I finished Day 3 last night. I waited until the last minute to get it complete and I think i am regretting it. I generally do my workout in the AM (like I am about to do with Day 4) but I got busy doing other errands and raking this godforsaken yard. I didn't feel that it made as much an impact as the previous days? Or…

LOL, this is my short term goals to stay motivated. Every 40 pounds equals a new tattoo :)

This is a frequent question here. I have the same issue...does my NET calories need to be 1200+ for my metabolism to work properly? I am confused, because I thought exercise would be extra weight loss. If I eat 1200+ but exercise I do not have a net of 1200...so confused.

My thighs are so sore! I started doing squats and lunges last week. I don't think I have recovered lol. However, day 2 cardio was easier for me, except those jumping jacks (mainly because my gut slaps and it kind of hurts) Is it cheating if I do a different cardio move (like jump rope or butt kicks) during the jumping…

Personally I put it under calisthenics because you are doing pushups, situps (crunches), lunges, squats...I underestimate time (about 15 minutes), because I rather have a lower estimate than an overestimate of calories.

I like to workout before breakfast. I am not talking crazy early, but somewhere between 8 and 11. It seems to give me a lot of energy. I am a lucky one that doesn't have to go to work until late morning. I have been doing some pilates and calisthenics in the evening as well. I find that later workout more tiring than…

I count it as Calisthenics since you are doing pushups, situps(crunches), squats, and lunges. I only counted it as 15 mins because I took a couple breathers and rather underestimate than over. Hope that helps.

I did mine earlier this morning...and that is how I felt all day. I almost (ALMOST) want to do it again :)

I am a 42FF. I wear one of my lovely "tshirt" bras under my sports bra, it hold me firmly in place...however I need a sports bra from my gut...eww gross. lol

Jillian always makes me feel like I am going to die. lol

Day 1 complete. I found the cardio part the most challenging. Guess that is what I need to work on. The abs seemed super easy, is that just me? Beginning measurements Neck: 15 inches Bust: 52 inches Waist: 45 inches Hips: 62 inches Thighs: 34 inches Calves: 21 inches Arms: 19 inches

Arkansas is the fattest state in the union? I had no idea. Makes sense however. I am in Arkansas. :happy:

Pregnancy actually helped me lose weight, it was postpartum that killed it for me. I've gained 120 pounds since before the birth of my first child (almost 12 years ago) and it is about time it comes off. Having the twins 9 years ago changed a lot of things, including the way the fat formed on my body (had a c-section). As…

Challenge accepted. Height: 6' 0" Current weight: 346 Goal weight for 2/14/12: 325

The squats are killing me! I swear every day that Jillian will kill me... Ps My thighs are on fire.

I'm sorry but that isn't what Ms. Jillian says and she is my fitness god. Besides, crunches have never hurt my back, and I am 346 pounds. Its all about form.

I do around 200 a day (between pilates and Ms. Jillian whooping my butt) but I am sure another 200 will do me some good :)

No I wouldn't count anything that has had anything added other than LifeWater or VitaminWater. Its not water, its Apple Cider. Shoot, coffee, tea, soda,koolaid would all have to be counted by this logic.

I actually teared up a bit when I read your story, which is saying something cause I am what you would call a tough chick. It makes me so excited to know that there is hope for me. My story is so similar to yours and I just want to say thank you. Congrats on the weight you have lost and good luck on your future! Created by…

Personally I think she is too skinny for my taste. Not that skinny women aren't attractive, just I like mine more around the size 12 area. Boobs are great, but they don't make up for an ugly face...just saying.

I am obese. I totally agree I have a few extra "curves" that what is implied; however, my waist is almost 20 inches smaller than my hips (yes I am a pear). I love my figure..just working on the extra curves :)

Four days a month I take care of this little old lady. She HAS to go out to eat for lunch and dinner so eating out is really a challenge. We go to restaurants that only have "real" napkins. I am tempted to get the fried this and covered in bbq that, but recently (since I have been counting calories) I have been limiting…

Since starting, I gave myself a goal of only 16 oz. of Mt. Dew per day as I was extremely addicted. WAS is the key word. As I started loggin every day and keeping a watchful mind on my intake, I didn't even have one yesterday...and I didn't even miss it. This week my mini goal will be to push myself to limit the Mt. Dew…
