sounds yummy

I am a true believer in learning self control. If you and your family enjoy the variety of a buffet and you can control your portions - just as if you went to order food where it is served. I applaud you on your weight loss journey and learning to read your body. I am just beginning, but have told myself that if we want to…

My weight fluctuates from morning to night. I weigh myself daily, just so i know where I am. It helps motivate me, and works for me. If I eat more sodium foods the day before, I pump more water as I bloat from too much sodium - also if I drink any diet soda, I bloat. Are you exercising? I find for me that increasing my…

I understood what you were saying from the very beginning. I too find that I am eating more healthier foods then before when I would skip a meal or eat a high calorie food - It is all about researching the foods you eat, making changes and getting healthy. It is also about reading your body - since I have been adding more…

I am planning to stay on level 1 until I can do the whole thing without modifying and being able to get through the jumping jacks without stopping - to me just doing level 1 right now is a challenge. Today will be day 5 for me. I feel it more in my knees right now!

Today will be day 4 of the 30 day shred video. Yesterday I pushed myself doing more on the jumping jacks - they are a killer for me as my knees hurt soooo bad. But I did it and was so proud of myself. In the middle of the night I got up and my knees and legs hurt soooo bad I thought "great, too many jumping jacks" I was…

Day two: 55 squats done!! A great way to start my day! Happy Monday!

Day 1 - 50 squats done. :flowerforyou:

I will join in on the fun :wink: I will begin on Sunday - June 2nd. I may have to break up my squats throughout the day.

I have to pump the water or else I get that light headed feeling. I do it in the morning before I eat - but everyone needs to find what works for them. Good luck! I am on day two of the level 1 30 day shred. I record it as Aerobic - low impact. I noticed if logging as circuit training, it notes you burn more calories. I'm…

I did day 2 of level 1. I actually did the jumping jacks this morning!! so proud of myself. yesterday, I thought OMG, I will never be able to jump - today, I forced myself. Tomorrow, I will do more - I am determined!!

I've reached a point in my life where to me, beauty is not described by what you look like, it is how you feel inside. So, I believe a person needs to love themselves before they can take care of that body God gave them to live in here on earth. I look forward to the day when my body shell doesn't matter. I try to look…

I just started with level one of the 30 day shred. I'm 51 years old and it is a killer on my knees - I got through it and plan to continue. I modified the movements for me, but hope as I keep doing it my knees will not hurt. That is my goal for now. You are a true inspiration - of course a lot younger then me, but an…

do we track this as high impact or low impact aerobics?

I just attempted level 1 for my first day. I'm not complaining, but my knees are not very strong, so I modified my movements, but kept moving. I am praying by day 10, I will be able to move to level 2, but if not - I will stay at level 1 until I feel comfortable. The hardest part was pushups and jumping jacks. I am…

I'm ready to try this! I didn't want to go and buy another exercise video that I would just let sit - glad to see that it is on u-tube. I am actually going to try level one now. I've never committed to 30 days in a row, so here goes - I am eager now, but come day 15, you may need to yell at me for encouragement! We are…
