You can exercise your face muscles...with your mouth you can say the short sound a as in apple....aaaaaaa then say the long o sound...oooooo I do this exercise in my car you alternate a, o, a, o. I also open my eyes wide and lift my eyebrows to tone around the eyes....I am a kindergarten teacher but did not make these up.…

Go to the "help me understand something"on the homepage...there is a discussion about calories and exercise that may help you.

Just read your posts...you need to be aware that if you don't eat enough calories your body's metabolism will go into "Starvation Mode". It will hold onto every little morsel and your weight loss will be less. As long as you are losing you are doing okay. If you stop losing weight you may not be taking in enough calories.…

yay, I just checked the challenges and I ate my fruit today...blueberries, banana and an apple!!!!:tongue:

Still limited to light walking but it is fun to see the challenges...At least I can do the "food" challenges. :bigsmile:

Now I am curious, how do you bump?

I am going to sign up for the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day! I say this every year...we've lived here 21 years! This year I will do the 2 mile walk...bad knee prevents running. I know one of my friend's did it last year so I will join her!:happy:

Someone on our thread suggested Dr. Colbert's Toxic Relief...I am reading it now. I am also recovering from surgery and gained 9lbs. due to water weight...I had not eaten anything for three days while in the hospital...a fruit cleanse is recommended over just water. It is true that your liver cleanses your system...a…

L1D5-I HAVE to modify the jumping jacks and push-ups!!! I do wall push-ups b/c my wrists hurt when I put too much pressure on them. I also have a bad knee. Remember when Jillian says she has 400 lb. people that do jumping jacks they are on the Biggest Loser ranch with medical support nearby. You have to do what you know is…

:drinker: I just found this shred thread. I did shred 4 times this week...I am having surgery next Wed. and wanted to get some good workouts before my s. I have to say that I wore a swimsuit yesterday for the first time this summer. I felt "toned" (still need tolose 30lbs.) and hope to start shredding when I recover. I am…

If you are really in shape the P90X would be great. My son was home from college last week. He was doing the workout. It looked pretty tough. He is in excellent shape and didn't have a problem. He told me I should get the Power 90 for beginners. It will depend on your physcial fitness condition. There wasn't a whole lot of…

Is anyone else doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred? I will be facing surgery in a few weeks so I am going to give it a faithful shot.

Tagging too...didn't get enough vegetables in today!
-
P.S. I would love to be your pal too. I can ask my boss which sites she recommends for you.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My boss was diagnosed last year. She is 44 y/o. She still rides her bike and goes running. I bought the Jilliam Michael 30 Day Shred DVD for $8.00 at Costco. It is a really good workout. I also use the Leslie Sansome walking tapes. They aren't as intense but the keep you moving. I wish…

I lost a few years ago on the Atkins but gained it back. It was difficult for me to stick with it. I am a carb lover. There are a lot of books about what we should/should not have to lose weight. I am finally accepting a lifestyle change and working on better food choices with portion control. I don't like a lot of…

:laugh: Put on some good old Donna Summer and dance away! :laugh:

I can't bring up the challenges either. I'll try bluenote's blog. She will post there sometimes.

I would like to know too. I've heard if you lose weight too fast it is hard to get rid of the "flab". My first guess is muscle strengthning execises...weights...Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred...Anyone else have ideas? P.S. Congrats on losing 56! Awesome!
-
Are they a meal replacement?
-
Ditto on 30 Day Shred! I don't use it everyday because I try to do other exercises. Costco has it for $8.00! Good Luck!
-
A friend from work and I decided to do the Shred minimum of two days. If we don't work out we put $1.00 in the kitty. In June, we will go out and have a healthy piece of cheesecake. LOL...We both must lose 10 lbs. by then to get the cheesecake! I'll be shredding on W, F, Sundays. Thanks for the motivation!

Hi Susan, looks like we are at 500 again. Did you create a new thread? Thanks, Eava
-
I hope I can join too. I've been doing shred for two months but only two days a week (along with curves, other dvd's). After reading your posts, I am soooo excited to start level 1 for this next 10 days. I'll see how it goes.
-
I forgot about eating more (healthy foods) to get over the plateau! Thanks ladies! Curves has a similiar diet where every third day you increase your calories...we just have to remember healthy calories not extra dessert!:bigsmile:

:blushing: I had been having some problems and recently started taking fish oil tablets daily. I add flaxseed to my cereal and also eat yogurt every other day. I have to say I am finally regular again. Green tea and blueberries are also great anti-oxidants. I don't know how old you are but if you are over 50, please get…

Keep in mind the BL are at a camp without the distractions of their lives. We are working, cooking, cleaning, shopping, and trying to lose weight!!!We would all lose the weight with Jillian as our trainer. I do the 30 day shred twice a week and can Always feel a difference after the workout. Give yourself a break and enjoy…

:bigsmile: I increased my workout to 45 minutes today...Hope to do it again all week!
