Thanks, guys! The heart and stroke website has a ton of great recipes! I've been going through them and marking down my favorites. The doctor said the same thing - cooking at home is key. We tend to rely too much on eating out (mainly for lunch) and she said that if he's eating out, it doesn't matter if he thinks he's…

Thanks! I was going to suggest picking up a stationary bike, to see if that works better for him. I don't know what he hates about the elliptical. I think he's just bored with it (it was our go-to machine when we used to work out together, pre-kids!) I need to set the TV up in the basement again so he can watch while…

Count me in, too, if it's not too late. I need the motivation!

Yes, so lucky it's just bruises. I don't have access to aqua-fit or a pool of any kind in my area. We're lobbying to get SOMETHING built, but I'm sure I'll be healed by the time that's done. ;) I'll go with walking, and some arm/upper body exercises this week. My arms are weak and sad and could use some extra help, anyway.…

I just finished 30DS and supplemented with time on the elliptical or brisk walks when the weather allowed (it's still minus a billion here, true story!) I found the first week or so of 30DS to be BRUTAL, but then it wasn't so bad. The first few days of each level definitely hurt, but I was really impressed with myself by…

Definitely check out the possibility of diastasis recti. Super common in people who have had multiple pregnancies, and gives you that tell-tale "pregnant belly" even long after having babies. I know a lady at work who gets asked all the time. =/ It really sucks, but there are ways to improve it. Here's the routine I go…

I have dealt with IBS for...oh wow, just did the math. Twenty years. It was only diagnosed 10-12 years ago. I have only really started to get a handle on it in the past year.. About a year ago I discovered the miracle of probiotics. They have been a true game changer. I've been using one called Align, but it can be pretty…

Thanks for the response. I also noticed a huge improvement in skin/hair/nail health with the juicing, and we've only been at it a couple of months! I swear the "default" juice I chose from the food list must have the sodium listed wrong. I tried a few other ones, and they're all showing a surprising amount of sodium,…

Here's the link I was talking about: http://greatist.com/fitness/deskercise-33-ways-exercise-work I can't believe I never thought to stick a stationary stepper or cycler under my desk! I always seen them for cheap and thought they were silly. That's actually not a bad idea, and now I'll be keeping my eye out for a sale. ;)

I get up every hour, if at all possible. I stretch, then go for a brisk walk around the office. I found an empty floor a few stories higher up, and basically do quick "laps", at break or after I eat lunch. Bonus point for taking the stairs up to the empty floor. ;) I have a webpage bookmarked at work that lists 33…

I love 30 Day Shred because it's only 20 minutes, so it's easy to cram in while the kids are either asleep or doing their own thing. =) Only other advise is to track track track your food! I'm still finding it unbelievable how LITTLE you should eat if you want to lose weight. As someone who formally thought she was eating…

Yes, lots of small portions! But it was butter chicken and basmati rice which is my absolute favorite and probably a terrible option! It was all they provided. And was buffet! It took everything not to go back for seconds, haha. I did pat myself on the back for that. And then rewarded myself with a brownie during our…

Thanks for the pep talk. =) I refuse to give up! I don't see any changes weight wise or inch wise, but the stamina changes alone are worth it. I can get further and further each day with the exercises without taking a pause every few reps. On level 2, there's a "military style" leg raise thing she does that was IMPOSSIBLE…

Mom of three here, ranging in age from 2 to 10! Feel free to add me! I haven't figured out how to do that yet. ;)

I`m working my way through 30DS for the first time, and am about halfway through it. I haven`t noticed a change in my body at all so far, aside from feeling like I have stronger arms. The exercises in that video really work the arms, and I had insanely pathetic upper body strength, so I see this as a good fit for me. I…

I am in the same boat. Changed my diet completely back in early January, and have been exercising for admittedly only 2 weeks. but I have lost absolutely ZERO weight, and ZERO inches. The food changes alone should have been enough to cause some progress? But nothing. My pants actually feel TIGHTER. It's infuriating, isn't…

New to myfitness pal, and started 30DS 14 days ago and haven't lost a darn pound! What's up with that? I just started tracking food this week and it's very revealing. But I'm still staying within my caloric allowance for the day (or just under it), so what gives? I guess I'll give the food tracking some more time, and…

Ontario here. Brand new on this thing. I have no idea what I'm doing, but learned today that a single Ferrero Rocher contains 73 calories. No wonder I'm a whale. MIND BLOWN.
