HI Everyone, Just a quick question. I am almost finished phase 1, and am just reading about phase 2. So I understand there are the lifting routines and the HIIT routines. Are we supposed to do a lifitng routine and a HIIT routine at every workout? Do we split them up? Do HIIT in the morning and Lift in the afternoon? Or do…

Good morning everyone, Happy Canada day to all up north!!! I had a good week last week. I got all my workouts in, both running and lifting and I ate pretty healthy. This week I am focusing on getting protein at every meal and eating plenty of veg. I am also trying to cut out the bread. I get a little carried away with the…

Hi Everyone, Not sure what DOM's is? Can someone tell me? I am feeling really good today. At yesterdays workout I managed to do 12 full pushups in a row, for both sets! This is really big for me. I typically do them on my knees, or with my hands on the bench. Then, for the seated rows I managed to use a weight that just…

Hi Everyone, I am new to this group. I have just completed week 1 of my NROLFW workouts. I also run on alternate days. I am 47, and have been working to get my weight under control for about a year and a half now. I recently had a bad A13 test that results in me being pre-diabetic. I am working to get my sugars under…

I am glad I found this group! I just finished week 1 of these workouts. I have done A and B twice each. On to week 2!!! I am also running on alternate days, which, so far is going well. I am really hoping to see some great results. I used to lift when I was younger and I loved it! I don't know why I ever stopped!

I totally agree with everyone here. You need to celebrate your great success! I am guilty of ignoring and sweeping my successes under the rug. Heck, I crossed the finish line of a marathon and the race attendant put the medal arround my neck. I took it off within a minute or two because I didnt want to feel like I was…

Hi Everyone, Just checking back in as a follow up. I started taking Chromium Picolinate on June 10th and said I'd be back to let you all know if I feel any effects. I am pre-diabetic and trying to get my A1C down by October. Well I have to say that Chromium Picolinate is AMAZING. All this time i thought I had really weak…

There are a few companies out there who make great sports bras for large busted women. When I use some of these bra's I don't need to double up and it is a lot more comfortable and supportive than the double compression bras. A regular bra, under a sports bra is just uncomfortable and ineffective. I have used the Champion…

I agree, your story is very inspiring! Congratulations on your success. I am trying to lose about 50 lbs and find that a hugely daunting task! 100lbs is absolutely amazing. You look fantastic.

This just seems so funny to me. I have been lifting weights since I was in my 20's. (I am now 47). It never even occurred to me that women did not belong in the weight room. At one point, in my late 20's I even had a male weight lifting partner. He was the most built guy in the gym and we had a great time together. I…

I totally agree with this post. I just find I feel better, sleep better and function better if I do not eat "carbs" at dinner. I also workout early, so the carbs are a great energy source for that. Of course I am assuming that you mean carbs, like rice, or pasta and not carbs like veg!!! Veg I eat with every meal!

Great job. I love the BeachBody workouts. I think they are a really fun way to work out at home, and who doesn't love Tony Horton!!!!

Hi Everyone, This is a very interesting topic for me. I recently had a high A13 test that puts me in the "pre diabetes" range. I will retest in October and am doing everything I can to get my blood sugars under control by that time. I have purchased Chromium and B complex to help me with this plan. I eat pretty naturally…

If i do a moderate workout where I don't sweat too much, then I may stay in my clothes for hours afterwards. As long as I am not leaving the house of course. If I run, or do cardio and I sweat, then it is like I can not shower fast enough.

Wow, I cant even tell you how inspiring this is. I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My doctor is going to retest me in October this year. I am super upset about the diagnosis because I have been working on my health and wellness for over a year now and I have to wonder. If my test is this high now, what was it a…

Terrific job! You are looking really great! Glad to hear you are also feeling happy and healthy too!

Hi, I'll be positive and hyped up for you. I have been eating clean for a while now, and my whole family is pretty on board now too. I have lost 25 lbs so far and my daughter lost 30. We feel full and energized and healthy all the time. I really love it and it is the way I will eat for the rest of my life. I will say that…

Hi Lorie, My name is Sarah. I signed up a billion years ago but never really logged in and looked for anything. I am a 47 year old woman, living in sunny Florida. I also really enjoy running as well as weights and yoga. Right now I am doing the 21 day fix, and I'm on day 5. I am really enjoying it. It is helping to make me…

HI Everyone, I know I am late to this game, but am wondering if anyone has any 21day fix groups going on now? I am on day 4 of my 21 day fix, and I am really loving it. I really like how the eating plan is helping me to get the right foods, in the right amounts at the right times. I really struggle with that typically. (I…
