Thank you for this post. I have had two bad days. Very hot in Chicago so no workout. ( safe excuse) pizza two days in a row. Ugh I was doing so good. Ok tomorrow new day

Just finished.. sorta of.. fire 30 class.. would anyone recomend doing it over a few times the first week.. it was hard for me and didnt finsh the entire one or should I go on to HITT 15 class tomorrow.. Did better than i thougth for day 1. :smile: thanks

ordered if on Sunday.. on its way!! I am so in!!

My starting weight is 198 lbs this am 9/19/2011.

I am in!! I need to focus and this will help me for sure! Thank you

For me, The Chelean Extreme beachbody series has been suprisingly helpful. It is both weights and cardio. It took me a bit to get used to but it really focuses on building muscle. It is not about how much weight but slow toning. I was very unsure I would like it at first due to it not being straight cardio but I am getting…

You can do it!!

Thank you from my heart. Very honest and nicely said. I truely believe that it is so about "no more excuses". I have been getting up at 4:30am or 5am to do my workout before work. I NEVER would of done that before but everyday I look at others on MFP who are doing so well and that is my inspiraton. For my friends that are…

WOW!!!! Great job and what a happy family!! Have you been on a certain workout plan? It seems like a short time that you have reached your goal. Congrats and very motiviational for sure!!

One thing that I keep hearing (and I am trying to practice) is to stay away from the scale as your total success measurement. I was told to meaure yourself once a month, measure your BMI and see how your clothes fit. Avoidng the scale can be tough. I still weigh myself once a week but try not to only focus on that. I found…

My is August 28th and I would love to go down 20 more by then... Hit a stall at 24lbs..

How great to suprise her! She must be so proud of you!! It is so important to have the one you love support you. I have that also and without my husband's encouragement and pride, I would be in trouble and would of quit a long time ago!! . I am very luckly to have a guy like Clint as a neighboor. He is so nice, well read…

Here are just a couple thoughts cause I can relate. 1. The scale can be your worst enemy, I am learning. I would recommend doing your measurements and only weigh once every two weeks. 2. I am doing a intermtted fast 6 days a week .After 7 pm, I dont eat unitl about 12noon the next day . It was tough at first but atfer 60…

I tend to try to do my workouts early in the am I am trying to not eat before hand. I stop eating he nighjt before by about 8pm then eat again the next day a 12 noon. It is the fastng concept of eat stop eat. I do about 16 hour of fasting most of it when I sleep. I do have a coach who gave me this idea. He lives by it and…

I had not worked out at all about 3 years ( I mean nothing) until I started the Power 90 on March 28th. If I can get through, it anyone can. I think the trick is to do the level 1-2 for 45 days then go to level 3-4of Power 90. I tried too soon and it was very discouraging. I went back to 1-2 and now I am on my second week…

Thank you for this responce. I was thinking about what you said this am when I was doing level3-4 of Power 90 for the first time. I could not do it all but closer than I thought. You are an inspiration to many!! Keep up the great work!!

Just started the power 90 level 3-4 yesterday. Hard to make it through all the way. It seems at this level the sculpt for me is harder than the sweat. It was the other way around for me on 1-2. Is anyone else on 3-4? How's it going? I am very determined not to give up but everyday is a challenge. Down 21 pounds since March…

Great job!! WOW it took my breath away looking at your pics Question: I am on Level 3-4 of Power 90. In the next 45 days I will then be ready for PX90, I think. Do you think it is too much for someone who just atarted workout really for the first time in March? I am not sure that it would be the best next step when I am…

You look so good!!! I am so exctied to see that you are doing the Power 90. I just finished 42 daysof the Power 90 program and going to start the Level 3-4 on Monday. I have lost 21pounds and I feel like sometimes I am not going to hit my goal. Seeing your pics REALLY helped me . I started a 217 lbs and today I am 196. I…

Great job!! I just finsined Level 1-2 today. I am moving on to Level 3-4 on Monday. I am on day 42 and lost 21 pounds. I also have lost 3.8 inches off my waist. Some days are tough but tracking my intake helps me more than I ever thougth it would. I am also really sticking with the shakelology whcih I think helps me. I…

I was hungry for the first week that I tried to fast until 12noon but now I am much better. If I am done with my food intake by 8pm then wait until 12 noon the next day, I am starting to feel better. I was not in favor of this and thought I could never do it but I am really starting to feel better. I am a RN so I did a lot…

I think that being honest with yourself and "starting over" is good.. But really your are not starting over you are just coming back from a break. You didnt gain all 16 pounds back and your drive is not where it was when you first started. Remember it is not a sprint but a marathon.. Good for you and forget the past.. it…

Great job!! Keep it up and your posts help me keep pusing play! Still doing Levle 1-2 of both. I am on day 33 and going to switch to 3-4 on day 45. I am already thinking about how tough it will be

I have used the Shakelogy product for about 1 month now. I mix it for lunch with water.. Love it!! I am doing power 90 workout and it helps. I have a coach on beachbody that is where I order the shake from. It is a bit pricey but it cuts down on lunch prices for sure. I am also trying, for the last 30 days. the eat stop…

So glad I found this post. I started doing IF around March 28th. It was very tough at first but now I feel so much better. I am a Nurse and talked to many who said I was wrong. But.. did the research and data proves that it is the way to go. Here is what I have been doing: No breakfast and I do Shakeology for Lunch. I make…

One more point.. I bought a heart monitor watch for caloire intake. It was a pretty cheap one but it worked. I figured on the Sweat 1-2 I was doing about 480 calories. I used the watch this am and it said 502 calories. Pretty close but of course the watch is right:smile: Day 30 today of Power 90 back to level 1-2 unitl Day…

Thanks That is what I have been doing also. Your doing a great job and very motivating. Keep up the great work. Are you doing level 1-2? I am on 29 days and tried 3-4 last week.. I was not ready so I went back to 1-2 . Now it seems like I am doing 1-2 better because I know whats coming next... Have a good day

You should be so proud!! It is amazing what you have acheived and now how your story is motivation others.. including me!! I have been a Nurse for 26 years and see so many people struggle with weight. Your story is a gift to all. Your pictures are an added bonus to your story! I started about 26 days ago with exercise (…

It was so nice to find this conversation!! I am on day 26 of Power 90. I did about 20 days and Level 1-2 and then went to Level 3-4.. Too Soon.. I am now back on level 1-2 which I am putting more effort into. I am also doing the Shakelogy for lunch. At first it was very tough but now I am used to it. It has really helped…
