I'll be starting it around the middle of the first week of August! I'd love to connect with other people doing Chalean, or the hybrid, as I will be too!

I want to start this by saying that I DON'T work for beachbody. That being said, shakeology is my favourite part of the day. It's so delicious, and there's a lot of room for variety with the different 'recipes'. It also keeps me full for a good four hours. I'm still not sure about the other benefits of shakeology. At least…

personally, I think almond milk is DELICIOUS. Also, I'm pretty sure the unsweetened kind has fewer calories. I use both almond milk and skim milk, but for different things.

I find if I eat carbs before my workout (for energy) and have a good carb/protein after work-out snack, I can avoid being ravenous. I like peanut butter and banana on bread or mini pitas (post workout), or a good spinach and chicken salad with a tbsp of vinaigrette dressing. I also drink a TON of water during and post…

Hey! I'm actually moving (back) to Calgary next month! Feel free to add me :)

I was that way for a while, but I learned that I just need to be confident and go. I've met some pretty wonderful friends doing that. :)

I do! I recently lost 3.3 pounds, and I had to weigh myself twice just to be sure. I also got into my "sort of" skinny jeans (haha half way to my real skinny jeans), so I guess I believed it then. Congrats on the loss!!

I'm sort of random. I cannot have a good workout without 1.5 litres of water handy my iPod blaring obscenely loud and a piece of minty gum. The gum just keeps my energy up I guess.

thanks so much for the advice guys, I do appreciate it. I think that because it's in my chest (and solely in my chest) I'm going to suck it up, take a rest day and see what the doctor says tomorrow.

I use Adidas Superglides for my indoor running, and Nike ones for my outdoor. Both pairs I was fitted for at a running store.

waay too fast, you're bound to rebound.

my best friend said almost the same thing to me... although, my goal weight IS my happiest weight. Nice to hear though, isn't it? You must be making great progress, keep it up!

this might sound silly but I find it a LOT easier to drink water from a bottle and get all of my water in, than from a glass. Adding lemon helps some people too.

It just takes a lot of persistence and effort. I started jogging reeeeeally slow, and went as long as I could, then walked the rest of the 20 mins. Then, the next day, I added two minutes to that time on that speed, regardless of how I felt (it sucked, but I did it), until I got my time to 20 mins. Then I increased my…

push ups!!

sure, sign me up :)

also, this is 250 calories, btw :)

Mine are pretty simple, but I think that they're DELICIOUS. 1 half a banana 1 cup of frozen berries (or fruit) 1.5 tbsp of flax seeds (for omega 3's and other health benefits, they have a 'nutty' flavour to them) 1 cup of trop 50 half calorie half sugar apple juice.

new clothes! Spa days! Pedicures/manicures! Little things that don't involve food but totally boost your self-esteem :) Whatever makes you happy.

regardless of when you weigh, weigh at the same-ish time every time you weigh yourself. I weigh in in the morning when I get up, after I use the restroom, before I eat breakfast when I do, and I don't look at the scale any other time of day. :)

It depends on your feet, whether or not you pronate when you walk, and the amount of cushioning in the shoe itself. Some shoes are built for people who do pronate, while others are not (you can tell if yours are, if you look at the arch on the outside of the shoe, if there's a grey-ish block there your shoes are made for…

Hi! I'm Nicole, and I'm 23. Welcome! How tall are you? 130 sounds like a very healthy weight! Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like :)

That's amazing! Swimming feels so good too! You'll be pro in no time! ;)

OMG, I'm so in. Harry is my LIFE <3 :)

I go twice a day two-three times a week, and once every other day. If you're weight training, don't over do it, just do it the one time :) And like everyone else is saying, make sure you get proper food and water :)

breakfast (pre workout) half a banana, cut up in a bowl, with a cup of skim milk and two tbs of ground flax seeds. lunch (or post-workout breakfast, whichever name for it works for you) half a banana, a cup-ish of frozen berries and half a cup of the Trop 50 Tropicana apple juice in a smoothie (sometimes I add a tbs of…

5'3-5'4" ish, and my "magic number" is 122, although, I'm going to wait and see, I could be perfectly content at 135 with my build. :)

That doesn't sound right at all. Physical activity is activity regardless of the time of day. I prefer to work out in the morning, because I work evenings, and my gym is less busy. On the days I go to the gym twice, I do go in the evening though. I've also gone at 2am. That was fun :) Working out generally gives me a…

I make sure I go to the gym EVERY morning, right after breakfast, that way I won't make excuses. My workout usually consists of 50 minutes of cardio and about an hour of weights (I split and alternate them into upper and lower body days). Once I got into the routine I felt AMAZING after every workout, kept me going for the…

you look great! keep up the good work and good luck!!
