I was wondering the same thing on the intervals. Just thought I was remembering back to FLP#1. Guess I’m not crazy!
see my comments to Helen
I have noticed that the 2 e-mails I have received this week state 4 intervals on CARDIO . . . I thought that we are up to 5 intervals???
Arrggh – you’re right! I thought something was wrong yesterday, but I didn’t figure out what and did just what was in the e-mails.
That was the intention, but I dropped it down to 4 for this week (at the last minute) due to the Christmas holidays. Just wanted to keep the workouts a bit shorter this week. I forgot to bring that to everyone’s attention after I made the change – sorry!
Next week we’ll be up to 5 intervals.
Oops, I though it was a typo. Oh well, I guess I did a bonus interval yesterday and today.
nothing wrong with that Petra
I also did 5 intervals.
Did our Coach fall off the end of the earth? He hasn’t posted anything since yesterday morning. We miss you.
I’m here Louise, just very very busy
Busy, just like the rest of us. I’ll leave some extra cookies out for Santa and tell him they are from you.
Thanks a bunch Louise!
If you look at my blog, you’ll see that I excel at cookie making. Santa loves cookies and leaves me terrific presents.

I didn’t post on saturday because I wanted you to see that I did make up for my missed workouts. So here is my blog
Curves does focus way too much on machines where you sit – so I can see how that would aggravate the tailbone. It’s helpful to remember that any exercise you do seated, is almost always much more effective if you can do it standing. A small change, but a huge difference in results.
Hi Coach -
Back from Texas & blog is all caught up. Posts w/pictures! Ting went well except for the Gym in Arlington not willing to sell me a multiple day pass, so we punted. Walking is always an option.
Anyway – about calorie cycling. The scale did not budge while I was gone, (didn’t go up, but didn’t go down) but it has moved down these last few days not cycling. Last time through the FLP, week 4 was where things slowed down as well. I chalked it up to weight loss leveling out, but can it be that cycling isn’t as effective for me?
Anyway – take a look: http://thejoyofmakingchanges.blogspot.com/

It’s hard to say for sure, but I would go with it one more week and see how you do. If after a cheat meal, you lose more weight, then what’s probably happening is that your calories are dropping a little too low on the low days and there is no need to drop to half portions.
After hours spent going from store to store, I have come to the conclusion that unsweetened cranberries are a mythical entity and really do not exist. I wonder if I should use sweetend cranberries, or use more raisins.
Also, we are given a choice of wheat germ or bran. Given that they are quite different, is one preferred over the other? I think I will use half of each for now. I’m looking forward to trying this breakfast.
the wheat bran is a little better, but half and half is great. Don’t use sweetened cranberries if you can’t find unsweetened – just stick to raisins
My blog is complete. Late, but complete. http://louisesfatlossblog.blogspot.com/ I’ve been very busy being one of Santa’s elves. I’m the one that bakes cookies.
Please see my post.
Happy Birthday to you! Sounds like you had a great day.. and what a baker!!! My goodness what a great job you do..
My birthday is Christmas Eve… so we are kindred spirits.. take care… Judy
Belated Happy Birthday Louise!!
Now please stop tormenting with all thos photos of awesome looking cookies!
Just got a chance to finally take some measurements for the first time since FLP2 started. I measured in multiple places this time to get a bigger picture of where I was losing inches – chest area (armpits, breast and under breast (ribcage), natural waist, lower waist, hips, thighs, top of knee, calves and arms at bicep area. Ok……. drum roll please! Down 101/2 more inches!!!! I was amazed. I knew my clothes were fitting looser and looser but I didn’t think I had dropped that much more. I’m only down about 5lbs since the beginning so I was surprised!

This was a hard week. The combination of doing half meal portions and coming down with a real bad case of hunger and trying to get a “little” bit of (stupid) baking done for the holiday…well, it was difficult to say the least.
The smoothie did not work out this week and it is my favorite when I get a full portion. I gave half of it to my husband and the other half was divided into breakfast and a morning snack for me, and just was not sufficient. I could have used a cup or two of squash about then. Anyway, I had to go back to the regular servings. Now that I am wiser, I will give it another go.
The exercises are great and look forward to them.
Despite everything, my scale says I lost 3 lbs, and can’t believe it.
Whew! Another week down- It is geting harder to resist all the CHristmas cookies and such but it is so not worth it to cheat…. I look forward to the work outs now and don’t jsut want to get them over with.

I would be interested in the DVD- I’m better at visual learning. Thanks
Hi all! My blog has been updated at http://britgrls.blogspot.com/
Can’t belive we are about to start week 5. Still got to figure out my fun cardio, but it wil probably be the same hike I’ve done the last 2 weeks, because it kicks butt!
Seemed like a long week, but completed!

Hey Coach, I have a crop of fresh coconuts and know that you have allowed me to have the water and flesh (young Thai) during the 1st FLP. Can you please give me some guidelines? It is especially beneficial after a workout.
The weather this week has been HOT during the day, but we are having a winter storm bearing down from China.
Also, some time ago you promised some info regarding caffeine and alcohol. We have only 2 more weeks on the program and I need to decide whether or not to add coffee back into my diet after the program is finished. The info that I have read is quite conflicting. Will you give us your professional opinion, please?
One more thing, I will be travelling to the north of Laos over the holiday and will take an initial flight and return flight, with the interval travel by bus. I won’t be able to take much food with me, but I know we have some “cheat” meals built in. Any suggestions for me?
Thanks!
