Great list, thanks!

Perfect! What did you think of the video? I think I'm going to move on to Level 2 tomorrow....

I used canned goods for the first week, because I didn't have any weights yet. :smile: Then I bought 3 lb weights, and that seemed to be good for me.

I bought a Polar F4 yesterday and used it for the first time this morning doing the 30 Day Shred video. I had been logging the 30 Day Shred as Circuit training for my weight which is 170. That was estimating 206 calories for the 20 some minutes the video takes. When I used the my new HRM this morning, it gave me total…

Edamame. I get the steamfresh bags you put in the microwave. I could eat it everyday!

Very tricky! ~ I like it! Thanks for the tips!

Today was my second day doing 30 day shred, and I'm *planning* on doing it every day at least for the first 30 days. I'm wondering what size weights to start with though, right now I'm using canned goods (yeah really) because I haven't made it to the store to buy actual weights yet. The pushups are killer, and I'm even…

Well good. I'll put that silly measuring cup away for now. :happy:

How do you measure lettuce in cups? The package says it is 5 ounces. Do you get a measuring cup and just smash it in there?!

mmmm.... this one looks good

BTW, cute Basset, Bamboo.... I have a basset too and she is so very cute and also so very very frustrating!

I've had those days... although today I'm having a hungry day.... I've eaten my normal stuff including snacks. but I'm just starving still! I keep drinking water but then I just have to go more ;) But I have my first session with a personal trainer today so I guess I'll be burning some extra calories!!!

Last night I made Turkey Chili: 1 medium onion pan oil spray 1 lb white meat ground turkey 1 large can pinto beans 1 large can whole tomatoes, ripped apart 2-3 Tbsp Southwest Seasoning (I used Pampered Chef) Spray the pan, cook onions until tender, add ground turkey and cook through. Drain pinto beans, add to pot. Rip…

I agree with getting the Nalgene bottles, that's what I use. But for those times that you have to use the throw-away plastic bottles, just write "Fertilizer" on the bottle in black pen!

I was on steroids for a medical condition on and off all last year as well, so feel your pain. I would drink full glasses of water before I ate any meal to make myself feel fuller, and I ate alot of plain quaker oats which was filling. You're definitely going to be hungrier, but don't be too hard on yourself.... I wish you…

Good article, thanks for posting! I like the idea about having a minty taste in your mouth will make you less likely to crave the snacks.

I am playing volleyball tonight... coed adult rec league... so much fun! What is this 30 Day Shred people are talking about?

I was on the Atkin's diet about 7 years ago, and lost 40 pounds within about 6 months. I used Ketone strips every other day to check for ketosis, and was very strict about it. It worked well to lose the weight quickly but... it got to be where I was lightheaded alot and didn't have any energy. I couldn't stay on it after…

Welcome! What is the Cambridge diet like?

Haha! My 14 year old is the same way. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and smile. ;)
