I've tried making overnight oats but mine tasted super pasty and chalky. I used quick oats. Any suggestions as to what I could do better? I just layered fruit,yogurt and quick oats

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I always see pretty drastic results with those videos, you tone up pretty quick!

Jillian Michaels videos, I prefer 30 day shred. Excellent results!

google "the whoosh effect" you will find this very interesting :)

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, u will see drastic results in the first week

5.6 lbs my first week counting calories and exercising...prob water weight :)

embarrass the boys, impress the men!

have also heard that being overweight can make u irregular, and that it is common for your body to correct itself as I gets healthier. And please don't undermind your success! 23 lbs is something to be very proud of! that's a bag of flour!! toss that around for a couple minutes and then say " I only lost 23 lbs " :)

ripped in thirty is good, I also really enjoy billy blanks tae boe videos!

just finished week one and almost a full inch down!!!

ive done thirty day shred twice now. Once at the beginning of my weight loss journey...lost 18 lb, no idea how many inches, I didn't measure back then. went from being very heavy though, and totally changed my diet as well. I did it again about six months later and didn't loose an ounce, but I lost 12 inches :) either way,…

that's an amazing difference in 7 days!! great job! u are obviously not "phoning it in" as Jillian would say lol. I just completed the 30 day shred this week ( took me 36 days) I wish I woulda taken pics, but I didn't. I did however take measurements, and I lost a total of 11 inches. stick with it, its hard but SOOOO worth…

I hear ya on the soda. Im a former two literer myself who also wanted to stay away from aspartame. Luckily I found diet gingerale with splenda. I also like to drink tea with no milk or sugar, so im lucky that way too. As far as food, what are some of your favorite frozen dinners? maybe u should try to pick on each week and…

two quotes that ALWAYS motivate me: you will never ever regret a workout, only regret skipping one. And no matter how slow your going, your moving faster then you would be sitting on the couch. its all about breaking bad habits/routines and creating healthy ones. look at working out as a non nogatiable part of your day.…

LOL!! i think we are foodie twins! im glad to hear im not the only one who will down a can of green beans :)

i think they mean to say to decrease calories BY 500 a day, not TO 500 a day. to loose a lb a week u need a 500 calorie a day deficit through exercise and nutrition.

i can only exercise about an hour after while my baby naps. Any suggestions on food to fuel me on if this is nutrition related? whats a good thing to eat before u exercise? no, i havent ever really considered lifting, im pretty new to this all. what other cardio can u reccomend? i have no access to a gym and my elliptical…

i lost nine lbs the first two weeks i signed up, then slowed down. im on week 15 now and down 26 lbs. perhaps water weight? id give it some more time before i started to worry :)

u had me at "helllerrr" :)

some apples have a ridiculous amount of sugar, esp granny smiths. i eat galas, they r a bit lower

Ive lost about 25 lbs since nov 23 and for me its all about balance. I excercise 5 days a week ( 30 days shred, ripped in 30, elliptical) and MEAL PLANNING! if im having a heavier supper ( pasta, ect) i balance with a lighter lunch, and if im having a lighter supper such as a stirfry, i dont feel as guilty having that…

i love jillian micheals videos but i find her warm ups are insufficiant for me! try to warm up and cool down a lil more then the video does, that might alleviate some soreness.

i love 30DS! i am working through ripped in 30 and i really like it too! maybe try 30DS one day and RI30 the next and see which one u like best :) good luck!!

its people like u who keep me going! thats absolutely amazing!! great job!

i mix it up. I have 3 and 5 lb weights that i use. i like to switch back and forth. if i feel like i want more cardio out of the videos that day then i use 3 lbs so i can burn through more reps, but if i feel like id like to work on toning more that week, i use the 5 lbs :)

i have been doing it mon-fri and taking weekends off. Its seems to be working well, i have just completed level 2 and have lost 12 lbs and one full dress size.

i am currenty doing the 30DS. i love it!! results are noticable within the first week. I am just about to start level 3 ( i take weekends off ) and with the help of jillian and MFP i have lost 11.6 lbs and one full dress size in one month.

we make home made pizza on christmas eve! and carbs!!! i may skip the turkey and just eat a loaf of bread lol! Taking Christmas day off, cant wait :) and home made spanakopita!

i just weighed everything tonight as we were having spegetti for supper!! using Barilla speghettini. 85 g was one serving, its 215 grams after cooked, and one and a half cups :)
