Sue, no, I am not getting that quad work on the bulgarian split squat. IF I stretch my front working leg out, I lose all balance and the stretch on the raised leg is deeper! Ok, I have a thought for yall: Do yall wash your clothes in dirty water? Of course, not. Why? Because it does not clean as effectively nor is it good…

Sam, I understand. I am so hungry in this stage! I'll never lose weight if I keep this up!

Yes, I have the top of my foot resting. It seems like the resting leg is getting the deep stretch and I squeeze my glutes. So I guess that's all I am working. As for the reverse lunge, I feel so inadequate. I don't feel a thing besides the lunge part and even that doesn't feel right. Yay everyone for shrinking! I would…

(making sure this time around I am doing it correctly, unlike last time :frown: ) I have a few questions.t 1. Bulgarian split squat: I have noticed a deep stretch on the "resting leg". Is that normal? 2. rear lunges from a box: Which muscles should I be focusing on? I feel like it's a useless movement for me. Whatever I…

UGH! i typed out a bunch and somehow I deleted it! anyway, long story short. too busy today. forgot to eat. just consumed 1000 cals in the past five hours. yay! sambam! awesome for size 6 jeans. It has been 15+ years since I've seen that size.

Thanks, Sam. You're right. I am hard on myself. If I would stop , I think I would see changes but I am hardcore and then FALL WAY down because I can't keep up with my own expectations. Ate 6 mini powdered donuts ( I think :embarassed: ) and will be eating ice for lunch! I haven't noticed a weight loss BUT the good news ,…

I'm here. Just in a funk, don't have anything inspiring to say, or upbeat posts. Stage 2 is kicking my butt all over again. My bootie is feeling the workout. I hate those front lunges from a box??? sorry forgot the correct term. So I just did an extra set of Bulgarian split squat and regular lunges. Last time around, I…

HI All. I've been running nonstop for the past 4 days. I've tried to read/catch up on yall but no such luck. So THUMBS UP to all the awesome work or pick yourself up, dust off, and start tomorrow. :bigsmile: I managed to workout twice this week amidst the constant errands. Another Saturday workout tomorrow. :grumble: I…

Welcome, Pesi! Run, I had 55 g today LOL Pitiful I know. I had to eat 3/4 cup cottage cheese to get 21 g.

I did the last time I did the program beginning mid 2nd stage or 3rd. Currently, I am in stage 1 and easing back in. So no.

DITTO! WOW, Breeze! I bet hubby loves it.

SamBAM! I'll be here periodically. I guess I need a life too.

OH i just want some magic.:wink: (the fat to disappear, eat what I want, do what I want) I think knowing my calories hinders me from losing weight. I know it sounds strange BUT it's like oh I have 200 left over so I can eat ice cream or a cookie. I didn't get to workout today. Ladies from church went to Cracker Barrel. I…

hi all! I love a big ole hot roll SLATHERED in butter. But I don't make rolls and I keep stick butter in the fridge because it doesn't spread :laugh: I try to keep fats in the 20-30 category which is easy to do I guess when I don't eat much protein. I guess I need to find a protein powder that I can drink but I don't like…

DITTO!

yeah NO pecan pie. I had a 140 cal fiber one oat and chocolate chip bar. I dress more conservative now than I did growing up. I was never comfortable showing skin even as a teen. Even if I get an awesome body like Beeps and Sam :wink: , it will only be for my hubby's viewing.

I'm hungry today. I really really want a huge slice of pecan pie. Thankfully, there's none in the house. I lifted today. My salt intake is out of this world today :grumble: Canned soup..... Breeze, awesome on the weight loss!

Yall don't wanna know the calories I am consuming! I did hit 65 g protein!! worked out today . not much to talk about. i'm tired.

I love to bake. I love to eat it. :embarassed: Sam, your family doesn't like iced tea! That's our supper drink made fresh every night. Mallory is type 1 diabetic so we use splenda. I can't stand the real sugar tea now.

Please tell me how! use granulated splenda?

I made an awesome chocolate banana bread. I didn't enter it in the recipe calculator. It has to be somewhat healthy, right? Bananas? LOL I've had 4 pieces so far. It has helped with my cravings today plus I just had a cup of beans . Here's to hoping the TOM cravings stay away tonight.…

never mind**

OH I HOPE SO! :bigsmile: I did manage to get in 54 g protein but over carbs . The cheerios sent me flying over that category and I'm under a few in calories! I envision us all having the Brazilian butt . Should that be our next workout. :tongue:

I am squeezing the fire out of my booty when I lunge, squat , deadlift, or step up. No new exercise. Just trying to work those muscles. my butt is the saggy flat grandma butt. I want it to lift :blushing:

I did NROL4W last year. I did not see a difference at all. I am doing it again now THE RIGHT WAY. Are you engaging muscles? are you squeezing/tightening the working muscle? Take the time and feel the movement. Don't just go through the motions . Place thought and work those muscles. That's what I am doing this time around.…

Sue, I can eat regular dairy but adding milk with the whey protein makes me nauseated and bloated. I guess too much at one time is TOO much. What's caesin protein? I've got Doms too! My glutes are aching.

I really would like to get my body media going again. I relied on it too much though. I love the sleep and physical graph. I like knowing how hard I'm exerting myself. Sam, you broke even, right? right! so no harm done. Ladies, give me ideas for protein. I can't eat much meat especially red meat. (the lack of saliva makes…

COMPLETE FAILURE 24g protein today :embarassed: and 101 carbs and to make it even worse...... today was a lifting day! I feel the DOMS setting in. My glutes are starting to feel sore. Tomorrow will be a humdinger of a day. (soreness and TOM supposedly) I really need something high protein, no carbs, and within 200…

Hi All . I read all the comments. EVeryone is chatty Cathy :smile: I love it. Can't remember a lot but I "hear ya". On a non fitness note, I got a new laptop tonight.!! I will have a shift button to help with capitalization so I don't have to stress who is rolling eyes at my grammar and such. Hubs will set it up for me…

DON'T GIVE IN TO SONIC'S HALF OFF SHAKES :cry: the mini is around 500 calories. I am afraid to log in my food today! But the peanut butter fudge shake is awesome!:tongue:
