Hi. Happy to find this group. I'm on day 15 of the 21 Day Made the Crave devotional and feel like by doing this through Jesus I'm going to be successful for the first time. For example, one day I was coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why I wasn't going to workout one day, and when I opened my devotional it was…

I plan on starting on Monday.

I love Raisin Bran Crunch.

French fries. I'm a carb addict.

I'm 5'4. My goal right now is 135, but my trainer thinks 125, so I'll see how I feel when I get to 135.

I'm a day (technically two since I didn't work out today either) late but would like to join. I pledge at least 30 minutes of exercise each day starting tomorrow, Sunday, March 4th.

I need to get back on track. I've been so exhausted that I haven't worked out since Sunday. I WILL get back on track tomorrow.

I did my first day of level 2. I couldn't do everything but kept up the best I could. I'm looking forward to mastering some of these moves.

I finally finished Day 7 of Week 1. I'm looking forward to starting level 2.

Today was supposed to be Level 1 Day 7 but I couldn't fit a workout in. Will do it tomorrow, and move on the level 2 on Friday.

I just finished Day 6 of Level 1. My plan is the do the first two levels for 7 days each and the levels 3 and 4 for 8 days each. Tomorrow will be my last day of Level 1. I'm ready to move on.

I just finished Week 1 Day 4 and it's kicking my butt. I'm scared to see what the advanced levels look like.

I just finished Week 1 Day 3. My whole body is sore. I used 3lb weights for 30DS and upped to 5lbs for RI30 because 3lbs seemed to easy.

Glad to see there's a group of us on a similar schedule. I just finished Day 2. I wear a heart rate monitor and yesterday I burned 249 and today 240. I think 160 is probably too low of an estimate. I woke up feeling really sore this morning, but was happy to push through and do my workout today. I plan to do it 6 days a…

Honestly whatever works for you is what's best. I tend to exercise in the morning because when I put it off to the afternoon/evening, I'm more likely to be tired and to come up with excuses not to exercise.

Thanks! This advice is all really helpful. Popcorn is a great idea. It used to be a staple of mine but I haven't had it in a while. Good to know that I'm not the only stress eater. Matygr1107 - great job resisting the treat with milk. I'm trying to improve my will power because I'm not doing a good job of resisting…

I plan not to drink because I make bad food choices when I drink. I would recommend bringing a healthy snack like a veggie tray or something like that. I also made some guacamole so I can have a treat that contains healthy fats and not feel deprived. I will eat lighter throughout the day and will exercise today as well.…

I'd say your day wasn't too bad, but I would recommended adding more lean protein.

I'd just move on. When I try to do that. I always end up binging from feeling deprived, so I'd say just forget the "bad" day and have normal day the next day.

I'm 5'4 and my goal is 135. I've been working with a trainer and she thinks I should go to 125. Once I get to 135 I will re-evaluate my goals.

I'm 31. Feel free to add me.

First of all, Happy 40th. Don't beat yourself up. A 40th birthday comes once in a lifetime. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just get back on track today. Don't let one bad day turn into many. Some of the gain is likely water weight. Continue doing what you know works and the weight will come off. Don't be discouraged!

I'm doing it as well. How's it going for everyone? So far so good for me. I had caffeine and sugar withdrawal the first couple days, but now it's getting better.

For my exercising in the morning works best. When I try to exercising is the afternoons or evenings I'm usually tired and make any excuse not to do it. I like getting it checked off my list first thing in the morning.

I'd like to join. Right now I weigh 148 and my goal weight is 135. I'd like to be at my goal weight by the end of the challenge. I also started 30 Day Shred 5 days ago and would like to complete that and do Ripped in 30 after I finish that.

I started 30DS 3 days ago and would recommend that. I'd fallen out of my workout routine and find it helpful to start with a manageable 30 minutes a day to get back into a routine. P90X is great, but quite a time commitment. I plan to work my way up to that.

French fries. They are definitely my downfall.

I got on the scale yesterday and lost 0.6, which is pretty much maintaining but I was happy to see that.
