This is supposed to say I do NOT know...

Update: My second observation day was intense! I don't know how much I'm allowed to share so I'll just say some pretty bad sh** went down. I thought it was exciting!

I've started and stopped 30ds at least four times. This round, I experienced knee pain for the first time. It had me down for a couple days. I started paying more attention to my form. When I am sure not to bring my knee over my toe, I do not have problems. Those side lunges with shoulder raise on Level 1 were the worst.…

Valid point. I do know know from the get-go that it is truly not for me though. I'm going in tomorrow, for the second time, to observe. Will probably get more info to make a more informed decision.

This is great. Thank you.

I know, for real. This is how most of my topics turn out.

I hear ya.

Thank you so so so so so much! You really give me hope because I'm stuck and I have been for a long while. I'm focusing on exercise to hopefully drop some body fat. Your story is going to help keep me going. I just showed your pictures to my fiance. I wear him down with stories like yours so eventually he will let me…

When I was hospitalized and had no appetitie, they gave me Boost shakes and I remember they were tasty. My fiance started drinking them every morning a while back. He stopped because no, they didn't keep him full and they were a little pricey. If they don't put too much strain on your budget, those would probably be good…

My first thought was also Beagle/Spaniel

You beat me to it! I love that video. It taught me "hold the fort" which made sense, but never knew about until this video.

haha, I'm not familiar with that post. Must look into it.

So...I just looked up *kitten* because I never heard that before... Just use the biting his lip thread. That one works :)

Uh, sure! Can we get anything else or does it end at autographs?

Yes... his potential assistance with household chores...yes. Don't forget to record calories burned.

I'm so happy right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking good! I can relate to the chugging along, but getting frustrated because the scale doesn't move. I'm back to counting again, this time determined not to give up, whether the scale moves or not. Like your doctor said, I'm trying to keep in mind that I'm improving my health, regardless. Well done! Congratulations!

I love the work out! I've never finished all three levels though. I could start level 2 again any day now, but I'm trying to stick with level 1 this time (with heavier weights) until I completely kick it's butt. Level 2 was torture! I quit before I finished that one. I hear 3 isn't as difficult as 2. I usually can see a…

Yoovie got banned? That makes me laugh, a WTF kind of laugh. I've been watching her for a long time (wow, that sounds weird) and was always inspired. Banned? Really? Is this over the tweety bird thing?! :(

I'm loving the feedback you got on this post and want to save it in my topics. Thanks OP and to those who responded!

Same here. WOW! I was away for a while and I've recently returned to find out I can easily consume 1000 calories in alcoholic beverages alone though...so I need to work on that. This week I'm reducing my calories by a couple hundred each day to make up for a night out drinking over the weekend. Another eye-opener!

I'm with you! I closed my diary months ago and just reopened it...though I'm not sure if I opened it for just friends or for everyone. I told myself I was closing it because I was too tempted to lie about what I was consuming when someone might see and criticize me. Really, I just wasn't logging properly, if at all, and…

APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE!!!!! Best success story I think I've ever read. I especially like your tips on motivation. So true! Well done, Sir.

First off, congratulations! You accomplished so much and I'm proud of you without even knowing you! I've been working at this for quite some time, but because I haven't truly dedicated myself like you obviously have, I still have a long way to go. My fiance currently looks like your before picture. He just started counting…

Thanks, that's what I was thinking really. I don't want to get into bad habits and train my body to move incorrectly. I don't want to hurt myself and hinder my progress when I've only just begun.

At the end of Level 1 I had gained 4-5 pounds, but my inches had dropped and according to my calculations at fat 2 fit radio, my body fat percentage had dropped some. I'm just about to finish level 2. I've seen no further increase on the scale, even during TOM (which is normally a 5ish pound gain by itself). I'm going to…

I thought MFP had ALL the answers.

bump so I can watch later

My Angus wants my attention during the day ONLY when I sit down to do something at the computer. My hand grabs the mouse and his snout is hitting my hand. It's cute until I'm trying to do something on a deadline. It's like HE KNOWS. What a jerk. And the love of my life.

Around Christmas we had an argument and he told me he was "worried about us". New Year's Eve, he told me we needed to talk. I thought he was about to break up with me; it was terrible. Then he pulled out the box and asked if I would spend the rest of my life with him. Talk about an emotional roller coaster!!! I love him,…
