Thanks for posting. It's a good reminder!

It's tough and this aspect gets easier as the child gets older. I ran into sleep issues when my daughter was that age as well. It can be very frustrating. What I figured out was that I cannot get to the gym - there's no time. I know others will disagree and say that I could make time for it "if I really wanted it." Yes, I…

I never drink diet soda. Instead, I drink sparkling water when I crave something bubbly. I've switched to organic, minimally processed foods... no synthetic chemicals - which is all diet soda seems to be. There are times (perhaps 1/year?) when I miss drinking diet soda. But, it doesn't last long. You can do this! You can…

Congratulations! You look great!

I don't think taking a defensive stance will server your larger goals. You will still need to work with him. Could you have a conversation with him where you bring it up a bit more casually? You seem to be worried that he will ask you to stop. But it seems rather unreasonable for an employer to deny an employee a lunch…

If there's nothing to fear, then why can't we just label the food? Plain and simple. Allow me to decide what I eat and feed my family. The food needs to be labelled.

Today's June 6th and I have completed 30DS level 1 each day! I'm still here with ya! I'm getting better at this too! Woohoo!

Hmmm.... thanks for posting this. I kept thinking that rest days wouldn't be so important since it's "only a 20 minute workout." But, I might consider tossing in a a few rest days. Thanks for posting.

Day 4... level 1 done! It was a bit easier than yesterday. Don't get me wrong, it's still hard for me. I'm grateful for the arm flies (?)... that section seems like a break. The arm raises with side lunges...killer! I've read that level 3 is ridiculously difficult... I'm a little scared. ;)

My disclaimer... I haven't looked at all of your details; I'm not a doctor; I'm not a sports trainer. But, it just makes sense to me that if you are hungry, your body is telling you it NEEDS food. This needs to be a lifestyle that you can live every day. You need to start listening to your body. If you *think* your body is…

I just read one of your posts... I up for going all 30 days. No rest days if I can!

I'm in! I actually decided to do the same thing. I'm getting the videos from YouTube. Today is 6/3 and so I've done level 1 3 days in a row. I'm rather sore! I don't know the entire program. Did you say 10 days at each level? Perhaps I will try that. I wasn't sure how I was going to proceed.

I couldn't get to the computer to update this, but I did it! I did 100 on May 31st! I completed the challenge. Fun!

I agree! It looks like you've lost lots more than 15 pounds. You look great!

Day 30: 97 done! Last day... still working on it! I know it's not over yet, but I know I'll get this done! I'm much better at push ups now. I'm going to keep going in June! Thanks for starting this challenge! :)

Day 23: 76 done! Day 24: 79 done! Day 25: 82 done! Day 26: 85 done! Day 27: 88 done! Day 28: 91 done! Day 29: 94 done! Still working on day 30! I haven't been keeping up on posting my status. But, I've been keeping up with the challenge! Seeing a bit of progress, too. :)

Day 22: 73 Done!

Day 21: 71 Done!

Day 19: 64 Done! Day 20: 67 Done! Woohoo!

I don't know if I have a real answer, but something I have noticed about myself is that I can be influenced without noticing it too much. So... I suggest that you don't watch food TV, don't watch any TV that shows food or people eating. Instead, if you do watch TV, watch shows where people are very active or working to get…

Day 17: 58 Done! Day 18: 61 Done! Working on day 19! :)

Day 16: 55 done!

Day 15, 52 done!

I suppose I should start by saying that I'm not a single parent. But, I still struggle with obtaining the balance, so I thought I'd chime in. I have a gym membership, but I personally cannot find the time to go to the gym. The extra 15 minutes it takes to drive there and change clothes is lost time. What's starting to work…

Day 14: 49 done! :)

I haven't been posting my updates everyday, but I've been getting my push ups done! Today is day 14. The number is 49! Haven't done them yet, but I will! This is a great challenge!

More info, please! :)

I've been thinking about this topic lately... not just regarding men, though. Although, I'm confident you hear this more than me (a woman). I'm really surprised by how it is "so MUCH more difficult" for others to lose weight. Seriously??? Everyone seems to have an excuse, a story, or some lame reason for why it's so much…

Day 9: 34 push ups done! Woohoo!
