Yes thank you!!! It was the clean and jerk video..but they were doing it a tad differently. What is that good for?

I was just curious what this is called. I will describe it the best I can lol. It starts with a barbell on the ground, the person squats down and picks it up, then throws it ( hands still holding on to it) mid body, then tosses it ( hands still holding on) above their head, and then back down. Really fast, throwing motions. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the responses!! Kareno- I use sparkpeople.com s nutrition tracker. Mj- I have such a love for the smith machine.. I feel like I am not gonna fall over, or drop weights on my head or foot lol..but after reading these, I am convinced to give them up, and try it the regular way!! I am always worried about proper form, but will check into videos of form before attempted to do them without the smith. Thanks for taking the time to reply!!

I've also been thinking about how crappy my diet is. Ive always been a compulsive/emotional over eater..which is how I got to be about 300 pounds I'm very thankful that I've learned to see and treat food differently, but I still have rough days. I haven't been the same since around Christmas time. I got lazy, stopped counting all my macros, etc. I decided today that I am going back to tracking everything, as well as only allowing myself to eat every 3 hours. No exceptions, unless its a very special circumstance. This should combat all of the reckless bored eating

Thanks Dylan!!!! What an amazing opportunity. I find myself addicted to this forum, and what a great addiction lol!! Ive just inspired two friends to get a gym membership with my boyfriend and I. They are a couple as well. We have been working out together the past few days, and its been such a blast! Today its snowing like crazy, but it was leg day. I did a ton of legg exercises using body weight + an exercise ball.

Squats ( hindu, body ball) 50 total... hamstring curls using body ball 25 total... bridge 10 total Lunges 50 total

I can't believe how badly my legs hurt from that lol!!

Im not sure of what could have the same exact nutrition as those listed, but first things can came to mind were quinoa, amaranth, and beans

Glad you enjoy, and thank you!!

I think they are great in moderation. I know if I eat too much, I feel like crap from all of the sugar. I look for ones with no added sugar as well. Mostly from amazon.com. Mangos are my fave!

I am so thankful for days like today!! absolutely beautiful. I walked 3 miles outside and wanted to die lol.

I'm so out of shape off of the treadmill! hope the weather is just as nice for you all

What did you enjoy most about this online fitness challenge experience?

I enjoyed the fact that it helped me stay accountable for myself! It motivated me to know that I was going to get up, work out, and post about it later for others to read! It also brings a great sense of community, and general wellness.

I was just wondering if someone could tell me what this exactly means. I read over on the website, but it still is going right over my head.
