Oh yum!

I should have finished Phase 1 this week, but I can't get past the 3rd DVD! However, I have lost 15 lbs, so not too shabby at all!

Thank you for this!

Absolutely - I actually bought a white jacket and have reflective tape on my shoes, just in case! Thanks for the tip!

I had to turn the sound off too! She kills me with all the talking, and it was MUCH easier for me to focus on what I was doing than focusing on all her yapping! :bigsmile:

I grew up in Myrtle Beach! Great place to visit, haha. :)

Charlotte, NC!

I followed the menu perfectly during the the kickstart week and lost 9 lbs. I've made a few of the recipes from the actual meal plan, and they're... okay... haha, the muffins don't look ANYTHING like they do in the book, and they are extremely dense. I'm pretty much keeping it between 1200 - 1300 calories and working out…

I'm in! Do you post these every day?

My husband starts off super encouraging, but then brings home candy when I'm stressed. :blushing: I know he's trying to make me feel better, but I'm going to start asking for flowers instead. I have a 3 year old daughter, and I read an article once that said to encourage your daughter to have a positive self image, YOU…

I'm on my 2nd week too! Disk 1 sucks. The first time I did it, my quads hurt so bad I had a hard time going up and down stairs, ramps, any sorts of inclines, haha. After a 5 day rest from disk 1 (I still did cardio and disk 2), I did it again. It was a lot easier, but it's still tough. Make sure you're letting your body…

Listen to your body - I had to skip 1 night last week, but didn't get a break until last night, and I was fine. It all depends on how you're feeling. I'm picking it back up tonight!

I was trying to think of exactly how I would word my response - this is good. Thanks. :heart:

I did DVD 1 again tonight - had a much easier time of it (not so many breaks!) . We'll see if I'm writhing in pain tomorrow or not! :glasses:

BEST. THREAD. EVAR.

Tomorrow makes day 7 for me - I followed the kick start diet, but there was no way I'd be able to exercise twice a day! So far it's been incredible - I've lost 8 lbs so far, the food is really not that bad (if a little redundant)... I guess my only complaint is that I went from literally NO exercise to DVD 1, and my quads…

5'11"! Starting at 227. :/ I weigh as much as I did when I was 7 months pregnant - yikes! Glad to see some other luscious tall woment here! :bigsmile:

I reported it as circuit training - hope it's accurate!

I started today! Woke up too late to do the first workout, but I am going to get up to do it right tomorrow. Thanks for the extra stretching advice - I need to make sure I don't skimp at all!

I started today, too! Did you start with the 7 day metabolism quick boost?
