When I exercise in the morning, I am happy and proud of myself all day long. Unfortunately, because I have to be at work by 7:30 AM, it's few and far between that I am able to exercise in the mornings; it can be difficult to make myself wake up early on my days off! So on days that I cannot exercise in the morning, I do it…

This has been a problem for me too. I just figured they were heat rashes. Great suggestions here, thanks.

Thank you for this thread. Blisters on my feet is the only reason why I cannot sustain a running routine. I have great running shoes and thought I had good socks. I'll have to look into upgrading my workout socks! =D

For real? Oh wow, I am going to try breathing this way. Thank you!

Glacaeau Smart Water comes in 33.8 fl oz bottles. I drink two of them and the problem is solved. :) Buying bottles can be expensive but if you get used to drinking that volume of water, it gets much easier to do it without the bottles to guide you. At least it works for me.

Never underestimate the Bumblebee premium light tuna in water pouches for an additional protein source during lunch (or a snack, I don't judge! hehe). One pouch is only 60-70 calories (I forget off the top of my head) with lots of protein, Omega 3, B vitamins, etc. And no carbohydrates.

I agree, it might be your form. I had done lunges my entire life via gym classes and also in working out. It wasn't until I started doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred that I realized I was lunging incorrectly. On her video she states not to let your knee go passed your toes - I had always been doing them with my knees…

I did 30DS L1 this morning! :) Feels good to get it out of the way for the day!

It's probably only fluid fluctuation in your body. I doubt you gained one pound of fat.

Been on it for years and its helped me quit smoking. No weight loss though. (But I haven't gained weight either)

I wish I had some suggestions but unfortunately I am in the same boat as you are. However, I am looking forward to see suggestions from others.

YES! This is SICK. This absolutely disgusts me. It also bothers me to see people use gym equipment but not wipe them down with the wipes that are already provided by the gym. And I know people go to the gym to work out, but I hate when someone gets on the elliptical beside me and they have terrible body odor. Normally I…

I ate 75% raw and dropped 15 lbs my first month. It was awesome. I've since slipped BIG TIME but thankfully have kept all of the weight off (minus 3 lbs, but who's counting?). I felt so much better eating raw so I really am trying to incorporate raw foods slowly back into my overall diet. It has been really difficult,…

My left knee hurt terribly the first day I ever did the 30 Day Shred, and about two days afterward. Then I paid better attention to my form and it turns out I wasn't doing the movement correctly. Jillian even warns about when someone is lunging incorrectly and how it places unnecessary stress on the joints. If you look at…

I don't think that's lame. But perhaps that's because I'm the same way. I cannot eat any meat that looks like the animal. That's why I absolutely cannot eat fish or other aquatic meats because they are identical to the actual animal. *cringes* My boyfriend once made a cornish hen for dinner and I ate a few bites and then…

Oh... so are you saying that it's not accurate in terms of mileage then? Darn!

Oh wow, what a cool idea! I am definitely going to try this.

katemarjoram you inspired me to do the dvd again! I just finished D2L1 :bigsmile:

After only 15 days? That's awesome! Congrats! I think I'm going to try to do her workout again this morning.

I did D1L1 of the 30DS Saturday night and my legs are so sore I cannot walk down a set of stairs without wincing in pain. How am I supposed to do this for 30 days straight? I haven't been able to do much of anything besides yoga since doing it. This sucks. I feel like such a slacker. An incredibly weak and out-of-shape…

I just recently got back into yoga. :) Right now I do it with DVDs but I am dying to get to a yoga studio. I probably won't be able to do that though until after I graduate from grad school.

I did D1L1 last night of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and I have to say that was very intense! My thighs were really, really sore last night and still are today. That workout is definitely not for someone that gives up easily when feeling uncomfortable.

Holy crap. You look like a completely different person. Absolutely incredible. I am beyond impressed!

Absolutely fantastic results! Great job. You are definitely putting the work in this, that's for sure. Inspirational.

I'm confused. Where does the 503 calories figure come from? Can someone do mine? I am 5'4" and 124 lb.

I bought this dvd a month or so ago and have yet to start. I think I'll try it tonight after I get home from work. I'm in.

Nah, that's okay. You can keep it. Just don't let it happen again. ;)

Ha! I just couldn't resist! :)

Crate. eta: haha you beat me to the punch with your edit.

mmm, I love love love Thai food. I recommend the soups. My personal favorite is roasted duck noodle soup. The noodles are mixed with bean sprouts, the broth is flavored with anise and basil, and I get spicy level 5 (on a spicy scale 1 to 10 - 1 being not spicy, 10 being super ridiculously hot spicy). It's incredibly…
