Hey I'm Liz :) I just wrote a bunch on the intro page, so I'll keep this short and sweet lol. Starting Weight: 162 pounds Short-term Goal: 150 pounds Long-term Goal: 140 pounds I don't really have a timeline for my weightloss. I'm a VERY slow loser with PCOS and Insulin Resistance, but here's hoping being 100% committed to…

Hi, I'm Liz. I'm 29 years old, and I'm currently living in Toledo, Ohio, where I'm bored out of my mind haha. As soon as some family health issues have been resolved, I hope to move back to South Korea, where I spent the last 3 years teaching English. So bummed to record my starting weight this morning... I'd been just…

Thanks for starting a group, msnucerity! I really don't like what MFP has done with the community section over the last several months, and I find groups much harder to navigate. It'll be nice having a dedicated group where it's easier to follow what's new and all that.

Hi :) I'm going to get back to doing Jillian workouts on January 1st! Probably not just Body Revolution. I love variety in my workouts, so I do different DVDs all the time. I'm going to try to come up with a rotation of all my Jillian DVDs that sort of follows the Body Revolution plan. I've been consistent about working…

I'm in! I've already paleo meal planned for the first 10 days of January. And between now and then, it's eating up the stuff that won't work for the paleo reset because I've certainly gotten off track. I'm not going to do a Whole30 this time as it's a bit too restrictive, but I will use a lot of favorite Whole30 recipes :)…

I'll sign up for Garrison Duty. As I've picked up in my training at Hogwarts, "Constant vigilance!"

Incredible! You look amazing. You should be so proud of all your hard work :)

FYI I had to revert back to the spreadsheet from October 14th. I noticed my column had been overtaken by a new member, but I copied her minutes into her column. So if you logged anything in the last day or 2, you'll want to add it in again. Sorry about that!

Just doing a quick check-in. I went on a 3-hour hike with a friend yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the week, I didn't really do much formal exercise. I've been staying with different friends every night or 2 and just enjoying what is now my final week in Korea. I'll be back in the States on the 19th, and from then I'm…

Thank you~ Just checking back on this now. I havent had my computer with me and the new community section of MFP is way confusing on the phone at least. Ive gone to some traditional Korean cities, the beach, the film festival village, etc. this week, so I have taken a nice variety of pictures :)

Actually not settled anywhere yet :-O I've been living in Korea for 3 years, and I'm moving back to America to stay with my parents at least till the end of the year on October 19th. Until then, I'm staying with different friends for a couple nights at a time and traveling around Korea a bit. So... it's me, a carry-on…

Okay.. I was able to restore to a previous version and add the new minutes in.

Oh I just saw this, guys! Sorry I moved out of my apartment a couple days ago, and I've been storing suitcases and boxes all over the place with friends, and have been super busy/stressed the last couple days. First time I've been on my computer, so I had no idea until now something happened with the spreadsheet...…

I'm at a little over 8 hours for the first week: 489 minutes. I have my daily counts on the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rpsKXx8QG9KqHKD46HITywDld2YujYcB-ozZwQibG2g/edit#gid=0 It's mostly been YouTube videos, and tonight I went to my dance class. Tomorrow is actually my last day in my apartment/at…

Just sent you a message and friend request, dfaulk :) I'd also love more friends from this group since it'll be ongoing. Are you planning on counting your "Very Active Minutes" from Fitbit? What I'm thinking of doing is if it's a day when I specifically work out (like dance class, spinning class, workout videos, etc.) I…

Yay I'm glad other people might be able to use the spreadsheet :) I'm a dork and I have all kinds of charts and checklists for exercise hahaha. If you put just the minutes (no text) in the box, it will automatically calculate your total minutes and how many minutes you have left.

Ah I'm still at work for today, and I'm not a morning exerciser lol. When I get home I'm going to do at least an hour of exercise videos. Probably more than usual, since I won't be getting a walk in today. It's been pouring since last night!

Hey everyone, I created a Google Spreadsheet for myself, so I can easily type in my minutes each day and then see how many minutes I have to go by the end of the year. I thought some others might be interested in using the document as well. That way we can check on each other's progress as often as we want :) LINK:…

I agree- weekly or I'll forget to post here :)

This challenge sounds great! I like committing to the idea of about an hour of activity each day, but knowing that I can always take a day off if I need it and put that time in another day :-D For exercise, I usually do dance or spinning classes, workout videos, or take nice long walks around town. The weather is perfect…

This challenge sounds amazing! Really, I would be happy to join any house. In order of preference, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Gryffindor (since I see Gryffindor at least is full.) I've always wanted to try one of these team challenges :-D

I don't know if you'd consider this a protein bar, but it has 5 grams of protein per bar. I recently tried the Fruit & Seeds Trail Mix No-Nut bar from The Good Bean company and I really enjoyed it. Went through the box quickly, so I'll have to reorder soon:…

Sounds exactly like Oral Allergy Syndrome. It started for me in junior high school with fruits like apples, kiwis, pitted fruits... By high school, it included berries, tropical fruits, etc. Once I started college, I could add walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, carrots, celery, soy... to the list. These days, the only raw fruits…

Hey everyone, I'm Liz I started my first 21 Day Fix yesterday, May 1st :) (Already the 2nd in Korea.) I'm just following the nutrition part since I do spinning classes 4-5 times a week, Taekwondo 2x/week, and do 2 different YouTube daily workout challenges currently. I felt rather hungry yesterday, especially later in the…

Hey I'm going to add you as a friend. I'm starting my first round of 21 Day Fix on May 1st :)

Truly amazing and inspiring!

That's an excellent question! I've been moving on to make sure I don't get bored and that I keep challenging myself. I'm doing workouts 5 and 6 right now (beginning of Phase 2) but I've definitely had to modify some things. Pushups and plank variations are my weakness, so I'm just doing whatever I can. Phase 1 I would be a…

I'm also waiting until the end of each phase to take new measurements and weigh myself. My eating has been really off this week, so I REALLY need to get that on track as I finish up week 3 and move onto week 4. I've had some comments about looking slimmer the last couple weeks, and I definitely feel stronger and better…

Hey :) I'm doing Phase 1 Week 3 this week too :) I've done Workout 3 and Workout 4 once so far. I really like them! I definitely worked up a sweat doing Workout 4 last night! Since life sometimes does get in the way, I decided to start in September but give myself till December 31st to finish the program in case there are…

Wow 3 times in one year- you're amazing! This is my first time doing Body Revolution, but when I did 30 days of the 30 Day Shred, I was really impressed with the changes in my body, so I can't wait to see what 90 days will do :-D
