Fitness Fridays Health Club #13: Post Your Goal(s)!

And about the protein powder - I would suggest a whey protein powder (that's what we use)...Whey is the highest quality and best form of protein.

I wish I would have read this before I went to the store, I ended up buying soy protein because I had no clue what was better. I tried it today it my smoothie, it was kind of chalky is whey protein less chalky? Or do I just have to learn how to get used to the taste?

Well setting goals seems as good a time as any to hop into the thread. I just got a corporate rate for a gym near me that is 3/4 the price of regular monthly fees and no start-up fees, so I'm off to sign up on Monday.

Goals:

Workout at the gym 3 times a week minimum.

Lose 10 lbs. a month for the next three months and then maintain weight after that.

No more fast food - none! No exuses it has to go.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, so I thought I would here... They are a few "after" pictures, of how things are going. I'm very proud of myself, I've lost about 7lbs since we started, but I've gained a LOT of muscle.

Here's the oldest "before" picture I could find, it's from the 4th of July.


And now...



I hope I don't lose any more weight in my stomach though...it's starting to look a little...anorexic..?

OMG if I had your figure I would be so happy! lol I dont see a problem with the before photo!

I recently joined slimming world and I've lost 3 pound in my first week
I know its not the biggest amount I could lose but its gone!! lol I tried so hard to do it on my own but I really cant stick to it unless I get someone weighing me at the begining of the week! Its not really a diet its basically just eating healthy and eating ALOT of it

Sounds about right!

It is actually best to eat 6 *small* healthy meals a day! Hard to do if you've never tried. You'll feel bloated for a week or two . . . but soon, your metabolism will kick into overdrive & you will know you're hungry in a few hours!!!

Keep it up!

I'm sorry I didn't specify that before. I feel aweful! Whey mixes better than about any other powder, so it MAY be less chalky. The whey we use isn't chalky . . . we blend it, either with a hand mixer or in the blender. Maybe next time, you could try the whey and see which one you like better.
