Theoretically, since there are 3 levels and the title of the program is 30 Day Shred, it stands to reason that 10 days per level is the idea Jillian had in mind when making the DVD... However, she states to do level 1 till you feel like you are ready to hit level 2, etc. Basically do it as you feel you can. I stuck to the…

The owie muscles only last for a few days, push through it and keep working out and they will surprisingly enough disappear faster than taking a day or two off to recover. You will still have energy to get your cardio on the elliptical, especially if you do it a few hours before or after. It's only a temporary butt-kicking…

Vitamins give me headaches every afternoon around 3:00, so I don't take them. Something in how it is transformed from a vitamin to a pill doesn't agree with me. It's a pity, because other than the severe headaches, I have more energy and feel really good. :grumble:

I can't see this site at work, so... bump! Good Job! :drinker:

Hardboiled eggs are great... make a piece of toast, cut up the egg and voila, high protein breaky! :flowerforyou:

If you are gonna go over, protein and fiber are the place to do it, keep those carbs and calories down! :flowerforyou:

Try waiting till about 10:30 to have breakfast and then carry on your day from there... it gives you a few less hours to survive on a tiny amount of food. Try to get plenty of protein so you feel full longer! I know how you feel, I am quite convinced that I will starve to death on my rest days! Drink lots of water, chew…

I have a 6 year old St. Bernard named Barney... He's a lil on the chubby side, but I've noticed that happens to the boys as they get older... He's a good dog though and is really good with the kids... he's a great big chicken actually :) Then I have 3 cats, Psycho-Ninja-Bat**** (we call her kitty, she's nuts), Buggertoo…

I have the EA Active and I just started the 6 week challenge today, but did the step aerobics that last couple days and came out with the same calorie burn as pedaling my stationary bike for 30 minutes... Wii is way more fun! (My Wii Mii is dreadful tho! she needs to lose some inches off her bum!) :tongue: It's a blast tho…

bump.... :smile:

Thanks everybody for the congrats :happy: It's been worth the struggle!! I have the occasional thought that "I would really enjoy a smoke right now" but its a pathetic attempt on my brains part. I rarely think about it anymore as it is no longer a part of my life. Best of luck to you! :drinker:

I'm in North eastern BC.... I cant bring myself to feel your pain either! (but maybe that's because of the frostbite and now I am unable to feel anything at all...hehe) I'm loving the balmy -9C (15F) weather outside right now... just about ready to put the parka away and pull out the shorts and tanks!

Try getting in a few more healthy carbs in a day... it'll really help, PROMISE!!! Try to get the carbs from whole grains. I used to me a model for healthy eating all day long until i got home from work and then it would hit me right between the eyes and I'd end up eating a great big pile of anything sweet i could find in…

.... and then find someone who tells you that you are fat in all the right places! It is a pity that revenge doesnt seem to be a good enough motivator to get my butt moving... if it was I'd be phenominal!!!!

I eat peanut butter almost every day too... on an apple :) It's one of my favorite snacks! I think its healthy and its kind of a treat to me that i can look forward to.

i found tea and chewing absurd amounts of gum REALLY helped with the oral fixation. i was almost addicted to gum there for a while and i was SOOOOOOOOO bored! Hang in there, I quit almost 10 months ago and separated from my husband and only gained 15lbs... i figure thats pretty damn good... I'm a million times healthier…

Me tooo!!

Focus on YOU right now! Make sure you are taking the very best possible care of you that you can, you will bounce back emotionally faster and be feeling fantabulous as a sexy single again in no time! Keep moving, keep up the possitive self-talk and eat nutrient dense foods so that you don't have to eat as much, but your…

I'd be choked! And if there is the possibility that someone could get hurt because of their lack of education then I would want to report them too, and not out of spite! Feel better girl :drinker:

Hmmm mine too... bummer, I was totally looking forward to more than one piece of bread.... :grumble: Oh well, I'm still gonna try it out anyway... if nothing else, the house will smell delicious! :tongue:

I'm going home to try this! I have missed bread sooooo much! THANKS!!!

I used the Nicoderm too. It really helps... bit like an ever shrinking "blankie". You should have received a 10 week supply though, not just six. Read the little book that comes with it and check out their website.

Remember, almost all of the nicotine is out of your system in 72 hours. So, any cravings you get after that time period are litterally "only in your head"! Everybody has different ways of coping with stress and for me it really helped when I learned about what was happening in my body as I fought off yet another anxiety…

I usually make a quiche. :)

bump... can't look at the pictures at work, but definately wanna check them out when I get home! I love success stories!! :drinker:

Definitely make sure your water and fiber are good... don't add lots of fiber all at once because you won't even be able to "blame the dog"! It's REALLY not good! Try going for a walk... or several... every couple hours. Hope it helps! :drinker:

try www.joeyatlas.com He is awesome, and all at home body weight exersizes. REALLY fantastic, and he will kick your butt!

There is always the chance that you aren't getting enough to eat throughout the day. I had the same problem! I was angelic all day long and then I would get home from work and I was so hungry that I would just start eating.... and eating and eating! I decided to try eating around 250-300 of my exorcise calories (I earn…
