I had a weird cramp today. Only 20 min

Oh no! That's awful. Rest up and get better!

Awesome!!, so excites to ***** about Jennifer with someone!!! Warning,,,,she says "this is the last exercise" at least 4 times. She doesn't mean the end of the workout. The end of the section. And if you have the same video as I do, method precision Pilates, the 1st 19 minutes are just a beginners tutorial. I skip those…

Session 7 45 min. Still only 2 of 3 teasers.

AARH! I'll see your windsor pilates and I'll raise you one Jennifer Kries. (by the way, i had to order my 3rd used copy of this DVD from amazon - i don't know what i keep doing with poor Jennifer).

Session 6- 47 minutes. I can keep my legs straight for most of it.

What routine are you doing? How long is it?

That's it! I have to beat you. I'll do pilates today, no matter how much i am dreading it, i know i'll feel better afterwards.

Yay! Go you! I do anywhere from 3o to 55 min of Pilates mat, and sometimes I get brave and do the toning and posture workout, another 45 min. I have gained 25 lbs all in my middle so this is quite a bit harder(especially in a mirror). But the last time I lost it I was all flabby. This time I figure I will emerge Phoenix…

Just started again! Finished session 5. Feel stronger but still really tight. I don't have great form on the teaser yet. (it's pretty awful) but I dont' usually get good form on those until session 10 or so.

Just tell them that you've decided not to eat ever again, you think you might just live on air and water, and then start biting your nails. Honestly, i don't know why people (family,friends) get so involved when you're close to your goal weight, you'd think they'd be happy for you. But I was so over the food too....just…

I carry protein bars in my purse. Always. If I miss lunch, i just eat them. Though when people get really yummy smelling stuff and bring to meetings it sucks

My theory is that she can do all of those leg lifts because her legs weigh less than half of mine. But whatever. It's better than couch surfing I guess. So...does anyone know how often or what the order you should do these workouts should be?

Apparently, eating medifast bars all day and then spaghetti and meatballs at night is a recipe for massive weight gain. I'd try so hard all day and then get home starving and there would be no healthy food and i'd end up eating something off plan. Anyway, i'm not sure I'll ever be able to get off medifast, but it seems to…

Anyone doing this a. With other workouts? Wen do I go from level 1 to 2 to 3?

Chocolate crunch bars. If you really close your eyes and try, you can make yourself believe it is an m&m bar

I struggle with this as well. I exercised and did medifast at the same time, and I think I got sick doing it. You should not work out as hard as you are with medifast. When I was exercising, the 4 and 2 plan was more realistic. I ate egg white protein in a salad at lunch and had more greens with protein for dinner (usually…

I am glad you are opening up.

Yes"! It makes my day when the roasted eggplant is on the salad bar.

I made it through 7 days on the plan and it's not that big of a deal again. I hate that it feels so Herculean to start. I wish there wasn't a dinner party in the middle of my first week because the 2 glasses of wine were a bit of a sabotage. But all in all, I guess I am ok with it now, I am Also using the fitbit.

Hey...medifast kind of hits all of the major diet "do this and you'll lose weight" stuff. 1) It's ketosis, so you burn fat 2) It's low calorie, so you burn fat 3) Low carb, so you burn fat The only trick is getting onto it. The first week sucks. I find it easier to start when I'm at work and i don't have much time to think…

16 lbs is great!

I'm the laziest one out there. i just eat the bars. I feel like i may as well make something in my son's pretend kitchen, if i make medifast food.

That sounds really yummy....

Well...I am the same way about food prep. I am also not a huge fan of chicken, unless its the roasted kind with all of the fat and veggies and mashed potatoes. So....I pretty much eat fish every night. I'm going to go get some veggie burgers and try those too, just to mix things up. The plan does work, but getting on it is…

Ok, maybe I'm not 100% on plan. Is one tsp - (measured) of almond butter. At least it's not the chocolate almond butter of 3 weeks ago. That's like nutella but with almonds. Ok, I need to stop talking about it.

So sad seeing my optimistic posts from before my vacation and tremendous backslide. But I've been back on plan for 3 days. I need a major pep talk to get through tomorrow night's dinner party. I really do like sea bass though. Hoping for another loss tomorrow.

You are always sooo mad at me for having sweaty hair.

Earth Balance Almond butter - with flaxseed and agave. I know they make a peanut butter too, but I've been thinking about this almond butter for 2 weeks. Finally got to whole foods (the only place I can find it) and scored the last jar! But I also tried Justin's chocolate almond butter - which is like nutella, only with…
