Hi!! Just started the "Shred it With Weights".. It's awesome!! I am really sore though, after the first workout I had trouble sitting down and when I walked I looked funny... Heehee!! And this was AFTER finishing the 30 Day shred!! So yes, it's awesome!! I haven't tried the six pack one though.

Hi! I would go with 30 Day Shred!! I am on day 11 (every single day & haven't missed a day yet) I have only lost about 1-2 pounds but let me tell you, my body is changing VERY quickly. I've never seen results like this with anything!! Just to give you an idea....3 weeks ago I tried my darndest to do a chin up....I've NEVER…

Look under cardio exercises to get the calories burned for strength training. :D

I hear ya about life taking over and quitting. I just tried last month and didn't last too long. I'm gonna shoot for the spring when things settle down. I"ve been running for a little over two years and as long as I hit the treadmill or pavement a few times a week all is good. But if I miss a few weeks I really feel the…

Yeppers!! :D

Hi! I'm interested to see what the replies are. I too am dealing with a lot of stress and have gained weight despite running 5-6 times a week and being very careful with my food intake!! Wish I could offer some advice, but am looking for some myself! :D

I'm in the same boat!! I got down to my goal weight, then got sick and gaine about 7 pounds back. Once back on track, the scale wasn't budging at all and stayed the same for quite some time. I started calorie zig-zagging this week and I think it's helping. I've also upped my workouts to 2/day. IF you want to check out a…

Great post!! Could I add something?? Calorie Zig-Zagging. You still eat the same amount of calories per week, but you have high and low days. It tricks the body and is very helpful in breaking through a plateau. For example: (numbers are just examples) Monday: 1300 Tuesday: 1300 Wednesday: 1900 Thursday: 1400 Friday: 1200…

Hey! There is jumping jacks and high knee kicks etc. but there's the modified moves whereas you don't have to jump just move around in place. :D

Hi!! "In Zone" means your heart rate target that you would set on your monitor manually. For example. On my HRM (I have a timex one) I have my settings for my heart rate to be between 135 & 160. So when I'm wearing my HRM and my heart rate is in that range it records it as being "In the Zone" that I set. It's more of a…

Details??? You have me intrigued!!

Hi. I use the Slim Styles fibre granules. It comes in a container and you add it to your water/juice/smoothie and drink it before your meals. It recommends twice a day. I find it helps fill me up faster and does work. It is a form of the PGX Capsules but instead of taking those huge pills, you just drink it. It also helps…

OMG!! LOL!! I am sooooo shaped like a Dude!!! Hahah.. I'm 5'5" and my measurements are 36.5/27/32.. Eeek!! Hahah Sorry, just had to share!

Good morning everyone!! Congratulations to everyone who lost or stayed the same!! Way to go!! I stayed the same again!! UGH!! LOL!! But I did have a day or two where I ate a bit more than I should have!! Hahha. I made the water and exercise goals though and am feeling great!! I think the nutritional goal and water goal is…

Hi!! I haven't checked in yet this week!! Ooops, sorry!! I've been doing my 30 mins/day exercise except for 1 day. I've also been getting 15-18 glasses of water/day in. Glad to see everyone is doing well and meeting the challenges. I don't think I'll be weighing in at any less this week though. I peeked at the scale this…

I just recently downloaded it from iTunes for my touch. I did 1 workout on Sunday. My calves are still killing me!!!! I can barely walk downstairs!! LOL!! But I would definitely love to try and do the 30days!! I took will take pics and measurements on Friday!! WOOHOO!!

Hi! When I first started running I hurt really bad too. My hips, legs, bum, back...you name it. I ended up taking Ibuprofen before bed on the nights that I ran because I coudln't sleep otherwise because the aches in those areas would just keep me awake. My family doctor was organizing the C25K here and I mentioned to her a…

Water challenge sounds great. I'm usually really good during the week, but weekends kill me for my water intake!! And I like the "Little Losers" name too!!! Awesome job!!! :D

Awesome!!! It's great to have people to help keep you motivated!! Last night after supper I was feeling lazy. I was going to skip my day 2, but then thought about checking in with you!! Heehee!!! Thanks for the support and motivation!!!

How about...... Slim Slimmers for a name?? I dunno... LOL, just throwing it out there!! I'm excited about this group and am feeling quite giddy!!! HAHA!!

May I make one request??? Could we start a new thread each day or Friday instead of adding to one single thread? I don't know about everyone else but having a thread with a 500 ongoing posts gets hard to follow/find after a while. Lol! Thanks bunches!!!

September 3 works for me as well as Friday check in! Oh and I nominate AnneElise to be our chart gal!!! :-D

Me, Me, Me!! I'm in!! :laugh: Start Weight: 146 Goal Weight: 136

Hey!!! I did day 1 of week one tonite!! Just wanted to check in! Talk to u soon!

Hi!! I would love to join you!! I have been running for about two years now, but about 7 weeks ago I came down with a horrible cold and am JUST starting to get over it. I haven't run in that many weeks, except for once or twice somewhere in there. I had decided that I would start from scratch and work my way back up!! So…

Hi there!! just throwing out another idea for ya. I too have to limit my carbs or else I don't feel well and really have trouble losing weight, even gaining it while keeping within a calorie allotment. I have been doing the Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise. It is along the same lines as Atkins, South Beach etc with a couple…

WOW!! Sounds like you have been through quite a bit!!! And only 14 pounds until goal, that is amazing!! Welcome back!!! Hope you have a wonderful day & upcoming weekend!!

If you still like some carbs, healthy ones, maybe look into The Belly Fat Cure, by Jorge Cruise. Great program, limits carbs to 6 servings per day, and 15 grams of sugar per day. I started back on it this past Wednesday and I feel so much better already!!

Thank YOU!!! I have wondered that for a long time because like you, I lost a lot of weight pre-MFP!!! Have a great day!!

You are right, you are doing this for them as well!! Some people just don't know when to mind their own business and obviously has no idea the things you do with your family and time. People like that don't even deserve an explanation. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to dwell on it. You don't need to explain…
