Hi, my name is Cat. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety. I was drinking very heavily to numb myself. I now have a counselor and I’m on medication for the depression. My counselor was concerned with my alcohol consumption and so was I, but if anything if got worse. On Saturday September 12th I dumped out the…

I started 30 day shred today... I would like to be to be in a group on the same time frame as me.

I did this a few years ago with great success ( lost 17 lbs). I've gained it all back plus some, so I started again today. Gloriously sore... I can't recommend it enough

I actually logged the foods I've been eating and realized I'm getting more calories than I thought, but thanks for the replies, I'm going to continue to log my foods just to be sure!

It freaked me out!!! my uncle from Japan was visiting and he felt right at home. So, I was going to ask, do any of you have a favorite gym that you go to? and please feel free to friend me... I've been lacking on the motivation to eat right lately. and my weight is stuck in a rut (probably the reason for the lack of…

Hey guys, I'm from Broken Arrow/Tulsa area. Almost to my goal weight and just joined Gold's Gym with the hubby. I'm super excited for this weekend, all the new ****'s Sporting goods stores are gonna open, hoping to buy a new weight set with the coupons I got in the mail!! Any one else going to the grand openings?

I had slight knee pain during and some through out the day. I went and got the GNC joint supplements and after 4 day of that (and 7 days of pain) it went away, I even tried the low impact "Anita" moves and it didn't help me. Good luck, just take care of that joint and do your stretches

level 3 is KILLING my back! I think it's the superman things, and all the plank stuff. I cheated several days last week, but I'm back on my game and can't wait to see the difference. gotta go to work! hope you al have a great workout!!

Level 3 isn't as bad as I thought it would be.. but still no piece of cake. I'm definitely following Anita more than before.

L2 D10 done!!! I REALLY hope that L3 is easier. Off to get dolled up for a big meeting today. I only see my boss 3-4 times a year and today is one of those lucky days :noway: (she's talks the big talk, but can't walk the walk)

I would love to see what others tried, myself I can't seem to loose anything from the tummy/thigh area!! but I'm not as symptomatic as most. I wasn't diagnosed until I started TTC.

I just cheated on my diet for a few days that that helped for a while, but then I just plateaued again =(

knee is still bothering me, but did L2D8!!! can't believe level 2 is almost done! I really hope that level 3 is easier. I wanna be able to follow Natalie again

I'm married, but I always feel super flattered if a guy hits on me, it means I'm sexy:bigsmile: .. the only bad thing is I'm usually really rude to guys that hit on me.. Most of the men here just walk up to you and say some cheesy line and ask for you phone number in a parking lot... So I usually just tell them they have…

I don't have children, but I have 3 dogs and I foster dogs.. It's very fulfilling. but I know that when I have children, even if I have to adopt.... that child will be EVERYTHING to me

well, I'm taking the day off of shredding. Level 2 has sooo much more impact, My knee has flared up again. So hot and cold compresses for the poor thing today and 2 days off of work should have it healed soon....I hope

thought you all might like this =) [/url]

I just did 1 slice of toast and I could tell a difference. I didn't run out of energy or feel as fatigued going into the first cardio circuit like I normally do. Knee is still killing me, so I only did workout 1, I'll have to double up workout 2 sometime in the next week. come on knee, get better. I HATE taking pain meds,…

wow, finally found the new pages. I missed the last 3 days of level one because I was sick, so for the past 3 days I've been doing them before I start level 2, and I think it's helping to make level 2 a little easier to get through. I've been having some joint pain from the increased amount of impact. So I went to my…

frozen grapes are awesome... or I know it sounds gross, but a banana dipped in a bit of sugar free jello mix... I also found some 14 calorie ice cream bars that aren't too bad. Philly Swirl Sweet Delights. Can't wait to see what others have to offer

I died during circuit 3... I get ovarian cysts a lot (PCOS) and I guess I had one that twisted during the workouts, or burst... I was about to pass out... I couldn't finish the last cardio segment but I pushed through the abs. so I say it still counts as my workout for the day.

I love this challenge, and I used to hate water!!! My work does not allow liquids on the sales floor, and as the store manager I have to stay on the floor all day..... it makes getting my water in really hard... maybe I could get a Dr's not allowing me to have my water at the register :laugh:

just finished day 7! I have a question, during the warm up, my shoulders pop doing the windmills, and my knees pop doing the knee circles... do any of you know if there's anything I can do about that? thanks!!

I have IBS too, but not what yours is doing. I don't hang on to the stuff that irritates me, my body wants it GONE!. I've found that since I've started working out that my IBS "episodes/flare ups" are almost gone. stay away from raw veggies, anything that give you gas, a lot of grains and dairy. basically, a low GI…

yay for getting D4L1 done. Some of my RL work buddies were going to do this with me, but they have both bowed out already.. and one of the girls is a size 1 dancer, made me feel better that I could keep with it =) ready for tomorrows shred and then the state fair... gonna try really hard to stay away from the funnel cake,…

today 636, -147 from yesterday, but yesterday was a crazy day, and tomorrow will be too

omg, my thighs are on freaking fire today. don't know how I'm gonna get through it tomorrow. maybe a hot bath tonight. I'm so proud of everyone doing this. I think that the biggest difference in those who lose weight and those that don' t is self control. making yourself not eat this or that. telling yourself when you've…

just finished day 3, and I too have gained, but I've been gaining almost a pound a day :sad: I'm sure it's muscle, but my plan was to get to my goal and then build on the muscle. I would love to loose the flabby arms and thighs before getting my 6 pack. things were a bit easier, but I'm getting really tire of her voice,…

yesterday burned 161 today burned 783 thats +622... it would be nice to have that kind of increase each day, but today was my day off, so I had a lot more activity time
