calf soreness is pretty common, all that hopping in the jumping jacks and jump rope really strain them. adding a calf strech to your cooldown should help some. i like to go to my stairs, and stand, facing the top of the stairs, with just the front part of my foot on the stair, and let my heal hand down. hold onto the…

MFP keeps the sugar goals really really really low. I try to use it as a "processed sugar" goal. so if i have sugar from vegetables, whole grains, and fruit, i don't mind going over. but if it's sugar from processed sugar, like white bread, candy, chocolate and the like, i count it

good work finishing the whole thing! today will be harder, but the next day should ease up! you can do it!

This morning was day 6 for me. felt better then yesterday, but still not as good as day 4 did :( I managed about 1/2 the pushups as regular pushups, but my arms just wouldn't lift the weights on the side lunge with arm raise.

you'll be retaining water a little more then normal b/c of the shred as well. my weight is staying pretty steady the last week and a half. I was pretty bad this past weekend b/c i was camping with my family and camping = carbs and booze hahah.

great work ladies! way to stick to it.

I used to make sandwiches with my spaghetti when i was younger, it tastes so good. i can see a taco being equally delish! tricky to eat though.

me to! except mine was fri/sat/sun hard to do the shred when there is no electricity.

I used to do muay thai, and boxing, it's hard to beat the workout you get from a proper kickboxing workout. I find brazilian jiu jitsu has a slightly different, but at least as good a workout to (tends to be lower key, but you have the resistance of another body making you work harder). you should give it a try!

I've made these a couple times: http://www.shapeyourweigh.com/2011/08/protein-brownie-recipe.html i do change it up a bit, using chocolate protien (and 2 scoops), and no coffee, and stevia instead of whatever they have in there. also, don't cook them for as long as it says, they turn out mega dry, i cooked mine for 20 min…

I love knee and hip circles!! I've got ruined knees and i find it helps loosen them up and warm them up nicely. It's not a terrible little warm up.

I did day 5 this morning, it didn't go as well as day 4 did yesterday, could only do about 1/2 the first set of full pushups, and the anterior arm raises were just not happening. I think i may be fighting off a cold or something, just feeling week :(

i do the same thing! i find wearing the regular bra underneath also gives a more support.

lemons aren't bad for your teeth. whitening toothpaste is. lemons are actually really good for weight loss. according to my nutrition guy and personal trainer. something about the lack of sugar and ph balance and something or another. crystal light is a tasty, 5 cal way to make water interesting. there are so many flavours…

I'm a few days behind now, was away camping with the girls this weekend. I did day 4 this morning. I did about 16 regular pushups instead of modified ones for the first time. I also did more of the arm raises with both weights (on the side lunge) before switching to one. and i measured myself finally!

Hamilton here! grew up in norfolk county.

my pecs are feeling a lot better today! I managed to do a lot more of the arm raises before switching to 1 weight today to! those are just killer. I found today instead of waiting for them to start, i jumped from exercise to exercise more quickly, so got a few more reps in.

great work everyone!!

I finally found a thing to measure with! and now i'm not going to be home till monday :(

good to know MFP isn't completely off!

from my limited baking experience with eggwhites vs whole eggs: just using eggwhites will make them dryer. i'd probably use some extra, or maybe add applesauce.

I used natural smooth peanut butter. I think chunky would add some nice texture to them to. my co-worker also approves of these.

I swear, my pecs are going to be bigger then my boobs when we are through this! They are the most sore part of me from this! Day two went well, my alarm didn't go off this morning, so i almost skipped it, but i rushed around to get ready for work and did it anyway. The lateral lunges and arm raises got me again. for the…

that's interesting that jump rope hurts your shins, but jumping jacks don't. try to keep the impact on the balls of your feet (not your heals) and use your whole leg to absorb the impact (what i mean by this is bend your knees a bit with each landing). If that doesn't help. i don't see anything wrong with doing jumping…

They are delish! great texture to. the recipe, with my protien, split into 11, makes them 119 calories each.

I just baked these! It made 11 regular sized cupcakes/muffins. Waiting for them to cool down. They smell great!

great work!

i wish my first pounds lost had seen that. i swear it all came off my boobs :(

i was planning on 10 days of each level as well.

A couple things: 1. Try replacing the alchohal with water and tea. If water is boring, add lemon/lime juice. 2. Balance out your macros, your sugar/carbs are really high, and your protien fat is low. MFP has the defaults set very carb high. 3. Don't count on MFP being accurate on calories burned for exercise. as an…
