8/15/14 here (11 days to go!!). Wish I had the endurance for 5 hours and a movie! I'm more at 1.5 miles and an episode, lol. Do you plan to keep the same level of activity after the wedding? I've been doing Hiit most mornings before work, I might dial it back a bit but I'm loving my early morning work outs!

I had never heard this before so I had to google, read an article on bodybuilding.com (so I'm an expert now.. juust kidding) http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/no-boys-allowed-4-birth-control-fitness-myths.html Looks to be a myth. Plus, judging by your profile pic, it doesn't look like it's holding you back! All I know for…

I'm hoping to have this "challenge" soon, if we ever plan a honeymoon. The Mr. is interested in traveling to some pretty exotic places. I don't want to limit my choices because I don't want to miss out on anything. If I'm going on vacation I'm going to indulge, darn it. I'd say upping the activity level for the trip will…

I'd do one or the other, you want something you can stick to and feel good about completing. If you're jumping around I think it'll be easier to give it up (60 days is a harder commitment than 30)

This whole thread has been highly entertaining but your post had me laughing out loud!! Any who- I am not the confrontational sort, and I happen to think if you go to the cops things will not get any better for you, as she will likely know that it was you that reported her. I'd probably moon her. She'll find it either…

I started working out before work about a month ago- I work out at home and we do not have AC, so afternoons were getting *brutal*. So far I love it! I feel very energized in the morning, and as long as I have plenty to eat through the day my energy stays up. Also keeps me from taking two showers a day, and I'm doing less…

It doesn't get any better if you're a chick eating that food either, my coworkers continually comment on my lunch being "diet food", less good natured ribbing, more cats with claws. God forbid I turn down a donut in the morning. The food attitudes make me a little sad I probably wouldn't join a facebook group for much the…

I really like Yoga with Adriene on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene). She's really enhanced my practice, her motto is "Do what feels good". She has beginner sequences as well as "foundation of yoga" where you can learn more about the common poses and what you should be doing in them. When you feel…

Congrats girls! 8/15/14 is our date (23 days ahhh!!) I've been focusing on toning up arms, chest, and shoulders since that's all you can see in the dress. I've been doing bodyrock.tv work outs, since the wedding planning leaves me with no budget for a gym membership. I've also been doing a lot of yoga, some off youtube…

I was really hoping more people would respond to this! Not a recipe, but I try to hide some dark chocolate away in the back of the pantry (so I don't see it every time I open the door). It's there when I get a craving, I eat a square or chop up a square and add it to my trail mix or granola. The longer I go without sweets…

Let me preface this by saying this is in no way an even comparison. I dated this guy in high school, it was great for a few weeks and then he would be a real jerk and hurt my feelings and I'd boo hoo in my pillow all night and feel really awful about myself when we broke up, and then after a few weeks we'd get back…

I think I need to start over, lol. The past 3 days have been very bad indeed. We have been helping people move, so pizza has been most of the menu for lunch and dinner (my skin and my tummy are not happy about it!) On the plus side, I have our first loaf of homemade bread in the bread maker right now :)

Yes! thank you! so its not just me. This has been so frustrating and hurtful, I cant believe the people who want to pipe up and say something about how I'm too skinny or doing something unhealthy to my body. I can't get over the number of people who point out the food on my plate being diet food (vegetables), as if you'd…

I'm doing ok, but not stellar. We went to a big party over the weekend and I took just *one* bite of the foods that were tempting me (chips, and whoopee pies). I was pleased to find out that I didn't want more than that bite, the taste was disappointing. I did drink one light beer and sort of wish I hadn't, but not a huge…

(at the bottom of each post is a link that says Quote) I'm with you Jeanners, and I like the Michael Pollan quote you included as well! So far in my clean eating it has been making *better* choices and noticing how food makes me feel. If I go on auto pilot and make breakfast or lunch, I automatically seem to grab a carb…

ok, here's a couple recipes we've been playing with recently- Black bean sweet potato burritos (this is also the basically the same as mr's favorite veggie burger, hold the jalapeño add some corn and a table spoon or two of any flour, mash a bit, form into patties and cook on medium til they start to get a crust )…

pretty good so far I think- breakfast- 2 slices whole wheat toast, one whole egg, cup of black tea (because I accidently grabbed black instead of green, maybe I needed the caffeine!) 10 am- organic low fat flavored yogurt - not squeaky clean but an improvement for me lunch- got take out, a rarity! Had a yummy salad with…

oo thanks for the recipe Shalara! My guy will love that one. Thanks for posting the dirty dozen too, finally putting it into my phone so I have it while shopping. I usually go to the store with a couple of meals in mind. I grab what ever produce I need plus whatever looks the freshest. I have been buying whole wheat bread…

I also buy canned tomatoes until they come into season locally, I usually get hunt's. I would personally take out the honey, but that's just my taste. I also would add more veggies, but I like my salsa chunky- corn, chopped bell peppers...

I was bummed to tune in and see Sean for Day 2- he's done work outs in some of the other challenges, they're challenging but boring and he always seems to have this weird macho attitude, blech. I usually just mute him, use my own timer, and turn up some music instead lol. I didn't think I could accomplish day 2 without…

Thanks for posting! I've only tried a few of these- Siggis (sooo good but rather expensive) and the Pacific broths I like too, didn't notice they have a butternut squash soup, we'll have to try that. A lot of these brands I've never seen before, probably sold at Whole Foods or something?

Hi, I'm Katrina. I've been getting into clean eating over the past several months, with varying degrees of success. Still trying to work out what is realistic for us - my fiancé is tolerant of most of the changes I make but he still wants hotdogs and salty snacks and other processed food. I do the shopping and it's…

Did you do day 1? I was a little disappointed, but I'll definitely keep it up for a few days, willing to see where they're going with this lol. I was in the middle of the 30 day real time challenge, so I'm on the fence about which challenge I want to stick with right now, but I'll definitely be bodyrocking!

Day 1- kind of disappointing, I was bummed that it wasn't Lisa, plus it was just 3 sets of the same 8(?) exercises for less than 15 minutes total :/ Any one else do day 1? Anyone get the guide? I didn't bother and just did my own thing, but wondering if that's where the good stuff is. Yirara- the webpage is very poorly…

I usually plan 5 meals per week and then try and have some "pantry dinners" on hand. I find if I plan for 7 dinners I usually end up tossing food that has gone bad. So 2 nights are left overs, going out, pantry dinner, or eating at MIL's. The meals I plan are usually: 1) meatless 2) Mexican 3) salad or cooked veg with…

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I really like this app too! I'm still transitioning/learning, and also trying to feed the Mr. who still wants burgers and hotdogs and such. There are lots of things we used to eat regularly that score a D, oops! Now we're in the B and up range. This sounds arbitrary but the…

I love Lisa Marie, she always motivates me to put in the work. "you can do *anything* for 30 seconds!" I'm in the middle of the 30 day real time challenge and it is awesome! I did the boot camp and one of the other challenges and they were good too but the hour long workouts are really boosting my strength and stamina. The…

I usually have a spoon with PB on it lol

Hey guys, I am in the same boat, 5'4" 130lbs, and I hear you, I just don't think I'll ever weigh below 125 again. I think that's ok though! Teresa- I'm totally with you, I've focused on toning instead of losing. I've been much more sedentary since leaving college and noticing a lot of.. jiggle.. even though the scale…

Hey Justinicae, I'm just an inch taller than you and in high school I was about 118 and slender, college more like 125. I know every body is different but it doesn't sound to me like you've got 20 lbs to lose! Maybe we can help you with a healthy goal to look and feel better by your audition? What do you like to do for fun…
