Freakin' amazing. Everything about it. The story, the pictures, the quotes, and the composition of the video in general. This should serve as an amazing inspiration to anyone of what can be accomplished with the support of friends and family. No fads, no gimmicks, no miracles, just hard work. Great job!

Welcome back! I'm another second round noob. You've recognized the issue(s) and you're headed down the right path, you've got this!

I totally can't have it in the house. I'd be in big trouble. Assuming my teenage boy didn't beat me to it, that it. And I completely agree with the above statement of not really wanting it anyway. I actually turned around half way to our local favorite ice cream shop a while back. I was driving through town and thought to…

Honestly (and I hate to admit this) I quit doing it. I loved level 1. I was definitely getting bored with it and ready to move on to 2. I did 5 days of level 2, and all 5 days nearly killed me. Even with modifications. My knees and ankles couldn't take it. And I have never had ankle problems before! As much as I would love…

My husband had an episode not too long ago. It was the first time, and we had no idea what it was until he went in. He says his miracle food is raw spinach. Mostly I think a diet high in fiber is key.

Mine's on my bra. Mostly because I feel like I have less of a chance of losing it there.

I have been at the same weight for 4 weeks. It is so frustrating. But, i know my body is changing. I can see it. And that's really all that matters to me. Stick with it! You will see results. A lot of times we can't see the changes in our own bodies, that's why pictures are so beneficial (not that I'm one to talk-I don't…

I have some Ellen Barrett videos on Netflix and Hulu that I will go back to. She combines power yoga with pilates. They're awesome! Then I'll probably rotate some Jillian in there every few days, too. I also walk every morning and have been riding bicycle. And 8 Minute Abs. Hmm...I have a lot! :P
-
LOVE her recipes!
-
Today should have been day 9 for me. I haven't been doing it every single day. Last week I followed Jillian's suggestion of 2 on 1 off for 30DS. This week, I've done it every day until today. I just couldn't. I needed a break from it. So, I went for a 45 min 4.5 mph walk instead! :smile: It was fabulous. I'll go for a bike…

Bump so I can read all this later. Awesome!!

I eat an exercise bar 15-20 minutes before I start my 5:15 am workout. I didn't eat one yesterday because I woke up late and knew I didn't have time for it to settle before I started my workout. I seriously didn't think i was going to be able to finish. The first half (30ds) was OK, but then I went out on my walk and…

Easy might be stretching it for me. Definitely easier than Day 1, though. I struggle with the side lunge and lateral arm raise. Lunge...OK. Arm raise...yikes! I like the chest flys. I wish the ab work was more challenging. I don't really start feeling it until about halfway through the bicycle crunches. And I wish she…

Ditto

I'm going to have this same issue. May have to look into the Arbonne.

I did my day 5 this morning. It was not my intention to be this far behind. Wouldn't be so bad if I had done some other exercise over the weekend, but it was mostly just yard work. I expected to have a tiny setback, but it wasn't bad at all. In fact, I'm still doing more pushups each time. Yay! Previewed Level 2 this…

I am desperately trying to get the Lion Brand Raglan Cardi finished up. I joined the KAL on Rav. I'm so close! Just have to sew up the arm holes and do the front ribbing. I'm hoping to be able to wear it to work next week.
-
Bump. That first recipe looks amazing!
-
I made it! I wasn't so sure I was going to make it through this one. It seemed kind of tough this morning, for some reason. I am kind of tired, though. It's the end of the week and I haven't been getting to bed nearly as early as I should have all week. I'm hoping that's the culprit.
-
Marking for later. Definitely need to do this, since my Fitbit told me I walked nearly 6 miles one morning when it was actually only 4.

For quite some time now, I've been making oatmeal in my crockpot overnight. I have one of the Hamilton Beach ones that came with 3 different size crocks, 2-4-6. I use the 2 quart to make my recipe, sometimes I double it with the 4 quart. 1 cup steel cut oats - available at an grocery store, but if you can find them bulk in…

Today was actually my day 2. I have next to zero upper body strength, so did modified push-ups yesterday, and barely managed that. I think I got a total of 6 done. Today, I was sore enough that I was only able to do 2. So, I did 1 on the first set and then held plank, then did the same thing on the second set. The side…
-
What the heck, I'm in! I bought it on Amazon last night-instant video, and am about to go do the first day. Here goes nothing!
-
I do the same. Alarm set for 5am every morning. It's the only time I have. I've always heard that morning exercise is best because it gives your metabolism a boost for the day. Haven't ever looked into it, though, so don't know how much support is really behind it.
-
Congratulations, that is amazing! You look like a completely different person-and so extremely happy with your beautiful family! Congrats to your wife, also!

I love 8 Minute Abs. It's old-1994 maybe? But it's effective. No matter what I do, I don't get the same results.
