I'm happy to say that I didn't crap out last night after a long day, and instead forced myself to do day 4 level 1 at midnight last night. Felt great waking up this morning knowing that I hadn't already skipped a day. & even after a long day, I *was* able to get through the entire video without cutting any part of it…

Oh man. I must say some of your comments really have me worried about what level 2 has to offer. I'm doing day 4 level 1 tomorrow, and I'm finally at the point where I know I can do the routine & talk myself through the hard parts. I'm afraid I'm going to be crying like a baby come level 2...

I'm sad to say today was my first skip day. Luckily not due to lack of motivation, but I got some business stuff done early, then did my first volunteer day at our local cat shelter, then grocery/business shopping, then home to unload, cook dinner & spent a few hours reorganizing our kitchen cabinets so they would be much…

Mmmm. My favorite holiday. We always have the staples: mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy. This year I believe I'll be making my second homemade pumpkin pie (from scratch), my first nut loaf, perhaps making a mix of red/sweet mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce and homemade "green bean gruel". We also usually have one…

Any interest in trying to put together a Richard Simmons group? I've honestly no idea how one goes about making a successful group, but I know my mother would probably enjoy having one (she loves "Sweating to the Oldies"), & if one was formed I'd probably join in as well.

Awww. thanks so much. She's actually been into the workout dvds longer than I have. She's been doing Richard Simmons & loves it, I'm not sure it's up my alley but I'm all about finally getting toned up, so if there is an interest in a group I'll certainly join in. I just found out about this site yesterday & told my mom…

I'm doing day 4 of level one tomorrow morning. So far I love the pace of it, but boy are a few parts kicking my butt.

How does one normally go about setting up a group like that? Do you wait until you have enough people? Does someone more experienced with the forum opt to run & manage it? I only joined yesterday so this is all very new to me. :)

Glad to see this question. I've been researching this for a few weeks and myself am leaning towards the 9cup or bigger Cuisinart or Kitchenaid (preferably with the smaller included bowl as well). I'm vegan, and would really like the ability to easily make my own larabars, or vegan "cheese"cake, or nut butters. I have a few…

What an interesting thing to ponder... - whole wheat flour - beans - lettuce - nuts - bananas - carrots - oranges - sweet potatoes - wild rice - asparagus

Shamefully, I'm a 3 pounder, and even those are killing my arms on level 1. :p

I live in Medford, previously from the Bay Area CA. I enjoy walking & hiking, especially in Oregon where there are some gorgeous areas right in our own area to get a nice walk in. In summer months, we try to get to the lake as often as possible for some great swims. Haven't gotten into much more than that, but hoping to…

Thanks for the input. I think I'll stick to the 10 days per level plan, if I am able. & wow to those of you using heavier weights. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm only at 3 pounds and I have to talk myself into those last 5 lifts on level 1. I think my arms must be the weakest part of me. I'm happy to report that I made…

Awww. A few of you have me dreading what level two has to offer. Question. How long did everyone stay on level one before they advanced? Just one week?

wow. you look amazing... though I think you looked great in the before shots as well. great work!

I actually just found 30 day shred about a month ago. Stumbled on it at the local library, and liked it so much I bought her 30 day shred, killer buns & thighs, & her frontside/backside beginners. My goal has never been to lose weight, but I'd like to regain the bum I had when I was in my early/mid twenties. I've never had…
