I'm so sorry ladies. No one really posted and I stopped checking. I did HMR and was very successful. Jan 2015 I started the "at home" version of the plan. Goal reached Oct/Nov last year. I've gotten a little sloppy with my monitoring (too much indulgence with socializing) so I'm back on track. I need to lose the 15 I've…

How's everyone doing on this board? I'm 51. January 9 I started my journey for the fourth and final time. I am 5 1.5" to 5 2" and started with a weight of 198. I am at 151.8 now. My goal is to be a healthy BMI so I'd like to shoot for about 128-130. Healthy Diet (fruits, vegetables, avoiding junk and portion control) and…

I had that occur in the past but attribute it to not getting enough nutrients. I started taking Country Life Maxi Hair Maximized (got it through the vitamin shoppe) along with some good multi-vitamins and calcium. I'm currently losing well through the HMR Healthy Choices diet (still taking the vitamins). Hair loss is not a…

Yes! Although it is not really a "meal replacement" shake. 15 years ago I did slim fast and lost 60 lbs. gained most of it back and retried but was not successful; I was always hungry. Jan 9 I began doing the HMR Healthy Choices at Home diet. I drink 3 shakes a day, eat 2 entrees and eat at least 5 servings of fruits and…

Great job! Despite following my plan I fell short this week; I did however lose .6. I won't complain since it is a loss! I started Jan 9 - first week lost 6lbs, 2nd week 1.8, last week 2.8 and this week .6 - that catches you up on me!

And Running Man is in workout 6! I thought I was done with him!!! Cardio 2 kicked my posterior end this morning! I brought my husband coffee this morning after the workout; he looked at me with an inquisitive grin on his face and said, "good workout?" LOL I also now have 3, 5 and 8 lb weights since she often says, "medium…

I completed 30DS and RI30 and have one more workout and I will have completed phase I of BR. Monday I will start Phase II (month 2). I have definitely gotten stronger and toner but I do have a long way to go. I've lost 28lbs so far and do limit my calories to 1200-1400 most days. I remember when I started 30DS I thought I…

Congrats! This is very inspirational and thank you for the courage to share. I feel the same way, this app has helped change my life, as well as fitbit and Jillian Michaels workout DVDs. I have a long way to go, but I'm feeling great. A problem I'm having is losing hair now. I'm changing my vitamins to try and help lessen…

Running man, I do not like you. I have to close my eyes and endure you. I do it because Jillian says for me to.

Great job! Keep it up! I'm loving JMBR; almost finished with week 3 and I'm still sore. Isn't it great when you feel stronger!?! I think I might get a heavier weight for certain moves!

Just started BR yesterday...anyone have suggestions for which board to use?

I just finished week 4! I moved up on my weights on a couple of moves. My first workout with my new shoes - I ended up taking the Ryka Ambition shoes back; they were too small and caused a blister on my foot. I do love the cushion on them, but went with Ryka Capture cross trainers due to the tread. Glad I did; the burpees…

DSAlbert: Great non-scale victory (NSV)...What I remember of level three was that I began to sweat pretty quickly. The warm up was a workout in itself, if I recall correctly. I had much trepidation with that but completed it with confidence! :-) Good luck!

dshalbert : I've been doing 5x week, 2 days of rest. There are some things that I do at lower level. My ab hold doesn't get much height, but I feel it. Maybe when my derier is smaller I'll get more height! I'm not flat on my hands right now, but using my fingers to lift.

Well, I contacted Ryka and they said I could send the shoes in; they will make a determination if I receive any kind of refund. So, I decided to go with the Ryka shoes again. They are just so comfortable. I start RI30 Week 4 tomorrow! I'll let you know if I move to Body Revolution next. I'm really leaning towards it. I do…

I had to take a break after week 2 due to my daughter's wedding, guests and a family emergency. After my 2-3 week break I started back with week one. Glad I did it that way!

Almost done with week 3. I've been sore most of the week and I'm doing low impact for the most part. One I just cannot do are those plank push ups...so instead of wasting my time trying unsuccessfully for the circuit, I instead do oblique crunches. I'm kind of excited for week 4! I'd like to try body revolution when…

I just finished day 2 of level 1. (after I completed the 30Ds). I know I'm stronger, but still have so much more strength to build. I love her inspiration - transformation is happening now. she stresses focusing on proper form right now so that's what I'm doing. After reading people's opinions of week 3 I've got some…

I work at 7:30 so I exercise at home. Occassionally I go to the gym for Turbokick (LOVE IT) in the evening. When I first started in June I just walked 30 mins outside. As the weather became more hot and humid, I moved to walking on my treadmill in my exercise room. Then, I started 30DS. Two weeks ago, I added walking after…

I'm on level 3; I finish Thursday with my 30 days. I feel stronger and have definitely lost inches. Weight-wise maybe 6 lbs? I'd have to look back. When I finish, I'll begin ripped in 30. Any other recommendations? I think maybe the second 30DS, then Body Revolution? This is something that is never going to stop; I have…

Congrats!

Nice!

thanks! I had a little NSV yesterday; my watch (which normally does not move on my wrist) had a slight movement ...the band is getting loser! :-)

what is an NSV?

Great info on this link!:smile:

Also, if you don't eat them back then you could put your body into starvation mode and cause your metabolism to slow down.

Nice reality check.

also - is it best to put the overall goal of weight loss in these programs? I thought I'd just make the goals in 10% increments. Silly?

thanks! so I should log driving time into the FB log from the dashboard? What about non-walking exercise like Zumba, turbo or bicycling? How do I make those adjustments. I love MFP and want to make that my main diary.
