I didn't have money to purchase extra stuff so my husband took a milk crate and added carpet on it for the step. It served its purpose. I also used dumbbells since I did not have a barbell. I used a stability ball for the slanted step. I also used a towel or paper plates for gliders.

I did 3 rounds of STS with just dumbells 5, 8, 10, 15 pounds. No barbell. I used a stability ball for the slanted risers and the tubing for the chin ups. I got really good results from it doing it that way and did not go to the gym. I lost 45 pounds without having a the "extra" stuff. Do it...

I was in Wal-Mart about a month ago and one of the lady's passing out candy samples asks me if I want to try one. I politely say, "No thanks, I don't eat candy". She states back, "You need to, you're too skinny!" So, if I was at the opposite spectrum and too fat would she have said I couldn't...

Hey Alisha- I was training for a figure competition so I eliminated a LOT. No fruits for one. Too much sugar for what I was training for. I was eating a tablespoon of peanut butter and that was eliminated too...even though I made my own. No nuts. Egg whites no yolks. No yogurt. Sorry...

Hey Nancy- I'm no "expert" but I too had those problems. Cardio, cardio, cardio, weights and eating clean are the way to go! The knee fat went away with stairmaster 45 minutes 5-6 times a week. Triceps....well, they took a while but one day I looked down and Bam, no more fat! Vary your...

I kind of skipped a few pages. Did you ever up your cardio? When I was training for my first figure competition I was doing 45 minutes 6 days per week on the stairmaster. I know I am not an expert but I always had big flabby arms and thought I'd never be the girl who had nice looking...

Got this off another web site: Additional nutrients involved in mood support 5-HTP sometimes has an effect within hours and is best suited for those whose low mood is related to serotonin deficiency. SAM-e a powerful nutrient that starts working within hours but should not be used by those...

New Orleans would be great!!! I second the idea!

I picked isuretri in 2004 when I was training for a triathlon. I wanted to make sure that I tried every day!

I am a firm believer that eating clean is 90% of getting great results. Check out my transformation under the spotlight. The before pic was taken July 5, 2010 and my stage pic was on may 21, 2011. It is possible to lose the fat and get muscle. I eat extremely clean because of the...

Just like with quiting anything (like smoking), you have to WANT to do it. If you don't decide that this is what you want, then you probably won't do it. Unlike most of the others, I quit all my bad "snacking" habits at once. I did give myself a treat of sugar free pudding and fat free cool...

I submitted my transformation story yesterday after I stepped on stage for the first time in a figure competition. I can't believe that my story was posted!!!! I'm so happy. But, I just want to be the person that says to those out there how think it can't be done- YES IT CAN!!!! I'm living...

I owned STS and purchased Chalene Extreme. I returned Chalene Extreme because it was too much like STS and I LOVE STS so much more!

I am certainly no expert! I am training for a figure competition (3 weeks out) and am 40 years old, 5'5" , 115 pounds and at 13.5% body fat. I'm trying to get down between 10-12% but that is for figure competing.

I've done several rounds of STS and I still use my dumbbells that I have. With money being tight, I had to use what I had. I still have gotten great results!!!

Stevia I use NOW brand of Stevia which tastes good. I found it at a health food store. I also like Sweetleaf Stevia. The problem I have with the NOW brand is that I find it clumps up easily and appears wet. The Sweetleaf brand hasn't had that problem. Either one of those taste good without...

I did not have the shot. I wore the night splint and that seemed to help after some time. This happened about 5 years ago and I've not had any problems since then.

My husband and I met on an Christian on-line site. We have been happily married over 9 years. We met on-line May 14. Met face-to-face July 5. He proposed that weekend and we married July 28. You have to know what you are looking for in a potential husband. I think on-line is a wonderful...

Welcome Jessica! I know you are going to love it here. So much good advice and support!!

I did STS after shoulder surgery. I started out very light using water bottles as my weights. For push-ups, I did the table top version. I didn't have much arm strength before my surgery let alone after. Once you get comfortable doing these things again, you can decide if you can go up. You...
