I'd suggest this: http://www.breckbrew.com/brews/vanilla-porter It's delicious. ;)

I love everything about this lol.

Good post.

The investigator in me couldn't leave well enough alone. I called every number I could find to actually speak to someone on Jillian's team about this. When I finally reached someone, they said that they were told to suggest resting in between workouts. Apparently, that came from "the top". They can't say much more than…

I see, I see! Well, do YOU have any rewards in mind for yourself? :)

I posted this last night in my introduction: Some of my goals are: Do Shred consistently as prescribed by Jillian (2 days Shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days Shred, 1 day rest) without fail Get back to "Onederland" Hit my post-onederland goal of 100 lbs total weight loss (178lbs) Aside from Shred, I'm also following the "17 Day…

Done and done! Thanks, guys! Good job everyone! Keep at it!

My name's Rachel and I presently reside in sunny Orlando, FL. Soon, I'll be relocating to Denver for my job. Yeah, that's in Colorado. The fittest state in the nation. I'm trying to get a little bit of a head start before I get there and I'm the odd woman out! LOL I'm 5'6" and I weigh 223.5 lbs as of today. Actually, my…

Frogs & the Illuminati lol

I'll be doing day 3 in the morning, but I wanted to tell you guys that I enjoy imagining that I'm punching the *kitten* out of Jillian, Natalie and Anita during the cardio punch moves! LOL >:/

I'll be doing some light yoga tonight, but I'll be doing day 3 of Shred tomorrow morning first thing. I cranked out 3.5 hours of sleep last night. My body needs rest. That is the most loving, compassionate thing I can do for myself right now. See you guys tomorrow!

Day 2: DONE! Definitely much harder today. The burn from yesterday kicked in right around 11AM today. It was surprisingly bad. Can't take measurements because I cannot find my measuring tape. >:/ Soundtrack for today's success: Title: The Era When We Sang Artist: Blue Sky Black Death (totally not what you'd think they…

Just finished day 1! I expected to feel the way Rocky looked when he came out on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with his arms in the air... but that would mean I'd have to be able to actually lift my arms without making an awful cringe. P.S. 3lb weights are really heavy! lol They're all I've got, though!…

I'm FINALLY in. Really excited about this and I'm looking forward to having the support of the MFP communities throughout the journey.

You say that you're "being told" these things. In some cases, we are in circumstances that prevent us from "hearing" --- but it's your choice to actually listen and believe them. If hearing these kinds of negative, demeaning remarks is OPTIONAL, choose wisely and remove yourself from the situation. You're still young,…

http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/top-12-healthy-frozen-dinnersThis list might be helpful to you. *The Mayan Harvest Bake is SO good!! Typically, I try to eat fresh, unprocessed foods (which can be incredibly challenging for obvious reasons)... but the results are way better. There's a really cool blog I read from a girl…

I'm 5'6" & weigh 220lbs currently and I live in Orlando, FL. I totally wear a bikini. I opted for the "shorts" version because I feel more comfortable, personally. I don't hate on anyone who has the balls to expose themselves and be more vulnerable to criticism for the sake of their own desires. There's a line from "The…

That's my friend!!!!! You look fantastic! So proud of you!

Huge results, girlfriend. Not a thing to be embarrassed about!

Ugh!! Be still my heart! *melt* He is such a lover. <3 What a beautiful memory to have.

Do you like hummus? If you have a food processor or immersion blender, it's super easy to make at home.

It's tough, but you've gotta do it! Your body needs those macronutrients so that it can work the way it's meant to work. If you like salad, use spring mix or arugula as your greens (I actually mix both). The deeper green the leaf, the more nutritional value. And mix up raw veggies. Sometimes it's helpful to pre-make a…

Speaking only from personal experience and preference, I love it. I think one of the most important things to consider when practicing as a newcomer is compassion for the body. There are a lot of movements that may not feel "right" for you if you do them the way the person on the next mat over is doing them. Really check…

What are you talkin' about? That looks delicious and so CONVENIENT! lol (;

P.S. I added burpees to the exercise selections. (; *I used information I found on livestrong.com (which pulled the info from http://www.nutristrategy.com/).

Read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Radical-Acceptance-Embracing-Heart-Buddha/dp/0553801678 “Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering,” says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in…

My pleasure, dear! Thanks for friending me --- I'm good for a laugh every now and then. (;

^ That's wise. Close your eyes and imagine yourself saying sorry to yourself. Imagine yourself saying, "I forgive you" to yourself. You're doing the best you can. Be compassionate to yourself on this journey.

Speaking from my own research, exploration and experience, the best advice I can give is: 1. Make visiting the doctor for a thorough examination a priority. *Through my annual pap & blood work, I confirmed that I had Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and that my hormones were not balanced. After I tackled that obstacle, I was…
