    I will give you all a tip..definitely try your hardest to do it 10 straight days to build up your endurance. I use to do it for 2 or 3 days and then take a week off and try to come back to it, and it KILLS to do that because Level 2 is no joke!! But it is a great burn for 25 minutes for sure! Make sure you both tell us how its going!
    Thanks for the tip Krys!! I do need to try my hardest to get to 5, let alone 10, (let alone 30!!). I feel good now, but it takes my body 24 hours (to the minute, almost) to feel fatigued from my workouts. So tomorrow will be really bad... :bigsmile: (me now) --> :sad: (me tomorrow)

    LOL I know...you will be sore for sure...but you will see results for sure.


    I so agree, Krystle! I would give the same advice to anyone starting 30DS. I'm on Day 28 and LOVE it! You just need to fight through the first four days. That is when I was most sore. Even when I moved to the other levels, the soreness I had at the beginning of those wasn't nearly as bad as the first Level. I am on Day 28, but had one day off during Level 2 because of my shin and my ankle hurting and one day off during Level 3 because I was sick.

    You can so do this!!! We're all here to support you! :flowerforyou: I'm thinking of doing another cycle of 30 DS when I finish up Thursday. I'll give myself Friday off then start again on Saturday. One thing I can say is that the only week I had a gain during the challenge was the week when I started the shred. Don't let that discourage you!! I'm losing inches, and I feel so much stronger. :smile:

    I know this may be TMI....but, I was really thinking about getting a colonic aka hydrotherapy. I just feel like I need to "cleanse" I don't know, just a thought LOL And they aren't expensive. They say that you should do one at least twice a year. Hmmm we will see, I was going to ask my doctor about it next time I go.

    Anywho, everyone have a wonderful day!

    I heard, from Dr. oz, that your body cleanses it self out every time you use the restroom. If you are eating the recommended fiber grams (25 - 30 g for women) then the "colonc" is a waste of money. what ever weight you lose (mostly water) it comes back with in days. jJUst my two cents...

    I will find you the link, on his website, when he talked about it on his show. I am about to go pick up my son right now. bbl.

    My doctor told me the same thing on the colonic.

    I put on my pants today, after they had gone through the laundry, and you know how clothes are tighter when the come out of the dryer? Well these pants I have really, really cut into my waist. I've taken to not buttoning the top, because they dig in so much. So today, I took them from the drawer, but them on, and they did up very nicely. :bigsmile: I was very excited. I've been eating pretty well for almost 2 weeks now, so it must be from that, cause I only just started working out again.
    LOL I know...you will be sore for sure...but you will see results for sure.
    Sooo sore! It hurts to stand up.
    Don't worry about that job Krys. Something better will come along. If you are meant to get it, you will. Try your best, and be your wonderful self. I love your self-confidence! PS - Those inches are nuts! I've lost one from my waist this past year, which brought me to what Dr. Oz says is a healthy measurement. :bigsmile:

    Get in that gym Mollie!!


    I just want to say thanks to Steph for this post!:flowerforyou:

    Last night I was watching the news and they said how cold it was going to be this morning. I said I am not going to club and I am going to stay up late and watch TV and do a DVD in the morning. Well I was on line and checked this thread and saw this post and remembered that I had posted I was going to the club everyday for the rest of the week. How quickly we forget!:laugh: So I lol and got up and went to bed so I could get up this morning and go to the gym.

    I am happy to report I made it to the gym early and had a awesome workout! I almost burned 1000 calories. I just had to leave so I could get to work on time. It was one of those days when you are feeling great and if you had the time you would put in another 30 min!!

    The Snowflakes to Sunshine group a totally awesome group! I am loving the support and positive vibes from all. It has been slow at work this week so I have more time to support the thread this week!!

    Keep rocking and melting away those pounds! Friday will be here in a few days!! I have 2 pounds to go to be in the 340's and I plan to be there if is in my power to do so.

    GROUP QUESTION:

    I totally love and get a kick out of the little button that states how much I would weigh if I eat like this for 5 weeks! :heart:

    Do any of you love this button like I do? :laugh:

    Like this morning I hit it once I mapped out my food for today and I take out my exercise calories by using the add calories button (-972) and my little button said 328 something if I ate like this for 5 weeks and I have been on a high all day and I plan to make sure I stick with my plan today so my little button will have me in the 320's in 5 weeks! And this is the 1st time I have seen it say the 320's too, just another confirmation I am coming on down the road.

    Is it just me?:ohwell: Please share, I know there is somebody else in this group who loves that nice little baby!:love:

    Good Afternoon Snowflakes! This day at work is going by sooooooo slow. I really just want to get home and work out. Stepped on the scale today ( I know I shouldn't have) and had a little gain ...but no biggy, going to work it out the rest of this week and look for any loss. I don't need to pull another 5lb week (although, it would be nice) I did notice that I was a little sore though, so it may be a little water rentention.

    Goals For The Rest of The Week:

    Tuesday- Zumba Cardio DVD and 20 minutes Abs
    Wednesday-Zumba Sculpt and Time
    Thursday-20 Minute Express and 20 minute Abs
    Friday-Zumba Cardio
    Saturday- Sculpt and Tone and 20 Minute Abs

    I am feeling a little sleepy throughout the day, so I am going to make sure I get my 8 hours in tonight for sure! Not cooking, going to do some Chipotle.

    I know this may be TMI....but, I was really thinking about getting a colonic aka hydrotherapy. I just feel like I need to "cleanse" I don't know, just a thought LOL And they aren't expensive. They say that you should do one at least twice a year. Hmmm we will see, I was going to ask my doctor about it next time I go.

    Anywho, everyone have a wonderful day!

    Do you just do zumba or do you mix it up with other things?

    And girl are you brave if you get a colonic! The thought scares me .... I tried these pills that were supposed to clean you out, they were organic and my god .... *shudder* I guess with the colonic its quick and over with. I always wondered about it but not brave to try.

    I just do Zumba right now and I just started doing free weights every 2 days. I just love Zumba so much that I never get bored with it! LOL...But I am probably going to buy, "The Biggest Loser"Cardio Max DVD for weekend workouts or something. Just to kind of give myself some variance in work outs because I need to lose these thighs! LOL

    Krystle, I hope the video will help you make a decision on whether you should or shouldn't go through with it...

    Thank you! Yeah, I wasn't doing it for weight loss purposes...I just wanted to see if it will help my upper abdomial region feel less "stuffed" LOL I don't know how to describe the feeling. But I am probably just going to up the fiber and protein!

    I'm sticking to my goals so far this week ~ burning at least 500 calories and drinking 12 cups of water every day. I was right about the month friend visiting soon they popped in today! I'm feeling great this week!!!

    I am feeling good this week too Laura!! Tom is something else, but the nice thing about TOM is he goes away and if we keep our eating in line, so will the water pounds.....:-) Keep up the good work!


    I did not make it to the gym today but I am on track. I should have went this morning because it is going to be colder tomorrow!! But I have to go tomorrow to get that last chance workout in before Friday. I am going to do a Leslie Sansone DVD in a few minutes.

    I must share I peeked at the scale today and I am at 349 and that was my goal this week to get into the 340's. I have not been in the 340's in 2 years!!:bigsmile: It felt good to see that number on my scale!! So needless to say I am pumped! One more pound and I will have lost 40 of 80 pounds I regained after having weight loss surgery in 2004. It has been a struggle getting this regained weight off but I am going to do it and I am doing it this year too!! My goal for the year is to get under 300 if I do nothing else this year.

    This challenge and group has really helped to keep me focused on my goals. The accountability is so motivating. The chart is even more helpful since I am a numbers girl too!! So thanks and hugs to all of you!!! Especially KrysT and Eyesee......:-)

    2 more days!! Get those last workouts in!

    I usually weigh in on Saturday's but this week I am going to weigh in on Friday since I am dropping out of the other challenge I was in. Too many weigh in's to keep up with. I am in 2 and that is enough to keep me mindful and focused.

    Happy hump day all!!!:flowerforyou:

    This is my little prayer that is on my Vision Board....I look at it every night before bed and first thing in the morning


    God grant me the strength, courage, and resilience to push myself each day...to accomplish something that I never thought I could! Keep me focused on pursuing excellence, as THIS very thing is what you want me to do. My body is my temple and should be treated as such. And in order to create balance and happiness in all areas of my life, I must FIRST start within!

    -Amen

    I am also commiting myself to a road race in May, so there is no turning back now.
    Y'all can check out my blog about it

    http://www.runningwithadream.blogspot.com/
    punkrawkcutie... I'll be following your progress!!

    forgiven4life... Awesome about the compliments and comments you're getting!

    :laugh: TMI... That's a great idea! I've read that you can build up there, so doing a flush could get rid of a few extra pounds! Definitely check it out! I would like to get one someday too. :smile:

    I should edit: I think it's beneficial like you said: 2x or even once/year. Clearly not every week or month, cause you would probably be flushing out good bacteria, and taxing your body more than helping in. Be knowledgeable on anything before you do it. :flowerforyou:

    Val... Thanks for the inspiration! I'm on Day 4, and yesterday was soo much easier than the 1st to days! Your Day 28 is very inspiring! :happy:

    Mollie... Great job following through!! I'm so proud of you! :drinker:
    PS - I love that little button too! It keeps telling me 175 in 5 weeks!! :bigsmile: You're sounds like it's really good to you too! Keep listening to it.

    I love it!! That sounds like a perfect prayer for me for the next 12 weeks. I started a Run for God class to train for a 5K and I know it's going to get hard.

    Happy Wednesday Snowflakes! My body is definitely feeling a little sore today. My triceps still hurt from Sunday....go figure, and my obliques. I also think I am retaining a little water this week, I am still seeing that pesky little gain on the scale. I am also trying to figure out if I am on the Depo shot....if I do not have a "flow" anymore (which is a common side effect) do I still have the Pre-Menstrual symptoms..? I need to look into that, if that is the case...I am thinking that is why I am retaining a little more water. We will have to see.

    I honestly, would be fine if I maintained this week..because I had two really good weeks. So I know that there are going to be some fluctuations. As long as I keep hitting my mini goals...I am good. So I am still going to stick to what the rest of my exercise goals are for the remainder of the week.

    I am also going to this new gym with two co-workers of mine Saturday...and a kickboxing class on Sunday. With that being said, I am looking at a rest day of Monday!

    In other news (lol), I am still going to attend the Zumba Instructor Training in April...and I am going to ask my father-in-law if I can use the gym at the school he teaches and coaches at to teach the classes. I have also been putting my little networking skills to work on the Zumba website, getting to know some area Instructors so I can get a feel for what is out there and what is not.

    I am really looking to make this a business for me. I really haven't been passionate about something in a LONG time...and I think teaching Zumba and gearing a lot of classes towards kids and teens to promote optimal health...is right up my alley and something that is very needed. Oh yeah, and there is an Instructor Covention in July in Orlando...that I am DYING to go to! It is about $400.00 to go...I think I am going to start taking up a collection on the street LOL I have until May to come up with the money, so we will see. If I do go, I would be able to get another Instructor training class or 2 in, and network and just have fun for 4 days!

    I don't know Snowflakes...I just see a lot of great things on the horizon, and I am very excited about it all :) I never in a million years would have thought that I would be looking at being any kind of fitness instructor or trying to motivate others to lose weight and get healthy...but here I am....and I have a feeling that this is something that God is pushing me to do.

    posted this in the weigh-in thread on accident:

    so i've been in a funk the last few weeks from not losing. i wanted to give up at times, but i didn't. however last week i didn't make the best food decisions which is why i didn't lose. this week, my plan was to kick it up a notch or two and really make sure i was giving it my all in my workouts and my food choices. i went to trader joe's and bought a ton of great foods filled w/ fiber and protein. i was pretty excited to get back into the groove of things and see a good loss... until yesterday morning when i woke up with a sore throat/ chest congestion/ gross cough. i think it may be a case of bronchitis, but i'm really praying it goes away asap. i ended up working out last night pretty hard because i was in denial that i was sick, but it probably wasn't the best idea. i'm going to take it easy today and focus on getting better. what a bummer though, seriously. i'm praying i can see a good loss still next monday! fingers crossed.

    I know exactly how this feels! But you are being accountable and aware. Take care of yourself and your health. You're still on track :)

    You would be awesome in this field!!:flowerforyou: I hope you get a chance to go to the Convention!

    I have dreams of getting in the wieght loss business also, but I am not willing to go back to school to do so. I can always dream!!

    I think that's an awesome idea! I've heard of so many people who lost weight and were inspired to help others do the same. Plus, who wants to get tips about losing weight from someone has never struggled with weight? It means more and it's more inspiring to learn from someone who's been there!

    Plus, it'll be great motivation for you to keep the weight off! :smile:

    Just thought I'd say, I love eating healthy. If you're starving, you're probably just not eating enough of the right foods. My lunch (Salad with lots of veggies, honeycrisp apple, 2 clementines and blueberry yogurt) was SO filling I felt like I was stuffing myself. :smile: And all for just over 300 calories. That's INSANE!!

    Love me some fruits and veggies! :smile:

    This is so true. A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post basically having a pity party about being hungry all the time. Since then, I've been eating alot more whole grains and less sugar and surprise, surprise, less hungry!

    Can someone tell me how to love veggies? :brokenheart:

    Edit: I kind of like broccoli, and cauliflower, and different leafy things, but they usually go old in the fridge before I get around to eating them.

    This might not be too helpful, but I taught myself to like a lot of veggies by cutting them up small and eating them on a salad. Mind you, at that point I was eating salads with Ranch. Once I got used to the taste I weened myself into eating them in their nature state. :smile:

    Look for recipes for how to cook veggies. I'm sure you'll find some way that you like!

    I'm feeling GREAT about tomorrow's weigh-in! I haven't weighed myself this week, but I can definitely feel/see a change. It has been a super crazy, stressful week but I didn't over-eat and I didn't have any major issues with staying on track. My biggest hurdle was finding time to log in and check in with everyone. I'm hoping that after next week I'll be able to be more consistent with that because things will be calmer.

    It's great to see all the successes on this thread!! :)

    Good morning Snowflakes....

    My favorite Calvin Klein Jeans are on sale for $30 online...I really want a pair. But I promised myself I wouldn't shop for clothes until the snow (and a little bit of me) melted and I packed away the puffy coat. I already have a nice sized wardrobe waiting to be worn again so here I am babbling until I can get my mind off the sale.


    How's everyone else doing today? At my university, because we are in Illinois, we have off for Lincoln's birthday rather than President's say so my long weekend starts after quitting time today!

    Good Morning Snowflakes! Hope everyone is having a good day! Well this is a funny story....

    So my good friend Lissa that I use to be my Assistant Manager when I worked for Washington Mutual is telling me about her cousin. Now I have met her cousin before...beautiful girl...but I guess since I have seen her (it's been years) she has put on some weight. Now Lissa is telling her other cousin at work (all three of them work together) that the girl who got her into Zumba (that would be me) is trying to become a Zumba Instructor....So her pretty cousin says, "OMG that is was too serious for me, does she not have a life...that is pretty sad. She needs to have a kid to entertain her!"

    So my friend replies, "Actually she does, she has a 2 year old, a full-time job, a man and a house to take care of!" Well what's even better is, once she told her who I was specifically. She says, "OMG, I didn't know it was her...I like her, I feel bad now!"

    Well my thing is...at what point do you sit there and hate on someone else who is doing something that you wish you had the motivation to do. Most people would say..."That is awesome that she can juggle all of that" But noooooo! And I am by no means perfect in this journey...nor do I claim to be "healthier than thou" I don't even share what I am doing with everyone! I let them say something about it...but I was seriously upset about it for about 2 seconds and then I was over it! LOL

    Some people have to climb on the backs of other people to try to hike up their own esteem and real feelings of lack....

    Love me some fruits and veggies! :smile:
    Can someone tell me how to love veggies? :brokenheart:

    Edit: I kind of like broccoli, and cauliflower, and different leafy things, but they usually go old in the fridge before I get around to eating them.

    I am trying to get to that point myself Steph with the veggies! ♥ I am getting so much better but I still have yet to get 2 in a day consistently. I am good with the fruit. I do 3 or more fruits daily.

    Would love more input on how people who use to not eat veggies are getting them in. Other than salad..:laugh:
