Hi group! Sorry I haven't been checking in, I've been in and out all week, and last night I adopted a kitty, so I've been spending time with him between going out, working out, driving, etc. I weighed myself tonight after dinner which I KNOW is bad, but here at home I don't have an accurate scale so I used my friend's…

*had a double post, but just edited it with another thought* Okay, you say you were on a bike ride, and yet these immature brats are sitting on their butts calling you names? I hope they were eating something. People can be such hypocrites sometimes.

Oh honey I absolutely know what you are going through. I like some of the ideas the others have come up with. I know this may not be the best advice for safety reasons on a bike, but have you considered an mp3 player or iPod to drown out any future negativity? I went walking today up and down my street with my mp3…

I gained a pound this week so I feel your pain. Better luck this coming week hon! :bigsmile:

It seems my first post here (page 2) got a little buried :laugh: But I went out walking today and I had my AIM away message set up so I could calculate how much time I walked...I went out the door at 12:33pm (EST) and came back in at 1:37pm (EST)!!! That's the longest I've ever walked in my life...and I was walking and…

I use a program called MP3Rocket -- you can find it at download.com, just search for it in the search bar. It looks and acts almost exactly like Limewire.

First of all congrats on the baby!! :happy: For meals, this is my usual routine...I have five meals a day. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Breakfast is usually whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, some sort of juice [your choice], and either a bowl of Special K, or a bowl of oatmeal. Sometimes if I don't feel…

Hi there :) I am currently in the middle of 30-day shred. I push myself every day on level 1. Jillian advises on her podcast NOT to do it every day if you feel like you're going to die. And believe me, the first few days will literally kick you in the butt. But since I started it about 2 weeks ago, my endurance has…

Hi everyone...I'm JoAnna. Basically, my story in a nutshell: I went to get weighed for birth control in late March and saw 206. It scared me. I'm only 5'1", so I know what that is in BMI standards :grumble: Since then, I have been dieting and working out. I've cut out almost all chocolate except for these low-cal brownies…

I love the 100 calorie packs myself. I still go to college and I make a little lunch of a sandwich, a bottle of water, and one of those 100 calorie packs. This coming fall, I'll get to do that twice a week, so I guess that's moderation enough...and I've been strong before where I never ate the whole box or even close in…

Aaaaaaaand my title's too long. GRRRRR. Guess I can't edit that...:laugh:

You are amazing. Thank you for your kind words. I am in fact aiming for the 140s and this boosted my motivation a lot. :bigsmile:

I am on it and I have lost 12 pounds. Every woman is different so the shot affects everyone differently. I hope you start losing again soon! :smile:

3/4 cup vanilla almond Special K with 1/2 cup skim milk 2 slices of peanut butter toast on whole wheat bread 1 8oz. glass of V8 Fusion Juice (Passionfruit Tangerine)

I'm in the middle of it now actually. I just started last week and level 1 was getting easier for me, so I decided to venture into level 2. THAT was painful! I'm going back to level 1 until, as she says, "I'm ready to progress." Good luck! She will kick your butt up and down the street! :laugh:

2 pieces of whole wheat toast with peanut butter 1 banana, sliced 1 glass of ice water

:laugh: I was there about 3 years ago...I don't remember what they were back then but just so you know! :laugh:

Fresh fruit is expensive here. :laugh: I was lucky enough to snag bananas for $1 a bunch! But I made sure to get light syrup and not heavy syrup. It'll work for now I suppose, as a learning experience :wink:

I had a chicken breast footlong from Subway. ♥

I've seen the website and I understand that much...but isn't every oven different? Gas vs. electric? (I have a gas oven BTW). I'm not really asking for the recipe so much as meats in general. And I would really like to learn to make veggies, i.e. I bought string beans today but have no idea how to make them, etc. etc. etc.…

I started about a week ago. It works up a MAJOR sweat but it's 20 minutes a day...sometimes I do it 2x a day...it is pretty simple [at least on level 1] in terms of the exercises. I definitely do recommend it! Just make sure you have some dumbbells/hand weights heavy, or if all else fails use canned veggies for your…

Mine is my initials and a few random numbers thrown together. I didn't know what to pick and I hate agonizing over that type of thing :laugh:

"My Life Would Suck Without You" - Kelly Clarkson Sirius/XM Radio♥

I got this in the mail about a week ago and am not stopping doing it. The best thing you can remember is something Jillian herself will tell you: when you are ready to move on, do so. You don't HAVE to do each level for ten days. I am still on level 1 and working up a pretty good sweat! (Hint: to log this for your…

What do you do after working out, just relax on the bed/couch or something? That's my problem with naps. If I tend to lay down in my bed or on the couch I usually fall asleep for a good two hours. If that's not the case...I honestly don't know. I hope it helps a little though.

Two slices of peanut butter toast for me.

1. I DID TOO!!!! :laugh: 2. The song = bad. Kris's voice on the song = good. 3. "Heartless," "Ain't No Sunshine," "Falling Slowly," = OMGGGGGGGGG :love:
