Body glide is awesome, but I have started to wear mens boxer briefs under my skirts to prevent chafing. It is also nice because I don't have to worry about moving around with my toddler ans flashing people as much either.

You could always watch some of the beta workouts and see how you think you may fair. I am on week 5 right now and while there are things I still struggle with I am looking forward to beta. Really, if you don't think you are ready to do Beta I don't think there is anything wrong with either redoing the last couple of weeks,…

I use a bare bones Polar HRM and then use a calorie burn calulator online. This is the one that I use: http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx The link leads to a calculator for your gross calorie burn. Then I take that number and follow a link to their net…

That was really neat. I guessed between the third and fourth model and I am right on the second model. I like that it gives an insight into your body shape as well. I kind of figured I was an hourglass, but it was nice to read the confirmation. Definitely a cool site.

Ad a bit of milk or cream to your oatmeal in the morning, Also flax and chia seeds in oatmeal are yummy and have lots of good fats that will help you out. Have some peanut butter for a snack. Put some avocado on your salads or sandwiches. Treat yourself to some ice cream. I end up eating around 1600-1800 calories a day so…

Something that really helped me was using a bunch of the recipes in the What to eat when you are expecting book. It also gave a ton of info on sources for needed nutrients and helpful eating tips for a variety of situations.

I have found that working out definitely helps with cramps. My only issue when I am on my period is that I get really fatigued so sometimes i don't feel like I am giving it my all during my workouts. I also would suggest looking into a menstrual cup. I have found mine to be way more comfortable than tampons and as a bonus…

I wear my heart rate monitor an then made a custom exercise based on my calorie burn.

You could do shadow boxing while seated. It may not burn as much as going out for a run, but it can be really effective. Put a show on the TV and do swift punches while you watch.

When i first started i kind of stalled out around a month as well. There was about a one month period where I was gaining and losing the same three pounds. What worked for me was upping my calories, getting more protein, and changing up my workout a bit. Maybe try moving your weightloss goal ( I was at 1 lb per week and…

I keep water with me at all times, but I think what helps me the most is pre logging my night time snack food. Once i log dinner and see where I am at for calories and my macros I log one or two foods that I know will be filling, yummy, and fit into my daily goal. Then when I feel like snacking I go and grab the "approved"…

Talk to your OB Get a good prenatal with lots of Folic Acid When you talk to your doc be frank about your current fitness level and what types of exercise you do so they can help advise you on any changes that may need to be made. Try to stay as active as possible as it can make the pregnancy much easier. When I was…

I also really like the ThinkThin bars as well as the Pure Protein/ target knockoff Pure Protein bars. Just make sure you drink a lot of water with them. As for flavors...Think Thin I like the brownie crunch and the creamy peanut butter. With the Pure Protein I like the chocolate peanut butter and the chocolate deluxe.

I will do fitness blender, a workout dvd, or a walk away the pounds workout on youtube.

Started week two today and i can definitely feel improvement in my Cardio from last week.

Fitness Blender has a ton of really great HIIT workouts. You can find them on youtube, or if you you go to www.fitnessblender.com you can search based on workout type and dificulty. All of their workouts are free.

I treat myself to a "home mani/pedi" A couple of dollars will buy a pretty new nail polish color and then I take some time at night when my son is in bed and do my nails all pretty. It is simple and kind of frivilous but it makes me feel pretty so I like having that as a treat. really don't even need to buy new polish if…

I mostly do my workout when my son is napping, but on days when he doesn't want to nap he often finds it fun to do a workout video with me. He will grab my light 2 pound weights and mimic the moves and will try to tell me what one to do next. We also walk a bunch and run around outside.

went to the url that was listed and saw the pics. Great results! You should be super proud.

I started on Monday as well so today is my first Friday double day. Is anybody else doing the double day or are you splitting it up. And if you are doubling are you going to do them one right after the other of have a break between. I am trying to decide what will work best.

I have been using ThinkThin high protein bars as well as the target knock offs of the Pure Protein ones and i like them both. I struggle to get my protein in so they have helped a lot. I usually try to make cure I drink a good bit of water with mine too as they tend to fill me up longer that way.

This, I won't support people who refuse to eat a healthy amount of food. I am also not going to continually praise people for starving themselves. I will try to bring the issue to light before deleting, but if I am ignored or I feel the individual isn't looking for support in healthy weightloss I will delete.

Welcome! Hope you enjoy the program. I know I had a lot of fun doing it.

I am still finishing up week 4 as I fell behind a bit due to illness. I was debating between redoing RI30 or starting T25.

Took a break yesterday to walk instead of get Ripped, but I am back at it today. Today was Wk4D2 for me. I feel like my bout with the ick than ran through our house really put me behind, but even though I will be going into June I am totally committed to seeing this through. I felt stronger today than on day 1 so yay for…

So after having a minor case of the plague I was finally able to do Wk4D1! It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Yes I had to modify a bunch and yest there were a few places where I had to stop and watch then rewind, but overall it was pretty good. I am quite excited to see my progress on this one.

Made it through day 5 and I have to say it felt better today than any other. I love seeing the improvement each week. Watched week for to get a preview of what I am in for and all I can say is Bring It!:happy:

So I totally fell of the workout wagon this weekend, but it is monday...well a holiday so technically still the weekend...so I am gonna get back into the swing of things. I will be doing WK3D5 today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.
