I'm having the same problem! I have gone from a size 12 to a size 4 and have only bought a couple of things that actually fit. When I'm not at work, I live in my running shorts and tank tops. I have several skirts that I can still wear that are too big but not obvious. I would purchase those types of things that you can…

I also enjoy the 30 Day Shred and have a lot of Leslie's walking videos. My favorite is the boot camp video which is similar to the one you explained. You run, walk and do strength training with bands.

Thanks Imagymrat for the stretches and strengthening ideas. That's exactly what I was looking for! I don't stretch nearly as long as you stated and am looking forward to my run on Tuesday night. How do you feel about taking "rest" days. On my rest days I still walk a fast 2 miles. Maybe I need to take an actual "rest" day.

I started out with 3 lb weights as well. I think 5's might be too much if you are just starting out.

You need hand weights for 30 Day Shred and a floor mat or towel if you prefer.

I had been at a plateau for several weeks until I tried fasting. I only did it one day last week and lost almost 2 pounds. I am going to try it again this evening and one more day this week to see if I can get things going again. I think it's a great idea and not difficult at all. I ate a normal dinner and then started at…

I count it as water drank and add the crystal light calories to my food diary.

My favorite is the Evopro chocolate flavor protein shakes. I buy it from Smoothie D's but I'm not sure where else they are located. They have vanilla too that's really good with frozen fruit mixed in.

I started reading this thread last week and decided to give it a try this weekend. I ran on my treadmil barefoot and went a lot further than usual without getting winded. I was on the treadmil for about 40 minutes mostly running and only stopped because my toes were getting a little sore! I ran again yesterday with some…

I just bought a treadmill at Walmart but my previous one came from a pawn shop for about $50. If you have some around your town, you can usually call and they will let you know if they have one and hold it for you.

True for me as well! Thanks for the laugh!

I just got a cute pair of running shorts at Academy for $12 and I wear them with layering tanks. They are black and white so I usually wear a black tank over a white giving that same color/slimming look. You can get coupons on the Old Navy site and use them in the store and even Walmart is starting to carry more workout…

I do the same and find it very helpful. I always know when I can have an extra snack or not.

Slim fast doesn't seem keep me full so I haven't stuck with it for any amount of time. I drink an Evopro protein shake for breakfast and lunch along with some fruit or veggies and that seems to keep me satisfied. The slim fast shakes have like 230 calories so you have to be careful not to go over your intake if you're…

The first few days I did it my legs were literally shaking when I finished! My husband would ask me why I'm only working out for 20 minutes when I normally do 45-60 and I would tell him I just couldn't do any more! I don't care for the second level but the first and third are great. I can go back to level 1 any time and…
