D12L2 done tonight. My hamstrings are still aching from the pole dancing class on Thursday night so those walkout push ups were killer when reaching down lol. We also did push up at the class... like real style no modified so those... yeah that walk out push ups were not easy today at any point. For the v raise squats I…

No shred for me... have been totally exhausted most of today. I started level 2 at lunch time yesterday and then went to an hour long intro/open house aerial aerobics class (aka pole dancing!!) last night. It was SUPER FUN. My friend and I have signed up to start the 6 week level one class and have decided to do twice a…

I found one site that said a 6" wrist for 5'7" was a large frame (I can't imagine was small frame wrist would be for them!!!), but all the others I found said small frame for 6".

I used a few different sites... as I had to figure out what exactly elbow breadth was lol, but this was the main one I was on: http://www.am-i-fat.com/body_frame_size.html And for elbow breadth here is a good diagram: pjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/bookstore/foodqa/ch4/ch4-2.jpg So you locate the two kind of points of your…

Both hubby and I have vibrams. Hubby does run in his, he no longer gets knee pain and his times are also much better than when he used to wear regular running shoes. Sneakers put padding where we naturally don't have padding and essentially let you run improperly... the "toes shoes" will probably make your feet/legs hurt a…

Ok so here are my results after 10 days.. I was going to wait until tomorrow but decided to go ahead and do the measuring tonight. I have taken "before photos" but am only going to do before/after, no in between photos lol. Start Day 1(7/12/11) W: 188 Waist (at bellybutton): 37.5" Bust: 42.25" Hips: 45.75" R thigh: 26.75"…

I've got a long lunch today so once a I let my food settle another 15 minutes or so I will get into gear and get today done. I've decided to go ahead to level 2 so today is D10L2. I will take measurements tomorrow morning before doing D11 and post my results for the first 10 days. I'm also doing an hour long pole dancing…

We almost adopted a male Australian Cattle dog before we got our lab, but someone had already spoken for them and we couldn't convince them to let us adopt him instead lol.

I <3 DANES... they are so awesome and laid back. I've got a 4 y/o Pembroke Corgi (also <3 corgis... I will have a herd of them one day lol) and a 7 month old black Labrador Retriever (English variety) Sydney the corgi: Sydney and Argus (corgi looking THRILLED!): Argus: Ok maybe that will work.. lol

I haven't personally gotten to the point where I use the protein powder yet, but a marathon runner friend of mine also suggest this brand to me when I asked about it. He said it also tasted the best of those ones he had tried.

Those size 8 Lucky brand jeans hanging in my closet that used to fit perfectly that I can't even get over my thighs... let alone around my waist lol.

I'm roughly 42"-36"-45" let's all take a guess at my body shape lol. But anyway you're similar to me and no one ever believes me when I tell them my weight. My husband CAN NOT believe I've gained 30lb+ since meeting him. I don't think it makes a difference in actually being able to lose or gain weight, but I think it plays…

A stone is roughly 14lbs... so 6 stone= 84lbs

I'm only on day 9, but I've already lost 4-5lbs. I did start eating better, drinking more water, and started the dvd all at the same time though. I imagine if you've already been exercising and eating better for awhile it may not come off as quickly. I've lost a number of inches already too... can totally tell a…

So I didn't end up doing the shred yesterday... felt so tired and lazy to be honest, I did manage to get out to ride the horse though. So technically today would be D8L1... but I'm not sure if I'm going to try and make up yesterday or not. I've considered doing the workout again tonight but moving on to level 2 (so would…

I love cereal as well and soo easy lol. But other things I've done are peanut butter toast.. although now I use a sandwich round and put 1 Tbsp on each half. Greek yogurt with fruit and granola mixed in. Or today I had an omelet that consisted of 2 whole eggs + 1 egg white, 1/3 cup turkey sausage crumbles and 1/4 shredded…

Wow.. .nice, that's awesome! Big one for your first tattoo.... although one of my friends just got her first and it's pretty large and on her side ribcage (ouch!). I've got one on my right front hipbone of a horse shoe but it's only about 1.5"X1.5". After my friend got one it made me want another though lol. Now the goal…

Vet Tech here as well with no kids planned for the future, 26 y/o. I'm actually what I call "indifferent"... hubby is 23 and doesn't want kids. I'm cool with no kids, but if he suddenly hits 25-30 and decides that yeah he wants them I'm ok with that too lol. But I'm quite happy with our animal children... 1 cat and 2 dogs…

Totally wish mine would get smaller... currently a 38DD, but sadly I already know that even when I get back to my goal weight of around 145 I'm still a 36DD. Only thing that's gonna help me is surgery.. already planning a lift with reduction when I get back to 140-145 range.

Is your scale level on the floor? Make sure you push down on each corner to make sure there is no wobble... I have many spots on my floors where they are not level and have to move it around to find a spot where it doesn't wobble, don't just put it down expecting the floor to be level. I also get on the scale and keep my…

I <3 Zumba.. I've never done the dvd's though, just classes. I'm not sure how the dvd's are but in the class I would say most of the dances require a bit of space so maybe not the best choice? Maybe try to find some examples on youtube and see if you can make it work before getting a dvd of it.

I love Pirate's Booty: Aged White Cheddar. It's made from puffed rice a corn, so gluten free. 1 oz (which is quite a bit) is 130 calories, 140mg sodium, 0 sugar, and 2g of protein, 5g of fat. I get the little bags.. come with six 1 oz bags.

I'm doing L1D7 today. I use 5lb weights as well.. although to be honest I've been switching to two 15oz veggie cans for the side lunge with anterior raises. I can usually get through most of the first set with the 5lb weights, but I'm dying on the second set... if I use the veggie cans I still get a burn by the end of each…

Awesome.. I've been looking for a healthy sweet potato pancake recipe!!

I'm planning to take measurements after every level. So I'll do them on the day I start level 2 but before I actually do the first workout for level 2. As far as weighing goes I told myself I was only going to weigh on tuesdays, but I'm horrible at that and I end up weighing myself every other day or so lol. I only log it…

That is ridiculous! I'm gonna have to go see if I can find the whole show to watch.

Mine stay the same I just drop in the band size (from 38DD to 36DD) or whatever it's called lol. I have to wear a regular bra + sports bra to do anything athletic. And sometimes when I'm riding I still get the "Do you have a bra on?!" Yes I do... in fact I have TWO on!

I'm 26 and looking to lose about 40lbs...

Vet Tech here and this is off topic, but please don't feed all leftovers to your dog either... approximately 50% of dogs in the US are obese. An extra pound on them is so much worse than an extra pound on us. Just like people, it can cause extra wear and tear on joints, the heart, blood sugar, liver/kidneys. Just throw it…

I totally count mowing the yard with the push mower, took me two freaking hours last week because it was so thick that I had to push really slowly or else bog down the mower and have it shut off. It sucks and I sweat buckets lol. I don't log things like laundry, dishes, vacuuming though...
