I've recently starting incorporating Crossfit into my daily routine. The thing with it is, you get out of it what you put into it. So work hard and you'll see some great positives. It's an amazing community. See if you have a local "box" and if they offer a free intro. That's what I did, met some of them out at our Armed…

Protein and complex carb before working out.

I usually eat mine plain ... just always been a habit

I know I got my plans out of the CrossFit Journal. Just google - mine have slanted sides. One is 20inches high and the other 24inches.

I mix my vanilla with vanilla or regular almond milk. Either drink or pour over cereal. Sometimes I'll put it in yogurt. I was using ON Gold Standard but switched to Gaspari Nutrition. I think it tastes better

I got my dad to make me mine; if that's an option.

It creates an "instability". Flip it over (flat side up) and do pushups. Ball side up I've done squats (with or without a push press) lunges (forward and side). Regular and single stiff legged dead lifts. Even just standing on it one ankle at a time and balancing.

My co-worker has the after market pouch for it (goes through your laces or what not. He says it works. I've bought one to cycle through my shoes that aren't nike (i.e reezigs) so I'll be testing it out here shortly. But generally speaking I love having the Nike+ sensor. Plus their online community has challenges you can…

I don't have cheat days; maybe a cheat meal if it's a special event; wedding/party things as such.

Protein is good for you, no worries.

Thank you for sharing! She looks amazing.

Those of us who support you know how hard you work and how dedicated you are. That's what matters.

1 to 1.5g of protien, 1g of carbs or less, .25 to .5g of fat this is all per pound of body weight - a good idea for a healthy active female. If you do a low carb, allow yourself 1 'reward' meal a week to keep you leptin levels up. That meal would be 2g or more per pound)

Depending on your goals in life, it's ABSOLUTELY decision to be on a strick menu. If you simply want to lose weight to be at a comfy place then yes you can have a more versatile diary. For those of with goals who want to compete in any thing have a more strict way to eat, when, how much. It's a way of life and everyones is…

I raised mine ... 2-3 weeks ago. Best thing I've ever done. I lost a pound. So excited

I was always taught that cravings last roughly 10 minutes. Usually I ask myself if I really, really, need it. Or kind of ask what is it about that particular thing I want. You're mind is a powerful thing, but you can control it.

Yeah, cheat isn't the best way to describe it, even though that's what it is. I will usually have one every other week, one meal. Not day. It helps keep you sane and a lot of time reduces the desire to binge during a normal week. I've also read that if you do a lower carb, that it's a good idea to have 1 high carb day…

Depending on what type of ellipitcal - theres ones, which we call cross trainers, that you can move the arms and others where it's stationary, you can move your arms on you. But I agree with the above poster who said about it being at an incline/resistance you can handle. While a steady jog is good, doing it with some…

Def call your doctor. Bright red blood can be dangerous if it isnt hemorrhoids.

It's a life long journey, and you're in the right direction. Your mind is a POWERFUL thing. You have to tell/remind yourself to make good decisions until it becomes a no brainer. You've done great so far, pat yourself on the back and don't be scared. We are all here cheering for you. Congrats and good luck!

Up your calories and try some new exercises

Funny you posted this - two girls I went to HS with "plank" all over Philly ... so odd.

I have the polar FT4 ... I'd be lost with out it. I got mine off Overstock.com for maybe 80-90$ I think the chest strap is best ... but thats my opinion.

bump. sounds really good.

Yup, I'm still peeing every 20 minutes. I've been on ambulance calls and asked to use the patients bathroom. But like they say ... your body will adjust. I also try not to get into the habit of waiting until the last minute causing me to run, hop, skip, to the bathroom. Clear pee is good And I agree with Sarah - certain…

I've totally done this when it's raining ... Some day I'm expecting so it applies. =) Plus 10 years ago these spots were non-existence so tough love right there.

I park far away everywhere (unless it's raining) mostly because I don't want anyone to hit my car ... omg I'm turning into my mother.

5'4 125lb Depending on the store I'm a 4 or smaller. Aero 3/4 reg. AE 2 or 4 depending on reg/short and which jean. Lucky Brand 2

I've done all those things - plus sometimes I spray it with some lysol spray.

It just puts this thread under their 'my topics' to come back at a later time and see what people say.
