutton for punishment. I'm going to be throwing a Tabata on the end of every workout for a while probably but I'm only going to do one cycle on A workouts and work my way up to 4 cycles on B days since that's supposed to be when I…

2B1 is in the books and I'm so excited. It's hitting my shoulders and abs and back which are all areas that I really want to work on. Plus I got my tabata in so I'm feeling super badassery. I was worried about whether this program would work even after seeing so many success stories. But now I'm back and so pumped! Maya:…

Pudding: I used to try wacky equipment in the gym just for fun. If they had a smith machine when I was at the gym I probably would have tried it. I do step downs too. Step ups just felt really ineffective doing it the way they said in the book Sam: We aren't having monsoon season but the rain here is unbearable. I'm sorry…

I have my nipples pierced and tattoos. They are both painful but a different kind of pain. I brought a funny friend with me to both. Having someone that could talk and take me away from the pain in my head was SO helpful. In the middle of my nipple piercing my bf decides to drolly comment "You look like your in a sick…

Bump because her story is amazing

Does anyone have the link for the nrol4w facebook group?

Morning! I'm doing 2B1 tonight so that means dun dun duuuuuuuunnnnnnn INTERVALS! I'll be doing Tabata's because well let's face it I have the attention span of a two year old and the patience of one too. Plus they're really supposed to get the fat moving. And I need this fat to move. I found a great article on T-Nation…

My coworker called out so today is going to be a really rough day as I'll have to do all of her work and mine. Then I've got six million errands to run after work including grocery shopping. AND I've got to get in this work out. It's going to be a busy day but I'm determined to lift before the end of it. Have a great day…

mnsmov15: I just did my first stage two workout last night and I loved it! I was so bored with stage one and I think because two is so short and looks so much more challenging that I'm really going to have a lot more fun doing it. We could definitely start another thread but I'll probably still lurk around this one. I…

Wow! Your results are amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. It is exactly the inspiration I need to keep going!

I'm a disappointing 1/3 for last week. My protein stayed together but I didn't do any kind of working out. I'm back now though! I need to get like Runz with these pushups! I did my first phase two workout last night and nearly broke the chandelier in my apartment doing that squat/ohp thingie. Didn't know my arms were that…

Hello Hello Hello lovely ladies! I've been creeping on the thread for a while now and I'm finally all caught up! Beeps: This do as you say challenge sounds awesome! I might have to give it a try! Have you found it difficult to stick with the things that you've said you're going to do? DNA: I love that nerd fitness has all…

Ladies! I've missed you guys so much! I haven't been able to log on (no more wifi at work) but managed it today! My weight has been fluctuating like crazy and I am not a happy camper. Was up two pounds but I'm now up about .5 lbs. I've cut my calories down quite a bit and will work my way back up to better figure out where…
-
mnsmov- I haven't seen the scale move at all and my measurements have been all over the place but they're finally coming down consistently now that I'm not self sabotaging with diet. Also I've definitely seen some visual differences. Is that the case with you? The visual changes have been the only thing keeping me from…
-
I'm a bit different in that I try to up my weights by 5lbs every time I lift. Not always successful but I'm always trying.
-
Sam I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 3/3 for the challenge last week and things are about to go up another level because my barbell is finally in! I can't stop squatting with the EZ curl bar!

Morning ladies! Had a great lifting week and weekend! This will be week 4 in stage one and I'm so happy to finally be getting into the home stretch! I found a picture that I took in November when I first joined MFP. I may not have the perfect body yet but I've come quite a ways and it definitely gives me encouragement to…
