Great guys! If you haven't already, please join the office group at: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/595-ripped-and-shredded-by-the-holidays-challenge

I am with you!

Try the 200 squat challenge. For us pear shaped women, it is harder to shrink the thighs and hips, but doing a lot of squats will definitely get you ripped legs.

I would LOVE to do this. Count me in!

I love this video. I alternate between 3 and 5 pounds. For the shoulder segments I always stick with three's and use fives for the biceps and triceps (except I use three's for those darn surrenders!).

34-25-38 Pear shaped :( It's also really hard for me to find jeans because my waist is really small in comparison to my hips. I wear a small or medium top and then 4 or a 6 depending on the cut of the pants/skirt.

Love this stuff. I eat it a couple of days out of the week in the morning for breakfast. I use a half a cup of yogurt and 1/4 a cup of blueberries and raspberries and add 12 raw almonds. Delicious, good for you, and less than 200 calories.

Thanks for all the tips guys! These discussions boards are many of the reasons why I love MFP. Looks I'm going to my account settings to switch my goals from 1 1/2 pounds a week. To .5!

A big problem with 100 calorie snacks isn't just sodium but high amounts of sugar, bad carbs, and harmful unhealthful ingredients. Instead of having 100 calorie packs of cookies and chips, try having almonds, berries, or even dried fruit. Staying away from processed food can really help eliminate cravings for sugary snacks…

I always gain close to five pounds in bloat during the week leading up to my period. It slowly tapers off and then by the start of the new pack of BC pills I am back at my normal weight. This really sucks, because it means that I can only track my true weight 2 weeks out of the month. Very frustrating.

I am also living the low carb lifestyle and after reading the book, I too notice that people "poo poo" all over the diet too. I probably eat more vegetables and leafy greens on this diet than any other I have been on. And I drink A LOT more water. On Induction, where you reduce your carb intake to 20 NET Carbs, 12-15 of…

Hey I'd love to join the club! I weighed in at 134.9 today and my goal is 125! Less than 10 pounds to go!!!

When I started here I was 152 and now I'm 136 pounds and 5"4. I am looking to get to somewhere in between 122-128. I try to exercise 4-5 times a week. I hate pure cardio so I do circuit training most of the time. I ADORE everything that concerns Jillian Michaels. I use her 30 Day Shred, Yoga Meltdown, No More Troublezones,…

I always lose in my arms first, then my face, then my stomach ( I went from a 27 inch waist to a 24.8 inch waist). Still waiting on the hips (37.9 inches currently) to go away. I'm pear shaped, so that's ALWAYS the last to leave. And thank God my boobs have stayed about the same.

All of Jillian Michaels videos are top notch and I love Jillian Hough's Dance DVDs. You forget you're actually working out when you dance with her. I've never tried p90x or insanity. I have a previous knee injury and hear all the pylometrics you do are hard on the joints.

It's a fantastic workout video from Jillian Michaels that consists of three 22 minute workouts. You are supposed to to do about 10 days at Level One and then progress to Level Two then Three. It consists her 3-2-1 Interval Training. 3 Minutes of Strength, 2 minutes of Cardio and 1 minute of ab work. It's a high intensity…

I'd love to join also if it's not too late. 1. Tiffany 2. CW-145 3.GW-125 by April 1st 4. 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones, Yoga Meltdown and Julianne Hough Dance Videos

Thanks for the support everyone! A couple of people asked about my diet exercise plan so here it goes: I consume between 1200-1500 calories a day, the average being about 1350. I exercise about 4-5 times a week, alternating what I do. I bike in my neighborhood (which is really hilly) for about 45 minutes and I do a ton of…

Starting Weight (sometime in July) 153 8/18= 149.6 8/25= 149 Ugh not such a good week. I can certainly tell the difference when I look in the mirror. But the scale doesn't want to budge. I am strength training so I hope I'm gaining muscle. I'm going to Michael's after work to buy a thing to measure myself with.

Count me in too! I'm 149.6 pounds as of today and would love to be 15 pounds lighter by Thanksgiving, which is 4 days before my 25th birthday! It would be a great b-day present to myself! So I guess my goal weight by Thanksgiving would be 134 pounds.

If that's true about the extra 200 calories burned then thats great to hear! Not only am I ravenous a couple of days before and during that time, but I also crave chocolate. I thought it was just me who was constantly hungry during my period.
