  • I just started week 2 of the PreTraining Sessions, I do yoga so I agree with some of the comments about using body weight as a tool! I love it! I'm def sore! Can't wait to complete this week! I'm also not using the HELP guide, as I have a pretty good idea on what works for me as far as nutrition and plus Internet helps as…
  • This^ .....
  • I agree with most here, yoga is def a type of resistance training - I would know...I practice 7times a week and I myself have found myself toning up without having to lift a single weight at a gym..... A lot of people underestimate the strength required to pull off a few yoga moves...especially if she likes to experiment…
  • Agreed....I used to be the same way but realized quickly that there is no such thing as ONE ideal weight....For instance in my case, my range is from 92-95lbs ....I'm happy with anything in between ..anything over THAT, that's when I start to panic but quickly get back into my "normal". I don't think you should weigh…
  • likewise! I buy little dark Hershey kissies and then eat one when I'm craving, which is usually all I need... :)
  • Agreed. I would tell them basically the same...." just had lunch/breakfast/dinner, but I'll def take some to go!..." This way, you take the offering (thus, not offending anyone) and you don't have to eat it in the end.... :)
  • I'm glad I'm hearing this bc I don't feel so alone anymore in this world lol! I also went through a little transformation about 2 years ago and have been able to maintain my weight at a descent 93-95lbs, I am 4'11. I hear it ALL THE TIME... "You're so skinny, stop trying to lose weight" blah blah blah..... for some reason…
  • Well Chocolate (kit kat ) = sugar, while bread (wheat bread) has descent amount of fiber, healthy carbs and a bit of protein. So in the end, you may be having the same amount of calories but you have to decide whether your ok with the extra sugar in your diet or if you would prefer to put those calories to good use by…
  • Agreed! If it works for you - GREAT! If it doesn't then DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT! I can't do it, I prefer my 3 meals a day and IF and that's only IF I do happen to get hungry during the day I'll have a snack but 5 small meals a day is def not for me! I tried doing this for a while and I pretty much ended up over-eating....I…
  • I agree, your either eating a little over your recommended calorie intake or it could be that although your doing a descent amount of exercise (time-wise), maybe the level or intensity of the actual exercise isn't as high as it should be in order to burn enough calories needed to lose the weight. If so, try pushing…
  • I agree with this...this is what I do as well...I eat before, when I get to the place, say "oh no thank you,...." and I try not to make a big deal about it. If they ask why for whatever reason, I'll say something like "had a big lunch" or "I was munching earlier and I think it ruined my appetite" or "...not right now,…
  • Right!! Thank you for the advice everyone! I guess I could try some weight lifting! I love inversions so I spend a lot of time upside down lol which is how I was able to get this far to begin with. I think I def should try different variations and experiment a little more with my poses ! And yes I will include a little…
  • About 3-5 lbs....I always over-estimate myself. I suppose it wasn't too bad considering that I enjoyed myself and did not feel uncomfortable NOT eating what everyone else was eating at the dining table. I also had plenty of sweets and a few drinks of course! I should be able to burn this off in the next week or so. I…
  • That is what I do as well, before I order I try to look up the same dish (whatever chain or brand) with the highest calorie count, to be on the safe side!
  • Just stick with it, it really does help you! I have lost 15 lbs so far! :) Good Luck!
