Bump. Until I stop being jealous of all the people who grew up skinny.

During level 3 today I was thinking this isn't so bad as the sweat was pouring off me. I think level 3 is harder but during it, it feels better than level 2. I am rotating through levels because I get bored of doing the same one more than 1 day in a row.

You definitely measured your hips wrong. You were one of the few people with hips bigger than mine so yours can't be smaller now. I am totally supportive of you losing weight everywhere else but i gotta draw the line somewhere!

No, it was an example. 582 is my fav # and that is what I say when people ask me my weight. Because in general it isn't polite to ask someone what they weigh. Well at least outside of MFP it is...

I think to make it up to us you should go do level 3, twice! :devil: J/K I don't want you to die and I have seen level 3 and am pretty sure doing it twice in a row would be enough to kill a person.... :wink: And 1a1a you should totally join us! The more the merrier.

I only drank 5 glasses today but I didn't get up until almost 2pm so I think it that is a decent amount for half the day...

I do OOH birth and when I got home from 2 births in a row at 5am (after being gone over 24 hours) I was wondering the same thing. I don't plan on adding it as exercise though.... I figure I burn more calories than when I am asleep but it seemed to complex to figure out.

Get food poisoning! I got REALLY sick after eating at a certain fast food place in the summer of 05 so I quit eating all fast food for just one month and haven't eaten fast food since! When travelling I will eat salads from fast food places or get an ice cream cone or have a baked potato but I haven't had a burger fries,…

Go with the zig-zagging idea! That is my favorite thing to say when I am a bit under.

Good luck! And I hope your birthday is at the end of the month. Not to be negative or say you can't lose 25 lbs by Nov 1 but weight loss comes at varying speeds and losing weight too fast can be bad too...

The google docs won't let me in today. Keeps saying trying to reach google.com. Also I did the first circuit yesterday and I am going to count it! I got called to a birth at 1:30 am yesterday morning, got home at 10:45 pm only to be called to another birth at 11pm. So I think the fact that I spent HALF of the time I was…

I'm not checking in or reading other posts anymore until I start seeing some results! Hopefully that will be soon, but it is possible I won't be in here for the rest of the challenge. I'm throwing myself an extended pity party and no one else is invited! Not that you want to come anyway because there won't be any fun junk…

The only thing I have to add is a good vocab word -defenestrate it means to throw through or out of the window. I threaten to defenestrate my scale on a regular basis!

Have you checked out Athleta online? They have some really cute workout clothes. http://www.athleta.com/

Do they have different food everyday or do you see the same food a few days or a week later? If so you could do more research on cals for that food and what a serving size looks like so you don't have to bring your own food everyday... And I know this makes me sound like a b*tch but when I lost weight before I worked with…

This and extra skin are the two things I hate most about losing weight! I'm fine with eating less and exercising tons but extra skin and saggy boobs are no fun! LMOA!

Thanks!

Thanks for the input. I have noisy joints I have always said I sound like an old person when I get up because of all the noise my joints make, even when I was skinnier. I have had the most issues with my knees making noise lately and after reading peoples posts I think it isn't so much just the minor pain but I freak out…

LMAO! That is totally what I was thinking!

I don't like the idea of doing the same routine everyday so I did level 1 on sat then level 2 on Sunday then level 1 today. I think I am going to switch back & forth between those 2 for a while then add in level 3. Level 2 didn't really seem harder, just different. Well I am going to do that or quit cuz Jillian annoys me,…

Good job! I was wondering how much people really use doing 30ds. I just started it and would love it if I lose 20lbs like it says you can but was rather skeptical about that.

Really depends on the person and what their body wants to do. Due to a genetic condition my skin doesn't have "normal" elasticity and never seemed to really tighten up as much as I wanted it to after I lost 90lbs. And just for fun when I gained the weight back it was in different places so now I am fat and have extra skin!

amazon.com has it for instant view for 1.99 per episode which would be about $6 total, the dvd is more than that. You can see if instant video works in India.

Last time I lost weight (90 lbs in under a year) I just had an exercise program on tv, some videos, handweights and an exercise bike from Goodwill that I got for like $10.

I have my meals divided by times of day & have had it that way for a few weeks now. I haven't really analyzed it though because I haven't had time/brain power to modify when I eat things to see if eating more earlier would help. In the past I have noticed that if I have a big breakfast i tend to eat more all day so I am…

I haven't ever like JM but now I officially hate her! Also Amazon has each level for $1.99.

Personally I avoid any diet that is super strict on times to eat and even specifies when you can have water...

Just posted measurements and glancing at other measurements posted confirmed that compared to my waist my hips are HUGE! Not sure how to post pics but I think posting measurements is enough humiliation for today...

I just found out about this one today BUT I saw that Amazon gives you a virtual copy available instantly when you buy the dvd so I guess I am in. I will figure out the whole pics/measurement thing later when i get home...

I didn't even bring my food scale. Kinda scary but we will see how it all works out in a week. I have to travel every month so it'll be nice to figure out what works for me...
