    So how are my fellow Amazonians doing? Don't you hate that you lose weight and inches but it takes FOREVER to lose a clothing size? Oh well. This has been a tough week (stressed and ate like crazy) but I have been exercising. My attitude is that it took a long time to put the weight on, it will take some time to take the weight off. I challenged myself to spinning, but that was not my cup of tea. I am going to try Zumba and Cardio Combo this week. Wish me luck!!!!

    Hi ladies!! I attempted push ups with my feet elevated. I did 8. They were HARD!! I need to get someone to look at my form though so I won't do them again until I do but I am happy for the accomplishment. I did 12 modified.

    ladybg congrats on surviving the 30 Day Shred day 1. Make sure you stretch real good in the morning.

    Finally.... I have found "my people".

    I am 6 feet tall - just got under 200 pounds and aiming for 175.

    So happy to find you all.

    Shopping suggestions - the long lengths you can get at banana republic online. 36 inseams - I am a 34 but I like the 36 to wear with heels. and the jackets have longer arms, etc. I found a few at the BR factory outlet and bught a pair in all of the 4 colours available at $24 a pair.

    Talbots online also has great long lengths but $$$$$. I try to hit their semi annual sales.

    Hey! You are my twin!! What size are you wearing at 196? I'm in a 14 but I can stick my bottom in a 12 they are just tight and I can't zip/button them.

    I love Zumba. I lost 8lbs and 4 inches off my waist one month while only doing Zumba. Just remember to keep moving even if you can't catch on to the routine quickly. Keeping that heart rate up is the key.

    Have fun!! And yes I hate not dropping sizes like the shorter population. I thought I would be in a 12 now. Wishful thinking on my part I guess. If I can get rid of this body fat it would be a huge difference.

    Day 2 30 DS complete and I am starting to feel it a bit.

    Yesterday (Sat) was my rest day so all I did was take a walk around the neighborhood. I did my 20 for today though.

    30 DS is no joke. Jillian really gives it to you but you will definitely see the difference as time progresses. Keep up the good work!

    CHALLENGE: 7/4/11 - 7/10/11 .....15 BURPEES

    This is a fat burning exercise. Please watch your form and keep your core engaged (tight). You DO NOT have to do all 15 at one time. Each day shoot for a personal best. If you only get 8 done today, shoot for 9 tomorrow. YOU CAN DO IT!!

    The 1st video contains several different levels of burpees arranging from beginners to advance. The 2nd & 3rd videos are additional advance techniques.

    LOL... I am trying to get back to what worked for me before.. running and then doing pushups, situps and mini-kickboxing moves in an hour workout seemed to help melt the pounds off.. so I am slowly getting back into the groove.. I hate burpees but I will get them done. today is my rest day but tomorrow I will be back at it..
