I use EAS Complete Protein Shake - 25g protein per 150 calorie serving. My two favorite recipes - BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE: 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 3 cubes of frozen light greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen fruit (strawberries, banana, dark sweet cherries), 1 scoop protein powder. Blend in magic bullet and drink on the…

I have a dilemma and would really like some input. I am almost midway through stage 7 and would really like to finish before a planned trip on March 11. Here's the dilemma part - the only way I can finish is to lift two days in a row at some point. These are really heavy, really long sets. Do you think this is a terrible…

and I may be weird, but I actually loved the 120 sec planks, cobras, and the BWM. I always felt super POWERFUL at the end of each set.

I finished 5B yesterday and am starting Stage 7 (skipping 6 for now) on Friday. After reading these posts, I'm both excited and scared!! I am definitely seeing a huge change in my body - my shoulders and chest especially. I can't wait to see what the final cut does for me. I'm thinking of working with a trainer to meet…

Do a search for Fitness Blender and you will get a ton of great workouts. I particularly like the 30 min HIIT with abs workout. I often travel and it's great to be able to pull up one of these on my phone and do it in my room or hotel fitness center without any additional equipment.

Well, if you are doing it wrong - so am I! I had gotten all the way through Stage 1 earlier in the summer but started over around the same time you did, due to a huge life change that threw off my program. I did not go back all the way to my starting weights, but restarted somewhere in the middle. You are lifting more…

Wow! I'm so inspired by you. YOU ARE AMAZING (and you made me cry happy tears for you!) You are clearly just the sort of person to pick a goal and pursue it with your entire heart and soul. So lucky to have a great life partner, too. Congratulations on your successes, and many more to come!

Thanks again, Anitra! I will wait until after my vacation, but I think I have nothing to lose (except weight) by giving it a try.

Thanks for your input - it is all appreciated. I do some resistance training: mostly sculpting intervals with 5-10 pound dumb bells, and I average 60 push-ups, and 6-10 sets of abs each time I work out. I don't JUST lift weights though, I'l admit. I have lost a total of 4 pounds in the last 40+ days, but have been stuck at…

Thanks so much, Anitra, for responding to my questions! That 1450 number is my gross, and yes - I sometimes burn more than 500 calories in a day (895 today). I don't think I want to do the full reset if I don't need to. I've only been dieting 40+ days compared to people who have been going on months and months before they…

Thank you so to those who shared the skinnytaste cabbage casserole recipe ! I love cabbage, and hadn't figured out a way to make cabbage rolls without the rice (I'm low-carb). I think I can do that with this recipe by just leaving that step out.

I, too, was really, really disciplined for about 3 weeks and GAINED weight. Truly disgusted with myself, I walked away for about a week and re-examined my diet. (I lose the same 10-15 pounds every other year, then put it back on in times of stress). In the end, I decided I have too many cute, skinny clothes to give up! So,…
