I always log my kettlebell workouts under circuit training. I also have that video in my collection. :smile: Kettlebells produce some amazing results!!

^^LOL. I meant to copy, not quote. It's been one of those days!!

SW: 168 LW: 164.5 TW: 166.5 Not worth counting when It's TOM.

Last night I ordered a Mueller Spiralizer from Amazon....I got the confirmation a few hours ago that it has shipped and will be here Tuesday!! Guess what'll be for dinner!!! I'm like a kid at Christmas! It's the little things in life. :smiley:

SW: 168 LW: 166 TW: 164.5 Not too bad, considering I've had a few hiccups...

My go-tp workouts are any DVD's by Jillian Michael's (I love her motivation!!), elliptical and stationary bike for the same reason you mentioned with the treadmill...I just get lost reading, crocheting, knitting, etc and get a great workout, and my latest find is the 8fit app... I highly recommend!! I love to sweat and…

SW: 168 CW: 166 Feeling a little bummed...ate pizza for dinner yesterday and I have been SO bloated today. I just feel awful about the eating of the pizza AND the "feeling" of a post-high carb meal. I told my husband that tomorrow is another day, and I'm getting back on track!!

Bacon, eggs, and cheese are my most favorite! I eat them every single day. Also like avocados, a lot of meat, broccoli, kale, spinach, tilapia, tuna, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, cauliflower, celery, zucchini, spaghetti squash...oh, I could go on and on... Lol

Count me in!!

Hi! I'm Shannon, and I started doing the DASH diet March 2014. Ever since last Christmas, I have been in either a rut or a funk. Lol. I was previously down 24.5 pounds, now, I'm only down 8 pounds. :( I am really trying to get back to a no/low carb lifestyle and get my weight and inches down, and muscles and mood back up!…

Jillian Michael's "Shred It With Weights" is awesome! Two, 20 minute kettlebell workouts that really work!

Day 7 of level 1 here!

I also own about every one of her workouts and absolutely love them! They are all very effective if you stick with them. I also bought nearly all of mine on Amazon for roughly $8. Some I found on clearance at various stores for $3-4. I personally think her videos are kind of addictive. Either you love her or you don't. I…

Every. Single. Day. :) I do it as a constant reminder to myself and a motivator to keep at it. I have noticed the trends, so I don't freak out if it goes up a little, because I have a good idea of WHY it went up. Plus, it is super exciting when you watch it stay steady for a few days then it just drops one day! I know some…

Lol I've also noticed Natalie's squats to be more of a beginners squat. Anita (and I) goes way deeper into the squat than Natalie. And check her out during the punches....same thing! I get my squat down to nearly 90°, and hers are near 30°! It makes me feel better. :)

Totally agree!! This time around, I have had a different mindset about weightloss and I have had amazing results! Being less strict and not so hard on myself, and just being relaxed and having an indulgence when I REALLY want it. I have cut most starchy foods, because as a type 1 diabetic I find my blood sugars are…

Just started 30DS this week after years without it. I have a 4 year old (as of in 4 days) and an 8 month old (today!). :) Count me in for September!!

This is a very controversial subject on these forums. I have been doing the DASH diet for 4.5 months and have had great success. Basically, it's not a "diet", it's a healthier lifestyle. Essentially you start with a 2 week carb-ish free meal plan then adjust to adding in healthy carbs from fruits and whole grains. As a…

135-140, just waiting to see how I look and feel when I get there. Oh, I'm a medium build. :)

My fitbit flex ($99)!! The best motivator to move more, do more, and drink more water. Absolutely the best investment I've ever made! I'm a numbers nerd, so I love all the stats. :)

OP, when starting a new workout/routine, I allow 7-10 for my body to level back out, and expel the extra fluid. Give it a couple more days.

I am currently on day 3 of a week long trial of the Dexcom CGM my endo is looking at recommending to her pump patients. So far I really like it! My only complaints are 1) the sensor is kind of big and sticks out quite a bit, 2) having to carry around another contraption (the receiver needs to be within 20 ft. of the sensor…

You are very disrespectful!! These forums are meant to inspire and assist in healthy lifestyles. I'm a work in progress, and like I said I JUST HAD A BABY 7 MONTHS AGO! After you've had babies, then you can come back and add your 2 cents. You have no right to negatively attack my body. And you don't think I'm a true…

Whoa...I honestly don't care what you do! I've had 2 babies in 3 years, the youngest being 7 months old so you can take your negativity elsewhere! I've lost 50 lbs in 7 months and am focusing on being the healthiest, fittest mom and role model to my little girls. I eat clean and healthy, and exercise 5-7 days a week WITH 2…

I said nothing about how curvy you are or aren't. I'm 34 and have been an hourglass since I was 12. I'm currently 36-30-38, so don't go saying I have an issue with your body!! YOU seem to have an issue with the way you are shaped or you wouldn't be so obsessed with your measurements and what others think about it. I'm damn…

Ok.you seriously have some body image issues! I'm not trying to be mean, but come on now. Why are you so obsessed with your measurements?? How about just focusing on health? The only way to alter your genetics is plastic surgery. Get over it and move on. The rest of us are focusing on health and fitness, clearly you should…
