Whats it called....I dont have a Valley Vit. store here in NYC...but I am dying to check this out..cause designer whey just isnt doing it for me!

Thanks!!!

Hi Guys

Yesterday I did the readiness program - twice in 30 minutes and two hours later I did 45 minutes of cardio on the eppiliptical. I like his tip about bending forward and pushing with your heels - you really DO feel it more in the butt!!!

Today I've done 45 minutes of eppiliptical and am planning on doing a run through of the REAL workout, since I now have my medicine ball. I know that some of those exercises on the exercise ball are going to take a bit of practice LOL - I am NOT the most co-ordinated person in the world.

My medicine ball is 3 kg - 6.6 pounds - I tried them out in the fitness store and found that the 4kg one was just too big for me to manage it in one hand. Darn those balls are expensive!!! it was 50.00 (Canadian )

Don't you just feel so GOOD when you've done something you think you couldn't!!!!!

Tricia that lemon sounds great!!! I prefer tangy flavours over the creamier ones a lot of the time.



LOL - I just found out I've been doing the squat thrusts backwards AGAIN - not only am I un-coordinated but it appears I'm exercise dyslexic too

Hi Everyone!
I posted here this morning but so far my message is not here. I am testing to see if this works before I write another long message!

The test message worked so am trying again! I guess the forum didnt like my first message so it spit it back out.

Hi Everyone!
I started another program (6 Week Body Makeover) May 31, 2004 and lost 32 pounds. I am really happy with those results, started at 149 and am around 117/118 now.

I am happy with my size but am trying to get rid of excess tummy, back and upper thigh fat. I am hoping that restricting carbs will shake things up a bit. My diet since starting the 6WBMO has been so much like the UNYBP other than not being able to have starchy carbs so am not sure if this will be enough of a shake up for me. I started NYBP Monday and have not lost anything yet but it's pretty soon into the program to judge.

I have been working out, mostly with fitness DVDs, for several years so the exercise plan is not too tough, other than some balancing on the ball issues. I actually slipped off the ball last night and floor-burned my left knee.

I am using the DVD when exercising. I guess it's pretty much the same except that the DVD titles are different. I am doing each day's more challenging workout in the mornings and whatever is less challenging for me in the evenings. I am looking forward to my cardio tonight!

Do any of you wear a Heart Rate Monitor that calculates calories burned? Monday, I did the cardio sculpt program (core program on DVD) and burned 300 cals and another 283 cals doing cardio in the evening. Isnt that most of what we eat? Maybe two weeks of that won't effect the metabolism too much though.

I need to read thru all of your posts and find out who's here and what's up! I am sure I am going to have questions once I know a little more about what I'm doing!

Have a good Wednesday! I hope to check back later.

Finally got the dvd and did the pre-core program last night, I guess i felt to intimidated to do the core program. After I was done I watched the core workout, and I think I could have done (most of) it. I have to admit I have only been doing the Firm in preparation, I have stepped up my workouts to get ready for this and have been eating as per his plan most days. Yesterday was my first official day.

I also just bought online a device that measures body fat by electrical impedence, it has two handles with a screen in the middle. You hold it at arms lenght straight out from your shoulders. According to this I am 35% body fat, which is 60 pounds out of 170. What a depressing thought! I will retest 2/22.

Day 1: 45 min cardio workout am, precore program pm
Day 2: 45 min cardio workout am, will do abs/core after work

Sorry I thought the Title came thru & it didn't

Its by syntrax, the product line is Nectar. The lemonade is great, crystal sky is the blue one with a punchy flavor. They also have fuzzy navel and some others.

The problem with calling the company for where can I find is they have distributors that then deal with various vitamin companies. So they don't really know where the product is out at. GNC & Hi Health don't carry, but the company might be able to get you in touch with a local distributor, I never thought to ask. Valley Vitamins here will be stocking soon so I am just waiting until then...

Hi - does the lemonade flavored stuff have artificial sweeteners? I've looked a some of those in my health food store, but they all seemed to have a lot of sweetener. Your's sounds really good!

Hi all. It's been great to read all your feedback while I struggled through the first four days of this plan. That 45 minute core (and when I say 45 minutes, I really mean 1 hour plus!) was brutal on the first day, but much easier on Wendsday. And amazingly enough, today was the first day that I didn't wake up hungry. The butt routine today actually seemed pretty easy. As of day four, I think I can actully do this!

Would love to hear from anyone who has successfully gone into maintenence. I can do this for two weeks, but two years seems pretty daunting.

I just checked, never thought about that, and yeah Nectar contains asparatame. Bummer! Oh well, I will keep an eye out for something else that is yummy and healthy...

Anyone find a protien bar that works with NYBP yet??

No posts since before the weekend!

I have to admit this plan may be to extreme for me, I can only eat on plan 3-4 days, then binge. I am finding it way to restrictive. The exercise is only so/so, but I am getting most of them in.

Clothes are looser, thats a good sign. I still plan to measure & test body fat % on 2/22.

I'm HERE - been posting intermittantly in my gym log and forgettting about here.

This is a little EXTREME for me - I'm managing most of the exercises but not doing the ones I consider life threatning - so I work my way through and when there's something I just CAN'T do I sub the regular version of it - some of those fancy pushups for instance and some of the jumping squat/lunge things (push ups to T-stands, plyometric pushups (I have a weak wrist on my left arm) Sumo Lunge with Side Kick and Frog Jump FORGET it ) but I get through most of it.

As far as eating, I'm sticking to phase 1 of Fat Flush because I know from experience that only having green veg carbs will cause me to binge - I'll get so hungry on that low low carb count that I end up out of control. So I feel it's better to do what I can control - my calories are still nice and low - about 1000 - 1500 daily and the main difference is the cranwater and 2 peices of fruit - still no dairy, fat, wheat, sweetners, sugar, alcohol or caffeine.

It gets easier dosen't it!!!! that's what I'm finding hope you guys are too.
