I do actually calculate everything. It gets saved in your recipes so you can use it again though. The more you use it, the faster you will be able to enter it all in the database, too.

Omg, I looove calzones! Have to try this...

I don't have anything helpful to add, except that I do log daily and had, at the beginning of my journey, 150 pounds to lose, and am exactly halfway there. It absolutely can be done. Feel free to add me, supportive friends are soo important.

Yum!

Wow, sounds really good!

Ok, this may not work for everyone, some people, I'm sure have more self control, but I also have a limited budget, plus I feed 3 people during the week and 4 on the weekends on about $75 a week. I buy gift cards, 4 $50 ones for Winn Dixie, and 5 $20 ones for save a lot. That way I know I still have grocery money all…

Deland here. Could practically walk to you. Add me!

I've read about it and wanted to try it, as I have a friend who has had success with it, but idk my blood type, and never remember to ask. Maybe bumped, someone will reply?

My feet didn't cramp on level 1 but now, on level 2, they are. During all the plank things. I guess because I am on my toes? I tried doing it barefooted, but then my legs slide out from under me... Maybe I need new shoes. I am losing inches in my feet too and I think my shoes are too loose, even laced as tight as I can.…

yay! Thanks... It was 5.1 ounces cooked, so it lost quite a bit...

curious to see what others do.

I hate measuring myself. I am never sure how accurate it is, because I can never remember exactly where I measured last exactly, or how tight I pulled the tape or whatever

I hate when she says towards the end of level 1 of 30 ds, "we're all in the same boat." UMM no we are not. You are not trying to kill your 220 pound self, thats just me!

I did it daily. Frontside one day, backside the next, and did it from just before Easter until I bought 30 ds June 1. Doing that now. I think it prepared me somewhat for the shred.

Idk, I suck at measuring myself. Never remember exactly where I measured last time. My clothes do seem to fit better.

Finished w1d7 today. Finally did all the squats/ shoulder presses, the front lunge with bicep curl things, and all the side lunges with arm raises. Still doing girly push ups, but at least I'm not leaning on the door anymore. My knees and ankles are still soo weak that I can't do jumping jacks for fear of hurting myself,…

Thanks for the ideas. Getting ready to push play now. Guess I'll try marching in place while the DVD is getting to the actual workout spot. And I do modify the jumping jacks when they get too bad already.

Someone HAS to have a suggestion!

Lolol I said this to my daughter. Need a bra for my fat roll because it hurts bouncing, and makes a disgusting slapping noise besides...

O m geee! I think I died. My arms are numb and my legs feel like spaghetti noodles. And I definitely took more than a few 5 secondish breaks. I had been doing her beginner DVD since Easter, and that is 45 minutes long. According to mfp, I burned more calories doing that than this one, but I don't believe that. Maybe that's…

Taking my measurements tomorrow morning. And starting 30 DS tomorrow afternoon. God help me!

My family calls it Golden Trough. I try to avoid it. Having said that, my daughter is in a hospital and we had her out for a day this week and guess where she chose to go? Yep, Golden Trough. I just wanted to bury my head under the darn chocolate fountain by the end. Ended up just writing the day off.

This. And it needs to be more than .2 loss for me to log.

Yum!

These are in the oven. The batter tasted fine, and they smell awesome. Hoping they taste good cooked too! I followed the recipe, except no chocolate chips, and added cinnamon. P.S. I did not have a food processor either, and tried the blender. That did not work. :( So I mashed the heck out of the beans by hand. P.P.S…

I feel for you. Been there with both of my kids. Christal has bitten and clawed us all at some point, but she usually does not express regret. Sammy has also done this, and cries frequently just before getting to that point because he says he feels the rage coming and can't stop it. Knowing its coming sucks. Sorry.

Thanks for the advise! As I said, I've been doing the beginner one since Easter, and use 2 1 lb 12 oz cans of bush's best baked beans now. LOL I was going to post a new thread about the best weights to use. I saw at Wally World a boxed set of 2 JM DVDs that included a 1 lb weight for $10 that I might get plus the 3 lb ones…

Oh, oh, I want to do it! I have been doing her beginner one since Easter, and even though I still can't do "real" push ups (I'm still standing leaning on the door), I think I need to move on. I will buy her 30 DS DVD on the first and a set of maybe 5 pound weights.

My daughters sister in law (no clue how she's related to me) blurted out this morning "wow, you lost a lot of weight."
