2 Days down, 28 to go! I feel great, though I have some (unrelated) shin splints right now. I also did some push ups with my toddler on my back, as she all but skipped nap today... Let's just say that I'm never trying that again. LOL Oh, my gosh. I'm using 5 lb handweights, and some of those moves, specifially the side…

I'm a newbie, so I haven't ran through any winters yet, but I'm just planning on going out whenever the weather permits. I do use a gym, so I'll probably hop on the treadmill sometimes, but I don't want that to by my typical workout. I do a lot of spinning and other activities, but I don't want to lose my specific…

Change "piano" to "wine rack" and you have my answer. Lol I love my whole fam, the kids, the pups, the DH, etc. Never felt a need to rank in any seriousness.

Wow! You look amazing! I hope you feel half as good as you look. :) keep up the good work!
-
This is me exactly! I just did week 5, day 1 tonigt. It felt awesome. I am having some shin splints now, though... I'm happy to join your group! Looks like you guys have been making inspiring progress!

Welcome! As a fellow mom, my best advice is to start thinking of working out as 'me time,' those moments you have a little piece and quiet with your own thoughts, and doing something just for YOU! Best of luck to you!

Lol! Wish I had a 'like' button!

I use "circuit training", 20 min.

I have 3 points of my waist that I measure for my own records! Lol I only posted one here, but in my own list, I watch the smallest point of my waist, the point at my belly button, and the point 1" below. It's fun to see them change! I make up for the extra effort by not measuring my bust at all-- it would be demotivating…

Nebraska. I'm pretty sure it is really Nebraska! She dated a guy here in nebraska and visits sometimes, from what I read.

Yay! Excited to start today! To intro a bit, I started the Shred about 15 days ago, so I'm on level 2, but I want to to work with the group, and I think I have things to gain by starting over, anyway, since I've been struggling more with level 2. So I'm re-starting today with everyone. Perfect day for it for me, my baby is…

I've only seen it twice, and it was really interesting-- the girls were all really likable and interesting. It was really interesting to see how they were treated, one episode they were in Miami, on the beach, and some people were just brutal. I think that's something that needs to be exposed, I would have had no idea…
-
I think I will. I love your idea of using heavier weights! Maybe I'll do that. Like I said, I think I'll have things to gain from keeping at level one a little longer, then if I want to jump back to 2 earlier, I will. But I love the idea of having the group for support, so count me in!!

I have kind of mixed feelings. I LOVE that larger people are starting to hopefully feel better, that women can be sexy at any size (one of those chics on that show is CRAZY sexy, she's just a perfect hourglass, though she's a large size-- unfortunately that's not how most of us hold extra weight). OTOH, there's a big…

I would love to join! But I just started level 2 of the Shred.... Would it be silly to start over in order to work with the group? I do feel like I'd still have a lot to gain from doing level 1 a few more times, but maybe I'd just do 5 days of it, or whenever I really felt like I needed to move on. What do you think?
-
Awesome!! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing, I am on week 4.... So I love hearing this!

for me, because I like looking good and being strong and healthy; my life is about that, not about being skinny but weak and soft (aka: skinny-fat). I definitely eat back my exercise calories-- it remains a deficit but allows me to keep muscle. Even if your only goal is to look good, rather than be healthy and feel good,…

WOW! Great job!!!!!

It's true! I've always loved the books, but you have to admit Tolkien did his share of.... describing the country-side, and that sort of thing. LOL Obviously rarely are movies better than books, I thought those were though! Though I would say the Twilight movie is better than the books, it's only because the books were so…
-
Oh, yes, everyone should read it! George RR Martin is amazing, and one of my big fears in life is him dying before completing the series. Let's all say a little prayer for his health. The HBO series is turning out really good, as well, but definitely read the books! That is the polar opposite of my recommendation on the…

LOTR & Star Wars are a toss up for me. The LOTR movies are even better than the books, which is saying a lot. Harry Potter is so much fun, and it was a great oook series, I've only seen a few of the movies though. Another poster said it best in wondering what Twilight was doing on that list. LOL I'm not a big book snob or…
-
Yeah, that's really not going to do anything good. :) Think about how many ounces what you ate for breakfast was, or how many ounces would be loss in urinating before or after weigh-in. It's just silly, kwim?
-
That's normal. I was no stranger to the gym, loved my spin classes, etc, and no way did I just hop into running, I'm slowly building up to it. Running is just different from other cards, at least for me. I recommend the c25k program, too. I downloaded a great program to my phone, I listen to pandora or google music, & it…

Yes, you're doing the right thing. When you start to question that, picture your daughter in your shoes in 20 years. Would you advise her to stay with a man who treated her this way? You and your daughter are in my thoughts. I wish you the best. Your life WILL improve, you both deserve better.

I have 3 girls, my 7 yo is going to be a firefighter, $20 costume purchased. My 6 yo is going to be Jem (from the 80s cartoon), I'm putting her costume together from Goodwill, & a little sewing. I have a double-breasted pink suit jacket for my 2yo, & I'll make her a matching skirt and tiny pillbox hat, & shell be Jackie O…
-
Yes. LOL It's a bonus, is all.
-
I have 3 girls, they are 7, 5, and 2. I was 25, then 26, then 30, respectively. I love being a girl mom! So much fun.

Exactly! The 30DS isn't really about the number on the scale so much as size and fitness. Do your jeans fit better? You look MUCH smoother in the front/bottom of your stomach, to me. That's how the 30DS is working for me, too, I'm also on day 10, and I think I'm down 1 lb (which is realistically just fluctuation, not…

You'll never, ever know until you try. You won't. Let me share with you one secret of mine-- working out is good motivation when it comes to eating, too. I think "wow, I worked my *kitten* off running, am I going to ruin it all by eating cookies? Um, no. I did all that hard work, keep up the good work, me!!!" KWIM? Start…

I'm assuming it's a restaraunt, not your grandparents', I go to restaraunts all the time that aren't chains and therefor don't have nutritional info available. I guesstimate, and I try to be really liberal. So if I find an option in the log for something homemade of the same dish, I do that, but sometimes up the calorie…
