    I can't stick with the same dvd for one whole week, much less six! lol I have to have a little variety in my workouts or I dread doing them. I'm pretty sure Jillian's level is twice as hard as Kim's and Bob's put together. I think it should be level 3!

    It's awesome you've been so motivated! You should write down how you feel right now to remind yourself on the bad days how good doing right makes you feel. I know I'm unstoppable when I feel awesome! But, I let that feeling fade. The key is keeping it there. I'm sure you'll do great on your weigh in, but either way you have a great attitude!

    I took your advice Lisa (Thank you!!) because I want to feel this good from here on out and I know every week I may not work out every day like this week and I am OK with that but I don't have to feel crappy because life is out of control I can still feel good!!!

    Looking forward to my weigh in tomm!!

    Have any of you ever tried Shakeology? I got a sample recently and then decided to order it. So I've been drinking it for about 4 days now and I noticed that for the first time EVER (during TOM) I haven't really had any cravings and I have 600 calories left for today. That's something I never deal with, especially during this time. Now I'm really starting to think there may be something to that stuff! But I was wondering if any of you have tried it. If it will keep working like this I guess I'll fork out the money for it but it is really expensive (around $100 for a month's supply). So it has to work well for me to keep that up for any length of time. Wondering if it's real or if today was just a fluke. lol

    I know what you mean. I have to go back to college Aug. 17, and I'm not at the goal I wanted to be at (185 or lower). But I'm not gonna sweat it. I am going to do the best I can from here out so that I can go back to school and at least know I gave it my all the month before I had to go back. Don't be frusterated! It will only hinder your results. Just try your best and be happy with every little bit you get closer to your goal!

    Happy hump day! I'm FINALLY home from SC. My trip was extended 5 days because I had a few job interviews while I was down there. No complaints from me! We had a fabulous time and I can't wait to get completely moved out there so we can hike the mountains on a routine basis. I loved it!

    Just weighed in for the first time in 2 weeks: down 1.2 lbs! Hard to believe with the crappy eating habits and little no-no water intake I had for nearly 2 weeks. I'm ready to hit the 30 DS (L2D9) this morning though!

    Welcome to the new peeps!

    7.5 weeks until Labor Day!

    good morning ladies. how is everyone doing? i'm doing just fine. yesterday i went for a long walk. since i had bills to pay, i just walked. i started at one end on the town and then end up on the other side of the town. i know it was warm, but i made sure i had my liquids, my cell phone , just in case i needed it ,but my sister likes to call me, plus i had my hrm, mp3 and the step meter. even though it was warm, but i felt great for walking. i'll probably go for a walk later but not so far. i hope everyone is doing great on their weight lose journey.

    Hope everyone else is doing great as well we have gotten fairly quiet in here!!

    Day 13 of the shred for me today I am still pushing foward trying to see what will happen in 30 days I do feel a lot tighter I was down in SC for my birthday the last couple of days and now I have returned home don't know what to expect on the scale for Monday didn't journal my food I don;t think I did to bad I just normally have the same foods each week and didn't want to go through the hassel of trying to figure out foods I probably wont eat again but since I am back at home tomm will be back to the basics and getting things done!!

    Alright reality check me in these 160's are still battling I am up this week and I know exactly why but it''s going to be a lot more than what it looks like because I don't normally change my ticker but I am tired of not changing it I am going to change it now on a gain or a lost so that way it shows my progress everytime!!!

    I weighed in at 197.2.... but I since I was gone for the weekend and didn't work out (other than walking around seeing things) AND the buffets - I think I did pretty good. It was nice to get out of town for a while, but I'm glad to get back and jump right back in the swing of things. Losing weight is on the top of my priority list and now there's nothing standing in my way!

    I was doing Chalean Extreme. I started it in Feb and finished in May. I've been missing it though! So I'm going to restart it today and finish it out again.

    Okay guys so I been thinking and I know we all have certain days we like to weigh and things so I took this method from another one of the groups I am in and just wanted to share it with you and see if you like it. Each week when we weigh you can can copy and paste the following chart and adjust your current info the only thing is make sure your copying the most up to date one and then at the end I will do everyones weightloss percent!!!

    Name.............................. Start Weight ............................ Current Weight ......................... + / - LBS
    Cnbethea..........................162.6.............................................164.4........................................+1.8
    Blondie925.......................200.4..............................................197.2.......................................-3.2
    Porterbaby........................168.8...............................................168.8.......................................0

    I just used your names to show ex of how it would look when everyone start adding there names and plus you posted your current week hope you don't mind!!

    Hello, hello, hello! Still plugging along. I've been slacking on logging my foods and not exercising daily (except packing and cleaning for our big move), but it has actually seemed to work to my advantage. Down 4 lbs this week! Could be the added stress that I have 2 jobs offers and I'm unsure of which to take. I need to make a decsion by end-of-day Friday!

    Name.............................. Start Weight ............................ Current Weight ......................... + / - LBS
    Cnbethea..........................162.6.............................................164.4........................................+1.8
    Blondie925.......................200.4..............................................197.2.......................................-3.2
    Porterbaby........................168.8...............................................168.8.......................................0
    My2Loves..........................228.0..............................................216.0....................................... - 12

    Is the start weight our original? Or our weight from the last weigh in? I used my original start weight.

    i havent updated in a few weeks cause we were on vacation...i jumped on my sister's scale while we were away and was up TEN lbs from my weight before i left....i know it is not enough exercise and eating junk and will "fall" off quickly when i get back home and start drinking water and tracking my calories and getting back to the gym...okay enough with the excuses...i'll weigh in tomorrow and hopefully be back down from that horror of 225 last sat at the end of our trip (night before was chinese and lunch just before weigh in was fried shrimp and fish chowder).....
    i'll update me the "new" way after i weigh in tomorrow...thanks for keeping everyone on track....here's to everyone staying there :)
