Feel free to add me peeps! I'm a FTM to an 8 week old baby girl and I started working out this week....had to wait because I had a c-section. I'm giving myself a year to lose the 40 pounds I need to get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm hoping to do it in less than 12 months though!

I tend to hate snark on these here forums....but LMAO... I was sure when I saw the title on my sidebar this would be a joke post in Chit Chat, Fun, and Games

I try to have no more than 1200 mg daily....

Oatmeal!!

So many options... Wear your hair up.... Wash your hair daily... Buy one of those Save You "Do thingamajigs from saveyourdo.com... Wear a braid/twist out... I personally prefer to wear my hair in a bun...simple and hassle free.

So I'm in my third week of doing workouts 9 and 10, and things have gotten much better. Three and a half weeks ago I was CRYING because I was in so much pain trying to do the moves. There are certain moves I still can't do.....boat pose, and that "plank up" move mentioned above, I can't forget about the Rockstar squats. I…

Bumping for later

I can't do a boat pose to save my life, my form is so off because my tailbone is always KILLING me while doing it!

Things are finally becoming "easier", especially since I start with Cardio 3. I'm getting more burn than I ever have and I think I may be able to do Cardio 3, Workout 9 & 10 tonight!

It's actually quite possible, you've changed your lifestyle and it can come off that quickly. When I first started my journey I lost 8 pounds in four days by simple calorie reduction...limited my sodium and increased water. I couldn't believe it!

I took Diurex (non-caffeinated) and developed a rash on my face because of it! I did notice that it made me go more though... I'd honestly suggest just drinking at least a gallon of water daily....it'll get rid of any water you're retaining.

I'd be fine with size 10, great with an 8

In between two chips ahoy cookies, yep....

Excellent and amazing work!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who will need three weeks of workouts 9 and 10!

Yep! Phase 3 is a MONSTER! For the past couple of days I've cried during the workouts because I couldn't figure out for the life of me why I was in such pain and so drained! I figured it out though....instead of doing Cardio 3 last, I do it first and then I do Workouts 9 or 10.....yesterday was a "breeze" and no tears shed!

Oatmeal with strawberry preserves and agave.

I had the non-hormonal IUD and it was AWFUL. I suffered from bad cramps and they became so unbearable I literally wanted to just rip my uterus out. My flow which was very heavy at the time became a RIVER. Also, my period would last DOUBLE the amount of time as usual.....needless to say it was removed.

Workouts 9, 10 and Cardio 3 are just SOO brutal! I'm not a wuss, but I've shed a tear for the past couple of days while doing Cardio 3....yeah it's that bad to me! Crab kicks....WTH!!!! They all do it with such ease....just bouncing up and down, it's a chore for me to even LIFT my leg while doing it! But I do it....guess…

Hahaha glad to know people dislike Sari as much as I do! Omar....I used to LOVE him back when he was a dancer for Janet Jackson! He's incredible! David and Kent....man I was wish I had their jumping ability! They can jump like 4 feet off the ground lol

I am on Phase 3: Week 9 Day 5. Workouts 9, 10 and Cardio 3 are SO hard...in my opinion! With the other phases I was able to do three workouts (for example: Workout 5,6, and Cardio 2) by the second week...with this phase...NOPE! I can only manage two workouts now. I seriously can't imagine what workouts 11 and 12 are like.…

I was in the same boat, over a week of not exercising and eat crap food = DOUBLE digit weight gain. I'm hoping the majority is water...as it is slowly coming off now. You just have to jump back on the horse and get back to your exercising and healthy eat plan! You can do it....I'd suggest exercising in the morning to get…

EVERYTHING in workouts 9, 10 and Cardio 3 is a challenge!!! It's insane. I honestly think I'll have to do weeks 9 and 10 again...cause I just can't imagine 11 and 12!

I'm beginning Week 9 today!

LMAO

Excellent job!

Unfortunately I didn't take any measurements prior to starting the program, but I did lose 11 pounds in my first month on the program. Due to some bad choices I gained in the second month (water weight mostly) that was difficult to lose! But even though there wasn't loss like in the first month....I can just see the…
