Woo! Sign me up for the maple syrup fast!! Does that include maple sugar candy too?

I was going to say Ripped in 30 also. I liked that one better than 30DS in any case.

Yesterday I got back from my lunch time run and one of the guys in the office said I wasn't as "pink and wheezy" (asthmatic here) as I used to be when I would come in from runs. He was just picking on me but it made me realize that I have gotten a lot more fit even if my scale hasn't budged in a month and a half!

I actually don't think this is true. Pretty sure you can eat whenever you feel like eating as long as your not binging in the evenings. Also the post where they said increase 100 per day for a week, I think they were meaning if you are currently at 1200 go to 1300 for a week, then the next week go to 1400

This, except I'm not maintaining yet

I once saw a poster that said anyone who says this must have never had pizza, cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes, reese's peanut butter cups, etc. :laugh:

wine :(

The Zip doesn't count Stairs or Sleep, it still counts steps or what would be the point? I have the Ultra now but plan to get a Zip once I can sell the Ultra I have (still in it's box) - the biggest thing I liked about the Zip is that I can replace the battery when it needs a new one. I don't have to rely on recharging it.

Completely untrue. If I get hungry I eat something, I guess my weight loss is imagined.

The last place I worked I had a desk job and no one there cared about being healthy and it's kind of catching. I didn't have a real desire to change anything so we would have two for one slices on Tuesdays, Moe's discount Wednesdays and Friday chinese food... very bad. Now I work in law enforcement and a lot of my…

Since switching to my vibram barefoot shoes I no longer have this problem! :)

I am 5'4", 189lbs and am currently wearing 10/12 women's and an 11/13 juniors and M/Lg on top depending on the cut as I am well endowed :laugh:

When I first started losing I went from a 40-something waist to a 33 inch waist, and from 46 inch hips to 43 inch hips...... It took me FOREVER (not really but a lot longer) to see a difference in my butt, thighs and hips. I do a lot of Jillian Michaels DVDs and she does a lot of squats which I think has helped tone up my…

I have a real problem with this, I have to force myself to stop doing it. You have to recognize when you are looking for food and you aren't hungry and find something else to do. A lot of times I replace my food searching with some chest flys or other dumb bell moves. I also have read that if you find yourself looking for…

I'm in, also glad that I watched the video, there were some good tips for proper form!

I waited too long and ended up having to do all 150 in one shot. Ow. But I'm done!!

I'm still in week 1 of Ripped in 30. I am not sure how long it will take me to progress to the next level though! Feel free to add me.

I thought we just did squats Tuesday my legs still hurrrrrrt.... //whine I'm in!

Don't get too discouraged! Keep working at it and you will get there. You may not be eating enough if you are training for a marathon also, just running your info through the Scooby BMR calculator, if you did 1-3 hours of light exercise a week it has you around 1700 cals. Try adding squats, lunges, push ups, Ab workouts,…

90 calorie fiber one brownies, nature valley protein granola bars, kashi dark mocha almond bars, dole 100% juice fruit cups, no sugar added natural applesauce and mini bags of popcorn

Done!! Did 200 forward and 100 backward!

I'm in!

Oh how I wish spot reduction was possible but unfortunately the only thing that will help is losing weight and even then you might be like me and be cursed with the inability to wear high boots due to stupid big calves. Totally not bitter about it.... :-p

Finished, 65 of them were with 2 8lb hand weights, woo!

I'm in, I was thinking about doing a workout DVD later too, and there will definitely be some squats in that!

I finished! Ten sets of 15 over two days!
