L2D6 done!! I really didn't want to get started this morning, but now that it's over and I'm "well on my way to being shredded", I'm so glad I did!! Alisa, I couldn't imagine doing both workouts in the same day!! Just the one is all I can handle!! Aliann...congrats on the plank jacks, today was the first day I was able to…

Just in case anyone's interested..... From the replies here, and some very nice and informative private messages (you know who you are, and thank you), I've decided to get a second opinion in regards to surgery, and to attempt to get a referral to a physical therapist (never knew it existed). I will keep anyone who's…

L2D5 down, HALFWAY THERE!! And once again, I'm still alive!! Managed 25 squat thrusts today, up from 15 yesterday. My shoulders and arms still won't let me do a plank jack, don't know if they will any time soon!! Johla, it is a small world!! I checked your profile, and was wondering where you teach? I have two teachers who…

Sorry, I thought it would be understood when I said I have leakage when I laugh, cough, sneeze whatever, basically, I'm peeing when I laugh, cough, sneeze, whatever!! My mom used to do the same thing (had 4 kids) and it didn't seem to bother her!! I'd have friends come to visit and by the time we got done playing…

I previewed beforehand and it scared the bewillies out of me too!! You'll be fine!! Congrats on the loss!!

Thanks for all the replies, both the serious and the funny ones...my coworkers are wondering why I'm laughing out loud when I'm supposed to be working. I told them I was doing some "medical research"... Gotta get to work for now, but will check on this later!! Thanks again!!

Thanks, I will check these out!!

The doctor recommended surgery, trying to avoid that whole thing!!

That's just UNREAL!! Not trying to do all that, just wanting to stop the leakage!!

L2 D4 done, almost halfway there!! I did 15 squat thrusts today, up from 4 yesterday!! Still can't do a plank jack!! I had to lower the weights for some reason today....my arms and shoulders just wouldn't do much!! Travlin...I can only speak for myself, but if I didn't take weekends for rest, I really don't think I could…

I hope his knee doesn't get injured!! Maybe he could do some punches (not working same muscles, but still moving)... Also, I'm really glad when I see posts of others "feeling the pain", it helps to keep me motivated!!

Good Luck!! Way to push through a rough day!!

L2 D3 done!! I had to put the weights down to finish the v raise things!! Melissa and Aliann...Congrats on keeping up with Natalie on ANYTHING!! I'm still following Anita on everything, except I was able to do some "half" pushups in the first circuit, couldn't get any further down than halfway, but hey, I couldn't even do…

Hi, the reason I found MFP is because I quit smoking. I felt so much better after quitting, I decided I CAN get healthy!! I am also using an e-cig. I ordered V2 e-cigs on line. They came in the mail on March 4. I charged the batteries overnight, and started using them the next morning. The only real cig I've had since is…

I just thought of another one....I would like to be able to pull myself back in the boat (Skiff). We don't have a ladder for it, so I usually climb the motor but I would like to be able to pull myself over the side like the hubby and sons do!! I'm thinking I need to work up to some pull ups and chin ups. I'm also thinking…

I just started push mowing our yard this year, with the same type mower. I'm just now wanting to get healthy, which is why I got the mower. It takes me 4 days of mowing 30 minutes/day (took 5 when I started three weeks ago) so I know my body is starting to adapt. I can still feel a little muscle burn in the arms and legs.…

Let me know how her yoga meltdown is....I've thought about doing that next if my knee lets me get through the shred...if my knee gets any worse, I might jump in with you!! It feels better this morning, but I haven't done the dvd yet today!!

That's so awesome!! I don't have a digital camera, so I don't have any pictures, but I did measure my waist and the biggest part of my lower ab (baby pooch) and have lost NOTHING there!! Hopefully I will have by the end of it all!! Aliann...I'm excited to see how much more I can do before going to level 3 too!!

L2 D2 down and I swear, the only thing that kept me going was knowing how much stronger I am after completing level 1....I. Thought. I. Was. Going. To. Die!! I don't think my knees are going to let me do some of the tougher moves, but at least I am able to do all of the modified ones....once I get through these 30 days,…

I was using 5 lb weights for everything except the shoulder raises...used 2 pound for those, and had to put them down to finish the second set. I dropped back to 3 lb today, the first day of level 2...I really need to work on my upper body strength!!

L2 D1 down, and it kicked my booty!! I wonder how long I'd have to do this to be able to keep up with Natalie!!

Great job!!

Thank you for this...I just got home and stopped by WalMart on the way to pick up the DVD (I had been doing L1 on YouTube). I am going to take a peek at level 2 tonight just to have a look see at the moves, and will try it tomorrow morning (won't sleep a wink if I exercise this late).... Thanks again!!

Off to visit the hubby, no internet, so I'll "see" y'all next week!! Glad level 2 didn't make you so sore, maybe I will give it a try Monday!!

^^This, sometimes get to eat a big dinner, and sometimes not...depends on how hungry I've been throughout the day....I do find that I don't eat as much during the day when I eat eggs for and save the greek yogurt and cottage cheese for snacks. I tried protein shakes for breakfast (when I "thought" I didn't have enough time…

Bump!!

Congratulations on taking the first step, which is sometimes the hardest!!

I tend to stick to the all thing in moderation thing...IMO, one day is in moderation, but that's just my opinion. When I do over indulge, I just carry on with life with no guilt, no regrets......the emotional effects of guilt and regret far out weigh the extra calories I put in my mouth, but that's just me. This is a life…
