Congratulations... Keep up the awesome work...

Are you solidly sold on the working out at home? Maybe check out the book New Rules of lifting for women and see if that is something you may be interested in … I have heard a lot of women swear by it. That of course takes you away from the workout video completely... except when you want to augment your workouts. Also…

I have heard that slim in six is more of a beginner level which I am sure you have already passed. What type of results are you looking to attain?

Unsweetened Almond milk and 1 scoop of powder in the blender... add whatever fruit strikes your fancy.

A cheat day (or night) every once in a while will not kill your forward progress... go ahead and treat today as is last night didn't actually happen... then make tomorrow a new day. You may actually be surprised and drop some weight from last night. The body does things we don't believe...

The Red Line Zone 90% to 100% Training in this zone will only be possible for short periods. It effectively trains your fast twitch muscle fibres and helps to develop speed. This zone is reserved for interval running and only the very fit are able to train effectively within this zone. At 40 years of age I calculate your…

This is like a general rule of thumb for someone that is not in shape. When you are in shape you work up your MHR either by running it up to max and then calculating your zones or by basing it off of your RHR. For me specific my MHR is 172 as my RHR is 49. If I were to go off the 220 - age it would be 167 which may not…

Take a look at this website to figure out where you should be working out at: http://www.brianmac.co.uk/hrm1.htm I am 53 with a resting HR of 49 and I usually work out in the 150 - 165 range although I try to stay in the 150 - 160 range when I can... depending on the workout. Some days I have an anemic routine which…

Fantastic results, as they say... "keep pressing play"

Great results... you are doing a phenomenal job...

Have you lost any inches? People seem to have this love affair with the scale and the scale really doesn't tell the story when you are getting fit instead of simply dieting. A good bit of reference material for you would be the book "New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women" not that your S.O. isn't knowledgeable but take a…

Sounds Great...

I am the ultimate coffee snob... lol I use my own automatic espresso machine at home to make my coffee... saves a ton of money over going out for coffee...

I would think water aerobics would be low impact... just an idea... but I am not sure about diet pills but I am thinking Sensa may be useful.

Log everything... if you have to account for it you will be more willing to avoid the bad stuff. It is pretty difficult to log a slab of chocolate cake in your food diary on MFP and then complain when you don't lose any weight for the week... :smile:

LOL Just order a go box with your meal and halve it before you dig in. You will be left with one serving on your plate instead of a family portion.

Always... I have been working on this fitness journey for a year and have been at a place where I want to maintain since January of this year and I still weigh, measure and check serving sizes on the packages when I make myself something to eat. It is a life style not a bump in the road.

HAHA 25 days... this should be a life style change. You may not be doing the 30 DS for the rest of your life but you should be doing something to stay fit. Simply doing the 30DS and then calling it good when you reach day 30 will guarantee a return to the issues in life that set you on this path, there is no Easy Button…

You can do this... the trick is to just get up and do it... you will find after you are done that is really wasn't as bad as you were thinking it was going to be before starting. I sometimes don't feel like working out and I have been at this for a year but I get up and just do it, some of my best workouts have been on…

Women don't bulk up... if it didn't come with a book I would suggest looking on the website for the company that makes the machine and see if they have a workout booklet to follow. Just remember to work different muscle groups over the week.

Great Results...

Nothing to be scared about... just commit and go... you can always modify until you can nail it. :smile:

Awesome work, your results are deserving of much congratulations... Keep paying it forward and keep to the path. P.S. I have accomplished several rounds of P90X and have completed 1 round of P90X2... it is nothing like the X but is well worth doing. The balance moves are awesome. Give the X2 a go...

Awesome Progress...

bump

1. Measure and write it down 2. Take pictures so you can compare 3. The style of pants do make a difference... I went from pleated pants to flat fronts because pleats make you look bigger. (If you wear businss or business casual pants)

Coffee... gotta have coffee.... nothing like relaxing in the morning with a cup of Java... and like I've read here... 2 calories for a cup of black coffee... not an issue.

hmmm so say to them... so how many push-ups can you do???

Well I am a guy and I didn't lose a lot of weight like some people on this site... I dropped 35 pounds and built a lot of muscle but have heard all the lines about you’re too skinny; you are going to vanish into nothing you need to bulk up etc… all from family members. I was excited about my fitness journey and wanted to…
