Sour patch kids (or fruits or watermelon slices). I bought a large, 11 serving bag thinking that it was cheaper than buying the medium sized bag. I would just divide it into individual servings and put those in plastic baggies and have 11 days worth of candy goodness as treats...yea, right. Whole bag was gone in two days.…

This is exactly the same reason why I weigh myself every morning.

I'm a big fan of Special K too! My favorite is the vanilla flavor.

I have to log my gum because I'm a chain chewer when it comes to gum - I just go through the entire pack. All of those 5 cal pieces really add up so it's really curbed my habit. I log everything I eat.

I'll probably be the only dissenting voice here, but I wasn't a fan of them. I had the sour cream and onion flavor. The serving size is fdefinitely reasonable, I only had half servings when I did take it for lunch. The taste seemed off to me, but I wasn't disappointed that I had given them a try : ) Edit to answer the…

Try having some more protein in the morning! A typical breakfast for me is two egg whites with a slice of turkey bacon, a multigrain english muffin with some slices of tomato with black tea. I try to keep breakfast under 250 cal, lunch between 300-400 cal, and dinner around 500. I workout in the mornings before work, but…

I was just checking the boards for this exact subject since I just had a sweets binge tonight and am feeling a pretty low right now. I have already had a talk with myself and don't plan on doing anything like this again anytime soon. I was doing so well eating right and working out almost everyday, but I think I was…

I only did the first level of the butt bible when it was available through the on demand exercise channel, but I liked the workout and my poor bottom was pretty sore after that workout. Sorry that probably wasn't too helpful for you!

5'4" 145 27 F 1200 calories per day, usually don't eat back my exercise cals.

We have a Schwinn 431 (not sure if this one is manufactured anymore, but I'm sure there is a substitute). I love this machine!

I'll do that, seems a lot less defeating!

I've done jumping jacks before no problem. Now that you mentioned that, it probably is the butt kicks. When I do the workout tomorrow morning I'll switch those up for something else and see how it goes. Thanks! Looks like I'll be starting my 30 days over again.

This workout destroys my knees for some reason! Ugh! I have no problem with lunges, squats, etc. when I do any other workout videos, but four sessions into 30DS and my knees are aching. The muscle soreness I can handle, but the knee pain is a whole nother story. At this point, I'm planning to do 30DS first day, eliptical…

I'm in! I just completed my day one workout. I have been working out pretty much everyday for the last week and a half so this first day of 30DS wasn't as killer as the first time I tried to do it a couple months ago when I first ordered the DVD. All that said, it was still quite a workout and I just know that I'm going to…

Good for you saying no to that cake! I also have a hard time resisting cake and I usually rationalize up and down why I should have a piece (or a second). But that was the old me so I'm going to channel these thoughts this weekend when I'm at a wedding! I need to stay focused! Maybe I'll just hit the dancefloor when they…

I am just starting off and been working out everyday for the last 7 days. I'm like you were, very determined and wanting to lose weight in chunks NOW. I think I finally over did it with the butt bible video yesterday. Movement seemed to help the soreness so I got on the elliptical this morning, but my legs are beyond sore…
