i am doing the new version of that book called strong by the same author. just started in phase 1 stage 1 workout A and B. boy is that book hard to understand!!!

im 5'2, about 45 pounds overweight and turning 40 next may. I am tired of aching every time I get out of bed, tired of feeling tired all the time, worried about becoming diabetic and very worried about my daughter who seems to be on the same track as I am. I have the 21 day for awhile now and I feel so stressed about it…

can I use the jilliam michaels dvd (skipping the cardio on my no cardio days) for a weight lifting program? or is it not enough..... ripped in 30

in the beginning (on week 6) my boyfriend drank a protein drink after outr p90x workout and i took nothing and boy oh boy did my muscle take longer to heal then his!!! then i started drinking chocolate milk, i cup, after the workout and i noticed that i was not as sore for as long as a time. i incorporate extra cardio into…

it seems like it huh. maybe i should tone it down some and then i wont get shin splints so fast or at all!

i'm back and really gonna make a go for it this time. i have started the couck 5k program before and i also by the end of week 2 have shin splints. its a great program and does work! i run on the treadmill at a 6.0 and walk at a 4.0 for the first week. when i have to run more and walk less, the walk goes to a 3.8 but i…

i have a heart rate monitor and i usually burn between 380 to 420 calories a class, mine is 45 minutes long too. it all depends on the effort i put into it. i would highly recommend picking one up.

and it is so gross! my tob abs are getting in shape and i can tell the difference but i can see my "extra skin" hanging in my oants! i get so discouraged.

my doctor has told me the same thing about my stomach. and i cry over it everyday! my youngest is 7 years old so i dont have the excuse that my stomach is still "baby fat". i HATE my stomach. doing sit-ups and all that work for my upper abs and i lose everywhere else but i cannot seem to firm up that area. losing weight…

i had an egg over medium and coffee

that is a GREAT question! i am wondering the same thing!!! i have been saving for cpsmetic surgery for a few years now to have a tummy tuck. even my doctor says that most people dont lose the flabby part of the stomach that happens after 2 c-sections and weight gain. my youngets is 7 so its not like i can still say "oh…

well, i weiged in this morning because i wanted to see the damage that i did over the weeked. i was surprise, stayed the same-173

quiet......time to do some quiet thinking. hhmmmmmm

i admire you! i HATE shred! and you do it 5x a week! awesome.

good morning, i didnt post my food this weekend because i would have been too embarressed:blushing: ! i really need to plan better, with my son in track and 2 baseball leagues and my daughter in swimming, i rely on fast food alot. but today is a new week and its going to be GRREEAAT:happy: how did everyone else do? hey…

does it really? i'll have to try that. if i was to take a whole apple (green) and slice it, how long in the microwave?

those sound amazing. i use cranberries but never thought about blueberies. how does that work? dried or fresh?

green leafy lettuce, 30z of dried cranberries, with 100g of with blue cheese or gorgonzola, with slliced almonds, and green onions. what a delicious salad. with the almonds it can get up there in the fat but since almonds are fantastic for you and cover your vitamins, i use them. i dont even use salad dressing because of…

only 1 pound :( 175 is my weight

geesh, i should look this up! i never heard about it till this site. i do the jillian shred (20 min) and tao bo workouts with yoga in the morning. do you need equipment for this dvd?

from what the scale told me this morning....horrible! yes, i did it some extra but nothing, NOTHING compared to what i normally would have eaten so how did i gain 4 pounds this weekend? WHAT! and since i was busy eating and getting ready for school tomorrow i havent done any grocery shopping so i am worried about after…

thanks for all the info. seems to be a 'personal choice' thing. i really dont have much of a schedule for exercise, do it when i can. i can get in at least 30 minutes of cardio on the gym before i have to pick my children up from daycare. i guess i could do something like...m,tu,w,th cardio only and fri and sun weight…

good morning black team! i misunderstood and thought weigh-in was on tuesday. this works out well for me because i lost an extra.5 pound which for this week will be a total of 4.5 pounds!

i am starting out in the weight, the machines are nautilus, and dont know how many reps and sets i should do. should i do the whole body work out with 1 set of 12-15 reps, then go back and do it all over again. kind of like in curves but without the running in between. or do i do 2/3 sets of reps? if i do the 2/3 sets, how…

good afternoon black team! i just found out i am on the blackk team...yeah! so how does this go? do i check in everyday with measurements and weight? i am really giving this a solid go this time. i didnt realize how big i got until i saw myself in a picture next to about 20 other people! i guess i got use to seeing myself…

i was a memeber of curves. its a great place to START, when you have no endurance, but once y ou pick it up you will find that it becomes more of a maintence program and there really isnt much room for improvement. that is how i feel about curves. are you thinking of joining? like i said, its great for a beginner....

good morning black team! i am somewhat confused because last week i started using this site and i thought i did real well with it. stayed under my my calorie goal, not by much, and worked out 4 times for at least 30 minutes on the treadmill. so i was a little upset when i got on the scale and saw that i was still 180.5!!!…

i was talking about the biggest loser dvd

oh my gosh-you are going to love them! what a workout!
