L3D3 finished! It's at the point where I can't tell the difference between the cardio and the strength intervals hahaha.

I love to season mine with a little McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning and throw it on my George Forman Grill for about 10 minutes Here are links to a couple of other Chicken breast threads http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/528920-help-for-boneless-skinless-chicken…

L3D2 finished! My dogs usually try to help me work out, but the plyometrics (sp?) seem to be too much for them and they've both been in another room during level 3 :laugh:

Just finished the first day of level 3 and am so glad to be finished with level 2! I had to travel for work and brought my weights and computer with me. I thought I would find an excuse not to do it but I surprised myself and finished level 2 on a towel on the floor of my hotel room. 9 more days!!!

L2D8 Finished! I highly recommend taking a day off. I felt so much better today and I was really excited to do it!

^^ These. They come in a number of different flavors too. There is also a brand like pop chips that makes tortilla style chips out of popcorn. I'll try to think of the name and edit this post The name is popcorners. I've had the sea salt ones, not bad

oh how I love picnic! How about an interesting salad? http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/03/spinach-and-quinoa-salad-with.html http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spinach-pasta-salad-50400000109578/ http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/farro-salad-with-tomatoes-and-herbs-recipe/index.html Cut up fruit always…

^^^ Yep. I Love (or hate, it's a fine line) Jillian. I have 4 or 5 of her videos and am on round 2 of 30DS. I don't like yoga meltdown though. I don't feel that there is enough guidance on breathing which is something that I need. It is also not exactly what I think of as yoga. I think it probably comes down to personal…

Here's a link to a salad I love http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spinach-pasta-salad-50400000109578/ I throw some shrimp on it to make it a meal and be sure to slice the red onions thin otherwise they overpower This was an interesting salad that I tried last night. It has spinach, avocado, grapefruit, quinoa and I love…

L2D7 finished. I'm taking tomorrow off and hopefully me knees and ankles will thank me for it! Hope everyone is still doing well!

I second cooking light and also love http://www.emilybites.com/

Yummmmmm!

I hope that everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day! I was determined to enjoy the day and not feel guilty about having a beer or 3 and eating the delicious stout cupcakes that I got from the skinnytaste website. So, I did whatever it took to burn 1000 calories before my fun began (that included completing day 5 of level…

One of the easiest things to do is sprinkle with McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning (makes everything taste better!) and grill indoor or outdoor (I love my George Foreman :heart: ) Here's a link to a similar thread that I found helpful last year…

I love my WW Pesto Sauce. If you have a food processor (or even a blender) it's so easy to make! 2 1/2 C Basil Leaves (washed and dried) 3 Tbs Pine nuts 1 Tbs Olive Oil 2 Garlic Cloves, crushed 1/4 tsp Salt 1/2 C + Tbs grated Parm cheese In food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, oil, garlic and salt with 1/2 C…

That's fantastic. I quit 7 months ago and I unfortunately gained weight. However, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! I quit cold turkey and definitely replaced smokey treats with food. Now that I have that under control, I don't crave them at all and frequently forget that I ever smoked (12 years at a pack a…

I think 30DS was kind of a prototype lol, she recommends only 4/5 days on Ripped in 30, so I think that she learned from this one. I can definitely feel it after 5/6 days so i need a day off. L2D3 finished!!!

Bump -- love this, thanks!

hahaha, people are crazy. Congratulations on your weight loss and I bet your hair looks fantastic! I think sometimes people fear that complimenting someone on a weight loss is a sensitive issue and so they may avoid it. Way to go!!!

L2D2 finished -- only 8 days left! I am doing C25K and like it a lot. I did it the last time that I did 30DS ( I finished 30DS but not C25K). I found that it helped a lot with the cardio. I tried to do one at night and the other in the morning. If I had to do them back to back, I always did 30DS first. I would absolutely…

I have not been too successful on pinterest (but I LOVE it) I do find a lot of workout motivation in the fitness section though. I have to throw my support behind the skinnytaste website. I find myself meals from her website several times a week. My boyfriend, who is involuntarily eating healthy :), really likes a lot of…

I also found this company that does all kinds of kayaking/paddling activities. They have some interesting looking guided tours around the Boston Harbor, etc. http://www.paddleboston.com/tours/tours.php

I have to highly recommend the drive-in movie when the weather gets warmer. We pack a picnic, a blanket, a battery operated radio and a bottle of wine. So much fun and you get to be outdoors, under the stars and see a movie. They are usually double features so I've ended up watching a couple of movies I never would have…

Hi All! I had two days off rather than 1 (an extra day at the in-laws). But I made up for it by chasing around the most adorable 3 year old. Just finished L2D1, this is my least favorite level and I can't wait for the next 9 days to be over! Hope everyone is doing well. Keep up the hard work!

I also used Allen Carr's book. It wasn't as if I finished it and *BAM* I never wanted to smoke again, there is still some work and resistance that you have to do. BUT, it completely changed the way I thought about it and I believe that it is because of that book that I do not crave one today, that I did not crave one…

Congratulations! There's a group on here for quitting, i highly reccomend joining it -lots of support. Different things work for different people. I quit almost 7 months ago and did it cold turkey. I think cold turkey makes it harder initially but was easier and more permanent in the long run. I had to confront the…

I think they are becoming more common. I actually had to ask about them but they knew what I was talking about right away. They were just in a place that I never would have looked

A honeymoon, how exciting! Congratulations!!! I'm sure you can drop 10 lbs by June and may not even need to go down to 1200 calories a day. D9L1 finished, 1 more day!!!

Great job!

The ipod is a great idea. Create a playlist just for C25K that you get excited to listen to! Depending on the type of ipod you have, there are even C2FK apps. Forget all of those people you're concerned about. They may actually be impressed that you're out doing something! You can absolutely do this, even if you have to…
