Day one is done. I think I will have the most trouble with the pushups. Are modified pushups acceptable?

I didn't have time for a traditional workout but I spent 3 hours shampooing every carpet in my house. That is a lot of work. I killed two birds with one stone. :)

Hi I am Nikki. I joined this group for a couple of reasons. I will be having surgery on the 5th so I won't be able to do a lot of lower body exercises for a couple of weeks. Plus I have those awful floppy arms. I won't even wear a tank top because my arms are so ugly. I am hoping this challenge will get me some sexy arms.…

Day 4 of level 1 done. I can't believe I am actually getting this done. I feel so good about myself. I have lost a fair amount of weight here but I don't want to be flabby. I am ready to take that next step into unflabby land. I am on my way to ULTIMATE HOTNESS. LOL!!!!

Thanks. I am going to give these a try.

I just finished level one day three of the 30 day shred. Today wasn't as bad as yesterday. But I also found out today that I have a cyst on the back of my thigh that will be surgically removed on the 5th of September. I was told no strenous activity until it is healed. But my doctor said I could still do some arm…

Can you share the link? I need some relaxation tips. I rarely sleep straight through the night.

Just finished level one day two of the 30 Day Shred. I am not as sore as I was the last time I attempted this. I am sweaty though. Time to hit the shower.

I weighed in this morning at 180.2. When I decided to lose weight I was at 217. That is an accomplishment by itself but I still need to lose more. Here are my measurements: Neck 14" Bust 45" Waist (at my belly button) 43" Hips 42" Butt 42 1/2" Right arm 13 1/2" Right thigh 24" Right calf 16 1/2" (hate my calves) I used a…

I am going to start with the 30DS and after I complete that (keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't kill me) I will find something else to do for the next 30 days. The last time I did the 30DS I was so sore I could barely move. I am hoping that doesn't happen again. I am really excited for this challenge but nervous…

My name is Nikki. I live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. I am 35 (today actually) with 3 kids aged 16, 13 and 11. I am not exactly a single mother. I have a boyfriend that I have been with for 9 years but my children don't see their father. I guess I have always felt fat. In high school I was probably a size 8 but…

Only 5 pounds?? I could have sworn my were heavier than that. I have often thought about throwing those bad boys in the fruit scale at the store but I don't think my kids would like that too much. LOL!!

We eat out a lot too. But I truly hate to cook. I do it because I know that it is healthier and cheaper but if I can manage it money wise I will eat out. If I ever get rich I am going to have a few personal chefs on hand at all times. LOL!

I am just going to say that I love all of you right now. LisaMfit4life for starting this group and all the rest of you for the support that you have already given. This is going to be the best challenge I have joined.

I am sure I will get a lot of BS for this post but here it goes anyway. I will never get married. Not for love (which I do have) or for insurance benefits. Getting married is just a piece of paper to prove to everyone else that you love each other. Why do you have to prove to anyone how you feel about someone else. If the…

I have been here for over a year. I am down 30 pounds since I started. 40 pounds overall. I want to lose about 20 more but my doctor would rather I lose 35 more. But lately my motivation has been gone. I don't know how to get it back. I figured a group challenge would help me get back in the swing of things.

I will start tomorrow with you. I have done it before but only made it 13 days. I got discouraged because I started gaining weight.

Like I said I haven't done research on it but if staying away from it can help keep me away from a seizure I think I will just eat real sugar. If you want to have a diet soda or anything else that contains aspartame go for it. That is your choice.

I haven't done a lot of research on this but my Neurologist told me absolutely no aspartame. It is possible that it is in fact damaging in some way.

Do this for you...the weight loss, the photo shoot and everything else...NOT for your ex. You may think it will make you feel better but it won't. It may also bring you unwanted attention from him. After all you are going to be smokin hot right? Save the pictures for someone who is worthy. An ex is never worthy.

Technically I have 6 but two have been covered up so I only have 4. My first one was a P on my hand when I was 15. My high school nickname was Puffs so of course my 15 year old self thought the P was a great idea. When I was 16 my mom took me to have it covered up with a rose. My next tattoo was of two doves holding a…

This sounds interesting but I don't think I could run it. I could walk it.

I have 2 cats. They are sisters and I have had them for 5 years. Gizmo is a long hair calico. I rarely see her. She hides ALL THE TIME. Most of my friends have never seen her. It is odd though because when we first got her she was such a needy kitten. She had to be right on top of someone all the time. The only annoying…

I honestly don't think there is anything that will get rid of them. Some people swear by cocoa butter...didn't work for me. I have 3 kids so my stomach is terrible. They do fade with time. My youngest is almost 11 so they are all pretty much white now. But I have noticed with the more weight I lose that some of them are…

I still feel my hip bones daily because I just can't believe they are there.

My boyfriend used one for 30 days then went back to smoking. But it is all about your will power. I quit cold turkey 4 years ago. That was the best approach for me. I couldn't wean myself off like some people can do. If you really want to quit you will. Just don't give up. :)

I used Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred video for 3 weeks and I was gaining weight. I know deep down that it was probably muscle weight but I was so upset that I quit the video. But now I am thinking about starting up again.

Perfect answer. I don't believe any of the gimmicks. IF you do lose weight using one of these scams it comes right back.

LOL! I love it!!

I am going to try this. I only drink water so to have a way to "spice" it up will be nice.
