I make a quinoa salad of sorts. I mix quinoa with ricotta salata cheese, dried cherries (or cranberries), arugula, fresh basil, a little bit of olive oil (to wet the arugula), a squeeze of lemon juice, and pignoli nuts. You can add chicken or some other type of protein if you would like as well. I make a big bowl, works…

I'm starting 30 DS over again (to do it more consistently)...I'll do it with you too :) I may do level one for less than ten days but I'd be happy to offer my support!

I don't have personal experience, but I actually just read a fantastic article about "disordered eating" during pregnancy in the latest issue of Self magazine (the one with Demi Lavato) on the cover. It has lots of great advice in it and tips to recogize when maybe you might be putting too much pressure on yourself. Check…

Bump sounds delish!

As the poster above mentioned, i'm definitely seeing more tone in my body, especially my back, abs, arms and legs. I also pretty much have to eat healthy because if not, I'm very nauseaus in class. I think if you are eating healthy and taking Bikram 3-5 days a week you will see a difference.

Definitley a sugar crash. Whenever I eat too much sugar I get sleepy, bad headaches, and my muscles ache the next day in the gym. As said before, it's excellent that you are back on track nutritionally and getting some really hard workouts in will help as well.

Looks yummy! Bump

Congrats on finishing your challenge, that's awesome!!! You must feel great! Good for you that you lost weight too, I'm definitely seeing toning as well, especially in my arms, back and legs. I'm doing a double tonight, which will be classes 26 and 27 and then I will have my 30th class on Monday! Although I definitely…

mine is open, I work out frequently so that often bumps it to around 1700 but please take a look, i'd love feedback! hope you don't mind if I add you as well!

yum bump for later

bump to try later!

I made this last night with low fat ricotta cheese subbed for the greek yogurt and it was AMAZING. SO YUMMY, thank you!!!

I agree with chewing gum. It keeps your mouth busy and you don't think about eating the batter. ALso, try making the cake after a meal so you aren't hungry. After you eat, brush your teeth and pop a stick of gum in. That should stop you from trying it and licking the spoon!

Tomorrow is day #15 and I completed my first double tonight. I'm proud of myself :) one thing I have noticed though...my stomach has been upset lately, like really heavy feeling and bloated. Anyone else experience this? My husband suggested that I need more electrolytes...just wondering if you have any suggestions.

I was 138 last week and 137.5 this week. I've been working out more...so I feel like I've been eating a ton! I'm going to try to eat more evenly throughout the day this week for a bigger drop.

Great job ladies!! Amazing work :)

Did anyone notice a significant weight loss during the 30 day challenge? I have been sticking to my calories here on MFP (and eating back some of my exercise calories) and have definitely noticed a weight loss. I'm hoping to tone up, I'm leaving for Mexico March 15th, two days after my challenge ends. I'm hoping to look…

Today was day #8. so far I'm doing well...the first few classes were difficult because I had taken a few days off. I was also extremely sore in my neck and back for the first five classes, but now that seems to be improving. I'm trying to make sure that I keep my spine aligned throughout class. I'll keep you posted!

Sorry I missed last week but I'm back! Two weeks ago: 141.5 2/19/12: 138 I've started a bikram yoga 30 day challenge and today is day 7 so I think the increased workouts are helping!!!!

Nice! Keep up the good work!

My bridesmaids paid for their dresses that I chose. However, I let them choose any shoe in black to wear, so they could decide themselves if they wanted to shell out a lot of money or use shoes they already had. I gifted them with earrings, crystal hair pins and a cocktail ring so they didn't have to pay for accessories. I…

I start the challenge today! I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

Add me, you can read mine :) My goal is 1200

I estimate in the 550 range. I am also too scared to overestimate...I really need to wear my HR monitor and find out an exact calorie count. I am just nervous it might beep in the class!
