My husband wanted to go mountain biking tonight. Usually that means a quiet night in a hot bath with my book. I was super excited. When he got home, he asked if I'd drive him to the top of the mountain and pick him up at the bottom. I was slightly disappointed, but agreed. While he was biking, I drove to the bottom, then…

Pure, unadulterated, balls to the wall heavy metal!

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

One that I'm consistently repeating to myself since I read it on a forum here: "what other people think of you is none of your business." A lot of Hatebreed lyrics: "You want to see me fail. You won't get your chance." " a promise to myself to never be my own defeatist" "You are as die hard as they come. Never waiver never…

I'm doing this for the 2nd time, just finished week one. First time was in Feb. I lost 12 pounds. Since then, I did No More Trouble Zones and Ripped in 30. Only lost 2 pounds on those ones. Hoping to get similar or better results this time.

I was super stressed out tonight after an issue with my neighbour. In the past. I would brood at home, and take my anger out on a bowl of ice cream....tonight. I went for a run! I feel better, and call it karma, positive energy or whatever it may be, but I happened to run into some of my awesome neighbors while I was out…

I have not been able to commit 100% to dairy free, but reduced my dairy dramatically when my Dr. Suggested I do so to ease my sinus issues. Avacado makes a great substitute for cheese on a sandwitch. I eat cultured coconut milk in place of yogurt You can make a whipped cream out if canned coconut milk Opt for tomato based…

No pics to share, but I lost 24 pounds and gained loads of strength, endurance and confidence on the beginner level a couple years ago. Will probably do the intermediate in the fall. Great program! My only advice is that once you're confident with the form of the moves, you may want to mute the video and use your own music…

I did this in February and am going to do it for a 2nd time in June. I did mon-fri and took weekends off. My suggestions are to focus on form more than number of reps, start with the easy moves and move up to the hard ones when you're ready. (You will be able to do push ups by the end if you keep trying). I couldn't do one…

I had to miss my workout this morning. I always have trouble getting motivated in the evenings, but today, because I had leftovers for dinner, I did my workout as soon as I got home from work. Then, I took the dog for a walk. I'm finally at the point where I get upset if I miss a workout. Pretty proud of myself.

Love reading these. They are so motivational. Today, I felt confident enough to wear my yoga pants out of the house!

Check out that hourglass figure! Wowza! Great work!

Impressive! You've totally got this!

I used 5 lb for most. Moved up to 8's for level 3. Lost 12 pounds.

There are more than 'subtle' differences! You got shredded girl! Front- your belly doesn't hang over your waistline! Side- look at the awesome smooth curve of your back, and the nice, well rounded tush! Wowza!

OMG your eyes look like they got bigger! So beautiful!

Thank you, and I love the new avatar!

I'm sorry, but I can't read this topic without seeing "A tighter butt hole"... Great work on the reduced belt size!

Before and during. Still a long way to go.

Open a jar of pickled onions and go...

Tea, Midol and exercise. If I really need chocolate, I go for a couple squares of Lindt 75% dark, and enjoy every bite.

I've found a lot of adaptations for my husband and I: I do a lot of pot roasts (moose usually as my husband is a hunter too). Veggies will take the flavour of the meat. He gets a large portion of potatoes with gravy & a few vegetables. I take a large portion veggies, less potatoes/no gravy He gets butter or sour cream on…

So, don't focus on 29. 10 pounds sounds a lot less scary. Focus on that first. Once you get that done, you only have to do that 2 more times.

You don't need to cut out beer. I definitely didn't. I just stop at 3, and try not to pair it with chips/pizza, super salty snacks like I used to.

No, it's definitely not bad. I just make sure it's at least 8. Hydration is your friend.

I lost 12 pounds doing the shred mon-fri over a 6 week period. I did levels 1 and 2 with 5 lb weights and moved up to 8 lbs for level 3. I didnt change my diet until level 2, and have never been super strict. I usually have 2 or 3 cheat days a week. I hit a small plateau after level 2, so I started tracking my water, and…

Incredible transformation!

I hit a 2 week stand-still recently. I started logging my water, and found I wasn't getting enough. As soon as I upped my water intake, I dropped 2 lbs. Even if you don't pay attention to calories, you should still log what you eat. 1- if you are completely, 100% honest, you may find some extra snacking or foods you are…
