30 day shred is her DVD from 2008. Ripped in 30 is the newer one. Both are challenging and get me moving

I did Ripped in 30 first.I did it for 48 days and now I am doing the 30 Day Shred for 48 days with my walking in between. I am gaining some muscle but even with watching calories I did not lose any more weight.I am kind of stuck there but clothes fit better,smaller sizes and I do feel good.I am hoping that it is true…

I posted the other day about my plateau from February and a poster gave me great advice. If your clothes are fitting better,you went down a size and you see a difference,ignore the scale.Easier said than done but I am trying to listen to that wisdom.:smile:

I know some people do not like Dr.Oz but he had a woman on the other day that made great sense to me.She said our hormones have a lot to do with weight. She said to increase protein so that more than half of your daily calories is protein.This should jump start metabolism and weight loss.I am trying it to see if it…

thanks,that makes me feel better about this.I know I am ok on some level but then on another on get discouraged.

I have been at a plateau since February.The scale doesn't move BUT my clothes are looser,I have more defined muscles and I feel wonderful so I know eating 1200 calories per day and working out are working for me.I have built muscle which they say weighs more and this way of life is my new way of life.I also try zigzagging…

Don't be so hard on yourself. This week has been terrible for our area and the stress and worry takes its toll in many ways. Relax and get back to your regiment when you can and just chalk this week up to well, Sandy.

I always make sure my blood sugar level is level. I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks per day. This has helped me on my journey. I get hungry but it's usually close to snack time or meal time.

What a great forum! Thank you,Barbie! My thoughts and goals: Prepare for the holidays with the least amount of stress I can accomplish Stay on my eating plan and exercise regiment so I can "breeze" through the holidays eating wise Be kind each day to someone who is in need of support or help. Meditate more often Be the…

lol i needed this in nj tonight

Mine was elevated and I lost weight,I exercise and take fish oil and non-flush niacin daily.It went down dramatically with no meds. But how high is yours for the immediate time while you do these things?

Orange juice and balsamic vinegar.I use cranberry balsamic. I guess you can add some olive oil too and spice it up if you want with pepper etc.

Hi,Been going at this for a little over a year.Feel free to add me and good luck!:smile:

I was hesitant to reply because a year ago I was "thick" but after going at this for a year I can say I am getting leaner. It's hard work,no easy fixes,it's frustrating and depressing at times but it is worth. Friend me if you'd like

Like it? NO but I have to do it. The person who said 2 weeks makes a habit is correct. I need it now,my body gets angry if it doesn't work out!

Great! You look wonderful and I wish you and your wife a beautiful life now that you are healthy it will be!

On MFP for one year and I have lost 47 lbs. Friend me if you want!

I find keeping my blood sugar on level helped me with my weight loss and that meant 3 meals and 2 snacks per day

You look great and almost like a different person with your hair a new color.

I have been doing this for one year already and I remind myself it takes time. I gained over a period of years so losing will be even slower.I don't let the scale get me down.I let the clothes do the talking and the feeling I get when I look at myself and see the difference.I also try to not feel I am depriving myself. I…

This site has helped me tremendously,from support to recipes to maintaining my diary. Best of luck!:smile:

different from regular warts. I used pumice daily to shave them down. I hear removal is painful more so than the plantar wart

Wow I can see a change in your shape Keep it going!!!

There was an article on the Yahoo home page over the weekend. It said the only way to lose weight is to eat less. Exercise alone will not do it. Two years ago I walked 2-3 hrs a day and didn't change my diet.I didn't lose a pound. I now do both-diet and walking and/or weights and I have had success. I think everyone 's…

These answers make me feel like I am normal. I weigh more after working out. I retain water on these hot,humid days. I try to not let the scale get the better of me,but it does. I focus on my clothes fitting,feeling better and getting compliments that I have lost weight. It is a battle everyday but I am up to the…

I was in on the plateau for about 3 months. People said I was getting thinner but the scale never budged. I changed my workouts and I did zigzag calories. I workout almost everyday and I could see a difference in the way my clothes fit me but to have that scale not move is very frustrating. I just tell myself this is how I…

Pizza cheese is salty and it could just be that. Don't fret just keep at it. Losing weight is not as easy as gaining it and it is a process and a lesson in patience!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love to "shop" in my attic and now that I can fit into so much more, it is even more fun!

I am doing zigzagging. Look it up on the net It helps with plateaus etc
