I am so ready for day eight. :D I'm feeling a shift in my stamina and endurance.

Woohoo! :) It doesn't matter when you start; only that you do! You can do this!

I did SO much grocery shopping yesterday for meal planning for the next two weeks that I came home and passed out once the groceries were put away! Oops. I will probably be doing day five and six today. :)

Day three complete. It was harder to get day three done but I don't feel nearly as sore today (day four). I'll be doing my workout a little later but I'm thinking about hitting the gym as some point too. :)

I needed that laugh and boy can I relate, haha!

No problem! We've all been there. I might be just getting back on the wagon again but I've been where you are. :) ♥ Just get yourself a handy HRM and you'll be on your way to good logging!

The word "sweetie" is very condescending. In fact, everything AllOutof_Bubb has said so far is condescending. That being said, to answer your question, none of us can tell you what you want to hear. It depends on your age, your sex, your weight and your effort put in. It takes me 45 minutes doing the elliptical, treadmill…

That's right, NO rest days .. but if your body tells you to take a day off, don't hesitate to do so! :)

Day two done (yesterday) and man am I sore today! I will be doing day three tonight when my fiance gets home. Way to go everyone! :flowerforyou:

It's my opinion that a spouse should be completely supportive, if not INVOLVED in the process! My fiance and I feel closer than ever when we're planning meals, working out together and seeing the loss. Sure, it means we'll have more opportunity to see other people, but we've been together nine years, our relationship is…

I'm right there with you! I'm giving up soda beginning tomorrow (though I haven't had any in two days so I guess I've already started unofficially, haha). The only things that keep me away from it is binging on water (I call it binging because my normal intake is NONE) and drinking unsweetened tea.

You handled it in stride, haha! Too funny. Good for you, doll! :flowerforyou:

So proud of you Heidi! It really is important to take the time out we need for us, even with a family and other hefty responsibilities on our shoulders. You've done so well already; really excited to do this with you! :)

So am I! :bigsmile: I'm going to hit the gym today, as I've been doing so for the last three days, but I am especially excited to get back to doing my 30DS!

Also, I downloaded and printed this chart to keep myself accountable, so I can see the days I've already accomplished! You can use this one, or Google search for one, since there are many cute and good ones out there!

I've done the 30 Day Shred more than three times, with excellent results. My biggest tip is to TAKE PICTURES. Every level, take a picture! From the side, from the back and from the front! Even if you choose not to share it with anyone, it will help you to see the results! I was stunned to look at my before and after. I…

Way to go everyone! Doesn't matter what day you start; only that you do! :) I'll be starting tomorrow, so I'm going to take my measurements this evening!

Awesome! So excited to see all of you here! :) This is going to be a wonderful month! As for the DVD, you can get it at Wal-Mart or Target for < $10 or look it up on YouTube!

So glad to hear from you ladies! :) Happy you could join us for another round! Injuries can be so rough but October will be a better month! :heart:

This brought me to tears. You have been through hell and back, and you've done so well. You're so strong.

Yum! Good reminder. I love frozen grapes and raspberries.

Not a bad idea! I don't keep soda in the house; I mostly have an issue resisting it when we go out. :frown: Having a water bottle with me on a constant basis might not be a bad idea. I'm really awful with drinking enough water so that might kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

I'll definitely look into it! My father changed his entire outlook and lifestyle last year and nearly eliminated any remnant of his diabetes; it might be that way of eating that he chose to pursue. He has become very dedicated. Unfortunately we don't talk so I can't find out for sure but I will look into it!

I can agree with this. I have no desire to cut out ALL sugar - like you said, sugar isn't necessarily the evil. It's my willpower. I don't pay any mind to fruits or natural products when I look at my sugar intake; it's more like the coffee drinks I choose or the candy I crave late at night.

That's just it for me too. I consume all of the things that make losing weight so difficult. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking I'm not eating or drinking too much, but with two sugary coffee drinks a day, a large soda and cheese with crackers, it all adds up very quickly. That's why I appreciate MFP so much - it keeps…

That's what I did before; and it worked for me too. Everything in moderation, they say, but as a borderline diabetic, I really would like to cut the sugar down and see what else in my diet I can eliminate.

I can relate, very much so. My father's side has struggled with diabetes, and my grandparents and aunt died from complications of it. My father was an easy 350lbs, suffering from minor strokes, fought two different foot ulcers and looked tired and ill all of the time. While I am not close to him, I was always waiting for…

You and I think alike, girl! I recently found the dress I think will make me the happiest on my wedding day, goal weight or not! It's a beautiful chiffon A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline, flower details at the bosom that trail down to a naturally fit waist, and a subtle ruffle skirt. The theme is rustic chalkboard.…

The biggest things I noticed are as seen below: 2/7 - 1,222 calories is not enough for a 35 year old male. You might still be in the technical green, but you are not eating enough. 2/6 - Where is your dinner? A pint of beer is not good reason to skip dinner. 2/5 - Looks good, but again, you're eating too little. You need…
