I kept one pair of pants that I wore when I was my heaviest. The rest I donated. I felt that keeping them "just in case" would be planning to gain the weight back, and I have no intention of doing that. I kept that one pair that I try on every now and then as a reminder of how much progress I've made. When I feel like the…

I started going grey at 17. My brother just started to go grey and he's 33...lucky bugger!

I'm back!! For the most part anyway. I still have to take it easy and not push myself too hard yet, but I have the go-ahead from the doctor to start working out again!! YAY!! I have to take it easy at first so it's going to be a few more days before I get back into doing Ripped in 30, but at least i can do my elliptical…

Your government. The terrible job market and economy isn't everywhere in the world.

^^This!! Kurt Cobain was an artist! I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and *kitten* out better song lyrics than this little puke.

My doctor told me that the body stops being addicted to nicotine after 48 hours. After that, it's up to us to keep from smoking because your body no longer craves it. ^^^This!!! You may feel like you're still craving it after 2 days, but you're likely craving the physical addiction of doing something with your hands, you…

Yes, it does suck. I stepped on the scale this morning and it's showing me a loss for the week, which isn't much of a surprise since the pills the doc gave me upset my stomach and I basically lost my appetite. But we'll see come Friday as that's my official weigh in day. A year ago, I never thought I would really care if I…

Hey everyone. Just checking in to let you know that I'm still alive! lol. My headache is much better, but need to get the muscle problems all worked out before I can get back into my workouts, so I've just been doing a bit of walking in the evenings.

Didn't get a workout in last night, I have a headache from hell! I went home at noon yesterday and thought I would just rest where it's quiet, I ended up sleeping for the whole afternoon! It's not as bad today but still there constantly so I'll see how I make out today.

Just checking in quick today as I'm not feeling too well. Woke up this morning with a killer head ache! Thought maybe I had slept funny as my neck was sore too, but now it's kind of moving into body aches, so I think I'll be heding home from work early. Did my workout last night and was really happy at how much I was able…

Yes, thanks! I plan on adding weight training 3 times a week but also keeping up with the cardio and planning to add more cardio as I get more fit.

Well I went home on Friday and made an attempt to do an ab hold with my feet against something, and it did help my muscles realize what they're supposed to do, but I don't think my body is ready to do an ab hold yet! lol. Nevermind going from ab hold bridge and back. I find that if I try that move, I am frustrated and can…

Thanks so much for the tips Sherry! I'm going to try that before my workout tonight. Yes, during the workout last night, I was thinking, "This would be way more effective if these moves weren't so hard", it's definitely NOT a beginner workout! The ab hold is really the only one that I could not do last night. Some of the…

You could ignore her and hope she stops, but I'm assuming you have tried this already. My one sister-in-law does things like this (although she lives 9 hours away so I don't have to deal with it often), but my first options is to use sarcasm! I would say "Oh thanks so much for noticing my healthy choices. It really…

Ok level 2 of RI 30 is definitely going to take some work! I may be spending more than a week on this one! When Jillian said in level one that things were going to get a bit crazy, she wasn't kidding! But she was referencing levels 3 and 4, not 2, so I'm kind of wondering what the hell I got myself into! lol There's side…

My goal for May is lose 5 pounds. I am also going to be adding strength training to my workouts once I get the weight set moved in.

Well I'm feeling a lot better today. I think I figured out why I've been so sluggish lately: I went through my diary and I have been taking in more sodium that usual. So I think I felt crappy because I'm holding on to a bunch of water. So yesterday I made sure to drink a lot more water and by late afternoon, I was already…

Did RI 30 last night. I don't know if it's this god-awful weather that we've been having, or what but I've been feeling pretty sluggish the last couple days. I missed my workout on Sunday and Monday, and I think that may have something to do with it. I did feel a bit better after my workout last night. I'm hoping that I…

Did RI 30 on Friday and Saturday, but got busy with housework on Sunday and lost track of time. Didn't leave time to squeeze in a workout so I guess that will be my rest day!

I don't think you're vain at all. It's your body, and it is your choice when you're ready to start trying to conceive. Talk it over with your SO, I'm sure when you explain how you feel, he will understand. The healthier and happier you are when you do get pregnant, the better for your little one! Good luck on both your…

Two secrets: 1) Be consistent 2) Be persistent If you want it bad enough, you'll stick with it. That's all there is to it!

Seriously???????????? :huh: :noway:

Oh Belgh to the snow! I'm thankful that we didn't get any here and I will now stop complaining about the rain! lol. Did RI 30 last night, muscles were pretty sore so I did a little extra on the warm up and that helped loosen them up. I'm not nearly as sore today, which is nice for the weekend. Hoping to get the house…

First of all, GREAT POST!!! My Why is: I'm tired of being fat! I'm tired of looking in the mirror and not being happy with what I see. I want to be able to wear what I want, and not what my "size" allows. I want to wear shorts in the summer and not be totally self-conscious the whole time. I want to be healthy and fit! I…

If I liked it, I'd leave it. If I was no longer happy with it, I'd see if I could get it retouched, or I'd get a cover up done.

Buy the size you are when you get measured for it! DO NOT BUY A SMALLER SIZE!!!! I know some people think, "Well, if I buy a smaller size, I have no choice but to lose the weight". Anyone I know who has tried this has failed, and failed miserably! They end up stressing out about losing weight rather than taking the time to…

Ok, now I want to make this along with the jalapeno potatoes!! Another one I can't wait to try Jim! Thanks!

You will want to tone at the same time as losing the fat on your arms otherwise you're gonna get "wings". 30 DS will not make you bulky, it will help you shed fat and tone your muscles at the same time. Doing anything for only 30 days will not make you bulky.

Congratulations on writing the most ignorant post here! All I need is your contact info and I will mail the hero cookie ASAP!
