Strength Invtervals
Good morning and happy Sunday MFPeeps! Today is my first day of Strength Interval classes. Who has done these yet? What to expect??

Week 3
So today started week 3 for me and the second to last Define class. Now it's time to really get down to business! I've been adding in cardio pretty much every day and this week I plan to be more consistent with my weight training also. Needless to say, I can't wait until Friday to hop on the scale (although that's not what…

Week 2
Hello Week 2! This morning I did Sweat, then did a little weight circuit this afternoon. I weighed in this morning just for funsies, and was down almost 2 lbs from Friday (though nothing is official for me until Friday) so that was definitely awesome to see! I am feeling longer and leaner after only 8 days of PiYo and am…

Define - Upper & Lower Body
Okay, so who else thinks that these two classes could be put together? They both are roughly 20 minutes running time on the DVD's so I feel like they really should just be put together for one nice 40 minute long class. Last night I just did lower body plus 20 minutes on my elliptical to really get in a good sweat session.

Rest Day
Today was day 5 for me, which means Rest Day. I missed Wednesday's workout so I did doubles yesterday (Sweat and Upper Body) and took today off as per the schedule. Tomorrow will be Lower & Upper combined and Sunday I'll probably just do cardio as my workout, or maybe my bonus dvd, Hardcore on the Floor. Not sure which…

If there's anyone else out there currently getting ready to start PiYo or is only a few days in, I'd love for you to join this thread. I'm looking for 5-10 ladies who are interested and I'd like to get a group of us going on here! Feel…

Define - Upper & Lower Body
So what are your thoughts on these 2 classes? I feel like they could really be combined into one, 40 minute class instead of two 20 minute sessions.

Day 1 - The Fundamentals
Align - The Fundamentals This is the most important class of PiYo! Learning the moves and Chalene's cues so you know how to modify and what it is she's talking about. I personally watched through the DVD once then followed through and did the exercises with her on screen so I wasn't straining my neck to try and see what it…

New to Message Boards!
Hi there!! While I'm not new to MyFitnessPal, I am fairly new to the message boards. I've only just recently really started reading posts on a regular basis. I wanted to take a second to introduce myself! My name is Amanda and I've been on my weight loss journey going on 3 years (anniversary is 1/1/15). I've lost 60+ lbs…

Stomach pain after cardio workout?
Does anyone else notice a stomach pain after working out? It seems after any intense cardio I do I get a slight pain in my lower abdomen. Just wondering if I'm the only one...

Watching Sugars
I've recently started trying to really watch my sugar intake. I follow a woman on Instagram who is two weeks "sugar free" (keeping her sugar intake under 10g/day. Her pictures show amazing progress from how her stomach looks in the morning and how it looks in the evenings with hardly any sugar, no bloat at all. I find…

Eliminating Sugar?
I've been on a plateau for quite some time and a woman who I follow on Instagram has recently eliminated sugar from her diet. This got me thinking that maybe I should give this a shot and see if it cant Rev things up for me. She has had great success with this in the past and already she is seeing great results. Has anyone…

I live in the Lake County area and am going to sign up for the 5k race in Santa Rosa, CA on May 18th. Just looking to see if there's anyone else in the same area that's also going to join in on the fun! I'm new to the running scene and looking for new friends!

feet going numb?
I just started C25K two weeks ago and while I'm running my right foot goes numb in the toes. I know I know, go get fitted for running shoes... I am on a very tight budget and cant. I have a pair of Nike frees and a pair of Nike alvalord. I use the frees to workout in and the others for hiking and such. Have any of you…

BINGE EATING!!!!!
I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, and it is a SERIOUS problem! I can be sooooo good all day long, and then after dinner I just want to eat everything in sight. I'm not even hungry, I just feel like I HAVE to eat. I know it's all in my head, and I've tried every trick in the book. It doesn't matter if I go…

C4?
Has anyone tried the preworkout supplement C4? I'm looking for something to give me a little boost to power through my TurboFire workouts as they are very intense. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

TurboFiree month 1...plateau
So I'll be finishing up my first month of turbofire this week and I'm a little disappointed. I haven't lost any weight, in fact the scale is fluctuating up and down 2 lbs or so. I'm starting to get discouraged! I'll be taking measurements and progress pics at the end of this week so I'm really hoping I'll notice a change…

Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanse???
Has anyone ever tried this?? I just saw it on Pinterest and was curious... I just bought a giant bottle of it! The recipe I saw is 1.5 cups vinegar in 1 gallon of water to drink throughout the day.

Just Ordered TurboFire
So I just ordered TurboFire online and it should be here within 3-5 days. I'm really excited/nervous for it to get here. I will be following the 90-day cardio conditioning program! Was just wondering if any ladies out there with the same stats as me have had great results? 21 y/o 5'7" 173 lbs (goal 140ish (still deciding))

I know you can't spot reduce, but...
I know you can't spot reduce. I know that the weight will come off wherever it pleases. It's just so discouraging some days!! I've been at this since the beginning of the year and have lost 35 lbs. I'm very proud of that and how far I've come and I'm half way through this journey, but dang it I wish my tummy would get…

Half way there and 30 lbs gone.
So I've been on this journey since January 1, 2012. It's been a roller coaster for sure. I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Here are a few pictures. I don't have many before shots because I hated my body in pictures. This first one is me at a baby shower last June around 210 lbs. Now here is me about a month into my…

MACROS??
How do you guys keep track of these? It's so hard for me... I'm always over on my sugars, even when I try to be good about it! I feel like if I can get ahold of this then I might have even more success. Any help?

Fitocracy??
I've heard a few things about it... Any of you MFP-ers in on it and want to share some knowledge?

Biggest Loser Power Sculpt?
I found this dvd in my cupboard last week and decided to give it a go this afternoon. Was definitely low key enough for me to do (I'm recovering from having my wisdom teeth out and am finally feeling back to normal, but didn't want to over do it by jumping right back into my normal "routine"), but still got a good sweat…

Wisdom Teeth Out on 8/17/12
Any suggestions on soft and HEALTHY foods I can eat over the weekend? I'm going to stock up on some Yoplait, but I'm not sure what else I should get. Not a huge soup fan, but I'll probably get a few cans for dinner or something. Any suggestions would be much appreciated :-)

Plateau
I'm 20 y/o, 5'7" and 185.0 lbs. I've hit a bit of a plateau it seems. I've been doing 30DS and only have 2 days left, but it seems as if my body has adjusted to the routine and I'm not seeing any progress now. I'm getting an elliptical at the end of this month (it's on layaway at Kmart), but I know I need to incorporate…

Russian Twists?
Is there another term for them? Tried entering it into my strength database and it says no results found?? I used an 8 lb medicine ball while doing them...
