Thank you so much for your reply! :) Okay, that is what I will try then. Enough weight to give resistance but where I can still keep good form which, like you mentioned, will probably vary depending on the particular move/exercise.

Bumping to read everyone's stories later! :) Hoping to get back to Insanity at beginning of next year.

Bump.

I don't know that I have it in me right now to do this schedule, but starting Monday I do plan on doing the 30 Day Shred all the way through. I normally give up on level 3, so interested to see how it goes after doing that month of Insanity (which ended several weeks back; I was too tired to go into month 2). I'm trying to…

Thank you everyone for all the great ideas!! Definitely gives me some things to try!! :)

I am done for now, and won't be trying again for a while! I have moved to Insanity which is going to take up quite a bit of time! Thank you for this group though because it really gave me some great new friends and wonderful motivation during this challenge! :) Have a marvelous day!! :)

I have to admit that I did give up after day 8 this time!! :( I have not been doing any exercise for the last week or so!! I think I might just be burned out on Jillian since I was already doing some of her stuff before I started this challenge originally. I am going to attempt (key word being attempt) Insanity this coming…

I agree!! It would be crazy to push your body to do week 3/4 after a week off!! The way I see it is we are going to get a little extra prep time for the end of this thing! :) I can use all the prep I can get! I just did day 8 today, so I am just on the 2nd week, so we aren't very far apart still! I really feel like this…

:( I'm so sorry that you have been sick during this!! It really does make it really hard especially with a program like this where you really need to do it everyday or else your body goes into shock the next time you do it! :) I'm sure you know what I mean!! Yes, definitely try again once you have completely recuperated!!…

I really think it was the best decision to start over!! :) I have now gone through days 1-6 (with rest day #7 being tomorrow), and I can feel that it has been working me a lot more (perhaps could even say better) than originally when I either skipped days completely or missed days then made them up with another days…

Okay, so since I skipped 2 workouts in my original days 1-10 and skipped 3-4 more workouts during my days 10-20, I decided to start over and keep to schedule in order to make sure I see the best results possible instead of continuing on with days 20-30 knowing I hadn't put my all into it (and that I would probably continue…

Sounds divine!! Will definitely have to try!! Thanks! :)

I did get in my workout on Monday and Thursday, but it didn't happen the rest of the week including today. I feel in order to be fair with myself and this program that I will just start again on Monday with Day 1 and progress forward (hopefully this time with no skipped days). I still feel that I have seen great changes in…

Anna, I'm so glad that you mentioned about the 'visualizing the muscles getting leaner' because I have wondered about that and find myself not doing it 98% of the time! :) I will definitely start doing that though. I think I will probably be sitting this week out for the most part because I am helping at our Vacation Bible…

Anna, I am the same way!! You should see my lunch today! Started normal with my BLT and veggies then ate another piece of bacon then ate half my daughter's sandwich!!! I felt like I just couldn't get full!! You are not alone on that! Day 12 Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism for me as well done today!! My arms are really feeling…

Round 1: Days 1-10 complete!! I did essentially miss both days of the Quick Trouble Zones though, but I am still just going to move forward. I plan on doing this whole program again once I complete this 30 days, so I make sure not to miss them next go around. I have to say that so far, the No More Trouble Zones has been…

anna_louise 90: I was a little late starting so today was only day 7 for me, but I did have a slight loss this week (and I did miss the No More Trouble Zones days; might try to make one up with tomorrow's workout). I have been eating back none to half of my exercise calories. If you are ending week 2, weeks 3 and 4 look a…

I would like to lose at least 5 lb and get more toned (especially get my tummy reduced some)! :) I have searched and not really found where anyone has shared their results from the 30 Day Slim Down. Does anyone else know of any success stories? They are always encouraging and motivating to me! :) Thanks!

I will be doing day 1 today, so I will finishing later than most! I still have about 24 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. Right now, I am more focused on the next 10 lbs which will then put me back into a healthy BMI! Hoping that this program for a month will put me closer! I have done all the videos in this program…

I agree with just walking or swimming since those are readily available to you. Netflix streaming no longer offers exercise videos (I was very upset when they discontinued this, but it has been unavailable for a while), but YouTube is a great resource for free workouts! YouTube even has some of Leslie Sansone's videos if…

I could always use the ideas as well! Thank you all! :)

This sounds amazing, and I will definitely be trying this! Also our first year planting Swiss Chard, and have had great success growing it! :) Needed additional ideas as well since we only could think to put it in salads. I like some of the other ideas such as the lasagna as well! Thank you for all your ideas!

I love having new meal and snack ideas!! :) Thank you!

I will definitely have to try these! Looks like a whole family treat!! :) Thank you!

Bumping because I am interested in low sodium soup options as well!

I love garlic as well, so I will definitely add that too!! Thank you for the recipe and the tip!! :)

I'm definitely going to have to try this!! I love sesame chicken, so I am glad to be able to have an easy way of doing it myself!! Do the leftovers reheat well?

Sounds delicious!! Thank you!! Can't wait to try it!

Going to try these soon! Thanks!

Bump!! Oh my, these are my absolute favorite when we would go out to eat Chinese or Thai food!! I would get one of everything else and 50 of crab rangoons!! And still want more!! (Good thing we haven't been in a long while, but I still crave them quite a bit!) Thank you so much for this recipe!! Excited to try it out!!…
