Thank you for the sane reply. I eat low-carb based on my doctor's recommendation. I have suffered from hypoglycemic episodes since childhood, so it's been a revelation for me. Since I started eating this way, I haven't had a single hypoglycemic episode, by which I mean shakes, uncontrollable emotion, including crying and…

People that really care about you will adjust to your new eating habits. My MIL, who is a lovely woman, always makes sure that there's non-fried meat and veggie options when I go to her house, and my BFFs always choose restaurants that have plenty of variety so that we all have choices that we can eat. I have to agree that…

It really is shocking how much "age" losing weight takes off of you. Many of the people who posted look like they lost 10-15 years. Just fantastic!

I'm 5'1", and I haven't been in the 110-115 lbs range since high school.

I had badly broken my toe and was completely sedentary for nearly six weeks. Here's me today, and that's three pants sizes. And this is more face/face:

I've read some more reviews of the workout this morning, and have come to the conclusion that I'm going to drop it. If you read the 1 and 2-star reviews on Amazon, people have had all manner of injuries with the video, mostly knees. It's probably a combination of inadequate warm-up and a focus on high impact cardio, plus…

Actually if you google 30 day shred shin splints, you'll find out that a lot of people have this issue. I was doing a different video with a lot of high impact work (like power jacks) and not having any issues with shin splints at all, which I am prone to. I added in 30DS because I was looking for some variety, but the…
