Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Weight - 149lbs

Breakfast- (Healthy) home fries with lots of veggies
Lunch - Pita pizza with veggies
Dinner - Smoothie
Snack - popcorn

Workout - 2hr bike ride outside

Still not much change this week. I am thinking about starting the p90x workout for the next 90days. My boyfriend did it a while ago and really toned up. I think I need to change up wheat I have been doing for a while and giving my system a little bit of a shock to get it going.

Yes! Changing it up is ALWAYS GOOD! The body adapts very quickly. So you should be changing things up every so often. And it doesn't necessarily need to be big changes. Changes in weight/reps/sets, types of exercises, workout splits, hand/foot positions, supersets & giant sets vs. straight sets, lifting to failure on some sets, rest-pauses on some sets, etc., will all help to keep the body guessing. But doing something completely different also helps.

So where are the pics so we can see what a difference a month has made? I kid, I kid, great job keeping up with your journal all month and sharing with us all. Hope to see you stick with it for yourself and also here on the forum as well. We all motivate each other. You are definitely approved for a prize package. Nice work!

Great job this past month, Stephanie! I can totally relate to the frustration, as I feel like my weight is stuck and won't budge either. My mom recently asked me, after not seeing her for some time, "How come you don't weight 100 pounds, for as good as you eat?" Haha, wow - thanks, Mom.

Anyhow, just keep at it. Eating clean and vegan is the right choice.

Thanks for all your participation this month! Hope you'll stick around the VB&F forum and continue to be a valuable member of the community!

All the best,
Karen

Yeah! So excited that I am getting a prize pack!! Thank you! I am actually going to post my progress pictures tomorrow.



I am still very frustrated though. I still have not seen a change in the scale...still that damn 149lbs every time! Like I posted before, I am doing P90x every morning to change things up so we will see if this makes a difference. I am really trying to lose 15-20lbs, I want to be down to 130lbs and a size 4. Last time I checked I was at 18% body fat which is pretty good but I am still not very happy with certain areas of my body.

I'll keep updating on my progress

Here are my current progress photos....30 days, not much progress (not that I have not been trying)

Sometimes progress takes a little time. Don't sweat it though, you already looked good even in the before pics

Keep at it, girl!!

I can definitely see a difference, despite the fact that the scale isn't moving. I'm sure your clothes are fitting better, as well. As Karen said, just keep at. But as I've mentioned before, make sure you're eating enough!!!! If you're not, believe me, that is the surest way to lower your metabolism, which makes weight (fat) loss extremely difficult.
