Hi friends! Sorry I've been MIA but I took a little hiatus from posting online (didn't take a break from healthy eating.....except for Thanksgiving.....and day after thanksgiving......and the sunday after......but besides that, NO CHANGE......). I definitely splurged BIG TIME on alcohol last saturday when my Seminoles…

Yvonne - right there with ya! I took friday AND sunday off from the shred.....despite buying knee braces my knees were killing me and I barely made it through day 6 of level 2 on Sat. However, I think taking off fri and yesterday really helped b/c my knees aren't killing me today. I think I'm going to have to follow Anita…

Hello everyone! Sounds like you all had fun weekends.... Pam - good job on the weight loss!!!! Yvonne - I can't believe YOU got up and your trainer didn't!!! Usually it's the other way around?? I totally splurged this weekend - I didn't do my 30D shred fri or yesterday but made myself do it Sat. b/c I went to a wonderful…

The problem is that I am working out 6 days a week for an hour every day and I am SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I can't sleep if I'm hungry at night, so I have to try and eat something later at night or I am STARVED by bedtime. I am hoping that the new calorie goal will help me not feel as bad about eating more... Is it possible…

I know it's frustrating!!! Have you tried switching to 5lb weights and/or following Natalie? My KNEES ARE KILLING ME! I may have to switch to every other day :( I have been stretching and am wearing knee braces now but my knees are still hurting. Sigh. I even tried to follow Anita and not bend as much but they creak and…

Got it! Although when I set it at 1500 calories a day it told me my weight loss will only be .7 a week......tear. I think that's crap though b/c I'm building muscle which they don't seem to account for?

Hoooollllaaaaaaa fellow shredders! (that's 'Holler' said in Ellen Degeneres style, as opposed to 'Hola' the spanish word for Hello, just so you know) I took Monday off (decided to make myself take every monday off).....and finished day 3 of Level 2 yesterday. OUCH. I bought 5lb weights and had to switch them out for the…

HOOOOLLLLLAAAAAAA! Sorry I've been MIA but I don't normally get on the computer a lot on the weekends as I sit at one all week reading case law or writing legal memo's.......zzzzzzzz. Anywho.....I took Monday off AND went over calorie goal. Boo. However, I was hungry all day long and screw it, I need to eat. I'm worried my…

Ah yea......Anita and I are BFF's........I didn't try to do the most difficult stuff at the beginning......going to work my way into it! Although, I did use 5lb weights b/c I forgot my 3lbs....Oh well. Heart rate stays WAY up and I can see some tone......soooo.....guess that works. I have also decided to take every monday…

Hello everyone! Had a rough friday night (see my status from this weekend)....went home and drank 2 glasses of wine and had 10 oreos. BUT I got my butt up Sat and Sunday and did my 30DS video then 30 mins of cardio AND was under calorie goal. And the best part was I went shopping and was fitting into ALL size 8's! (it was…

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 13 days of this the scale finally moved.......3 lbs! Last week was TOM.....so that probably had a lot to do with it. I think it takes awhile for your body to build the muscle and start burning more fat and calories. I have also been doing an additional 30 mins of cardio (be it biking or walking…

I'm with all of ya'll on the weight loss! I lost the last 2.5 pounds from the weekend but think I too am screwing myself with sodium! Gotta get a handle on it. Who knew it made such a difference??? Also, my knees are KILLING me. The weather just turned cold here, so that may have something to do with it but I'm thinking I…

I love it that I read your postings with a British accent in my mind......BRILLIANT! Love it :)

Thanks for the add ons! I'd love more suggestions!!

WAY TO GO ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say fitting into a size 8 pair of pants my friend can't wear anymore was the highlight of my weekend :) I've also lost an inch from my hips and an inch from my waist! yay. And.......DRUM ROLL PLEASE......ZERO DRINKS THIS WEEK! I have found I'd much rather save my calories for a…

Have any of you read Jillian's books? I'm wondering if maybe she talks about the no weight loss at first issues? I haven't lost anything either (well I actually gained 2.5 lbs - so I've lost THAT...but still puts my weight loss to where it was before!). I have been very strict about my diet and have been under calorie goal…

It's a tough workout for sure!!! I only just finished day 7 and feel exhausted. If you can at least make an effort throughout every workout - that's better than not doing anything at all right?? Follow Anita! :)

I don't know if I could do 5lb weights with the crunch/shoulder roll move but I could definitely use something heavier for when you're on your back and doing the arm presses (I can't ever remember the official names!). Today was my day 6, so tomorrow day 7. I'm totally with ya on the morning work out!! So nice to have it…

Amy - I can't do 'real' pushups either!!! Never have been able to - but I figure doing 'girl' pushups is better than nothing!! I have been working out pretty heavily (which for me is running) since Sept 21st, but just started 30DS October 27th.....SO I decided to take yesterday off, as I have not allowed myself many of…

I was good all weekend and then finally caved and had two Bud Selects.....which then put me over my calories for the day but oh well. I helped a good friend clean out her bedroom and closet......she needs to be on the show 'hoarders' that's all I'll say! It was such a long day, and her A/C broke in the beginning of it! (I…

Ok I know I'm behind the curve but I started this on October 25th (so today will be day 6 for me). I SO NEED ENCOURAGEMENT! I was away for the weekend and was faithful on my diet (even ran for an hour AFTER my 30D shred sessions on saturday AND sunday) and came home to weigh myself this morning and the scale showed I'd…

Thanks for the support Kim and Robin! Robin - my knees really hate Jillian too.....may need to do her workout every other day (I have bad knees as it is!) Kim - As for avoiding situations.....it's honestly just the easiest thing to do. The traffic is the pits downtown, other drunk people around me when I'm sober is…

Sooooo, after my exciting lunch work-out yesterday, I not only had alcohol, I had 2 glasses of red wine AND a skinny cow dessert, AND went over calorie goal. I started out SO well and lost 11-12 lbs (not sure what my starting weight really way) and now my body is stuck at 160 and won't get down into the 150s!!!! Grrrrr.…

PS.......Jillian Michael's DVD is $9 at wal-mart and comes with 3 levels.....it's also on Demand (with Comcast) for free...... Actually, if you get unlimited free on Demand with your cable package, I know Comcast has a ton of exercise stuff.....always good to try something different.

HELLOOOOO ladies! Kim - love the new pic - you look great! Robin - 15g of sugar - seriously??? SERIOUSLY?? I'm not sure which is worse - low sugar intake or no alcohol..........However, you go with your bad self. *PS Love the "siren call of alcohol" quote from before.... If you guys need a kick to your diet, you HAVE TO…

Thanks! It was a bit of an overkill with running but very fun. It's frustrating b/c with that amount of cardio you're hungry all the time and yet still trying to be healthy. Oh well...going to try to weigh in again Wed Morning :)

PS - here are some more of my other favorites (that I don't think were mentioned): Front Row/Help I'm alive - Metric Hysteria - Muse Panic Switch - Silversun Pickups Waking up in Vegas - Katy Perry Break Me Out - The Rescues Knock you down - keri hilson, kanye west Roam - B-52's Desperately Wanting - Better than Exra Old…

Thanks for all the replies!! Nothing wrong with more responses, as I could always use good work out songs! I ended up with the following playlist and had my best 5k time yet! (29:39) Second Hand News - Crushes (the Covers Mixtape) Mates of State Fighter - Christina Aguilera Turn the Page - Metallica Entert Sandman -…

Glad to see everyone else has been indulging......I did two 5k's this weekend and still gained 2 lbs somehow!!! UGH. No alcohol fri night but had fried chicken, and then Sat did 5k in the morning but indulged on hot sake and hibachi at dinner (although I had steamed rice and vegggies with no lo mein or fried rice, which I…

What brand of HRM do you use??? I did 42 mins of walking the pooch yesterday, went over in calories but only by 17 (ish)..... Today I am on schedule, still have 650 calories left for dinner tonight and running Race for the Cure in the morning!
