Tonight I did the elliptical for 60 minutes and when my feet started going numb, I lifted my foot at the top of the rotation - that actually helped. Maybe try that?

Maybe changing up your workout routine might help? Though I'm going through the same thing actually. I spoke to a trainer at the gym and he said that if I mixed up my cardio workouts it might help? Sorry I'm not a lot of help, but I hope you find something that helps. If you figure out something that works, will you post…

walmart has biggest loser dvd's for $9! The cheapest I've found. I ended up buying ankle weights that can be tightened to fit around wrists - I think that was a better option for me because my hands get sweaty, this way my hands don't.

I did 70 minutes tonight on the elliptical. Oh man I thought I was going die, my feet were so numb I could barely feel them at all. You're not a lone at all. You just have to push through it.

Oh that looks so good! I'm a polish girl, so I totally love sauerkraut! Thanks for the recipe! I'm making a grocery list and I'm putting those ingrediants on it!! If you make it, you'll have to let me know how it turned out! I'll do the same!

I recently made this dish! It's really good but very salty. I don't know if it's the olives and the pimentos plus the extra salt. But it was too salty for me. The next morning my rings were tight too. I could be overly sensitive to that much salt though, I don't know. I served mine with broccoli too. Over all, I'd make it…

Last week 172.5 This week: 172 (woo hoo for -.5) Workouts Last week: 7 days - 30 day shred, plus 4 days 30 minute thigh exercises Workouts This week: 5 days - 30 day shred (3 days level 2, 2 days level 3), 2 days elliptical for 1 hour Week Goal: 170 (crossing my fingers!) I'm feeling stronger now, I can actually do a push…

Great post! Where did you find this? This is the kind of motivation I need.

Thanks for input! I did this today while watching the kids, oh my gosh now my thighs and abs are killing me! That is one heck of a workout!! Thank again! Now I'm going to do squat thrusts (with weights) to amp up for my 30-day Shred workout. I'm so dedicated to thinner thighs!! I hope doing those extra target workouts will…

What are mountain climbers? I tried looking them up but it bring up mountain climbing stuff. LOL

Thank you for the suggestions! I do have a resistance band and never thought of using it like that. Thank you so much! And thank you for the website. I do squats and leg lifts already while watching tv, I wanted to have more to do because they are not as challenging as they first were. I just googled the Windsor Pilates…

I've been surfing the net for thigh exercises. So far the only ones that seem to keep coming up are squats and leg lifts. Any suggestions? Maybe something that can be done while watching tv.

I've been wondering about Level 2. I had a tumor in my knee and had surgery about 8 months ago - so the jumping jacks are really hard on my knee. With level 2 is there a lot of "jumping" around?

I'm so excited! I'm on day 3 and level 1 didn't have me wanting to quit after the first 1 minute of cardio today... unlike the last 2 days. So I might be building up stamina! I'm only using 2.5 lb weights to start - wimpy I know but I have no upper body strength. ;) How exciting!! Hope it's ok that I'm joining you! I'm…

I think I need to be a farmer - grow my own food and raise the animals needed for meat because this is insane!! My daughter has a form of autism... between the vaccines and foods... WTF??

It makes sense why you shouldn't lose more than 2 lbs in a week. But how on the biggest loser do they lose 12, 15, 20 or more lbs in a week? I wonder if they gain it back? I wonder if it's still considered "safe" for them to be losing so much weight. You know?

Thanks for all your responses. I'm happy to know my investments were good ones... I love the idea of a 25 minute workout making me sweat. I enjoy a good kick *kitten* workout now! Though I wish my joints agreed. ;)

Dang girl! That's motivation and determination! I'm impressed! After WATP I'm wiped out! You go girl!

If you're sweating within the first 3 - 5 minutes (according to health.com) and keep on sweating throughout the workout it's high impact. That's all I know but thought I'd pass it along.

I have everything for this - might try it tonight but with gluten free corn bread mix. GF corn bread is pretty tasteless so maybe this will improve it? Thanks for posting!

I ordered this today... along with 30 day shred. I don't know anything about either workout... but hope to burn some good calories with the workouts. Anyone know anything about these?

I ordered the 30 day shred today. It sounds intense... but I'm looking forward to a serious get in gear *kitten* kickin.

Just wondering what you decided to do with your scale delimma?

Never heard of the bender ball! I'm going to google that... sounds interesting. Thanks for posting about it. I'm anxiously hoping to hear more success stories too... for inspiration and motivation!

I read this post, responded and then the Universe cursed me... I totally got mine? WTH? It's 2 weeks early. Ridiculous. So, I didn't exercise and I ate chocolate. :(

I'm curious to know how you figure out what your target heart rate should be. My HRM isn't very fancy... no calorie convertor, just a HRM. My aim to use this is to figure out what an aerobic HR feels like when exercising. So... I'm trying to figure out my THR but there is so much information out there - I found one site…

Warm liquids to soothe your scratchy throat. I had the head cold thing a few days back... just got to keep going. Don't over do it - but maybe a brisk walk. I know it sounds weird but when I moved I felt less achy. (Plus I kept on the motrin.) Hope you feel better. ***Feel Better Vibes***

I didn't buy acai berry juice because of the calorie content - scared me away. WHat a great idea to combine it with club soda and lime! I'm going to try it! Thanks for posting!

That is very interesting...!! I'm having trouble losing the pounds. Maybe I'll shake it up with calories and see what happens! Thanks!

What a logically brillant idea! I'm going to do the "walking" motion and see if that helps me. My feet go numb too... I thought it was my shoes! LOL! Thanks for posting this!!
