It's not just red wine, it's all alcohol! It sucks!! I went out both nights this past weekend and am pretty sure that's the culprit for gaining a pound! I guess the word is moderation....

I love shrimp too so I'm all about searching on food network to find something that's low in fat/calories to make with them. I saw this recipe on the website and thought i'd try it out this week. It looks yummy. I'd probably serve it with a salad or maybe some fresh green beans. The link's below:…

Hey Kerri! I just took a look at the last few days of your diary and it looks like you're really lacking on protein. I know you said that you take vitamins and iron (and so do I) but it's really important that you get the other nutrients and energy within those proteins daily. You don't have to just eat meat, beans, nuts,…

I was out of town this weekend so I didn't get the chance to do my workout Saturday or Sunday. I think I'm going to do L1 today for the last day and switch over to L2 tomorrow morning. Today is L1-D7 (should be day 9 but I didn't do it Sat/Sun). For those of you that have done L2, how much harder is it and are there any…

Count me in on the challeneges! I did Monday's and hadn't even joined the group yet!

I was going to give you the same advice. Be careful how much sugar and carbs you intake. Both of those will definitely slow weight loss. There isn't much more to add to what viviakay, I think she pretty much summed it up. Don't get discouraged. I know it's a tough battle. I've been doing it my whole life. Just stay focused…

Today will be D5 L1 for me and it does get easier. I usually do the dvd in the morning but I'm pushing it to this afternoon to give my knees a bit of a rest. They're really sore so I'm trying to give them some down time. Does anyone else have sore shoulders after the workout? I feel like my arms may fall off. :tongue: Keep…

LOL this is HILARIOUS! I feel the same way. I just finished L1D4 and I can already feel the difference. I don't have anything to measure myself with but I did get on the scale yesterday and I was down 3 pounds since Friday. I guess Jillian is no joke. I still think she's evil though!!!

Mine are pretty much the same as everyone elses: 1. I ate way way way more than I should have. 2. If I don't get some sort of excercise and I'm stuck at home I snack constantly. 3. Exercise is actually good for you. ( I use to be scared that I'd keel over and die if I had any physical exertion.) 4. Healthy food doesn't…

I put it in under circuit training. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Be careful with this and make sure you research your surgeon before you get it done. Mine got infected and had to be taken out. I was in the hospital for two weeks. It was the first time this had happened to my surgeon so make sure you check up on the doctors that you'll be going to.

Level 1 - Day 1 done. I was using 3 lb hand weights and was wishing I had bought the 2 lb ones! I had been doing weight machines for my arms at the gym and they're nothing compared to this! Holy Cow!! I'm sure I'm not gonna want to move tomorrow but doing this has motivated me even more because I WANT to do it. (Which for…

I just picked up two of them: 30 Day Shread and the Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. I'm so excited to start them. I also bought 3 lb hand weights and a yoga mat. I ready to watch the pounds drop off!

Thanks everyone for your help! I'm going to pick up a couple of them today and give them a try. I mean, even if I can't move tomorrow, it's just the weekend so that's ok! I'll just plop my butt in a chair by the pool and call it a day!

I feel the same way. I've set my calorie allowance at 1200 and feel guilty if I go over. I know I have my exercise calories to rely on and that's all fine and dandy but I for some reason feel good seeing the you've completed your diary under your goal calorie count. I was in the same boat as you, eating a bunch of bad crap…

Wow what an inspirational story. I now feel like my 175lb loss is possible!! Thank you for sharing!

Last year when I was doing WW when it was my TOM I went up 4 lbs. Don't get frustrated. I would maybe try to cut back on the excercise calories that you eat. Maybe this will help a little. Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat too! Just think of this as another reason to be more focused and determined. Don't let…

Count me in! I've already lost a pound so far this week! My own July challenge was to lose 15 pounds!! I want to fit into a pair of white pants i bought in Feb to wear this summer! :tongue: Good luck everyone!!!!
