Whoops, forgot my show comments! The white team looked so panicked to go to Vegas! It's nice to know that you can make decent choices while on vacation if you're focused. It's all about being mindful. It makes me want to go back to Vegas though!

We redid our laundry room this week, so I was going up and down the stairs putting all our tools/painting stuff away in the basement during the breaks. Also tried out the new machines! Edit: Clarified

I've dropped cereal for breakfast and swapped it for a fruit and veggie smoothie. I was in the habit for a while but then the Apple Cinnamon Cheerios called me... The smoothie gets a lot of nutrients in, even if I don't get a lot in later in the day!

I was sad to see Mike go! I really liked him. The temptation was brutal. I would have wanted everything! Glad to see so many of them not eat (and one even did burpees!) Next week's challenge looks really good. They won't want to lose that! I got some dishes and laundry done!

I try to keep my online presence somewhat anonymous, so I won't share my personal FB page, but I do follow a few great blogs! skinnytaste.com and organizeyourselfskinny.com are great ones. Organizeyourselfskinny is also on Instagram and has a lot of useful info and tips!

I did the 30 Day Shred and then Ripped in 30. I lost about 5 lbs with each program and started seeing a difference about halfway through. I have some of her other DVDs and plan to rotate through them, but might do the Ripped in 30 program again since it worked so well.

Fill up on veggies and salad first then there won't be as much room on your plate for the more calorie dense foods. Don't go back for seconds. Have a small dessert but don't skip it!

I second skinnytaste.com. I found it recently and hope to try out a lot of the recipes. Made one tonight and it was awesome!

To be honest, I don't know what that would burn. I just know that MFP overestimates so I change my own exercise logs to about 2/3 of what it suggests. Wasn't sure where you were getting your numbers so I thought I'd throw that out there. Someone else may be able to shed light on actual numbers.

Agree with this. Are you sure you're burning 600-700 calories per workout? Where does that number come from because MFP's calorie burns are notoriously high which would increase the site's goal for you. The calculation often needs tweaking to get an appropriate calorie goal for your weight loss/maintenance goal.

1/2 cup frozen berries 1/2 cup milk 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 2 celery stalks 1/4 cucumber 1-2 cups spinach Gross colour but the fruit and vanilla flavours outweigh the veggies! I sometimes add Greek yogurt, too.

I've been using Jillian Michaels' DVDs as well. First did the 30 Day Shred and then Ripped in 30. Now that I'm done those programs, I am using Shred It with Weights and Extreme Shed and Shred. They are all interval workouts and you don't need super heavy weights (I have a 5 lb and 10 lb set). I'm seeing great results and…

Way to be committed to finishing! :) After all your hard work, you're entitled to a guilt-free break! Good luck when you get back!

If you develop healthy habits now, it will be much easier to have a healthy pregnancy and pass on those habits to your kids. I just had my first and am trying to lose the weight so I can keep up with him once he's on the move. I'm trying to get as much nutrition as I can to pass to him through breastfeeding. I still have…

I don't have a gym membership anymore, but when I did I watched some videos and had a training session (paid) to figure out the proper form. I think that's the most important part. If you do something wrong and hurt yourself, you might not want/be able to go back. I also found that some of the regulars would be very…

Congrats! My son is 4 months and I'm around my pre-pregnancy weight but want to lose another 10. Add me if you like :flowerforyou:

I weighed in at 145.7 this morning! Even with my terrible days I lost just over seven pounds this month! I'm right around my pre-pregnancy weight so I'm sure the weight will be harder to lose now. I still want to lose another 10 if I can!

:love: Amazing! I just finished Week 4 Day 6 and am done!!

Day 5 is done. Planning to do Day 6 tomorrow and then call it done! Who's still out there with me??

Wow did I ever blow it. The past few days have been TERRIBLE. I binged like crazy and put on so many pounds. I skipped my workout the last two days, so now I won't finish on schedule (although I WILL finish). I don't know what happened, but I'm so pissed at myself. Just have to move forward I guess! I did Day 4 today and…

Nicely done!

Day 3 is done! The end is in sight...

Omg I made these yesterday. They are pretty easy and soooo good.

I found the same thing! There are a few moves in RI30 that are also in 30DS and I'm much better at them this time around. It's great to see progress like that!

Nice progress! I did Day 2 today. Unfortunately yesterday I didn't get a chance to fit it in. I think baby is teething so he was really clingy and wouldn't let me put him down long enough to do it. I got it out of the way early today though (thanks to my husband taking baby for a walk). Anyone else finding the cardio…

Sounds tasty! Will have to try

Great job! Those results are better than anything the scale will say. I'm back in my skinny jeans too! :drinker:

I would do moderate since you're running around all day. Try that for a while and reassess after a few weeks to see if it's working for you.

Did 45 mins of Yoga X this morning. I only did the flowing moves. I might do the second half (balance poses) later if I have time. The weather is crummy here so I don't know if I'll get out for my walk. At least it's something!
