Just did session 11. This time I did the whole video, including the leg workout. I've been skipping it because I think I've got legs covered with the spinning. But I had some extra time and I thought I'd try it. I wonder if I'll ever be able to do the teaser without grunting. It seems unlikely. Session 11: 55 minutes 19…

Hey! I lost 30 lbs before joining this site, and then stalled. I thought I would never lose any more weight, but my friends here have kept me motivated and I have lost another 30. I have 30 to go...but the support here is awesome. We can all help each other.

Just did session #10. I was surprised that even though I was sore, i seemed to be able to do all of the exercises except the teaser. My lower back feels like I pulled it a bit. Hopefully it is just temporary.

Thanks Katie! You give me hope! I brought my stuff with me today to work.

I am the queen of restarting medifast, it seems. I have gone off 3x because I've had a rough winter with my adorable little petrie dish of a 22 month old. i definitely went off the deep end more than i would before i started medifast. I think what happens is that I feel like it's my last chance to eat anything before i got…

A) Just Dance is AWESOME. There is one that has the song "Let's go to the Mall" by Robin Sparkles. It is very fun. If you do it with a heart rate monitor, you'd be surprised at how much you can burn. B) When I was struggling to start, I would make an appointment for either a massage or a facial - something expensive and…

The only things I've ever liked were rollerblading, (not practical in busy metropolitan areas), Skiing (global warming seems to be making that a lot less fun and now i can't afford it anyway) and spinning. I also used to like kickboxing - but i ended up wanting to kick some of the other women in the class - you know the…

Session 9 today. Even though I took 2 weeks off, I was still flexible and strong in the stomach.

I did take measurements, and here's the deal. I'll post before pictures, and measurements at the 10 session mark, the 20 session mark, and the 30 session mark. I've got my first beach vacation since having a baby at the end of april and i want to get in 30 pilates sessions before I go. Today I did session 8. I'm doing…

That is good! Good luck, being hungry is so hard.

Just did session 7

I am using a method precision Pilates DVD . It is a good mat workout.

Well, I can tell you that it does come back very fast if you don't use the transition plan...I fell off the wagon and gained 12 lbs in 3 weeks. Then it took a month to lose 10 lbs. however, this is the only diet that I have ever tried hat does work. Some times it's a little slow but eventually, there is a loss. I have done…

How are you doing? I have been struggling to lose but finally seem to be losing it.

I have done 6 sessions so far...now that I am counting. So four more until I feel different, 14 more until I look different. We'll see!

How are you doing? I just started as well

Me too! Though I have never bee able to put my leg over my head like she has been promising me for 10 years.

I like this method video too!

I've been doing the "Method Precision pilates" DVD with Jennifer Kries. It's the best dvd i've found - i keep coming back to it year after year. Honest, i have never stuck to it for various reasons. However, I've started up again and i'm trying to work it in 3x a week. I don't know if it will pay dividends or not. But one…

I have the same problem with a competitive spouse. The minute I started working out and trying to lose my pregnancy weight he started doing P90x, eating protein bars and getting really, really ripped. Meanwhile I'm just trying to get back to my regular wardrobe. Now he's joined a group which wants to be like the guys in…

I am back on for 5 days after a 3 week, 12 lb hiatus. Today is the first day that I didn't lose 1/2 lb. I'm struggling too

Take out a tape measure and see how you do with that for 2 weeks. You are doing so well, and have stalled out just like me. I am not looking at the scale but motivating with workout goals and massage for the next 2 weeks to see if I can make any progress. something has gotta give, right?

I weigh myself everyday (though I have to admit when I am being bad, I tend to skip it when I am "off the diet". But then make myself start back up again. I se an app called target weight. It shows me the general trend of my weight loss and estimates when I will meet my goal, so even if I fluctuate, it is not a big deal.…

Closys mouthwash seems to be helping, just as an FYI.

Interestingly, I guess there are high ketones at night when I sleep - so that is why I'm driving my husband to face the wall in despair. (Seriously, this is how I found out about the dragon breath.) I'm now waking up in the middle of the night and using mouthwash.

I want to stick to the diet until I lose 20 more lbs....then transition well. Get back into spinning and Pilates Fit into my old rock climbing belt Manage to do all of this while being a good mother Support my husband

Lol

Word has it pistachios are pretty good for you too.

apparently, the answer to that question is yes. they are just too polite to tell us.
