I've only done level one so far, but it sure makes me sore! Had to stop due to being sick with bronchitis, but I'm planning on starting again next week. I like it!

I think I'm carb sensitive and I really don't have a good handle on it yet! I feel better eating more fat/protein but in my head, I still want to be "low-fat." A lot of days I end up going over on fat, but still not getting enough protein. If anyone has had success eating low carb/low fat, I would love to befriend you so I…

Never heard that before! I LOVE caffeine and the only negative thing I've noticed is that if I have too much (we're talking more than 4 cups of coffee per day) I feel shaky and wired!

Hahaha! That's hilarious! I'm a red-head so that would be super easy :) ETA: I'm super-embarrassed now! LOL

Mmm, those Joe-Joe's are evil. I can't even buy them cause I'll eat the whole box! I love the Fage Fat-Free Greek Yogurt, the McCann's Steel-cut Irish Oats in the can, and of course the WINE! Three-buck Chuck baby!

LOL! Major lightbulb moment here... I'm not vegetarian, but am not the greatest cook, especially when it comes to things like steak and chicken. I'm always paranoid about cooking meat myself. Guess I need to learn how to do it! Boy, am I feeling kind of dumb right about now.

I've been on nuva ring for a year and though I initially gained about 5 lbs, that came off pretty easily once my body got used to it. It did make me really hungry the first few weeks.

I'm really interested in primal eating, but can't get past the fat. I bought full-fat cottage cheese at the store instead of my usual low-fat, and haven't been able to eat it (though I have no problem feeding it to my DS)! Plus, grass-fed, free-range meat is so super-expensive for my budget, and I freakin' love beans.

Boy did I fall off the wagon last week! I got so busy with school and my son that I was way too tired to work out after he went to bed. That also happens to be the only time I can get homework done, so homework won! I need to figure out a better system.... maybe getting up early, though DS gets up at 5:30 anyway so that…

No loss this week for me. Holding steady at 148... tempted to make it my GW and just concentrate on toning up!

Mmm! That sounds tasty :)

Don't quit! Tomorrow is another day and you will do better :) Just let it go and move on.

Don't marry him!

I did Day 4 last night after DS went to bed. Boy, did I ever have to FORCE myself to do it! I was glad I did. My muscles are not nearly as sore now and I'm really noticing an increase in strength, though the cardio part still kills me. One of my knees pops with every jumping jack and butt kick! It doesn't hurt, but I don't…

I second this! Thank you for sharing.

Well, I did good on water (been drinking 13 cups a day rather regularly) but only did 45 minutes of exercise. Win some, lose some! LOL Weighed in at 148 today! Yipee!

Ooooh! I love the idea about getting pretty things as rewards :) That sounds like fun. I'd like to get a pedicure after completing 30 Day Shred. Day 3 was a little easier. My sore muscles felt a little better once they warmed up and got into the moves. I have a feeling I'll wake up miserable again tomorrow morning. I…

Something that helps me not eat after dinner is to drink hot herbal tea. I have a 40-oz thermos and make tea in that, so it stays hot all evening and I can just pour a cup whenever I'm tempted to munch. I love tea so I usually end up drinking the whole thing and feeling so full that I can't imagine eating anything before…

Wow, thanks for the encouraging post! I think I have been doubtful about getting results from the workout because it's so short. Though I have to take back what I said yesterday about not being sore. This morning I could hardly get out of bed! LOL Getting my workout in later when my DS goes to his dad's house. I'm going to…

I did level 1 this morning. It's harder than I thought it would be, but I don't feel sore yet. I did have to take a couple of breathers but I think after a few days I'll be fine. Love that it's only 25 minutes! I wish I knew how many calories I burned.

Crown and Diet Coke with a lime wedge has always been my favorite! Not sure how many calories are in it though.

I'm sorry you had it, too! It was rough but the fringe benefit of losing a few pounds helps a little! Here's hoping we're both on the mend :)

Another vote for Nuvaring here. I've only been on it a year but I love it. So easy!

I'm in!

I have that same problem, too. The only way I can get around it is to just not keep it in the house. When my son wants ice cream, we go out for a cup or cone and I take a few bites and he eats the rest! I love ice cream.

Ugh... I haven't been doing the challenges because I've had the stomach flu for the past two days... :( Feeling a little better today though and will at least try to add some friends! The good news is that I have gone from 151 to 149 as a result of my illness. I'm eating crackers and drinking gatorade today...LOL.

Okay, here we go! Starting weight: 151 Losing 10 pounds would put me only 1 pound from my goal weight! Woohooo! Let's do this!

I want to do this, too! I can use all the motivation I can get. But... the thought of weighing myself on Monday scares me to death :)

This time last year... that is what's really depressing! LOL
