The first time the dr. said I had high cholesterol I was 11. Since then it has been up and down depending on how much junk I had eaten that year. Everybody on my mom's side of family has very high Cholesterol. Mine right now is 233 and I also refused to take meds. At this tiem what really scared me was my triglicerides at…

Hi guys!!! Hope you are all doing very well!!! Well I weigh in every thursday, so today I was 188.1. Although my bathroom scale does not register any loss, the Wii fit does, go figure!! I think the Wii fit is more accurate, do you guys agree with me?! My bath scale is old and it is not even a digital one. It is one of…

Last day level 1 DONE!!!! Level 2 tomorrow!! So I got my HRM today, yeah! Average HR was way too high, but I already knew that: 149. But his was during Shred and Turbo Jam b/c I forgot to stop it. The total amount of calories burned in 44 min workout was 788, what I doubt it! I think it is way too many calories burned and…

I cant believe I only have two more days with level one!! It flew by!! Today I also did besides Shred and Turbo Jam an extra 40 minutes in the Elliptical. I am pooped! lol! Ready to go to bed!! TeamLeela - your avarage HR is awesome, wish my was that low. My average is too high what is a problem b/c we need a lower average…

I know exactly how you feel! I felt the same way and I will tell you it took at least a week for my body to get used to it, but now I kind miss being a little sore (I know weird...) so I can really feel my muscles...lol! I would not skip, just do it a little easier, if you skip it will take longer for the soreness to go…

Hello! I still have 24 days to go but I bought two other JM exercise DVD: no more troble zone and the boost metabolism one. Each one of them is 45 min long and my plan is to switch between them and Turbo Jam. Each day one of those DVDs. Untill I am down few lbs and more confident to try Insanity, hopefully by end of March.…

Oh Boy me too! It is ridiculous... I Could eat chocolate all day long!! Usually starts 2/3 days before period and go as long as a week! But the day before and the first 2 days are very difficult to control...

Yuck! The vertical left a very ugly scar. The horizontal one is not so bad. I did not have the pooch until the pregnancy. Based…

Holycow!! I am spechless!! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Ok, I know, I've been there a 1000 times and gave up after the first week. This time is different, I just finished my second week yesterday and I wont give up for several different reasons. Thankfully my first day was not bad, actually was exciting! I knew I could not keep on going in life with a triglicerides of 500! So…

Hello! I am not a professional but I know how you feel. It sounds cliche but for some people (not me) is easier to loose weight. I am the same way. Last week I lost 3 lbs and then this week nada! Few things I notices and learned reading: 1. Sodium makes the body retain water, more water in your body more weight. So we need…

To be very honest with you I would not be worried about loosing too much unless: 1 you are feeling sick or like something is wrong with you. 2 are getting too hungry, what you say it is not the problem. 3 are loosing more muscles/lean mass than fat It could be that you were bloated and lost a lot of water weight. And also…

Thank you for your coments! I will definately try to find out about the cholesterol thing if I decide to use whey. I have cholesterol issues too...

I am so tired today! I am not doing shred and I fell so guilt about it. My son came to me and asked me if I was working out and I said no b/c all I want to do is sleep (I slept only 5 hours last night and had a very long day, and swam 30 min but only 600 yards). Well then he said, "but mommy if you don't workout you tummy…

I love greek yogurt, I will try to do that once in a while. Maybe oats yogurt and some honey. I keep forgeting to buy quinoa to try it. how do you fix it?

Thank yu so much for all the ideas!! Well I am avoiding eggs (high cholesterol), I am using egg substitute or egg whites. The problem is than my morning are too short. i am always in a hurry trying to get ready and making sure my kids are ready too. So I literaly swallow a bowl of oatmeal with skim milk and cinnamon. I do…

I was wondering the same about the protein powders and suplements. I also think they would help after workouts. I know nothing about whey and protein shakes and stuff. Anyone??

Hello! Well I am not posting everyday just b/c I am short on time... So I finally got it down to a schedule: Tuesdays and thursdays I am swimming an extra 30-40 minutes and MOnday and fridays I will choose one of the exercise tv workouts to do on top of the shred. So today was my day 4 level 1. I am very proud of myself! I…
