30 day shred is a work out DVD from Jillian Michaels, a lot of people on here use it. They also abbreviate it as 30DS :)

Is it super intense? I am skeptical of it being only 25 mins a day 5 times a week and still promising the same results of Insanity.

I wouldn't be too discouraged. One, I went from 300 to 200 so I had a lot of weight that needed to come off and the more you need to come off the faster you lose it at the beginning, and if I could do it over I would have done it at a healthier rate because I have a lot of loose skin and I'm sure I lost some muscle along…

About a year. I havent taken pics yet I'm waiting until my sons 5th bday party since my last fat pic was at his last bday party.

Oh yeah?!?!?! Well I can fit into a size 0 dress! ...a Torrid size 0 lol. Great job girl!

I have a wide frame, my profile pic is a before and after, but I have an even bigger and better one coming soon! You can add me if you want :)

My favorite show will always be Buffy! But as for what's on right now I like Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, Grimm and Happy Endings.

I traded 5-6 cans a day of diet coke for 1 can of regular coke and so far it's working well. Sometimes on the weekends I'll have a 20oz of diet coke but I haven't even done that in about 6 weeks.

My moms best friend Marie, it doesn't matter which day but I'll choose Sunday anyway. Thank you :)

I wish, too many calories so I keep my drinking to once a month!

If you are REALLY hungry like you say I would just go to the fridge to get food, as awkward as possible with no eye contact and keeping my head down :p

I'm a SAHM to two boys ages (almost) 5 and 20 months! I get my work outs in when my "baby" takes his afternoon nap. However I'm looking to get a job soon because money has been pretty tight! So we will see how much longer I'll be one!

Ugh I REALLLLLLLLY hope I can get the skin back to normal without surgery I can't afford! I still have 50ish more pounds I'd like to lose and it's already atrocious!!!

I'm glad it's making you feel better! I was put on it but it made my depression worse so they put me on Zoloft instead which made me gain a gazillion pounds! So I stopped taking it :> NOT that I am suggesting you do that!!!! My suggestion is to talk to your psychiatrist, she will know much more about it than I do!…

Completely OT, but I can't believe you changed your name to ninerbuff lol. The Super Bowl loss still stings :(

No TDEE calculator is going to be exact, it's all trial and error. I go by weekly averages of my net calories, I try to keep the average above my BMR. If I'm under my BMR then I adjust my calories for the next week since I'm doing Insanity and basically doing the same exercises every week. Next week is my last week of…

Do you have anywhere else to go? Like family or family friends who would take you and your kids in? If not, do you make enough to afford a 2 bedroom apt? If I were you I'd get out ASAP! He is giving you absolutely nothing and taking everything. Not only is it not fair to you but it's not fair to the kids.

Depends on what you're doing. If you're doing a lot of jumping around then yes they can hear you! Well okay maybe not at your apartments but I sure can at mine!

I get a footlong turkey sandwich with no cheese, oil, olives or mayonnaise. Still has a boatload of sodium though!!!!!

I would just start over, especially if you feel you didn't get a good workout in the first circuit

I started Insanity at 215 pounds at 5'4 and I'm on week 8 of 9 am now 203 pounds! I worked my way up though, I started with 30DS and other Jillian Michaels dvds until I felt ready. When I first tried Insanity at 230 pounds I couldn't finish the first workout that wasn't the fit test!

When I started Insanity I was 215 pounds! I'm now on week 8 out of 9 and am 203 pounds! On days where I reallllly push myself I make the joke that Shaun T is a sadist :p I tried to start when I was 230 pounds but it was too hard for me, so I kept at 30DS and Kickbox Fast Fix by Jillian Michaels until I was able to actually…

I do it too. What seems to be working for me is only weighing myself once a month, then I only self-sabotage on that one day a month I weigh in instead of once a week :)

I have 2 boys and I never got sick, but I don't think it matters. I know a girl who was very sick with her first daughter and not sick at all with her second but very sick again with her third. Every pregnancy is different and may have different symptoms even if you are carrying the same sex baby :)

94% fat free popcorn is under 300 calories for a bag and it is super filling! Not exactly the best tasing food out there though, I usually put some hot sauce on it :laugh:

This is gonna be a little spoiler-y so watch out if you haven't read the books!!!! The books are so much better than the show. Also what the heck happened in book 5 that they put in this season I can't figure it out lol. I really hope they don't nix the Red Wedding (DO NOT GOOGLE THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS!) I…
