I ALWAYS crave fruit after my period. I think my body is telling me that I need something.

Hi! I'm getting married too! Our date is set for July 15th. I started working out and eating better after New Years. So far, I've lost 10 pounds. I've been doing a lot of Jillian Michael's dvds. Her 30 day shred is really good for a small workout. I definitely started seeing a difference in my arms and abs/stomach. I also…

I'm not sure if it helps post-pregnancy, but it's been helping me get rid of my tummy.....Jillian Michaels has a No More Trouble Zones DVD that really works abs. Maybe that would help you, too.

Do Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones. Lots of ab work!

I always view it as this. Did you really eat 7 pounds of food? You can only gain the pounds that you ate! You have to allow yourself a day off every so often. You'd go right back into it if you cheated yourself too much. I usually allow myself a little more slack on Saturdays, and I've still been losing. When I did eat…

I've been at his for about 2 months now. The 30 Day Shred video has strength training in it. You just need hand weights and a mat. It really motivated me to get started, as I'm really uncoordinated and clumsy!

Add more protein into your diet. It keeps you feeling full for longer.

Ohhh. I'm a teacher, and peanut butter is such as issue at school. I have several students who would go into anaphylactic shock if they even touched a table that had a remnant of peanut butter on it. One thing that I told a parent was to send a cream cheese and jelly sandwich instead. My mom used to make it for me when I…

I LOVE Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series.

I feel your pain! I'm a teacher, too. I have a bag of sugar free chocolate that I keep around. If I get a craving, I choose the sugar free option instead. :-)

Definitely! I lost 60 pounds before on a low-carb diet. Just beware that if you don't keep it up, those carbs sneak up on you and you add them right back on.

I sometimes spot when I ovulate. I had tests done and the doctor never found anything. I would check it out just in case, though.

Congrats for making the choice for a healthier lifestyle! I had lots of weight to lose after college, and I lost it with a low carb diet. I slowly gained alot of it back, and now I'm trying to lose it for my wedding this year! I'm not very athletic at all, but I've been trying to add exercise this time around. I've been…

OMG. I just realized that in my last post I called it "Boost Fat Banish Metabolism" ARGH! Thank God that's not the real case! LOL How's everyone doing on the slimdown? I finished Trouble Zones yesterday and I did the shred level one again today. I pushed through it yesterday, and i definitely felt it in my hips today. I…

I log it as circuit training.

Finished day one! Took pics just in case I feel like sharing them later after I see some results. Not ready to post them yet! I got through day 8 of the Shred before, never moved on to Level 2 or 3 cause I got sick. Couldn't get through cardio without coughing up a lung. I've tried Trouble Zones and Boost Fat Banish…

I'm a teacher, too. I was bombarded with sweets today! I didn't eat any of the candy, but one of the kids brought Thin Mints. I had two. I think I did okay. We can't cut everything out completely. Moderation is key. Nice job! And enjoy the truffles tonight!

I'm in!

Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones. Buy the DVD!

I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and No More Trouble Zones for about a month and I've seen significant results so far.

When I get a little bit hungry, I just have a stick of string cheese. They're only 80 calories, and even one or two helps curb my hunger until the next meal.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I pray that you are able to improve your condition. I went on a low carb diet a few years ago, and in the books, it said that a low carb diet is really good for diabetics. Maybe you can look into that. Hope it helps.

I sometimes have spotting while I'm ovulating. I had my doctor check it out and she never found anything. It seems to happen more when my body is changing (ie, from a change in diet or exercise ). I would get it check out just in case though.

I make steak tacos!

Right here! Working on a goal of 75 pounds by July. Probably too much, but I've never been the kind to work out, and I've been trying to do at least 20 min/day. I'm on day 6 of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I've lost 8 pounds since Jan 2nd.

Are you eating alot of carbs and sugars? Sugars make you just crave more sugars. Try snacks with more protein, like nuts.

I'm getting married in July. I already have a dress, but I'm waiting til May for my fittings. Hoping to lose a lot before then. :-)

I'm wondering the same thing! Except my goal is 75 pounds by July.

Russell Stover has some pretty good no sugar added chocolates. They help a lot around that time!

Just bought the DVD. Are you guys seeing results yet? Looking forward to starting!
