God, I am SO not new to this...
I dropped 60 lbs doing this chiz once. I've gained back 20-30, depending on the month. Most days I'm ok with that. But today, I'm all HELL NAW about it. So I logged back into my account for the first time in ages, and the feed is pretty quiet. Seems like I was the most successful when I had a more active feed. (Because,…

Howdy!
Hi! I'm Julie, but you can call me Jules. I'm rather new to the Body Beast program, and I thought it would be nice to have our own group to come to and discuss and ask questions, rather than sifting through the forums looking for posts. (Maybe I'm just lazy, though.) (OK, no maybes about it.) Anyway, always great to make…

Gather around for a story, kids...
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jules. (Well, she wasn't little. She was about 220 lbs. And she wasn't really a girl, she was a 30-something woman. But whatevs...) Jules found this awesome website called MyFitnessPal, and used it religiously, while living a lifestyle of healthy eating and regular workouts.…

Supplements
Do you use the Beachbody supplements recommended? Or some other kind of supplement? I'm currently not (other than protein bars and occasionally powders), but wondering if there's any real advantage to doing so.

Lean for Life or Start Over?
Long story short, I've had a bad year food-wise, thanks to health issues and making excuses. I'm on the last week of the lean phase, but I just haven't seen the results I could have otherwise seen. I FEEL them. I know I'm stronger. But as far as losing weight or inches, nothing. I want to continue with this program,…

Lean Phase...Whoa...
I just started the lean phase this morning. First of all, ouch! I haven't been this sore after a workout in a looooooooooooong time. Second, does an uncoordinated klutz like myself even stand a chance at being able to do these moves smoothly eventually? I felt like a bumbling fool. On a good note, I was actually able to…

*knock knock* *peeks in*
Anybody home? Hi! I'm Jules. I just started CLX this week, and I'm PUMPED! I've been working on losing weight for the last year, I'm down to the last 20 lbs I'd like to lose (maybe...we'll see when I get there), and I'm hoping this program will help me get there. This is the first time I've tried any kind of heavier…

Long time MFPer, first time introducer. And I like vodka.
Howdy! I'm Julie, but you can call me Jules. I've been on MFP for a while. Got really serious on March 4. I've lost 49 lbs since then, with 20-25 more to go...maybe....I'll see when I get there. But I'm finding that the closer I get to my goal, the harder it is to stay motivated. I'm finding myself in the mindset of "I'd…

Burnt. Out.
I am burnt the *@&! out. I've been doing really well. Since March, I've lost 41 lbs and went from a size 18 to a 12-14. I look better, and feel better. Been getting lots of positive comments and support from friends, family, and coworkers. But I'm so sick of counting calories. Worrying about how many calories I've had. How…

Can we talk poop for a minute?
When it comes to pooping and staying regular, all you hear is fiber...fiber...execise...fiber...water...fiber... Yeah, that's not doing it for me. The cleaner a lifestyle I lead, the harder it is for me to poop. Eventually, I'm going to have to resort to eating Taco Bell, since that manages to produce a movement for me…

Weighted stability ball
I got a weighted stability ball yesterday, and it came with a workout DVD. It says it combines cardio and strength training. Not sure how I should log this as exercise. If I include it as cardio, what should it be called?
