  • I have a new favorite dessert.! It isn't healthy, but pretty low cal. You buy the reduced fat graham crackers and a tob of the premade Cheesecake filling. You swipe about a tablespoon of cheesecake filling on each graham cracker. You end up with all the creaminess and taste of cheesecake and some sweet crunchiness of a…
  • Did Day 4 Level1 today and feel a lot better than I have been. I even got through my C25K comfortably. Definately thinking about getting another video so I can mix it up a little.
  • I'm 33 (almost 34) with 3 kids. daughter 2 1/2 (regular night terrors, so I'm also sleep deprived) and sons 5 & 12. I work full time (military, but non-traditional unit which means working out is on our own time) and I'm taking online college courses. Husband is gone by 6:30 am every day. I found a local gym that has…
  • I had hummus with my lunch today! I used the rosemary & olive oil fold it flatbread. I slathered on about 4 tbls of garlic hummus. Added some strips of sweet red, green, and yellow peppers. Added a little onion and POOF! veggie sandwich. The hummus gave it some extra substance and somehow made it seem like more than a…
  • 30DS level1 day 3 done. Soooooo sore. My thighs are screaming at me!
  • I created my own exercise and labled it as 30DS and used the Jillian Website to figure the calories. With the video you get a 30 day free trial with the website. I'm just going to create several of the exercises this way (before my free trial is up). I don't forsee me buying a HRM so I figured this is as accurate as I'll…
  • I went one time but really wasn't happy with the way it went. It was through the military and you had to take a class before you could have a one on one. The message was pretty much "fat=bad, carbs=bad, calories=bad....you basically pick your poison and try not to eat too much." I left soooo frustrated. Our jobs depend on…
  • Same problem here only with an added twist. I short (5ft2in) and have large calves. I've given up on finding jeans that fit in all the right places. Now I buy jeans that fit good in the legs and butt and alter the waist myself. (it isn't too hard to shrink a waist but altering the legs would be a nightmare). It has become…
  • I'm so jealous! After years of begging my husband (he's not a fan of the idea), he offered them as a surprise Anniversary present. Unfortunately I can't right now because of my job. Ugh.
  • Yes! The worst part is I'm only an A cup right now (was barely a B to start with). I'm going to be buying hello kitty bras in the little girls section if this keeps up.
  • Just finished level 1 day 2. Much more challenging than yesterday since I started out sore. Also started C25K today. I've been doing a lot of cardio but really need to build up my running. Thinking I'm going to invest in some more Jillian Michaels DVD's.
  • Here are mine: Weight 129 Height 5 foot 2 Chest (too depressing, the girls keep shrinking and I didn't have much to start with) Upper Arm 10.75 Waist 28 Hips 36 Thighs 22 Calves 16 (I threw this in because I really want to tone them, if I can't make them shrink I at least want them strong) can't wait to start seeing some…
  • At work we have a little workout room/gym and that's where I did my video today. The smallest weights they have are 5lbs. For some of the exercises it was ok, but on others I was really struggling. I thought I was even weaker on upper body than I originally thought, but after reading the other posts I might not be so far…
  • First time doing any of the Jillian Michaels DVD's. I tried the 30 day shred and I think I'm entering a serious love-hate relationship with Jillian. I'm not a fan of most videos, but this has a good balance. She isn't sickening sweet and perky (and skinny) but she isn't a bruiser drill sergeant either. She's found a nice…
  • I can't stand people who let their children use the gym like it's a playground. There is a nursery and there is family time, use them. I should be able to sit in the hottub without your "cutie" splashing me with their flippers. I don't want to hear your pre-teens giggling over Justin Beiber in the sauna. If I'm swimming…
  • I used the nuvaring for a little while, to help with regulation. The only "side effect" I had was my daughter. haha. So I did end up with a lot of weight gain and larger breasts but I doubt that is related to your symptoms.
