I did them and they were right on for Disk 3. I don't know if I could have guessed the right weight; I think they were heavier than I would have selected on my own.

Hi everyone, I finished STS Disk 5 today. I defintely went to failure, but I seemed to recover pretty quickly. I was really beat after Disk 4, but not so much tonight. I think its all those push ups in Disk 4 that kick my butt. Am I complaining about not being exhausted? Someone kick...

Good morning WWers, Thought I'd give a quick check-in before I head to work. I'm having oatmeal & almond milk for breakfast. Tonight is Disk 5 of STS; I'm still feeling Disk 4 a bit in my shoulders <g>. Veronika, you asked yesterday about the new program. The new WW program isn't all...

Hi everyone, Gonnabea, I've been losing ~ 1.5 lb/wk for the past month by eating my daily points, my weekly points and about 1/3 of my activity points. I tend to maintain, rather than lose, if I eat all my APs. I think it probably varies from person to person how many of the APs you can eat...

Someone had suggested using a sturdy kitchen table as a pull-up tower (laying underneath grasping the edge of your table and pulling yourself up), however, I don't think mine is strong enough. You could do some push-ups.... [LOL while diving for cover]

Hello all, I was pleasantly sore this morning from STS Disk 4, unlike the AARGH sore from last week's legs. Today will be a rest day; I am going to the Theater tonight and am saving some points for a pre-show glass of wine. I'm seeing Pajama Game; its a musical. I had Eggbeaters this...

I agree with Kathryn. If you have easy access to the website, then you probably do not need the Guide. The Guide lists each of the exercises for each disk. Its a nice reference to have, but to be honest, I haven't used it much at all.

Hello WWers, MC, the important thing is that you get back on track from here.:D Today was good. I did STS Disk 4. Oh my gosh, those push-ups. I am ashamed to say that I finished a couple sets in table position and collapsed on the last set. My arms are shot. I warmed up dinner and it...

Exactly, you feel like you got a great workout even though it goes by so quickly.... well, maybe except when you're in the middle of the nth set of push-ups <g>

I'm doing two weeks of each mesocycle 1 week, so I've done Disk 1 twice. The first time was a killer, I did most on my knees, but had to go "granny style," as someone said above, for a few and ended up a rep or two behind at the end of the last few sets. The second time I did it, okay, it was...

I'm Not Fitgirl, but this really isn't very complicated once you go through it once. You use the 1RM calculator to determine and save your 1RM values (the amount you can theoretically lift only once) for each exercise. You will never actually be lifting your 1RM. The Workout Manager...

Way to go on your 4 AP. Steel cut oats are cut rather than rolled, like we're used to with Quaker oats. My experience is that they generally take longer to cook; I cook mine in a rice cooker usually, and they have a slightly chewier quality. They are good. They're whole grain and I...

Welcome Carrie and Veronica! Veronica, I think you need to find a healthy way to eat that works for you, or you won't keep up with it long term. Carrie, I agree with you about the importance of accountability. Keep us updated. MC, I have 49 lbs to goal now; I've lost 5.4 since I...

An hour is amazing. With some retesting when I went over 12-13 reps and breaks between sets, I did all the 1RM testing in three 1 1/2 hour sessions, so 4 1/2 hours total.

Minimally I think you could get away with a full size step to double as a bench, your adjustable dumbbells, a stability ball, a band (these you can find cheap), tubing with the door attachment (or an Iron Gym or other pull up bar; I'm using tubing) and some paper plates. Later, you could add...

Good morning all, Today was my weigh-in and I lost 1.4 lbs. Whoo hoo. I'm having oatmeal with almond milk this morning and packed a salad with Walden Farm dressing, leftover roasted cauliflower and asparagus and 3 oz. of broiled salmon for lunch, along with a pear and apple for snacks...

Hi, I'm so glad you started a WW check-in! I've been in the online WW since the first of the year and would love a group to help keep me on track. I have about 50# to lose, ultimately. I lost it two years ago with WW, but have also gained it back. Staying motivated seems to be my problem...

I just finished Disk 3 and I swear my butt is sore in places it has never been sore before. I didn't realize that my behind had distinct regions, each now with a different kind of ache, until tonight.

I agree that it would be great to have the Disk number, or the Week and Day, on the Worksheet. I noticed that today too while trying to organize my worksheets that it was going to be difficult to tell the workouts apart if I didn't put the disk number on them.

I did Legs yesterday also and I couldn't finish them either (head bowed in shame). So many of the exercises were different than I'm used to and require a good deal of balance/stabilization.... just beat me up <g>. I'm sure I got a good workout even though I didnt' quite make it all the way...
