I was diagnosed almost two years ago and my levels have been great but I haven't been able to lose any weight. I work out consistently with both cardio and weight lifting and watch what I eat but for 2 years my weight has been exactly the same. A friend suggested going gluten free because hypothyroidism and gluten…

This group is what keeps me going. If I miss I few days I jump right back in because I know I'm not a lone. Love it!

I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!!! I'm on week 7 this week....wish I were further along but getting sick threw me off a couple weeks. Having people doing that same work out is such a motivator for me!

Lindsey, check out this link.... http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-bizzy-diet.html I'd love to move forward as a group too! When I got sick before I would have quit but you guys motivating me helped me get my rear in gear and back in the gym!

I honestly don't know. Sometimes I can power through a cold and sometimes like the one I had last week I just lay down in bed and call the whole thing off. I hope you feel better soon!

I think I'm going to go with the bizzy plan when I finish live fit. I'm running a half marathon in June and that program would leave more time to train for that. Thanks for sharing it!!

I do 2 sets with one to failure as well.

Thanks for the encouragement! Boy did I need it! I am pretty sure by Friday I will be ready to go and I'll just start week 6 over again. Week 6 was fun anyhow so I'm okay with repeating it.

I just made the lemon protein bars and the carrot cake ones. I'm not a big fan of how stevia and how sweet it makes everything taste and I even used 1/4 cup less than what it calls for. Has anyone else used any of the other sweeteners?

I am not looking forward to the plyometrics! I'm not a big fan of jumping let alone doing it in front of everyone in the gym. Grace is NOT my middle name!

I really wish I were better about sticking to the eating plan. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to that. I definitely see a change in how hard my muscles are and I'm seeing a definition in my arms. I know if I ate better I would be seeing a lot better results. Darn loving food so much! :-)

I just finished the first week of phase 2 and it isn't as bad as it looks. It requires more time in the gym for sure and I had to break up weights and cardio. I do weights first thing in the morning and cardio when I get off work.

I think as long as you are doing something repeating a phase wouldn't be bad. I went into this looking it as a life style not a program that I had to complete so if I ever have to go back and repeat a week or phase it won't derail me. Phase 3 is intense! Of course by the time you get to the end of phase 2 you might be…

I just realized I skipped that in my work out. Darn it!

The abs this week kicked my booty! WOW!!

I'm not following her meal plan to a T either. I'm just using it as guidance and eating as clean as I can. I stick to eating as many meals as she says but I'm not a big meat eater so I'm getting my protein from other stuff.

I did the donkey calf raises when I got home from the gym. I just couldn't bring myself to do it there even with my husband.

When I made them sometimes I crumbled them on my salad and other times I dipped them in buffalo sauce because I might be just a wee bit obsessed with it. I am pretty sure I could drink it! I've been planning to make the protein bars but just haven't gotten around to it.

You can also get on your hands and knees and hook/place a weight in the crook of your knee and raise your foot up towards the ceiling. You can't go as heavy with that but it will still work your hamstring.

I've decided that this is a lifestyle not just the program that I'm doing so if I miss a day I'm just adding it onto the next week. If I have time I would double up work outs but that isn't always going to happen.

I'm so impressed you did all 3 this morning! You're awesome!

I hope you feel better soon! I hate getting sick especially when you're on a roll with a work out!

I am in week 4 and I've been doing cardio since week one. This is the second time I've started this program (sadly I didn't finish last time). The first time followed it exactly like it's written, this time throwing I'm throwing in 3 or 4 days of cardio. Honestly I'm seeing just as great of results this time around as last…

I love that you renamed the meals! Something about afternoon tea seems so much more fun!

Yea for collarbones! I hope your day gets better!!

That's fantastic! I can't wait until I get to phase 3!

That was a crazy leg work out. In my gym the weight room is upstairs and my legs were shaking so bad I thought I was going to fall down the stairs. I was wondering how the lemon bars were. I'm going to make those tomorrow!

The first time I started this program after the first month I got on the scale and nearly died, I had gained 5lbs. I could see a huge difference in my body but I let the scale derail me and I quit. I suggest staying off the scale until at least after phase 2. Go by what you see in the mirror, not the numbers!

I increased upper body but went a little lighter than last week on my lower. I was so sore after last weeks leg work out I couldn't walk! I like being sore but when you can't even roll over in bed I draw the line :laugh:

Welcome back!
