Good morning everyone. I've gotten my walk in today so i'm off to a good start. I'm starting to get bored with 30 day shred and dont' feel like doing it anymore, any ideas on what we can do to challenge ourselves when we get to this stage? I had some motivation this a.m. I decided to go through some pictures over the last…

This totally sounds like me with my water, I drink water through out the day but by the evening I still have a few cups to drink so I chug a lug... makes me PEE so bad before bed but I always do that to myself. :laugh: I keep teasing my hubby that we're pregnant because the past week after drinking 2x's my water i've been…

WAY TO GO! Just up your water intake during the day and I bet you'll see a difference. I can always tell if i'm retaining water by the way my watch & rings feel.

:bigsmile: I was 171 just a few days ago...that's what has me amazed. I did horrible all week to, with aunt flo then, the darn bbq last night. OH and did I mention the jack in the box & apple pie while my mom was here? AND the m&m's. I drank A LOT of water the last few days hoping to flush myself out with all the cr@p i've…

WHOOHOO Super excited even after family visits and my Opps last night at a bbq I CAN do this. I am officially out of the 170's which was my first…

oh I almost forgot. Some of the things I've done to overcome my eating at night habit. Granted I still give in every now and then, especially if the hubby is working nights but these have worked for me. I brush my teeth after dinner. who wants to brush them again? I'll drink water but nothing else after I brush. Also if I…

Thank you so much for the encouragment. This is why I just love this site so much!! I have good new to, I have so many milestones that I have overcome and I really am proud of myself :happy: Last night I was feeling pretty blue, so I got on the tredmil determined to get out of the negative in my calories by working out. I…

okay so someone seriously needs to sew my mouth shut. What is wrong with me? I did great today did my walk ate great, then came dinner time. At the very last minute we got invited to a BBQ and we went, no big deal. I told myself that I wasn't going to eat anything I had just enough calories to eat what I had at home. *end…

I'm still needing to find that happy medium of how many workout calores to eat vs. not to. For a long time I wasn't eating any and was not losing any weight. Now i'm eating all of them and still nothing :angry: Thanks for all your answers everyone, it's been very helpful to see where everyone else is at

I sprained my ankle my years ago and wasn't able to do much for weeks. Depending on the severity of your sprain, sometimes they can be worse then a break. I was in middle school when I sprained mine so being lazy on the couch sounded fabulous to me at the time. But if your really worried try doing things that doesn't…

I got my shoes through Road Runner http://www.roadrunnersports.com/ They were recommended to me by a friend of my husbands who's a marathon runner. They were amazing over the phone. I had been having problems with my shins and lower back plus my feet ached. So they had me find out what kind of arch I had (using a paper bag…

I found my dvd on amazon for about $10, free super saver shipping to. It has 3 levels you can work up to and it really is helping. I have noticed my stamina is much better, and even though i'm not seeing the scale moving an inch. Atleast the tape measure has been my friend. I haven't measured in almost a month but after…

I sware if I didn't know any better I would have thought I had posted this very message. :laugh: i'm having the same issues, and i'm the exact same weight LOL SOOO if I find anything that helps i'll let you know. I am getting very frustrated, 170 just seems to be my weak point. Just can't seem to get past it. Good luck to…

nolachick- I've been doing the 30 day shred although after vfisiting family I havent' done it in about 2 weeks. I also go on a 2 mile walk everyday sometimes twice a day depending on the weather. And I make it to the gym about 2x a week. Not as much as I like but I can't afford the child care they have all the time so I…

I can get them on but I had to do the wiggle jiggle jean dance ( you know what I mean!) okay keep laughin :laugh: I could almost barely kinda sorta button them but I'm far…

Lettuceb- I have never had butternut squash how does one eat/cook one of those? I'm trying to challenge myself in eating a vegetable once a week that I don't normally buy and that's on my list to try but I haven't a clue what to do with it? sunnyd30- keep it up. I've been fighting a cold all weekend and I had NO energy to…

Okay leave it to me but I just have to ask because the dreaded "time of the month" is fastly approuching. I am trying to pay really close attention to what I've eaten and everything like I should but how often do you gals experience a weight gain?? Usually I do even though I don't necessarily eat a ton of junk food I just…
-
I'm not sure if you've tried this before or not but measuring your food really helps a great deal. I keep my measuring spoons handy at every meal lately & I just bought a food scale. It might sound wierd but for a while I was eyeballing my portions and there was s big difference when I started measuring again. Keeps me…

AMAZING!! Keep it up, What an accomplishment you made! How exciting! :bigsmile:

Breakfast: 1/2c Old fashioned oats, 2 tbs raisans, 1/2 tbs peanut butter, cinnamon sprinkled on top w/ stevia Lunch: Homemade chicken noodle soup, 4 ritz crackers Dinner: NOT my usual hubby came home with pizza :sad: had 3 slices :grumble: :noway: :sad: Tomorrow is a new day

simple a marketing ploy. They just don't mention you could probably lose 20lbs if you were very overweight, I wasn't looking for a miracle. I wanted weight loss that will stay with me not a quick fix. I've been doing 30 day shred for 17 workouts and have lost over 4lbs. I am on a plateau tho so i'm trying to give my body a…

Welcome Just2bfit ! we just moved from Alaska so I completely feel your need for motivation. Hang in there and stick to it this is a great group to get motivation from. The winters are long but if you have a HRM you burn TONS of calories shoveling snow. I used to ask the neighbors if I could shovel their drive way to get…

i'm 5'5" and 170 so i'm sure I probably burn more then you just because i'm heavier :glasses:

I can't help you....I'm totally with ya! I felt under the weather today so I took a nap w/ my dd. Woke up to dh bringing home pizza for dinner. Bless his heart said he didn't want to add to the dirty dishes piling up because he has to work tonight. Ate my pizza....3 slices :grumble: and proceeded to add it to my food…

I agree. I liked the book about eating clean and eliminating some things out of your diet. Especially made me aware of what is hidden in foods that I never thought to look at before and my family and I are definately are healthier because of it. However, i'm not to sure about Jillian herself. was shocked to see all the…

well this is going to be different for every person but this is for me personally. I would invest in your own HRM, I love mine it's a polar F11. anyway, on level 1 of the 30 day shred I burn between 150-170 (somedays I wasn't as motivated) on level 2 i'm now burning around 230 give or take a few. hope that helps a little.

GREAT JOB!!! I'm hoping to hit the 6lbs mark today to...WISH ME LUCK! My weigh in is later today so I'm crossing my fingers I did good this week.
-
well said!! :bigsmile: I actually saved this in my email so I can read it from time to time. Will power is so very hard at first but after time it gets better. We can all do this if we put all our effort into it. Before I eat anything I ask myself truthfully if I AM hungry or am I eating because it's there. More times then…

Great to hear everyone had a good day. Count me in on that one! Woke up and took my 2mile walk earlier in the day to get it over with. It was chilly but well worth it it was so nice to get out there instead of sitting on the couch for a few hours before I get motivated :tongue: Came home did some chores around the house…
