Hi there! Both my boyfriend and I bought our Polar FT7s from eBay. I believe we each paid around $95 with shipping.

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (the first one) is definitely in my top 3 favourite movies. My sister loves it too. She and I quote lines from it on a regular basis and everyone else looks at us like we're crazy. The second one was a lot of re-hashing the same jokes but the Monolpoly guy scene is probably my favourite movie…

Hi there! I'm Canadian-born but I recently relocated to the UK and have settled in the Newcastle area. Feel free to add me as a friend :)

Bump! These sound yummy! Thanks for sharing :)

Hi there! I'm almost a vegetarian. I would fit under the category of a "pescetarian" which means that I don't eat any other meat except for fish/seafood. Even then, I only eat it maybe once a week or two. Feel free to add me if you like!

I agree with everyone... it's very hard to pick only 5! Here's what I decided on: 1. Hanson - I've loved them since I was 13 - It's music I've grown up to. They are still making music and have been steadily releasing albums since 1997. If you're curious - here's a link to a recent video:…

I don't like it either!! But the rest of my family loves it - they will eat it straight out of the container. Yuck! I too tried to mix some with fruit and I brought it to school for lunch. My friends kept laughing at me because I was making disgusted faces every time I took a bite.... Now the only way I will eat it is if…

Go to Goals - Change goals - and then select "Custom" rather than "Guided". You will then be able to customize everything to suit your needs.

Kara coconut milk. I've heard Jillian Michaels rave about So Delicious coconut milk but I live in the UK and it's not available here. This brand is delicious though. I just used some in my apple-cinnamon-raisin oatmeal... Yum :)

Here's some recipes I found: Pumpkin Soup in Pumpkin bowls http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-soup-in-pumpkin-bowls/detail.aspx I'm sure you don't have to put the soup in the pumpkin bowls as the recipe suggests (although for presentation it would look very pretty). Pumpkin Pancakes…

Hello everyone! My goals are going to be difficult since I am relocating next month. I am going to try my hardest to keep up with my exercise routine at least 4 days a week. I hope that once I get settled in the UK I can find an affordable gym. As for what time of day I prefer to exercise, usually it would be first thing…

Day Six- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do. There is the odd time that I do go way over my calorie allotment for the day (like yesterday for example... sushi for lunch, pizza for dinner, chocolate bar for a snack...). I enjoy food and even though I'm trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, I understand that…

Day Five- Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you? I am losing weight because I want to feel comfortable and good about myself when I look in the mirror. Over the past few years I have steadily put on weight (about 20lbs in total) and I was really unhappy with that. So, in January I decided to…

Hi everyone! I was very excited when I saw this thread. It'll be great to connect with other teachers for support and motivation. I am a newly qualified teacher from Ontario, Canada and I am moving to teach daily supply in the UK in about 5 weeks. I'm super excited but very nervous as well. I started this journey on MFP…

Hello everyone! Day Three- A picture of your thinsperation. What features do you like about this person? I don't have a specific "thinsperation". I just want to feel comfortable in my own body and be happy with myself. I certainly don't want to look like an air-brushed super thin model... Just someone who is fit and…

Hi all! I'm in! :smile: Day 1: Blonde hair and blue eyes, 5'3", CW: 136lbs Week 3 of ChaLean Extreme and loving it! Day Two: I don't mind my height. I am the tallest female in my family so I'm lucky in that sense. Wouldn't complain if I was a couple of inches taller though... lol.

Hi there! I've gone through the Shred twice and I use 3 and 5 lb weights. I know some people use 8 lb as well but I was fine with up to 5. Just go with what you feel most comfortable doing. When I was just starting, I used my 3 lb weights for the most part and gradually worked up to 5 lb. I did each level for 10 days but…

Hello! I'm in! I just started on Wednesday. I'm going to do Burn Circuit 2 tonight. It is taking a bit of getting used to for me as I'm brand new to using resistance bands instead of weights. I'm liking it so far though!

Just finished L2D3. Sweating buckets!!! Still having trouble with those pendulum lunges but I'm slowing mine down so I do less in the set but I'm keeping good form and not falling over. Keep up the great work everyone!

L2D2 is finished!!! My knees haven't bothered me yet but I think I'm developing a shin splint in my right leg. It is a little tender and sore after I workout. I find it gets irritated during the pendulum lunges. I don't know if that's because I'm not doing them correctly because I really struggle with keeping my balance…

Good morning everyone!! I just finished L2D1. This level is tough!! I spent some time just sprawled out on the floor because those plank moves in the cardio section are brutal (even following the modified moves with Anita). I'm feeling it in my shoulders right now. I'm going to tough it out through this level though! Great…

L1D10 is finished!!!! Yay!!! Can't wait to start L2 (even though I despise plank exercises). I totally agree with you on this. This is my second time through the Shred and I started having really sore knees while going through level 2 the first time (I even went to the doctor about it and he said it was most likely the…

Hey everybody! I finished L1D8 yesterday and D9 today. Almost done!! I'm taking a rest day tomorrow so I will finish my last day of L1 on Friday and start L2 on Saturday. It's a tough level but I'm looking forward to the challenge. I have read posts from people wondering whether or not they should take rest days. I also…

Hello everyone and happy Monday! L1D7 is complete!! I think tomorrow I am going to try and complete the whole workout using 5lb weights. That is going to be tough considering I am still struggling with the squat and presses at the beginning. My shoulders are usually screaming at the end of the second set and that's only…

I just finished L1D6. Still sweating buckets but I'm finding it easier and easier. Looking forward to level 2 next week (although it is arguably the hardest of the 3 levels IMO). A change of pace and routine will definitely be nice :) I use 3 lb weights (not kg) for some of the exercises (the squat and presses at the…

Hey everyone! I didn't get a the chance to post yesterday but I did complete L1D4. I can already feel my endurance improving and I actually made it through the first set of squat and presses without taking a break. Those usually kill me.... Especially because they are paired up with push-ups. Hopefully by the end I will be…

Just finished L1D3. I had to push myself to do it tonight after a strenuous bike ride earlier this morning but I made it through! I'm not as sore today as I expected. I woke up feeling a bit stiff but as the day progressed it disappeared. Looking forward to tomorrow :) (I know...I'm crazy lol).

Hi everyone! I just started the Shred yesterday so I am happy to find a group that is doing it at the same time. Support is always nice :) This is my second time around with the 30DS and I forgot how sore it makes you after the first couple of days! I'm definitely feeling it in my legs and pecs. And I totally agree with…

I'm in! I just got the DVD last week and started it on Saturday. Today is L1 D3. I'm really enjoying it so far :smile: I find it more challenging than the Shred.

I feel the exact same way about not feeling as good of a burn as I should but I'm going to stick with it too and see where it goes!
