a serving of quinoa with a fried egg/over easy egg. poke the egg...sprinkle a touch of salt...mix it all up...perfection!

bump for articles. thanks!

Congrats! This is awesome! I am starting to feel like this. At a healthy BMI and wearing shorts...even shorter (not booty) shorts to the gym. Though I still have cellulite on the back of my legs, I am not letting that hinder me from LIFE. Seems silly...but it did. Cheers to you and every single person out there that can…

Love this!

Pictures don't really reveal much which is a bit of a let down. There is one of my back side (booty) that I think has a noticeable difference than June 1st but I will not be sharing that publicly! All said and done...I lost about 5.6lbs, 1.5" off of my natural waist, 1" off of my waist at belly button, 1" off of my hips…

30 DAY SHRED CHALLENGE COMPLETE!!!!! I missed a few days in there but hey...I also did a few amazingly long workouts like a 45 mile bike ride yesterday as well as Stronglifts! I will take and post pics tomorrow morning! And I will post my challenge for July! I just want to THANK YOU ALL for the love and support each and…

KICK *kitten*!!!!! Rock it!

WOOT WOOT!!!! Go Mel!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This is terrific!!!!

I'm still here! The OP. L3D8 complete! 2 more days and this adventure is over. I'll take progress pics and report on Monday July 1st! How's everyone doing?

SO inspiring! Congrats on doing it for YOU! Thanks for sharing!

SHREDDERS: L3D5 complete...with gusto! Only 5 days left! Here are the stats...did Squat Challenge first...220 squats, 20 minutes, 164 calories. Then Shredded...27 min, 218 calories. That's 382 calories for 47 minutes of work. I like it. TELL ME! TELL ME! IT'S GETTING TO THE WIRE...HOW WAS YOUR SHRED TODAY?!

SHREDDERS!!! L3D1 Complete. I do like it better than L2 but I'm doing mostly Anita mods when it comes to anything plank-ish. I will say jump squats after 180 squat challenge was tough but I survived! All told, about 44 minutes of work between squat challenge and shred for a total of 316 calories. Not a shabby way to start…

hello! just wanted to give my progress report: starting: STATS: 5'3" 39...soooo close to 40 144.8lbs W = 31" H = 41" current: 141.6lbs W= 30 H=40.5 10 more days! starting Level 3 in about 30 min :)

Hey there! I'm the OP but I haven't updated on here for a bit. So many new people added me as a friend that it's hard to keep up with everyone! I've completed Level 2 Day 9 so one more day to go til Level 3. Level 2 has been really tough for me because of a previous injury to my right shoulder. It was so bad I had to stop…

Ok...I'm all caught up. I did day 11 and 13 today.

Thanks for continuing this!!!!

SHREDDERS: Day 13 Complete. I am all kinds of upset. I spent 21 out of 24 hours in bed yesterday. I am beating myself up on so many accounts. It's not even funny. I have gained weight because I've been eating crazy amounts of carbs when I feel like eating at all. Level 2 is really hard for me because of my bum right…

Love the honesty! Thanks for keeping it real!!!

SHREDDERS: Day 11 Complete...but it SUCKED! I am def not 100% and this workout was done purely out of obligation to myself and to you. I know I have 2 workouts to make up at some point which I will but it won't be today. Plank-a-rama sucked. This is why I always feel so grateful when I'm healthy. What happened to me on…

SHREDDERS: I am OK but I just got home and I'm sick. I inadvertently ingested drugs at a Pride party (mark your cups!) I missed day 9 and day 10 is looking doubtful. Of course I'm upset but I am grateful to be getting better because it was really scary there for a bit. HOW ARE YOU GUYS?

UGH - just did the 100 squats for Squat Challenge. Could NOT deal with having 2 workouts when I got home and this seemed less impactful on my head.

SHREDDERS: I am up to do my shred before I head to the Pride parade, BUT I have a headache on the left side of my head and next - where if I bend down or squat (did 10 of my 100 to test myself)...it's crazy painful. This Cancerian crab really came our of her hermit shell yesterday and ended up going to a party. I only had…

SHREDDERS!!! Day 8 complete! It's 7:15am in Cali and let me tell you that serenity56 inspired me to get up and be the boss I am to complete this workout before I have to leave in an hour to go volunteer. People are going back and forth on REST days. Here's where I stand. Part of my reason for doing this is to stick to…

Thanks you guys! I did really well today. I take comfort in knowing I'm not alone. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue.

I love hearing this! After day 7 - my lack of patience is like - WTF I don't see anything but then I remind myself I'm not even 1/3 of the way thru! Great to hear that you are seeing RESULTS! Thanks for the motivation and CONGRATS!!! Keep up the great work!

I never feel soreness but I don't think I can do heavier weights and keep up! Good luck!

Day 7 complete - 80 squats. Glad to have a rest day tomorrow since I'm doing Shred, too. Wishing that had a rest day but I'm not taking one. I did 2 sets of 40 btw...taking a short rest in between.

SHREDDERS!!!! Day 7 Complete....THANKS TO YOU!!! The responses from the folks on on my friend's list to an earlier post I made stating I was sluggish made it possible for me not to judge myself if I didn't do it, but also motivated me to do my best. Kimbyfly said she didn't feel like it either but did and felt…

Day 4 rest...done Day 5 70....done Day 6 75....just did!
