I'm guilty of this too :ohwell: I will be more aware of it now though! I think I'm just naturally more inspired by women, since I can see myself in them

I like old fashioned cooked oatmeal with banana and chocolate chips, or some maple syrup, or banana and peanut butter :) Depends on the rest of my day though bc of calories!

What? I am your "twin"- I'm 5'2 and started at exactly 178! Thank you for the inspiration, awesome job :D

Thanks for all of the advice! I love all of the feedback, I honestly don't feel deprived at 1200 calories on a normal day, I just have to remember not to go under, and not get crazy if I go a little over. The listening to my body part is going to be the hardest part of this journey, since I can confuse hunger with thirst,…

Thank you! Ok, so my BMR is 1,453, times 30% activity level , (I'm doing the 30 day shred and run around with my toddler, so lightly active I would say) equals 1,453+436=1,889. A 500 calorie deficit a day should burn a lb a week... and since my workout burns about 200 calories, if I cut another 300 calories from my…

haha I know what you mean! mine has gone from a frown to an "o" lol congrats!

Started level 3 today- I spent so much time trying to figure out how exactly to do the moves that I think I only got half a workout, but tomorrow its on lol I have no coordination at all so at some points I couldnt figure out exactly how to position myself, I guess at level 3 Jillian is assuming that she doesn't have to…

Just wanted to add that stress also affects your period! If you are seriously stressed that its keeping you up at night that might just be it- I know that I have skipped mine while going through a breakup or school finals, things like that :) I don't think it means anything too serious, just a "perk" of being female-…

Awesome job! Thank you for sharing, this is why I <3 mfp, people like you keep me motivated :)

You look great! I can definitely see it in the waist especially :) Thats funny, one of the things I'm looking forward to is getting dressed up in whatever sexy costume I want lol

I've only tried chobani, but I didn't like it either! I kind of ate the fruit with a tiny bit of yogurt on my spoon- I really wanted to love it lol

Wow, you are a whole new person! Thank you for sharing :) A fabulous before and after that includes a tardis? Great start to my day lol

Haha I don't have it memorized yet, like in level 1 I would know when we are getting to the end- so I was like nooooo both days, hopefully I'll remember today so it's not such a shock! But I'm still doing it anyway, and that is a far cry from the "old" me, who would have never even gotten to level two :)

I'm so glad everyone says it gets easier! I did day 2 of level 2 today and was begging for Jillian to please stop lol I'm much sweatier and hotter than level one, but that is a good thing, just hate it while I'm doing it thank God its only 20 minutes!

thank you! my dvd said that it came with one but I couldn't find it on the site, you're a life saver :)

Thats awesome! I know that good that feels to not have to shop in the "big" section :)

I feel the same way sometimes! I don't want to eat just to fill up my food diary, so sorry no help, but I feel ya!

Just moved to Hamilton :)

Wow, total inspiration- I'm pretty much where you started, it seems like such a long road ahead!

Congratulations! I know how good that feels :D
