day 4 level 1 completed. I am getting better at the running man, but fast feet still makes my shins hurt!

Completed Level 1 days 3 this morning. I NEVER work out in the morning, so this was big for me. I have a full evening with rehearsal, so I didn't want to be doing it after 10pm tonight. I feel like Jello. I think I breeze through most of it with the exception of quick feet and the running man thing and the ab workout where…

10/19 Wednesday Question of the Day: Do you cut off your eating at a certain time of night? Do you find that if you do, you lose more weight, or that it doesn't matter? Ok, I am terrible at this one. My husband always says," I am not eating after 6pm" which I feel is totally unrealistic, and there is no way I am done…

Hang in there. Having had to put my two cats down (2 years apart) both for cancer, just about did me in. I had both of them over 10 years and they were my babies. My heart aches for you!

How did you determine your calories? Level 1 day 2 in the bag! Worst part for me, the fast feet and the abs in the first set... SO far knees are holding out OK!

I would love to know as well!

QOTD Tuesday: Are you a person who naturally eats small meals throughout the day or do you prefer a couple larger meals (and maybe a smaller meal or a snack)? Are you changing your eating habits as part of your attempts to lose weight? Before this past year, I did not eat breakfast (scared to waste the calories and always…

Thanks! Day1 level 1 complete!

FIRST OFF: WOW and Congratulations to the BLUE TEAM for snagging the win this week and such a huge win!!!! Congratulations to my Partner for being one of the big winners this past week. I made some major changes in what I'm doing this week and hope I see the results. I've plateaud for so long I had to do something! QOTD…

Hi everyone, i'm Steph. I just failed miserably at the 30 day shred, not that i didn't get to level 3, I was just inconsistent with my follow through, so I am going to better this time. I have a knee problem that flared up and set me back, so i will be doing the modified steps when it comes to things that stress my knee,…

Sunday 10/16/2011 QOTD......Stop nitpicking! When you pick your flaws apart with all the intensity of a brain surgeon, you only increase your anxiety at not being perfect. Try to see your body as a whole and concentrate on what you LOVE about yourself. Name three things that you LOVE about your body and embrace it!! 1. My…

Saturday (a day late) October 15 QOTD: When you get to your goal weight (and money was no problem) would you consider having any plastic surgery? Yes and I did. For me it was time to put my very deflated boobs back into a place where they should be. After losing over 100pounds two times, gravity has not been kind. I am…

Well I just realized that I can really workout to anything by David Guetta or Far East Movement. Love their tunes!

QOTD Thursday - Just posting a fun question for the day. If you woke up with a million dollars in your bank account tomorrow. What would be the first thing you do with the money? Pay off my house and car and book my trip away for a couple of weeks with my dear husband. Then I would help my son get a new car. lastly, I…

Ok, SO I haven't posted, but I am still here. Tonight was my last night on level 2, so tomorrow I will attempt level 3 until next wednesday where I am starting the ripped in 30 days....Good job everyone.

Awesome job on the week two losses. I feel like I am letting my team down. I am close to my goal weight and it just is not coming off like it did before. I heard stories about those last 10 pounds being the hardest, and now I believe them. Thanks Blue team for hanging in there with me. When I finally get past this plateau,…

QOTD Oct. 10, 2011: What is your self talk like (ie. critical, supportive, enabling, happy, etc.)? Are you aware of your self talk? If it's negative, what are you doing to change it? I am trying very hard to talk to myself in nice terms. I have always been very critical and unkind to myself. Learning a new behavior is…

QOTD 10/9/11 Sunday: Are you an emotional eater? What feelings get you to that place? What is your strategy for overcoming emotional eating? Yes I am an emotional eater. Being bored or wrestless get me there. When I am very tired and overwhelmed, I go there too. THe first step is to recognize that I am trying to fix a…

Everyone on here is so awesome. I am way behind. Completed level 2 day 3, having an issue with my knee, so decided to start doing the low impact plank jacks and plank thrusts. otherwise the rest doesn't bother them.

QOTD 10/8/11 Saturday: Is there any speific body part you're looking forward to "re-discovering" or discovering for the first time as you reach your weight loss goals? I love this question. I remember after losing the first 100 pounds, I could feel my Xyphoid process (sp?) it protruded out and I thought I had a growth or…

I would like to start with you all. I wont be finished with the 30 Day Shred till Oct 20th, do you think it's crazy to double up for the first 3 days? Other than that Im traveling for three days to Vegas, but I bet I can track the steps and do it at the Hotel Gym without the DVD. What do you think?

We'll go one step further...shoot them both in the knee then call the authorities...

WOW, Such a difference! That is awesome!

I am always cheering on my Seattle Seahawks, but I also cheer on New Orleans and Green Bay (fantasy football reasons). For party snacks, I like to make black bean dip with pita chips. But I always have fresh veggies and fruit. I use the Walden Farms Bacon Ranch dressing for a dip because it has no calories.... :)

I like the Jay Robb stuff because it tastes good and mixes well.

QOTD 10/7/11 Friday: Do you allow yourself to have a "cheat" meal or "cheat" day once a week, where you allow yourself to eat whatever you want? Why or why not? Let me begin by saying I dislike that word "cheat", because it implies that I am doing something I know is wrong or being sneaky. Since this is a lifestyle, not a…

Ok, after having to work two very long shifts back to back, I was able to get back on track today. Completed Day two level two. it was definately easier. I think my hardest part with this level is the V arm raises....Killer!

QOTD 10/6/11 Thursday: What is your workout routine? Do you always do the same thing? Do you mix it up? What kind of music is on your iPod (if you use one)? I don't have a real routine. I'm doing the 30 day shred right now. When I go to the Gym, at least once a week, I either do a zumba class or do the elliptical/treadmill…

QOTD 10/5/11 Wednesday - What do you think was the biggest factor in your weight gain? What do you think is the biggest factor in your successfuly weight loss? The main reason I gained weight was a huge change to my lifestyle from being very active, to no activity after I became a mom and started taking care of my husband…
