There is really something going around. I haven't been able to start yet either due to illness. My cough sounds like I'm trying to hack up a lung. I finally got on antibiotics & hope to start next Monday 1/13.

Started Level 2 - OMG! I thought I was going to die! It's a lot harder than Level 1. I could really do WITHOUT all of the boob shots of Jillian's chest. LOL! :heart: Christy

Done! I did day 3 & 4 today. Trying to work on getting caught up since I started late. :heart: Christy

Done!

Legs are a little sore. 5lb weights were seriously putting the hurt on me so I had to go down to 2lb ones. I have whimpy arms. :heart: Christy

Day 2 down! I need to catch up with everyone else. I hate being behind. :heart: Christy

Got a late start on 30 day Shred, started today 3/6. Do you think if I did it twice a day for the next few days that it would "catch me up"? :heart: Christy

If you brush your teeth, you won't want to snack. It's a trick I use to keep from going over my calories sometimes. I've found it very effective. :heart: Christy

Great Challenge Idea - I do weight training on Tues & Thurs. I added an extra set of reps to my exercises today & will do it again on Thurs. :heart: Christy

Drinking water is so hard. I love my diet Dr Pepper. I wish that counted! I am managing to get 2-3 8 oz glasses of water a day. What about adding a flavor booster such as Crystal Light or Mio? :heart: Christy

I love the yellow snow & peeing in the wind! You are toooooo funny! :laugh: I have a great website to share as a tip. It's called Shopwell. You type in basic info (age, gender, etc), health issues (diabetes, high blood pressure, etc) & any other concerns you have or want to watch (sodium, weight mgmt, etc). You can search…

Count me in. I'm kind of stuck & need some extra motivation. Start weight (weighed myself yesterday)- 212.6 lbs 12/11 - 19/11 - 26/11 - 03/12 - 10/12 - 17/12 - 24/12 - :heart: Christy

Hello Ladies! I'm back. I've been gone for far too long. I tried doing it on my own for a while with no support & not tracking my food. That didn't work out so well for me - I gained 7 lbs. I've been trying to get back into the swing of things. It's been slow but I'm making progress. I'm logging more often & starting to…

Friday Foods Vegetables, vegetables, vegetables – I love them & they have so few calories. They are so varied in color, taste & texture that how could you ever get bored with them. Pictsweet has some vegetable medleys that come in a box (2 servings) that are just wonderful. I bring them for lunch quite often & eat the…

I've been trying to get caught up from being off work last week so I haven't had much time to get on MFP. I'm logging my food but haven't had the time to read & post. Thursday Triump It has been 3 months since I joined the Group Personal Training at the gym & I was measured today to see how much progress I've made. I've…

Monday Check In I had a diet soda last week because the restaurant had nothing but tap water - I don't drink tap water! It was the first diet soda I've had in 2 months. It tasted ok but nothing I couldn't live without. I immediately went back to my water. I still don't care for water but I know that it's healthy so I keep…

Spring Break is over so it's back to work & school for my son & I. BOO! :grumble: The good part is now I'll be able to get back into my routine of eating better, exercising more regular & logging on to MFP to chat with my friends! :smooched: :heart: Christy

Thursday Triumps I'm proud to say that the hike yesterday didn't land me in the bed recovering from aching noodle legs or anything! I have a little calf soreness but that's all. I've now unpacked all of my spring & summer clothes to get them washed up ready to go when the weather is right. I found that I can put on my…

Wednesday Weigh-In/Exercise I'm still gaining/losing the same pound. :angry: I started the calories cycling this last weekend & I hope to see some results by the next weigh in Wednesday. Today my son & I went to Pinnacle Mountain with my sister-in-law & nephew. We hiked for almost 2 hours. It wasn't hard core hiking but it…

Tuesday Test Yourself My test is staying on track with calories while being off on Spring Break with my son. I will try to pop in every day for a quick post, not much more because Dakota is keeping me busy. We are loving the time together so you won't hear me complain! Hope everyone is having a great day! :heart: Christy

Monday Check In Hey everyone! I got on the scales this morning & found that same pound again. :frown: My weigh in day is Wednesday so I hope it will be gone again. I'm going to try calories cycling for the next couple of weeks to see if it is going to make any difference. My son is on Spring Break this week & took the week…

Saturday Sharing My son's baseball team was in a tournament. Thursday was the first game & they got skunked! It was double elimination so they had to play a different team this morning at 10:00. They did much better but still lost so they were out of the tournament. The boys were sloppy & not listening. The coach decided…

Caltrate chewable with vitamin D I've tried the regular ones that you just swallow but they leave a nasty taste in my mouth. :heart: Christy

These are ones that I like, except for corn tortillas. The flour ones have calcium, just not as much. *Dark green leafy vegatables (lettuce, broccoli, celery, okra) , beans & peas (navy, pinto, garbonzo, lima, black), grains (brown rice, quinoa, oats, tortillas-especially corn), nuts (almonds, walnuts) There's a lot of…
