Anyone tried Ultimate Yogi?
The 108 day program set. They call it the P90x of yoga ( which some roll their eyes at lol) but for me my flexibility is suffering and the structured calendar appeals to me because I am used to the Beachbody programs. I'd love to hear if anyone completed it, how did your flexibility improve? Did you lose any weight or…

Starting breakthrough 02/03/2014
Hi guys, Well, time to face the post-holiday reality. After superbowl that is :drinker: Anyone trying the "Breakthrough" edition? I had good success with the original book.

My Last 17
Ok here's the sitch: I have 7-9 lbs to ultimate goal weight. I don't know what magic there is in the 17dd but it works sooo well for my body, but as we all know a challenge to stock to. I don't care what the low- carb haters say, I always keep it off, no rebound at all. Then when I introduce more starches back in, boom…

Steph's T25 Journey
Hi Guys, I hope you don't mind if I do a navel-gazing (literally) thread? I do best when I have a daily check in, and can reflect on my progress, and I like looking back over time and seeing where I have come from. Feel free to post on this thread too! 7/19 - finally got T25 in the mail! After looking through the nutrition…

T25 test group
http://youtu.be/nL3fhMwVdUM Hey guys, the above is a youtube video I found by one of the coaches who did the T25 test group. She lost 15 lbs in 8 weeks. But it's worth watching because she talks about how she had to go a little above and beyond the nutrition recommendations in order to start losing weight. I think it's…

OMG my 5th day I feel amazing!
Hi Guys, New to Keto. I actually stumbled into it because I was attempting the "Whole30" (cleanse that eliminates grains, legumes, soy, dairy, peanuts, chemicals, artifical sweeteners, beans etc) and realized I was facing such low carb I might as well eliminate fruit and nuts for a few weeks. Backstory: I have been feeling…

egg "muffins" to avoid boredom

Pass this blog on to a teenage girl you care about: http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/mystory I just about cried when I read it. I have two daughters, and I am so concerned that they are going to have to deal with this kind of history. But this girl is amazing, she thrived, and now she is such a good example of healthy…

Confessional
Hi All - I am reading a book called Transformation, that discusses the inner changes that need to occur in order for outer transformation to occur. One of the chapters discusses how we hold on to secrets, embarrassing moments, and regrets, and we hold them on a cellular level, and they can subconciously hold us back from…

Stephanie's Body Revolution
Hi All, I really liked reading other people's BR journeys, so I decided to start my own thread, I hope that's okay? A little about me - I'm 37, 2 kids, and gained a ton of weight with both pregnancies. I've lost roughly 60 lbs of my pregnancy weight, but I keep hovering at around 10-15 from my final goal. I just did five…

Upping my fiber without adding too many carbs?
Hi All, I have been following a 40% protein ratio for awhile, because I find it works really well with my body for fat loss and satiation. However I have noticed over time that even eating veggies and fruit several times a day, I am under 10 grams of fiber per day. I know I need more for my health, however I don't want to…

PMS
OK, I am a slave to my hormones, I just tore into a genisoy peanut butter bar like I was a wild animal. Not exactly cycle 1 but better than the muffin I was craving. The beast must be fed! TOM is here any day now....then maybe I can be a normal human being again. Anyone else "lose it" around this time?

Slipped! Should I restart?
Ok I have been slowly getting off course and today was the worst. I am here to do a little assessment of what happened so I can prevent it in the future. This week TOM was coming. And now I am coming down with the flu while dealing with TOM and I was so exhausted I left work early and took a 4 hour nap. Having bad…

A super nerdy question for all you sciencey types
Ok sorry I am geeking out but it's 3am and I can't sleep. I have a question about fat cells I hope someone can answer: Let's say I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy, and on one particular day I ate a hamburger and my body deposited some excess fat in one particular fat cell in my abdomen. And lets say it is 9 years…

just got my BR - disappointed with food plan!
...not that I am surprised, it's typical Jillian. Very little actual nutritional advice, just a bunch of recipes. Her other books are the same. I wish she would take more time in her books to teach her clients WHY a certain recipe is good for them , not just "don't eat flax or strawberries", but eat tons of greek yogurt.…

Soreness...do you have advice?
Hi All, I haven't received my BR yet, but it's coming and I am so excited! My question for you is: I am nervous about working out on the second and third day due to soreness from the first day. You know what I mean, when you give your all and the next day you can't make it up the stairs because your butt is in agony lol?…
