I also looked at your profile pics--- WOW! You have done an awesome job so far! High five!

. I am also on week 5. I finished day 2 with the 2 8 minute runs. I was also doubting myself, but it went real smoothly and could not believe I did it! You can too! I do my running on M, W, and F. I do Jillian Michaels on the other days to strengthen my core so I can run more comfortably. Good luck to you!

. Yep-- that is me too!

That is just plain awesome! High five! :smile:

Thank you for being so honest with your answer. My niece has been struggling with the same issues as you. She is currently doing the Remicade and her GI has suggested surgery. She is giving the Remicade and some kind of other medicine another try first. I will pass on your remarks to her. She is 41, by the way. I too have…

Will this improve your life? This helps me make the right choices with food and exercise.

Finished week 3 / day 1! I had no idea I could do a 3 minute run! Yeah, it was slow, but I did it! :smile:

Same here

A huge yay for you!:smile:

Did my exercise this morning, then logged all my meals for the day.

I was told not too long ago: What is taking so long losing your weight? I lost 46 pounds in 3 months! When I responded that I am slowly doing this reducing so it will last-- I was told-- well, it was so easy for me!

Finished 30 day shred and today I did the first day of ripped in 30. My final results from 30 day shred: Bust: -1.5 inches Waist: -2.75 Abdomen: -1/2 Hips: -1/2 Thighs: - 1 inch on each one Upper arms: - 1/2 inch on each one

I lost inches by doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. However, I am 5'10 and have lost 19 pounds, but have not gone down in pants size yet. Probably because my current size was soooo tight on me to start with! :)

I am really going to kick it in high gear today--1 more pound to hit 20!

What is power 90?

Beets, brussle sprouts, and peas are just plain gross- hate the way they squish in my teeth!

that's mine too!

I am 5"10 and I order my pants from the Old Navy website where I can get them in long and the "dreamer" jeans fit wonderful. And they are not expensive jeans. Also, you can get more dressier and more expensive jeans at Long Elegant Legs. Nice fit also. Hope this helps you. :smile:

Oh, by the way, how did your appt, go? No more Prednisone? Are in in remission right now?

That is just so awesome! I really DO know hard it is to lose weight when one has has UC. It has taken me since October to lose 18 pounds!! So I think your 25 pounds lost if just plain fabulous!!

I did the shred with bad knees and ibuprofen helped me a lot. And actually, I really believe the shred made my knees stronger. Just be mindful of jumping jacks and the other exercises that require you to come down hard on your knees. You can always do other cardio like running in place.

I have sent you a friend request. Wow, there are so many great ideas and responses. You have come to the right place for great moral support! :smile:

I am on level 2/day 4. Am getting used to the planks now. Each level does get easier the more days you do it. I use 6 pound weights and feel a lot stronger now.

What a wonderful year of self discovery you had! Congratulations on turning your life around!

Such a motivating comment! Good luck to,you on your journey! :smokin:

Fun!

Congratulations! You look absolutely wonderful!
