  • I have started making my own flavored water. Its fun to try different combinations, but so far my favorite has been cucumber and mint. I add it to a gallon water jug and usually finish it in 48 hours. Some of the other flavorings I have experimented with in various combinations include, strawberries, kiwi, lemon, lime,…
  • I have been most successful with exercising once I came to terms with a few things and built my "plan" around that: - it has to be something I enjoy doing ( ie, dancing) - it cant be too strenuous - at least not at first... i don't want to be in pain... (just being real...) - it has to be convenient and flexible-- ie, i…
  • Keep going. Even when you have a slight bobble, dust yourself off and get back at it. Never give up.
  • Thank you for the reply. This is very helpful information.
  • I hit a plateau eating 1000-1200 calories-- I did lose about 12lbs b4 the plateau, so I was afraid to up my calories and eating the exercise calories--- however, once I did the weight started comin off again. I also added different foods to my diet, like spinach, walnuts, tuna and blueberries. Before that I was eating…
  • Belly fat is my issue as well... It seems as I lose weight, everything is getting slimmer except for my belly... time to hit hard on the crunches!
  • Day 10 down.... not sure if I will go to Level 2 or not... I can say that I am tired of Level 1 in more ways than one... so we'll see!
  • I'd intended to go non-stop, however skipped yesterday, but was back on the grind today. So eight days down! The biggest lesson I am learning from being successful at being healthy is to keep getting back on track no matter how long or how far you fall off.... Hang in there and pat yourself on the back for starting back…
  • Day 7--- CHECK!
  • Same here! Seems the cardio is getting easier but the weights are getting harder...
  • I've thought about peaking into 2... but i think i'll wait until I master level 1. Since I think level 1 is tough, if i look ahead i might get discouraged..
  • Day 5 down! My endurance is getting better, but its still tough. While my endurance is getting better, my desire to quit during the work out is also getting stronger.... its getting a little boring with some of the weight exercises. But hanging in.. I can clearly see a difference in my midsection after only five days!l
  • Day 4 down!!!! Its still not getting easier...
  • Day 3 down! I almost talked myself out of it...but glad I didn't. I've learned to not give exercising much pre- thought-- I just have to do it. Anyway-- I have only been sore in my shoulders, arms and abs so I'm starting to think I'm not doing something right with the legs... Maybe not getting low enough during the…
  • Three lbs..
  • Today seemed worse than yesterday... I am soooooo exhausted!!! But glad I made it through. Also, is it me,or is Jillian off on her counts? I swear I hear her say "a few more" and to me that means about 3 more... not 10 more....she's killing me.
  • Improved energy levels!
  • This was my first day and it was tough. My arms still feel like jello and I finished like 30 minutes ago. I did not do it with 100% intensity- but I did my best to modify and keep going and finished it. I am looking forward to trying again tomorrow and getting to the point where I am at least modifying a lot less. To all…
  • I make a chia seed breakfast cereal and usually make a batch at night for two days. High fiber right at the start of the day! :heart: :smile: Ingredients: 4 tablespoons of chia seed 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk 2 tsp vanilla flavor 1/2 cup fresh chopped strawberries I mix the milk and chia seed together at night and…
  • I drink Almond Breeze brand unsweetened original almond milk-- tastes good and only 40 calories per cup. I also drink the unsweetened vanilla which is also good.
  • I am having a hard time giving up my coffee and sweet and low. I've tried stevia but hate the taste. I've tried it black... Don't like! I think I am going to just have to try to limit to one cup a day... I usually drink two or three.
