I've heard her Yoga DVD was good too! I'm thinking I want to try that one soon!

I actually added mine into the database. I put.... Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred: Level 1 Then for Level 2 I added the days: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred: Level 2 - Day 1 I use my Polar FT4 Heart Rate Monitor to get the calories burned. I decided after I started Level 2 that I wanted to put each individual day in so that…

I bought my copy from Walmart. I LOVE it!! She kicks your butt!! I'm noticing a LOT of difference. I started at 213 doing a little Zumba. I got down to about 210 and started doing 30DS. I am now down to 198!! I haven't done it every day either. They say 10 days on each level. You can take more days if you can't get to the…

Yep, Eastern time! :) Can't wait!!! Plus, the new Season of The Game of Thrones starts tonight!!

[/quote] I try to eat @TDEE for 3 weeks minimum. I'm on a time crunch, so I cannot opt to do it for a longer duration, which would really be my preference. Good luck! [/quote] [/quote] What is TDEE? [/quote] I was wondering the same thing. What is TDEE?

Compliments from the hubby are always the best!! Congrats!!

One thing you need to do Mary Beth is to MEASURE!!! At first, your body is making huge adjustments. I was bummed not losing weight. I was told to measure. So I did the second week and on. There have been a lot of weigh ins with barely any loss in weight, but loss in inches!!! I remember 1 week in particular, where I was…

Oh!! And Happy Birthday to you!

Fantastic job!! You have done great! You look wonderful! Kris

We were going to name our girl Celeste Nicole or Brittany Nicole if we had one. Never happened. :( Got two boys instead. Steven Michael and Nicholas Gabriel. Feel free to use! :) Just don't name your boy after the Dad!! We've had so many problems with credit and other stuff with them messing up and putting stuff under the…

Wear a HRM!!! LOL!! You can definitely work up a sweat! LOL!

Add me if you'd like. I am always wanting more support. I kind of have the similar situation. My husband can pretty much eat anything! I have to watch what I eat now. I'm glad I found this site. I've lost more weight in the last month than I've ever have!! I love looking at other people's diaries to try new food that is…

I haven't been below 200 in many years now. I'm right there with you!!! I just sent a request. I am finally down to 206!! 200 is so close I can almost taste it!! I'm glad I found this sight!! I believe 2013 is going to be quite the changing year!! Kris

When you have free time, measure out snacks, like nuts or mini rice cakes, etc. Maybe take some to work with you to snack on throughout the day. If you're working that long of a day, maybe it is better for you to have multiple smaller snack like meals about 4 times a day instead of your main meals. Stretching the calories…

LOL!! Thanks guys!! You made me laugh! Thanks for your input! I have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the past, and just recently have finally had soft stools instead of the runs! Horrible feeling! It has been almost 13 years since I've been diagnosed, so I wasn't sure if anything like that was necessary. I…

I hear ya. I usually feel better and have more energy throughout the day if I workout in the mornings. Maybe, if you have time, try it at midday and see if it helps. I found if I worked out at night, I was too energized at bedtime or I didn't have enough energy from a busy day to put my all into the workout. There is a…

Definitely measure!! Be consistent. Always the same time. I've been advised to only weigh and measure a max of once a week. You'll get yourself stressed over it and that does NOT help you lose weight. You might even gain. Anyway, pick a day to measure and weigh. I weigh and measure every Sunday morning as soon as I get up…

I just sent you a request! Good luck!!!

I enjoy yoda.... Bahahaha!! I know it was a typo, but that just made my day!!

Welcome!! I sent you a friend request! :)

Congrats!! Keep going!! I also just started last week. I'm amazed at how much better I'm eating just by tracking my food! I've been measuring as well with my weighing in. I've already lost several inches!! Super excited for this new journey to get the best body I've ever had!! I'd love to be where I want to be and just…

Are you taking your measurements? I was bummed that I didn't lose any weight, in fact I gained a little, but I was also measuring. I felt better after measure because I lost on average an inch on every location!! Must be building some muscle and losing the fat. Maybe that is what is going on with you? Also, I only weigh…

LMAO!!! :drinker:

I've heard rubbing coconut oil or lotion into your skin may help with cellulite. Not sure if it is true or not. Might be worth a shot to not get too underweight! :)

It might be more noticable if you lose it faster. Sometimes, if they see you everyday, they might not notice as much because they are seeing the gradual decrease. So, it might take them awhile. I noticed that in the past when I lost weight, the people I didn't see as much noticed first. Good luck and keep going!!! You can…

I have that problem too. I'm a 38-40 I!!! Yes, an I. It is so hard to find the right support and be able to get a good workout in sometimes! I haven't been able to run in quite a few years, mainly because I'm too big and would probably get a few black eyes! LOL!! I am going to try and check out those bras that were…

LOL!! Me too!!! :laugh:

Personally, I get more into it if it is hairless where I'm "working"! LOL! A slight trim everywhere and smooth twins!! Yep!!

Bahahahaha!! That's hilarious!!

May I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'6". I used to be 5'8" when I was younger. Unfortunately, I am big chested so it makes it a little more difficult on my back. I'm hoping to lose some of my weight and see if my height will come back a bit with the relief on my spine. Right now I have a goal of 160 lbs set. Would LOVE to be…
