  • Awesome! Glad we're all still here, ready and raring to go! lol I'm going to do my measurements tonight from the last 30 days. I know a day late... ah well. I did them last week so I'm not expecting much change. I did 6W6P this morning. I think it's getting harder instead of better :S

  • That's awesome!! Congratulations on the 5K! I'm not that brave yet lol. And to be honest, I would have said you were much smaller than 188lbs, you look amazing! :happy:
  • You're welcome! No, not that I know for. Would you like to do the honors? Or will we stick around in this group? What would we call it? Jillian Michaels Fanatics? lol We could then do different challenges within the group I guess.

  • Got my workout in! I'll get "final" measurements later tonight! (I've updated the spreadsheet before because I cheated and wanted to check my progress lol) Great work everyone!
  • First thing, you are very handsome! Second... congratulations on the major accomplishment!! I'd love to hear (read lol) some of your tips. Edited to add: I did read the posts up to mine. I love the idea of cutting a sandwich up into smaller portions! You are very inspirational :smile: Thank you for sharing your story with…
  • Back to 6 Week Six-Pack this morning. I didn't want to do it, but pressed play anyway!! Happy Monday everyone!
  • Wow you look amazing! And you're rocking the bikini! I started at 217lbs... currently sitting at 188lbs. I cannot wait to get to where you are :smile: Great work!
  • lol! It's easily done! I thought it was too :laugh:
  • The video is not solely an ab workout. There's cardio, and it works your back, legs, biceps, triceps, shoulders and chest too. I agree with not working the same muscle groups daily, but I thought that was more for strength training with heavier weights? All the same, I don't see how it's any different than many of her…
  • I'm 5' 3.5", though most round it up to 5' 4", does that count?? :laugh: I started here the end of February at 217lbs. Currently I am 188lbs :happy: . My goal is 135lbs, but I think I will re-evaulate that once I get closer to it (I may want to get down to 130 or a little lighter depending on how I feel - I don't want to…
  • Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's! I'm thinking about making this a rest day for me. I don't often take them as I feel guilty and actually miss my workouts. I may change my mind later on, but so far I haven't done any workout lol. Only a few days left!! Will we make a new group for those of us who want to continue on?
  • Seeing as how I've already commented, I guess I should add my allergies: - Dogs, cats, rabbits... they figure all furry animals :sad: BUT I have four dogs nonetheless :bigsmile: - Dust - Dairy - Eggs - Tobacco :laugh: - Bananas (suspected) - Latex (found this one out the HARD way :grumble: ) and I'm asthmatic, so while I'm…
  • May I ask what the name of the vegan protein powder is? I can't have dairy either, and it's difficult sometimes to get alot of protein without eatting red meat at every meal lol.
  • I took a break from 6W6P today, and went back to Shred It. I figured my core needs a little break (though Jillian still works core in Shred It lol). Maybe the break will relax my abs a little and I won't get the cramping/spasms. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! :smile:
  • Forget the scale - Your clothes don't lie :happy: Great work!
  • Well, when it's put that way, it makes sense to pick NROL4W! I don't have a gym nearby, so I need to choose my program and then make sure I have all the equipment I need at home. I don't mind though, because I'd rather work out at home anyday. I'm loving the resistance training with Jillian, and want to kick it up a few…
  • I've lost some... but I'm large and could use a little shrinkage lol. Overall though, with everything else shrinking, they appear larger in comparison :)) I think it's a great trade off.
  • Great job! It's funny how we turn/learn to embrace and enjoy the pain lol. I want to start NROL4W or Stronglifts 5x5, I need to buckle down. Are you going to a gym? And thanks ladies! I was very happy with myself :)) I can't remember ever being so proud of myself. I love Jillian lol.
  • Happy Friday everyone!! :) I got my workout in!! The scale has been bugging me these past two weeks by bouncing around the same frigging numbers. So, yesterday I wore a pair of jeans that I purchased two weeks ago expecting to "shrink" into, but when I got home after buying them I could comfortably wear them with no muffin…
  • I'm in too!! I'm doing these workouts anyway, and I agree, it's nice to have a group of familiar faces that can relate to what you're doing :) I NEVER thought I would enjoy working out. I used to sit on my butt and complain about my body. When someone suggested situps for my stomach (that I thought could only be fixed with…
  • I didn't think I could do them either. All I can say is, turn your brain off and just go!! You'll be amazed with yourself :)
  • I second that!! I know how the scale can rule your life... when we all know our weight can fluctuate. It's still disappointing when you don't see the numbers move in the direction you want them too. I've been bouncing around the same darn numbers for almost 2 weeks... BUT, my composition is changing! I'm losing inches, my…
  • Only 7 days left of this challenge! 6 Week Six-Pack, done and done. I might do another workout later on, I'll see how my studies go. I miss Shred It with Weights! lol. I NEVER ever thought I would enjoy working out... but I do!! I love the changes this journey brings :)
  • Happy Monday everyone!! I didn't do any JM yesterday. My ankle and hip were too sore, and it was painful to walk. I did get outside and did some gardening and such, because I just can't sit idle and do nothing. Today, I wrapped my ankle and did 6 Week Six-Pack. I wasn't happy with the scale this morning, because for the…
  • Jillian uses a kettlebell for Shred It with Weights. She recommends a weight of 3 to 8lbs, but she does say that when you master the moves, you can increase the weights for a bigger burn. Oh, and if you don't have a kettlebell, a dumbell will accomplish the same results (and Maddie uses a dumbell). I've tried both, and I…
  • Happy 20th Everyone!!! Almost there :)
  • Day 19 done! So far I've skipped my favourite Shred It with Weights and just did 6 Week Six-Pack. Still nursing a sore ankle... but it's not swollen or anything so I don't know what I did to it :ohwell: I do feel guilty for not doing the Shred It with Weights, so I still may try to do that this afternoon :happy:
  • You look fantastic! Thank you for sharing your progress :)
