I love my cottage cheese straight up! But in the summer, I love to eat it with right out of the garden tomatoes. Yum. Yum.

Absolutely don't give up. When I hit a plateau recently, a friend of mine suggested that I look for hidden sugars in the foods I was eating. Who knew my healthy greek yogurt had 21 grams of sugar in it! I eliminated that sugar and also took a look at sugars in my salad dressing - even though it was low fat, it had a lot of…

Sounds wonderful!

I'm a big fan of tuna and low fat cottage cheese - high protein and low carbs. Usually bring about 6 ritz crackers and a nice salad.

1/2 of an apple for a snack...

I was a daily chocolate eaters as well. It didn't have to be much, but I typically ate something chocolate every day. You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get with that first bit of chocolate! I found that the EAS Advantedge Carb Control Chocolate Fudge protein shake will satisfy my chocolate fix. I now drink one of these…

This group is really interesting to read. I do have difficulty losing weight and have to be extremely good with my diet to do so. I just thought it was because I'm in my late forties and that my metabolism had slowed down. I have never been to endocrinologist and am now wondering if I should do that. My hair loss slowed…

I did the 30DS in March as well and never did make it to level 3. I did however, lose 4 inches overall and 3.6 pounds. Now I am continuing to rotate between level 1 and level 2. But hey, I say whatever works for you!

I had a day like that earlier this week. I went ahead and ate because my stomach was actually growling. Then started the next day off with a clean slate and haven't been hungry eating the same stuff as before. Go figure!@!#

You look great.

That looks absolutely yummy. Thanks for sharing.

When I started working out with 30DS, my knees were killing me. Crunching and swelling. I started taking osteo-bioflex a couple of weeks ago and my knees are getting better.

Just reviewed your blog. These look wonderful.

The problem with the sugar that is tracked is that it does not differentiate between natural sugars and refined sugars. I'm just trying to watch refined sugars and not worrying about natural sugars going over. I tend to eat bananas and seedless grapes that have a lot of natural sugars in them. Hoping my body knows the…

I just did the workout 30DS in the evening and walked 2 miles at lunch time. Seems to be working for me. Been thinking I need to increase my cardio.

Your findings is exactly what I have experience as well. Why on earth do doctors or pharmacists not tell you about the calcium thing. I learned this the hard way as well.!@#!@#!

Oh, what a beautiful girl you are. Fantastic job!

I'm 5'4" and currently weight 139 pounds - my goals when I started at 150 was to get to 135 pounds. I'm 49 and I don't think I would look very good under 135 pounds - gotta have some meat on my bones to smooth out those wrinkles....LOL!

M&Ms put me over the top as well. They are my favorite...I would just pick them off the top!

Yes, I am thinking I should tether back and forth between level 1 and level 2. These are good workouts and I'm thinking if you move back and forth, you body won't get used to doing the same thing all the time. This is the best workout I have ever done from a DVD. :smile:

Yes, my thighs are now the same size. I have always been able to tell that my left was bigger...WEIRD!

Jillian Michaels 30-day shred dvd....almost every night. She's a killer.

My granddaughter and one of her friends (ages 8 & 9) came in when I was working out and they made fun of me. I simply said, come on and join in. They did...lasted about 3 minutes and they quick. They thought it was too hard LOL!

I started at 150 and am now down to 139.6. :smile:
