I started last week (but fell off this weekend) but I'm back on it! lol Does anyone else feel like it doesn't burn enough cals. I added cardio to mine, by doing the elliptical or treadmill before or after, however I just relocated for the summer and have to find a gym. So right now I've just been doing 30DS on my computer…

The ENTIRE snack pack of twix candy all 8 pieces at 80 cals each....you do the math!! LOL....still my weakness! :laugh:

Always Infinity pads, they're the BEST and it doesn't feel like a normal pad. Get the orange or green one- full coverage front to back with wings!

Modify anything that hurts you! It should not hurt. If it's lateral raises, try without weights. If it is lunges, don't go down as deep. I've had to modify plenty of things because I stay in an apartment and the impact may awake my neighbors. Just try to be light - you will still feel the burn. Don't worry, Jillian won't…

I usually wear gym shorts (the longer ones) or sweat pants becaus shorts rise up sometimes. I wear a regular t-shirt that fits, nothing too baggy because when you get sweaty it'll stick to you and stuff. I've worn yoga pants before, but I have too much thighs and butt and don't like feeling uncomfortable. Also, I've worn…

happy belated birthday, you look wonderful! the picture with the two of you in those pants is such a powerful testament to hard work and dedication. Congrats!

Your measurements HAVE to be off, you look so much smaller!!!! lol Great job!

OMG AND I LOVE HOW YOU DID TH BC!!!! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!

I'm in!! I'm on Day 7, about to start level 2 today!

You look great!! Keep it up!!

Thanks so much!!:smile:

Thanks everyone, I'm still researching it, but I keep seeing rave reviews about it so I was just wondering :)

[/quote] I would suggest a diet modification. 30 day shred will only work if your nutrition is on point. I don't care what the program promises. [/quote] I have been cooking more and eating out less, and eating more fruits, veggies, and protein...however I do love pasta, potatoes, and bread in any form. I'm losing weight,…

Thanks for the help everyone, I really appreciate it. Feeling a little better today, but I think after this exam and homework I'll be better! :)

Praise God for your testimony! Thanks for sharing!

YOU LOOK GREAT! YOU JUST ENCOURAGED ME!

Hi! I suggest you get on youtube and look at people like thomasadrianna or transitioning tutorials. Everything is on youtube. I do my own quick weaves with cheap hair and it still looks cute (usually a bob or even 14" when I'm feeling up to it). But, I just wash and braid my hair - using a leave in conditioner. I place a…

THANKS EVERYONE!!! THIS REALLY HELPED, I'M GONNA TRY SOME THINGS NOW. THE ENDS OF MY HAIR NEVER CURL, I MAY JUST HAVE TO CUT THEM OFF. I HAVEN'T HAD A PERM IN ALMOST TWO YEARS BUT I BELIEVE IT'S ALL GROWN OUT. I NEVER BC'D BUT I DID GET IT TRIMMED A FEW TIMES I WOULD LOVE TO ROCK THE PUFF, BUT IT NEVER LOOKS RIGHT, AND MY…

Just an FYI, my tea was DIVINE and cost me about 80 cals (I HAD to add the honey! LOL). I used Splenda instead of sugar too. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Thanks ladies!! I'm going to put a quick weave in my hair tonight and braid my hair underneath...we'll see how it holds up! Blessings on your journey :)

oooh I never even thought about artificial sweetener, thanks guys!

Stop weighing yourself everyday! It sounds like this weight loss is driving your life instead of enhancing your life. As a female especially, our weight can change from 2:00pm to 7:30pm ON THE SAME DAY! Let your body heal, don't over analyze and stay with it! You're doing great, it's part of the journey (as even I am…

cool! yeah, it's just a head cold, I think i'll go walk around the track before class just to get my blood flowing but no elliptical :( Don't worry, i'm not out to get everyone at the gym! LOL

Thanks everyone!!!

Hey everyone! Feel free to add me too! Best luck with your journey :)

Hey! I'm a senior in college :)

Girl, TRUST TOM will throw your whole body off!! Just don't weigh in for that week at ALL (I typically do the week after TOM to make sure all my water is GONE - lol) Don't stop working out, but instead of doing intense cardio, try walking around the track or outside. Still get some type of physical activity in, maybe yoga…

You can totally do it! I love to eat so I am constantly eating, but instead of doritos, I eat pineapples. Instead of taking a nap, I go walk around campus. It's definitely about choices, you deserve to do something for yourself. You deserve to reach your goal. You owe it to yourself to make something happen for YOU that no…

Definitely try eating something after you work out, or maybe a protein bar before you work out. Also try listening to positive music such as gospel, and encourage yourself during your workout

thanks for the "don't quit" poem! I know the original reference to the other poem and say it all the time, but I'm glad to see this version!! Thanks for the help everyone!! Good look with your journey, you all truly have inspired me to keep going!
