Starting at 239lbs. I've done this before and lost 11 pounds and sooo many inches. It just HURTS the first few days! lol

Last year, I weighed once a month because the week to week changes were too frustrating for me. Now, I'm weighing once a week, sometimes in the middle of the week, too.

Have you tried Pamprin? Discovering an OTC medicine for PMS saved me. I could eat 4k calories and still eat more during the week before my period. Like my stomach becomes a black hole and my mood switches around pretty quickly, too. I also gain 8-10 lbs of water weight. Not fun. Pamprin helped aaallll of that.

All great ideas! Thank you.

Awesome!!

That's actually fantastic! Sometimes thinking about loss as a marathon helps me.

My bf weighs less than me! That's got to change...

Doing the rest of level 1 this week!! Day 7 Level 1 Monday. Anyone have a list of reps/exercises for level 2? I found one online for level 1 and have been using that instead of the video.

Yes!! Good for you. We never regret a workout 😉

Done Day 6, Level 1. Tough to finish after jogging but got it done. I like taking cardio out and just doing abs/strength.

Yay!!

She said I had to have much more water because of how much I sweat during the summer teaching summer school and really pushing myself with exercise that it actually wasn't enough. She did another blood test after doing the gallon a day for a week and the numbers were much better! I wish I remembered exactly what was…

Thanks, all! 😊 I hope that if someone else has an issue like this they also see a doctor. I thought I was drinking plenty of water!

Same! I alternate 5lbs, 8lbs, and 10lbs.

Day 5 done this morning. I totally feel the difference in workout quality when I'm hydrated and ate well the day before vs. eating like a pig and not getting enough water. Today was the latter but pushed through.

Not that anyone cares but doctor said it was dehydration. Blood tests showed I was so dehydrated my kidneys suffered an 'acute injury'... drinking a gallon of water a day was her order and it solved the issue.

Not looking forward to doing the Level 2 workout, but def looking forward to results from it. lol We can do it!! 😊

omgosh! You all are amazing! I'm on Day 5 of Level 1 and doing it on Monday. Back to back no days off was not good last time I did this. So I'm doing Monday through Friday (missed Monday and Tuesday this week). What modifications do you make? I'm taking cardio out -- killed my already messed up knees. Instead I'll do…

Missed yesterday's workout. Going to get it done later today. I always feel great when it's over... incentive to get it done! Hope everyone else is pushing through. The soreness is crazy.

Just posted looking for more people. I'd love to join you all!

I think you should definitely use it to your advantage. I personally would time myself getting up and down 10 times, then make a game of it to see if I can lower my time over the course of a few weeks. Maybe I'd even make the stairs part of a strength training circuit... just brainstorming, maybe 15 push ups, 15 squats…

happy to help! :)

Add me :)

Awesome!!! congratulations on your hard work! 👍🏽😊

I find the best thing for me to stay consistent is to make a little extra of tonight's healthy dinner and wrap it up right away for tomorrow's lunch.

I'll join you! I don't have a strict time limit. My goal is about 60lbs by this time next year.

Drink water. Lots and lots of water!

Yes! A couple things I read that I might try to get through this are investing in an SAD light therapy lamp and going for walks during lunch when the sun is out. I tried the walk in the sun a couple days ago and, even though I needed to bundle up a little more, it really helped my mood improve and I was actually able to…

Workout at a time you will be able to consistently workout at. I don't think it matters if you burn 500 calories in the morning or burn 500 calories at night... it's the same 500 calories burned. Maybe I'm thinking too simplistically, but it makes more sense to just make sure we're exercising period. For me, I'd lose less…
