Same. I thought it was just me at first.

Looking for more competitors to motivate me and add to my group. I'm ready to loose this weight once and for all.

cool! Thank you. :smiley:

HITT is a good to do on a empty stomach?! I do recall the last time I tried that, I almost passed the hell out. Never again. haha!

Whoa!! you look amazing! Congrats on your progress. :) I love lifting weights but for a women, i hate when I look so bulky. I mean it is better than being fat but ugh, I just don't like it. My body naturally bulks up, and quick too so now I'm focusing on cardio 5x a week and do some body weight workouts. I hope that works.

I 100% agree with you. Only from my own experience. After my first pregnancy I gained 250lbs. The first week I would do cardio and not lose a thing until I started eating breakfast. When I skipped breakfast on top of burning over 500 cals a day, my body hit a plateau. Starvation mode is real. Eventually I got down to my…

last night i decided to ditch the workout above and go back to my old compound workouts and kettlebell (basic) workouts too. My diet and not enough cardio is why i didn't see results before but now I'm gonna incoroprate it all together. Thank you Frankj3rd. :wink:

you are absolutely right about it being too slow. You reminded me of an article I came across last year which was explaining the same thing. for anyone else who needs some guidance see the link below. I'm gonna try this routine out along with the cardio this week. Thank you rick_po. :smile:…

thank you for reply to my post. Now I' m ready to just have fun. . :wink:

it's all good! :)

I wasn't a member of beachbody. this was a freind from a old job who lost tons of weight and now a coach so she wanted me to join. I never believed in those things but now it seems like everyone is doing it, seeing results, and hasn't gained the weight back. I for one, can not afford that shake but I wanted to know your…

I'm actually taken back at how much calories I'm suppose to eat now then compared to previous weightloss journeys . I was sure something was wrong with their machine, or I should of fast for 5 hrs instead of 4 hr before taking the test, or something. But at the same time I figured I did the test correct because at 1500…

haha! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who seen these "competitors" when there's no race going on. Anywhere. lol

groaning and grunting is what I do too during my lifting sessions. how in the hell are you suppose to be silent when you're giving i your all? But then you those are so overly obnoxious with their grunts its ridiculous. They're basically screaming for attention.

hahah! I was thinking the same thing.

I'm 5'3, starting weight was around 234 lbs. Currently I weight 155 (or 154) and my goal is 140. When I did my first metabolic testing at a wellness center, I told them my goal was 120-130 lbs. She basically said I would look too skinny and unhealthy if I went that far down because of my body composition. I want to look…

I was just telling my husband 5 yrs ago I want to have the knowledge of healthy eating and exercise routine as a habit NOW not later in my 40's or 50''s. It's much harder to break bad habits the older you get. Power to the ones who can lose tons of weight without much effort. More power them. But like you said I know I…

hahaha!! yes it is but I just put on my brace and jump rope 2x a week. I love that workout!

awesome! i have noticed journaling helps me alot too. the minute i stop i gain the weight back. I do like the high protein meals. thank you for the invite. i'm always open to new ideas. :)

i just started doing that last week. eating the same breakfast and lunch everyday but i changed it up this week. some think its boring but i feel like i can better track my calories and get into a habit of know what portion sizes is suppose to look like. so far I've lost 2 lbs. :)

exactly! I feel like if you think you're body doesn't change from 19 yrs to 40yrs old you are in denial. you body changes, slows down as you age. that is a known fact. but it's about changing your mindset. just because i can't say jump rope like i used to doesn't mean I quit working out all together. but it's good to…

sooo true!!!

haha! My pet peeve are "the competitors." I would do intervals on the elliptical but minute I start going all out for that 30 seconds, suddenly I see "Mr/Mrs Me too" jumping on the elliptical on the side of me pumping so fast to match my pace. Once they realize I'm doing intervals they get off. The same happens when I'm in…

omg! I felt the same way after having my first child. Before kids I wouldn't care what i ate but then when we move overseas EVERYTHING changed. I am way more focused and concerned about my personal health as I age gracefully. Thank you! :)

Wow i never thought of it that way. I was always the hourglass shaped girl in high school and college but once I had my kids whoa my body changed big time. I am so happy to here you will never give u and you keep moving forward. Keep up the good fight. I'm rooting for you all the way! :)

you are so right and thank you! I remember how i felt after losing my first 70lbs after my first child and can't wait to get back to that.

i agree. 1500 calories is not enough if I'm burning 500. But is why when i log in the days I workout out myfitnesspal will increase my calorie intake. I remember early on in my journey of my body going in starvation mode because of my low intake. That was over 6 yrs ago and i did it again. Trail and Error. I love weight…

thank you! Best believe quitting was never in the cards and I'm learning value of patience.
