I was super sensitive to the preservatives in these foods. I got a starter kit at Walmart right after New Years. One week in I stopped due to multiple migraine headaches.

Good Morning! I have done Jillian's 30 day shred before with great results. Just finished. Doing level 1 for the third time this morning:)

I just finished doing the level 2 work out! now sipping on my protein shake:) I have had really great results with the shred-the secret is simple-just do it every day as she recommends. Its my go to dvd when i need to firm up. Sorry about the injury-rest a few days, ice injury, and get back to it when you are ready!

This was true for me too! When I was nursing, I literally felt hungry/thirsty all the time and I didn't deprive myself, or monitor my intake what so ever. I didn't necessarily gain any more weight, but I didn't shed the last 15-20 lbs of it until I stopped nursing after 14 months. My body held on to the "maternal fat…

Are you nursing? I couldn't get the rest of my baby weight off until I weaned my son. I think it had something to do with maternal fat storage to produce milk...

Rachel-glad your massage was great! I want to have one of those. I go to the chiropractor occassionally to help get the kinks out, but I feel a massage works just as well for me. Hmmm, maybe I'll treat myself for Mother's Day... Had my glucose screening yesterday, glad to have that done and over with. Hope you all have a…

Good Morning Ladies! What is the exercise challenge? It sounds like exercising 4 times per week from what I have read, count me in. I need to stay moving. I know that this will help keep my weight in check and make the baby weight come off a little faster too. I finally feel good enough to start moving more, and we are…

Littlespy: Love the nursery, so crafty. That rocking chair looks super comfy too! I think I am going to go and watch Water for Elephants next weekend-I am craving movie theater popcorn! I know not the most healthy, but it sounds really good!!

I read Water for Elephants too, and am excited to see the movie! Just need to find a sitter so we can go. You'll have to post if it was as good as the book!

Has anyone had the flu during pregnancy. I meant to get a flu shot, but I always had a little bit of a cold, so never got one. Now, I am miserable. I have been sick since last Wednesday with what I thought was a bad a head cold. By Saturday I thought I was better. Then Sunday, coughing so hard that I was throwing up. Went…

Hi All! I am new to this thread. I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second little one. Doing good so far, haven't gained too much, and finally over the frequent migraines!!

ALWAYS BEWARE of MUFFINS-the apple struddle ones from Costco have 900+ calories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

keep up the great work, everyone looks amazing!

avoid high sodium foods so that you don't gain excess water weight. 3 lbs probably won't make much difference in the way you look to others...

bumpn for my topics! thanks!

I just log it under circuit training.

I use between 3 and 5 pound weights while doing the Shred, just depends on the exercise, how I am feeling that day, or how sore I am from the day before-on the level 2 circuit 3 strength-i don't use any weights sometimes-cause that move KILLS me!!! Love it though!

I am making this recipe for Christmas breakfast, LOOKS DELICIOUS, and easy! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Overnight-Blueberry-French-Toast/Detail.aspx

overstock.com great website and like 2$ shipping

i love the matcha green tea smoothy from jamba juice!

Jillian recommends every day for 30 days-but if you are doing other workouts, you don't want to strain yourself-I would see how you feel, possibly allowing for rest days if you need to.

30 day shred is amazing! It really tones me up when i do it for 30 days consecutively, like Jillian suggests. I like the shred because it is interval training, you work hard for 2min, but then change exercises, i like that part-it's easy enough that my husband does it with me (easy meaning no weird choreographed steps)

There is a funeral home here that is showing a private viewing-pretty creepy-I think I will watch it in the theater!! I need to re-read the book too-I am dragging my hubs to it!

This is could be a dessert or salad. Use frozen raspberries instead, whenever i make this everyone asks for the recipe, this will not disappoint!!! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pretzel-Salad-II/Detail.aspx

Never! When was the last time you were at a child's birthday party?

We draw names for siblings, now that we all have our own families. The tradition I am most excited for is our advent calendar. We acknowlede each day of advent with scripture readings, or other little special somethings, whatever will fit in the doors! I love to bake, so we usually bake some sort of goodie, and put it in…
