Hey ladies!! I'm glad you got this started this week!! Tracy - Way to go on that endurance weights workout! I haven't thought about just doing it with lighter weights on rest week...interesting! Steph - I would think M3 would be difficult 2x per week so I will be interested to see how...

Hello. If I had to guess I would say that your calories are too low. You are working out quite a bit and 1200-1300 calories might not be enough which can cause your body to hold on to extra weight. I would check on line for a good website for calculating caloric needs - one that will figure...

For people that don't like to count cals, I love recipes that already have all of the breakdowns!! :D For me, I pick two or three meals that I want to eat during the week and make them on Sunday and figure out the calories for each serving. Then those are the meals that I eat Mon-Fri for...

Hey Stephanie! I do feel like I am leaning out and building muscle but honestly I feel it in my clothes...the scale hasn't moved a bit. I feel my pants getting loser around my waist and my sleeves getting tighter, especially in the shoulder. I am excited about that! (Larger shoulders =...

Hey Stephanie! I bought this book a few weeks ago and read it. I thought it had some great information in it. I haven't done the actual workout, also making my way thru STS, but I did use the formulas for figuring out what my caloric intake should be and it has made a big difference for...

I had never really thought to ask about this on this forum so I'm glad you asked Laura! I had back surgery in July and am not sure even how to describe how the muscles feel even now 5 months later. This is my first major surgery so I don't know what I should be expecting but it has been tough...

Thanks Kathryn. I have borrowed a Garmin Forerunner from my brother and you are right it is bulky...I do love the information it provides though... I guess I will just have to keep looking! Thanks again! Natalie

Hey girls! Okay - so I didn't get to setting up my workout space yesterday. Poop! So, today I think I'm going to take advantage of the nice weather and the walking trails that are in our new neighborhood and go for a run. We'll shoot for a nice 45 minute jog! Then later today hopefully DH...
