Yes it's easier to just have one thread that we can update until Thanksgiving...inseated of searching for the post every week. Just a thought.

I thought we were posting in the other thread. My starting weight is 202.4...gained 3lbs last week and now down 2lbs....my goal is to be 185 by Nov. 24th.

202.4-9/29...I hope no gain, next week is TOM...I wish I knew how to prevent gaining during that time. My ultimate goal realistically is 185 by Nov.24...LETS DO THIS!

They said that since water is alkaline and the stomach is acidic when digesting food that mixing alkaline with acidic causes toxins in the body....I wasn't sure if it was valid that is why I asked it on here... I get thirsty when I'm eating so I like to drink my water at the same time.

LOOL...I guess she's frustrated maybe...I looked up Trollop in the dictionary and this is what it said: A woman perceived as sexually disreputable or promiscuous....is it also British for bull?

Tomorrow weigh in...who is excited?

so are we forming the smaller group?

I usually weigh in on Wednesdays but I can update it for a Thursday Friday official weight ins. My weight on Wednesday was 201.6 and today it said 204.8...I was flabbergasted at that number, but I understand the nature of fluctuations so I'll see next Wednesday.

bosanka...everyone's biggest fear is failure that is why we don't do the things we want to do. We have to defeat our fear of failure and only then can we be successful. Honestly the only solution is FOCUS...whatever you focus on is what will happen, so don't focus on the fact that you keep failing but change your focus to…

Hi Everyone I am in...I want to lose 25lb by the end of the year so I can do 15-20 by Thanksgiving...The US version...It's in October in Canada...soo excited...so how are we going to do this?

I am really not that excited for this season..not really liking the new trainers...Plus TBL is getting overrated now.

That's good hunny...keep at it. Last week and this week I'm trying to get rid of my 5lb TOM weight, it usually falls off the week after but for some reason this time its taking too long. I am not sure what is going on. I did start a new workout (TAEBO) maybe it's causing me to have water retention in my muscles, who knows.…

Hi Hunny, When was the last time you weighed yourself before noticing the 7lb weight gain? The one extreeeemly bad day could've been loaded with Sodium and if you did not drink enough water it could have cost your body to retain the fluid. Because no way you ate 24,500 calories. For me even having one meal loaded with…

Wowzers, your transformation is out of this world. Great Job.:smile:

Hey Ladies, Awesome thread, hope to check to this out everyday. My goals for September are. 1. Finish 6 days of Shawwal(today is day 1) I'll try my best to complete it before TOM arrives otherwise do it within the month 2. Workout 5-6 days burning 600 cals each day. I will be doing a lot of Taebo because it is not hard on…

YES 6 days of Shawwal are definitely on my to do list. But I'll still work out then inshaAllah. I don't know you guys but I'm definitely gonna enjoy my eid, I was good the whole month so I can splurge a little. It's been announced tomorrow is Eid, so Eid Mubarak to you all. Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum. May Allah’s…

Sis Bosanka, you can also try working out at home and go to the gym on the weekends. The past couple of days I haven't done my 30DS, I stoped because my knees were aching me and just decided to concentrate on the last 10 nights. I don't about you guys but I feel more body ache with qiyaam then working out. Our masjid prays…

The shred has really weakened my knees and I'm in crazy pain lately. I stopped and I'm letting my knees heal.

Yeah the first time I did that video I only made it to 20min mark and was about to puke. I kept at it and now I can complete the entire DVD. It does still keep me winded.

That's awesome. Definitely a success. Thanks for sharing

WOW 11.7lbs that is awesome, that is a big bonus. Keep up the good work inshaAllah.

Just started L3 yesterday, it wasn't bad. A lot of the moves are from her BFBM DVD which I've done before. 9 more days

Thanks for the reminder Bosanka, everything you said is what we all need to hear. The 10days are here so inshaAllah let them not pass us without getting anything out of them.

OMG you must be extremely fit mashaAllah I've never met anyone who thought the 30DS was too easy. I've done crazy intense cardio and it does not compare. I drip in sweat after each workout. I just finished day 18 and it still gets me winded. I also use 5lb and 8lb weights..only use 3lb weights for one move. If you get a…

aaaargh I hate Level 2...4 more days left.:explode:

Bosanka I totally agree with your post, especially the original part about asking Him for help with the weightloss. I was looking at a youTube video the other day that basically stressed the importance of turning to Allah and supplicating to Him for assistance and for overall success. At the end of the day nothing is…

Assalamualaykum Everyone... Last night I completed Day 13 of the shred...it was really tough since I did it close to 1am. I broke my habit of doing it after iftar everyday for 12 days. I hope I don't do the same tonight because 1am workouts are not fun at all. Just wanted to know if any of you are having any constipation…

Congrats! First day is tough but keep pushing through. Try stretching longer than she does in the video that will help.

I am far from my goal but decided to give it a try for this month. I told myself I will not check the scale, just at the start middle and the end. Yes I made sure I took measurements also since that is key. Your almost done so I guess it would be hard for you to take measurements now. Next time for sure. But see how your…

I'm thinking of doing the ripped in 30 DVD, not sure yet. Or doing her 30 day slim down where she incorporates her no more trouble zones dvd and banish fat boost your metabolism.
