My ex used NO Explode and loved it. I use Fast Twitch by Cytosport which is very similar and my Lord does it work for me! I call it 'crack' because it gives me energy like nothing else. I can do a full HIIT session (or sometimes 1 hour of cardio such as cycling) and still have energy to do...

Well, I've been a member for a while - but I went AWOL a while back, lol. Glad to say that I'm baaaaaaaaaack! I learned so much from you ladies in the past, and am eager to learn more!

I'll be there too. I was supposed to compete, but slacked on my training, so I'll be observe it!

So I'll regain my sanity the second time around. There's something to look forward to!

So I had the craziest dream last night - I came across a truck full of groceries and went crazy when I saw that half of it was full of none other than protein powder! I think that was the happiest I've ever been in a dream . . . and I don't even drink protein shakes that much! :p I think I'm...

I'm getting my bf% measured later this week, so I'll better understand what's going on then. I'll be upping my weight training - don't want to lose any of my precious muscle!! I'm doing this because I LOATHE cardio and figured that with a goal such as this, I would have no choice but to move...

So, I'm now training for my first 15K (10 Mile) race which is going to be April 2. I've been training for about 2 weeks now, running between 1 and 3 miles 5 days a week. My mileage ups a little at at a time, so eventually, I'll be up to 8 miles right before race day. I can totally see a...

OMG, she's so tiny and cute!! AWWW! Congrats Daisy!

Hi Everyone, I saw this in another forum and thought I'd repost it here. Sorry if this is a repeat post, but I found it helpful since eating the right foods has been the most challenging thing for me. Feel free to add your own foods to the list and/or even give your opinions as to why certain...

Way to go! I'll be on the lookout for the issue.

Thanks you guys, I feel better now ;) Whenever I get my bf tested again (which should be soon) I'll start a new thread on my progress.

I haven't tested my body fat in a while and I'm planning to do so in about 2 weeks. Although I can see some difference in muscle gain, I don't think I've lost alot of fat %-wise. I'm not really that stressed. Stressed about being broke, but that's nothint out of the ordinary lol. Since I...

Hi ladies, I have a question. When you (personally) lose body fat, does your period get out of whack? How does your body react? I ask because my period is late by a little over a week, and no, I'm not pregnant - I took a test and everything. I am good health according to the check up I had a...

Those are great results. I like how you even scheduled your cheat meals . . . think I'll have to use that strategy myself. :verygood: All of you ladies on this board are such an inspiration!

Thank you all for your responses. I've been tracking what I eat in a journal AND on fitday - fitday has been a huge help in pointing things out to me (such as the fact that I don't eat enough protein).
