Results are in: I could've done better, but I almost threw up... So thats good LOL! And on the low plank obliques I was doing them wrong, so I divided half of the ones I did wrong (before correcting them). switch kicks-69 power jacks-32 power knee-92 power jumps-40 globe jumps-10 suicide jumps-7 push-up jacks-18 low plank…

It looks like you are doing something right!!! Keep up the work and keep it varied!

Way to go! I had a similar experience.. and then I hit my plateu. So I'm (healthy-mindedly) trying to work through it. Keep it up though!

I just took before pics and measurements... for added motivation. I'll post before and after's as I start to see some results! I can't wait till tomorrow after class (when I'm starting).

I loved Body Pump the first few times. It gets repetative after twp weeks of classes. But I really did enjoy the reps we did and the encouragment of everybody lifting around me! I only started with 2.5 lb weights as my light sets, and 5 as my heavy but now 10 is my heavy so it works.

I didn't drink at all on Cino de Mayo! Personal accomplishment. Well that and I went running yesterday instead and got a mile time of 9:30. I know its not great but I just started running because I used to dislike it alot, but it felt great to have such a low time for myself. I just hope it gets better next week and then I…

you look like you have more defined abs than I do in your picture. Way to go the bikini looks great!

I'm starting insanity this weekend or next monday toooo! I'm so excited, but one of my friends is loaning me the dvd's and she lost one of them so I hope it still works all right! If anything I'm just going to have to do lower/buns region myself. Let me know how you process is going with it!

O I was in the same boat earlier! I just got back from the grocery store so I decided instead of a burger I'm going to make lean ground beef salad with low fat cheese, salsa, black beans, and a dallop of low fat sour cream... at least it throws out the carbs and adds in lots of veggies!

I'm happy with the past few days. I've got my abs workout in every day at least 10 min, but I'm working for more time! But I haven't started running yet, so that's a work in progress...

Awake early this morning and I got my abs circuit in for today :) Now to work on that mile after class!

Last week I worked out every day except rest day and I found it hard to eat back all my calories too. I eat so much veggies and whole grains that I am pretty much always full. But I was stuck at the same weight all week. Well this week I am going to eat more in the morning and switch my workout circuits up a bit to…

Hi I am new to this forum, and I'm not well acquainted with making and keeping goals. So I am going to share my May goal with you guys so that I can't pretend like I have no one to dissappoint lol! So I have always hated running and abdominal work. Most of my fat is carried in my abs (which is really unhealthy), so this…

I'm in the same predicament. I try to take in my 'net' calories but it seems like too much when I workout all week. Plus, I'm trying to lose a bit of weight and I haven't gone anywhere since last week...

I'm trying to tone muscle, so I'm not sure if would want to do this, but I have a protein shake. Only one scoop, has 100 calories, and 18g of protein. I do not really feel hungry before lunch rolls around

I'm in the same predicament, but I even started consuming more calories, and I'm still stuck. Switching up my weight training, still increasing weights, but I'm not seeing anymore weight come off :(

Way to go I really liked your mini goals!!

My fantasy is that someone (that I haven't told I'm working out) will say "wow, you look so strong!", I'm not going for skinny, I want to look toned, strong, and flat bellied :)

Way to go. I am just now trying to do my first 5k (and hoping I don't have to stop at least a jog pace!). Every milestone counts!!!

It sounds simple but I like whole wheat rotini (only one 2 oz serving), with black beans and diced tomatoes with chili powder. It's like low fat high protein chili, I am just trying to cut out a lot of meat, but you could add some lean ground beef.

I agree, most of the time you won't even be able to get through a workout correctly if you don't put something in your body before you get up and go. I made that mistake and almost passed out in the gym. No matter how many calories I tried to make up later in the day.. it was still bad news

I like the first part of the challenge, but I have already cut out late night snacking because I eat so many vegetables with dinner I can't bear the thought of more food, lol! But the water goal is a goooood one! The under calories goal is good, but we all have to make sure we are hitting our NET calories. I already…

Definitely normal. And I welcome it! It just means I can take in some more water and keep my body functions movin along!

I literally eat vegetables with everything I cook now. I used to have cravings so bad at night I would fall asleep with chips by my bed and an empty cheese dip bowl. I eat when I'm hungry, but I am eating so many vegetables (that I love and are prepared even with a little butter). Since cooking veggies into everything or…

I have struggled with self control for a while. What really helped me was tracking my calories everyday. I started to see the days where I needed to eat more of the good stuff (vegetables, proteins, fruit). Now I add a heaping amount of vegetables to everything I cook. They really fill me up and I am not hungry throughout…
