I totally almost walked out too. I kind of stood there for a minute debating whether I should just come another day and get there on time, but when I turned towards the door a woman was like, "there are mats at the front" so I went and got one and so glad I stayed! :)

Very awesome and congrats! I will be doing day 5 of the shred today! Love it!

I'm so sorry...this about broke my heart. Maybe it wasn't quite polite to eat their food (assuming they hadn't given you prior permission?), but in NO way did you deserve what he did to you. I mean, you watched his kids! What he did was cruel and heartless and completely uncalled for! I have been fat for a while, but I…

The day after doing the shred, I was really surprised not to feel too sore and stiff when I woke up....but when I started doing day 2 of the shred...OMG, I definitely felt it!!

Finished L1D3 today. Had to skip yesterday because I was setting up for a yard sale until like 1 in the morning at my parent's house and ended up crashing there. I don't know about you ladies, but I think it's harder after taking a rest day...I'm also glad to know that I'm not the only one who does girly push ups and has…

cool, thanks for the recommendations. :) I will probably start in a class so that I can have some feedback as to how I'm doing and once I feel comfortable, I may get some videos and do it at home. Looking forward and hoping to find it very relaxing. :)

awesome article. :) thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to give yoga a try!

thanks girl! I know...I know, it's something I'm working on...and not just in regards to health. I am just way too self-conscious in general. But, alas, these things seem to take time and a whole lot of mental effort to overcome. :) I know I'll get there. :D

Just did L1 D1. I started the shred at the beginning of June and got to day 10 (with a couple rest days in between) and it was getting easier and I was using heavier weights for part of it. I stopped and started again today and it's like I never did it! I started back with the lighter weights and they got so heavy by the…

Very awesome feedback and suggestions! You have inspired me to give it a go! I will definitely be talking with the instructor ahead of time like some suggested, just to let them know that I'm new so hopefully they will look out for me. :) I am not new to group exercise, just yoga. I have done Zumba at the Y, but that was a…

That's about what I burn too. My HR is always higher than my optimal zone. If I tried to stay in the zone, I would only be able to walk...I'm hoping as I lose weight and get into even better shape that it will continue to go down.

so true! I started 30DS last month and had other workouts scheduled on top of it. Zumba twice a week and jogging 3x a week. It was too much and I burned myself out and caused some pain in my legs. I ended up going almost two weeks without exercise. This month I'm going to focus on just the shred and maybe get some other…

I had a bone spur on my knee and a small piece had actually broken off in front of it too. It was very painful and I opted to get surgery. It has been about 2 years now, and aside from the awful scar..., it's not doing too bad. It's not 100%, but I would say maybe 95% or so. much better than with the spur. I have started…

You look great! And you have some cute shirts girl! I love the polka dot one and the purple one with the bow belt. I want them! lol

Sounds good and not bad on sodium! I'm definitely going to make this. I haven't made meatloaf since starting my journey because I wasn't sure how to make it healthier. Thanks for sharing.

...fit into all of the clothes in my closet instead of picking and choosing the fraction of things that actually fit! ...stop jiggling when I run. ...look hot in a bikini. ...take some sexy pics for my husband who is overseas and actually look sexy in them! ...have more energy and less aches and pains. ...like what I see…

Wow! How awesome! You have so many people joining in this challenge now! You are right, no excuses. Gotta get back on it. I have a concert I'm going to at the end of July and I want to look HOT! :) I'll be starting on the 29th with you! Are we still doing 10 days at each level?

Okay, I have been kind of down and out the past few days...going to make a doctor appt that will hopefully help, but until then, going to try and do my best to get back on track. June 22 1. Mow lawn (at least the front) 2. Clean kitchen 3. Wash delicates

Wash a load of laundry 2. Clean kitchen 3. 45 mins of exercise pmjsmom- i just went to a couple of places looking for plants and they look like crap…

The FT4 is great! It counts calories and you can replace the battery yourself unlike some Polar models. It does what you need it too, but doesn't have a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. :) Very user friendly. I got mine on Amazon for about $65, but not sure how much it is now.

It does vary and I couldn't tell you either, but 20???!!!! Not likely...I wasn't even a size 20 at 5'8" and 245!!! That guy's off....

I didn't do any of those on the 12th and didn't set any goals for today. :( So, here are goals for the 14th. June 14 1. Run 2. Buy plants for garden 3. Wash at least 1 load of laundry
