I know, I definitely feel weird not doing anything...well cleaning house, I guess, haha!

Lol, thanks :) I felt like I was doing everything in proper form-now I'm wondering if I pulled on my neck during the crunches-I know you are not supposed to, but that would be where I believe I may have lost my form. I'll rest for a bit, and then get back to it :)

Amazing! Congratulations on your hard work!

I just started the shred (on hold now, due to a pulled neck muscle) recently, and was Very sore for the first few days; second day in though, I did the treadmill afterwards, and it really wasn't too bad. Actually felt good to get my muscles moving again. I was doing the 30 day shred mid-morning, and then hitting the…

I'm bummed that I'll have to start over-I strained the same muscle in my neck, that I pulled from P90X; this time I don't know how I pulled it, unless I just didn't give it time to heal. Had to go to a different Chiropractor since mine wasn't in the office on Saturday. He said to take it easy for awhile, and it would…

This sounds delicious! Definitely going to try, thank you for sharing!

I much prefer the taste of our tap water, over many of the bottled waters, lol! I get ours out of our fridge, which has a filter that does not get changed as often as it should...still tastes good though. Taste wise, I'm a recovering Mt. Dew addict, but if you have been off of them for that long, why chance it? :)

I just bought the Polar FT7 today also :) Haven't tried it out yet, but judging by the amount of calories I've gone over today, I'm getting ready to head down to the treadmill. Sadly have to stop my 30 day shred until my neck heals.

L1D5 completed, whew! I'm struggling with push-ups, and jump rope-part way through I have to stop for a second and grab my calves/thighs, lol! I don't mind Jillian (yet!) but have you noticed, when you are doing the punches, you can kind of "aim" at her on the screen? :) I was soo sore the first few days, in my…

Welcome! I'm pretty new here also- and a mom of 4 too-I know how difficult it can be! Until finding MFP, I have always quit or given up on eating healthy and exercising. This is such a great community, with so much to offer; enjoy it here! :)

Very true! :) I made it through L1D2 today-and I'm actually looking foward to continuing for the next 28 days!

I just completed L1D1 of 30 Day Shred. Wow...I'm sore already! Not looking forward to the pain tomorrow, but will work through it.

Lol! I'm a stay at home mom too-right now it works for me, because my husband can watch my 19 month old while I'm on the treadmill, otherwise I wait until they go to sleep-I am Not a morning person, so I'd rather stay up later and exercise.

Mmm, sounds yummy!

Cool, thanks everyone-for some reason, I was drawing a blank on broth-doh! I have some Swansons veggie broth in the fridge, but I'm hoping I have some chicken broth in the cupboard. Like I said, I really enjoy the wild rice combos I've had, but definitely not plain, :)

Wow, you look beautiful!! And a big congrats to your hubby!

I've always eaten cottage cheese with a little salt, and a lot of pepper. Sometimes accompanied with a tomato, and green beans-yum! I was never a "sweet cottage cheese" eater, I fairly recently made faces at my father in law for pouring sugar, or maple syrup on his at dinner, lol! I just now went and dished up a serving of…

Yum! I've been craving fruits-mango's peaches, strawberries. Can't *wait* for watermelon to come in season! Spinach Banana and peanut butter-all in moderation :) The best for me right now, I'm *Not* craving Mountain Dew anymore! I still have two in the fridge, and both my husband and I have left them alone :)

I just picked up some PB2 chocolate from a local grocery store-there is a spot on the website, for a store finder, if you want to try and avoid online ordering-sometimes not always possible I know. The store that had it here (HyVee) was only showing 1 store carrying it, and there are 6 or 7 HyVee's in Sioux Falls.

Awesome, congratulations! Very inspiring, I was just a bit over your weight when I started, but I'm also 3" shorter, lol! Your pics are still motivating though!

I'm a confessed chocoholic, and definitely will *not* give it up! :) I just bought the WW Dark Chocolate Rasberry bars-excellent dark choc. taste, and only 80 calories per bar-a serving is considered 2, but one was enough for me. I love some of these other ideas though, thanks everyone!

Wow, you look absolutely amazing! I'm in the same group of thinking your before pics were your success pics, but...wow!

This sounds really good! I should add, I"m still experimenting/getting used to, brown rice. I made some the other day that turned out mushy-yuck. If I don't like it, I know the rest of my family won't. I haven't gotten my husband or boys switched over to rice, from potatoes yet, so when I do make it, I'm the only one…

I think we're staying home-with 4 kids, there aren't many parties that welcome them, lol! In past years, we've had friends over, or gone to my sister in laws house, but they are sick this year, and I'm just not in the mood to host, so I think it's going to be a relaxing evening of watching commercials (neither of us are…

I just had one last night; a little bit of Smart Balance spread, brown sugar (had Splenda brown sugar, not sure why I used the regular!) and cinnamon. I know the sugar isn't the *best* but I didn't dump it on, and I've been really good lately, so I figure a little bit is okay.

I just picked some up at HyVee the other day-I did the store locator on Bell Plantations site, and even though we have 6, (or 7?) HyVee's in town, it only brought up one-of course I had to go to that one, lol! I really liked it; I bought the chocolate kind, and had to mix some up right away when I got home to try. Yum!

I listen to a Wide genre of music, lol! What played today while I was on the treadmill: Take it Off-Kesha Just a Dream-Nelly Evacuate the Dance Floor-Cascada Dj Got us Fallin' in Love-Usher Airplanes-BoB Gimme Shelter-Rolling Stones Dynamite-Taio Cruz Urgent-Foreigner

I just pulled a muscle in my neck this week too-my fault for doing a certain lift, with too much weights. I haven't been to a chiropractor (and, not sure how you feel about them..) since I was pregnant with my 9 year old, but I had to go this time-it was severe. It actually did help, and of course, he gave me a list of…

Thank you Jane :) I've been to the gym; several years ago-I think I've retained some of the info, but I am always learning-I hope I'm doing it properly so that I get the proper affect, and don't cause injury. Mainly though, I'm taking it slow and doing what I can.

I'm an "In the Process" addict lol! I have been hooked on Mountain Dew for several years-2 to 3 a day sometimes. I'm fine with sweet tea (Splenda) and I've just discovered the little Crystal Light packets-still leary about the artificial sweeteners in that... and now that I'm actually "moving" and working out, water is…
