I loved reading this! What a nice bonus to what sounds like an already excellent vacation :) Congratulations on your successes!

Ah! So happy to have found this thread right now... am currently feeling pretty "blah" because I ate 800 calories worth of popcorn today. POPCORN. Do you know how much popcorn you have to eat to get it up to 800 calories? It was "sweet and spicy" popcorn... but still. I should have just had an enormous bowl of ice cream.…

that bikini is SO CUTE! mind if i use it for my motivation too?! :) i would loooove to rock that in summer 2013....

Wow!! You guys look great! That's a ton of change in a short period of time, way to go!! :) I've been totally slacking. I don't even know what happened.... I was doing great, and then all of a sudden last Friday I just didn't do it. And then had a terrible weekend (workout wise). I did go to the gym yesterday, but no…

What was that? Did someone say Daniel Craig? :love: Hehe :) So excited for the new one to come out next month!

Just made my first spaghetti squash last night... it was GREAT, and my husband liked it too :) I love that this dish is basically all vegetables with a little cheese on top, but is still so filling and satisfying. 1 zucchini, 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper, and some garlic sauteed in a pan (I added some basil, oregano, salt,…

Ah sorry, it posted my reply twice and now won't let me delete this one.. oh well..

Me!! I'm feeling frustrated by the scale, too. I've only lost half a pound over the last two weeks. I've been exercising very consistently (30DS + 30 min of cardio, 5-6 times a week) and been eating within my calorie range (MFP set me at 1370) every day with a few exceptions on weekends. I'm really confused. I couldn't…

I do mine in the little space between my coffee table and my kitchen counter haha... hooray for apartment living! (I'm sure the people who live below me just LOVE all my jumping around, too...)
-
Oh my god, yes... those V raises KILLED me. Level 3 has a couple that are really killer... the worst for me are the jumping lunges. Or maybe the travelling push ups. Oh, and the scissor crunches. Ha. Actually, I've been doing Level 3 for about a week now and it's definitely easier than when I started!! I'm still doing a…

I'm near the end of the 30DS... I love it :) I've lost about 4 pounds this month (about on par with my 1 pound a week goal), and am definitely stronger and can see a difference in my body shape. I'd probably look more toned too if I had less fat covering up my muscles, haha :) I definitely recommend it, especially for…

I had similar problems when I was younger. My gynecologist prescribed me a painkiller pill that I took at my TOM. It was stronger than any over the counters. It made life so much easier. When I started taking birth control, my cramps became tolerable, so I stopped taking the pain killer. However, if you want an option that…

"If it's meant to be, it'll happen!" Ugh.

I'm on level three! It is SO hard.... but I still like it so much more than level 3. I felt like level 2 is challenging but boring.... level 3 is super hard but I think the moves are more fun to do and it goes by so much faster! That being said, I am DYING by the end of it haha. I feel like I am more motivated to do Level…

I know that feeling. I joined a gym with a TV on every exercise machine, so I can watch whatever I want while I work out. It keeps me distracted so I don't think too much about how much pain I'm in (haha). We got rid of cable in our apartment, so if I want to watch my favorite shows, guess where I have to go? It just makes…
-
Cracking up. Hahaha! The neck ache actually happened to me too.... it stopped when my abs got stronger and I wasn't trying to use my neck instead of my non-existent ab muscles.
-
AWESOME!! It looks like you lost way more than 8 pounds, if you ask me! You must be so proud of yourself :) I just started week 3 of 30DS and I'm loving it... I hope my results look like yours in the end!
-
This!! I cut those small red potatoes into halves or fourths, throw them onto a baking sheet with some baby carrots, toss with some olive oil and rosemary/thyme/salt/pepper, put the oven at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. DE-LISH. Yummy with some condiments like sour cream or BBQ sauce, just don't forget to log the condiments…

I'm down! I have Ripped in 30 (which is my vote!) and I also have 6 Week 6 Pack. I've tried them both, but haven't done either consistently, so I'd love to do it with you guys :) Question: Have any of you ever heard of "The Butt Bible" DVDs? Ridiculous name... but looks like a good workout lol. I've seen some other MFP…
-
First, sorry about the bug... seems like a lot of people are getting sick this week! Hope you feel better soon!! Which of Jillian's ab moves are you doing at the gym? I like that idea... I sometimes feel like I don't get enough ab work in during the 30DS. Although, I will say that the ab stuff is a LOT harder in level 3…
-
Your waist is definitely more defined! Congrats on finishing RI30... I'm going to move on to that when I finish 30DS next week!
-
Congratulations! I love reading about people's great doctors' visits... always brings a smile to my face :) My mini-milestone: Carried 6 bags of groceries up 3 flights of stairs to my apartment... and it didn't even phase me. Crazy!
-
ME! CW: 155 GW: 145 I think this should be enough weight loss for me to fit back into my skinny jeans... which would be the BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!
-
At the risk of sounding like an over-achiever... I was sick of Level 2 so I impulsively moved up to Level 3 yesterday! Oh. My. Gosh. SO HARD, but wayyyy more fun than Level 2! There's a couple of really crazy moves, but I think the 20 minutes goes by so fast. I had to stick to the beginner versions for a lot of things and…

I'm in week 3 of 30DS! I've been pairing it with 30 minutes of cardio (running/walking/elliptical/arc trainer). I can definitely tell a difference in my body. I haven't lost many pounds, but I didn't have a lot of muscle to start with so I'm probably gaining muscle as I go (much needed!).
-
440 calories for an Asiago bagel with reduced fat veggie cream cheese from Panera. Womp, womp. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by that... it IS basically bread and cheese, after all.
-
And because adding some exercise/building some lean muscle means you'll look better naked in the end! :smile: Hehe.
-
I'm sorry that your college experience isn't what you were expecting it to be :( Give it more time. You haven't been there long enough to find your "niche" yet, or probably even a close set of friends... but you definitely won't find them sitting alone in your room, eating! Get out there and go to a party/go to a club…

An apple with peanut butter! My absolute favorite :)

Way to go!!!! Awesome job jumping back into it after 6 days off... that's amazing! :) I'm hangin' in there... even brought the DVD on a trip with me this weekend, haha. Managed to squeeze it in Friday and Saturday... missed yesterday though. I am kinda getting sick of Level 2 too and am excited to move on to Level 3. Might…
