Apparently Jillian recommends at least 1 day or rest and at least 1 day of cardio for ANY of her programs. :]

That is really amazing!! :D I love connecting with my horse on -that- level. WTG! :D

I've been trying to think of what i'd like. I seriously have so many LOL I guess i'd have to say an Andalusian. I loved Valida so much, I would give a heck of a lot to see her back in her prime. As for color I'm not super picky but if it was my dream it would have to be either black, dun, or cremello. I'd be happy with any…

Yes, I'm using 3lb ones now. I have 5lb but i'll wait till it gets easier. LOL How is everyone doing today? I must say my legs are still sore as all heck. That is the number 1 thing that is sore. Everything else is tolerable LOL I looove when we do the punches it's like a mini break for me!!

BEACH BALL Use any rubber or plastic ball as long as it is at least a foot in diameter. Sit on a hard chair that allows your knees to sit at right angles to the floor. Scoot to the edge of the chair so that your thighs are completely off of it, and place the beach ball between your knees. Squeeze the beach ball between…

Oh wow! It's been great getting to read all about you and your horses! It's amazing just how much of a positive impact they play in our daily lives! Can't deny what great weight loss motivation they are either! I look forward to hearing more from you and seeing what discussions we come up with! Maybe a group challenge…

Did anything help make it grow back? I used to have such thick beautiful hair :(

I have to agree - my weight has been the number one thing stopping me from accomplishing my equestrian goals. I'm so worried what people think, say, and I most certainly don't want to hurt my horse! Fortunately he gets mistaken as a draft horse he's so large and I know he doesn't have too much trouble carrying my butt…

Oooh that is seriously amazing!! I used to work at a barn but I don't anymore. I currently board my horse as well. Kinda makes me want to stop avoiding so many corners haha. I tend to do a lot of shortcuts. Now i'll groom a little more - with a little more elbow grease, ride a little longer, and clean stalls randomly just…

Bmckinneybc- I looooove Arabians! Bahaha. LIke I said my first horse was one. An ex-endurance mare herself. They are another one of my favorite breeds. They are actually what my fiance grew up riding and showing. He was biiiiig into western. I'm into western myself but like I said I want to try other things as well.…

Yayyy! More people to join me on the journey. Yes, I seriously LOVE the 30DS and being as it's 20 minutes I don't keep looking at the time left going "Oh dear god, 40 more minutes!!" I feel so accomplished after I finished and I can feel the difference! <3 You can do it ladies!! :]

Justwanderful- That's so amazing you don't need Tank anymore! I can only imagine how calling ahead so they can find a horse 'suitable' would make you feel. Argh. :( But what a success!! Thats just awesome!!! Katla49 - Lord knows I wouldn't be able to post to save my life right now. Your poor knees. I bet that was so…

xxghost - I've always wanted to try jumping!! I too felt like I would be way too big. -- The first horse I owned was an ex-endurance arab. She was amazing. Unfortunately due to financial issues I had to rehome her it broke my heart I still with I could get her back. :( She was tiny 14.2hands. The second horse i've owned…

I would love for you to join me! I'm the same way. I've joined and fizzled out a few times. Never without results -- I just don't have enough support and when the going gets tough and I get distracted...I forget to come back. I completed day 1 of the 30ds. It kicked my butt. I remember doing it a year or so back and I was…

Oh I just LOVE appaloosas. One of the first horses I ever rode was an appy. I love the breed, their temperament, and color patterns. I think whenever I can afford to get another horse, it'll most definitely be an appaloosa or at least a cross. I know what you mean when you say balance issues. I feel like if I was a bit…

I really need to go to the doctor. I'm almost 99.9% positive I have PCOS. The only reason I haven't gotten it taken care of earlier is because I never had insurance. When I did go in I had almost $1000 in doctor bills for just a general gyno app. - I have insurance now and I don't really know why I put off going. Nerves I…

Meeeee!!!! I started P90x Back in Feb and I LOVED IT! - Though I ended up stopping because I started a new job and I was so extremely sore and tired because my job is physical labor and by the end of the day I was dead and still trying to get in the swing of things. Now tat school is ending and i'm comfortable in my job…

Day one down! Woooy! It was fun though. I was able to do most of it. The knee bending killed me because my knees were already sore but other than that I really enjoyed it! I'll have to take my measurements tonight still. Can't seem to find my tape measure...

Stumbled upon this and boy am I glad! I was wondering if there was a board like this! My name is Chelsea and I own a beauuuutiful Arabian mare named Gypsy. I 've had her almost 2 years now. I learned to ride on a Twalker named Rex and a saddlebred X named Scarlett. Both were such sweet hearts! I do mostly western riding.…

I have 30DS and I haven't tried it yet so I'm totally in! :) I'll alternate it with Yoga as well! Not sure if i'll do the yoga every day or every other day. Depends on how sore I am. Which i'm sure I will be at first! I heard it's pretty hardcore! But that sounds like what i'm lookin' for! I'll be sure to take my…

I just started P90x with my fiance and roommate Monday. I'm excited for today. Plyo kicked my buttttttt last night. I do love it though! I haven't hopped on the scale yet I plan to do it Friday. Boy are my legs sore. It's really easy for me to say motivated, especially with my guy working out with me. I'm kinda trying to…

Thanks I appreciate it! :)

Hello fellow MFP-ers! How're you? :heart: Well My name is Chelsea, I'm 20, 21 in May, and have been overweight my entiiiire life. Or at least from what I can remember haha. This October I just recently got engaged and my wedding is on October 21, 2010. That among a few other reasons are why I am on a mission to lose some…
