  • You will lose inches everywhere. Cup sizes change when your rib cage area shrinks. So if you go down around, your cup size will go up even though your boobs haven't grown. Just went bra shopping and had this happen.
  • So what did you do for him?
  • I prefer Optimum Nutrition brand for price and I like the taste. As for pluses and minuses: It assists me to hit my protein target on a daily basis with convenience and flavor. Minuses, makes me fart a ton. [/quote] Had to laugh at this one. I have the same issue
  • I have to agree here. Just take it as a compliment!
  • I asked my two sons, ages 21 and 23. One immediately said, "Lame." Then he said, it doesn't matter if it is your girlfriend. The other said, "Sure, whatever." lol not much help.
  • When cooking dried beans, if you don't have time to soak them or forgot to, just add a little baking soda, less than half a teaspoon, and they will soften up quickly. To RadBarb: Bump lets you stay connected to this particular topic. If you comment on a topic you can go back to "My Topics" in "Community" and you can find…
  • every day can cause serious knee problems, you NEED rest days.I wouldn't do more than 2 in a row without taking a day off (on which you can do something else if you want, just not the shred...go for a walk, or something...) [/quote] Thanks, I have taken a couple of days off. It was so much better the next day. :bigsmile:
  • Finished day 6, that is 6 workouts in 8 days. It was harder today than ever. Think I need to hydrate more. No movement in weight or inches. Determined to continue. So...of those who have done this before, should I count the days as just days I do the video or should I just just go by the days of the month, as saying I am…
  • 30 Day Shred is a work out video by Jillian Michaels. I uses a method of 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of ab work. Then it repeats for three sets of exercises. You use weights in the strength training part. You are supposed to do it for 30 days in a row. Many people have had knee…
  • How many calories are you eating a day? You don't have to cut out everything. Let yourself have some salty or sweet things. Even save calories so you can have a couple of Dove dark chocolate pieces so you don't feel deprived. This has to be a life change and it is unreasonable to think you will never eat sugar or chips…
  • Started the shred tonight. Had some knee pain afterwards. Going to see if I can keep it up. I had read some people are doing it every other day. It doesn't say that on the DVD. So...it is meant to be done every day, right?
  • I highly recommend going to a physical therapist to have them evaluate you. They can see if you are doing something while running that is causing pain and recommend specific exercises to remedy the problem. If you continue to run and injure yourself you will likely end up with a chronic pain issue that will take a long…
  • Can someone explain the Insanity program to me. Sounds like you need to be in pretty good shape to start it out.
  • Wow! you are an inspiration!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
  • I have made a fat free spinach dip using fat free sour cream, ff Greek yogurt, and some ff mayo. I put lots of steamed, chopped spinach in it with some chicken bullion granules, garlic, and whatever spices sound good. Sometimes I use curry or lemon pepper. The mixture is always different depending on how much of what is in…
  • It is hard to be motivated when you feel that you don't really look too bad. I put a pic of myself at the weight I want to be again on my fridge. I also wrote down the reasons I want to loose weight on a 3x5 card and read over it a couple of times a day. I have a few other cards. One says, "I may not care this second, but…
  • Yep, just jump back on the bandwagon and get going again. Yay for you for keeping on. :)
