Hmmm, will definetly consider that if cutting the dairy out doesn't work

I was leaning towards the dairy as well, just couldn't imagine it working that fast with the cottage cheese though. But I will cut it out for awhile and see what happens. That just stinks cause I love cheese! Hopefully that won't be the culprit!

I recently opened a new bag so I can't link it to those.

Yumm, making these this weekend!

Are you using MFP to calculate your calores burned during exercise or are you using a heart rate monitor? If you aren't using a HRM, I would strongly suggest that you get one. I got mine at Target for $40, it's a New Balance. Looking at some of the numbers you have in for calories burned, just don't seem very accurate.

I soo understand what you are going through. My MIL is the same way. At least 100 pounds overweight. She had a quadruple bypass about 10 years ago and her legs are retaining water horribly. So bad that you can barely see her tiny feet under her non existent ankles. She wants to travel and do things, but yet she does…

I am so with you...I did ChaLean Extreme first before getting Ripped in 30, I was sooo spoiled by Chalene! She has some spunk, Jillian is just so dry

Bump Been having the same problem for a year now.

I am 5'10" and weigh 161 lbs. I just bought size 8 dress slacks from New York & Co and size 10 jeans from Target. At my heaviest at 193 lbs I was a size 12/14.

You got that right! The whole bunch of them need a lesson on what the actual working middle class are living off of! Budget cuts - let's talk about their salary, retirement and benefits first!

I love all these stories. Never was really a big believer, until my husband passed 10 years ago and I had some very vivid experiences around the time of his death. But jump back 10 years before that. We were caretakers of a house built in 1785. I grew up around the house and there were always stories of it being haunted.…

OMG! Did w2d1 last night. Cursed at Jillian quite a few times! Had to go to my knees on the mountain climbers quite a few times! This workout seemed like she really engaged the core on almost all the exercises. At one time I had to remember that I was still on the cardio not on the abs yet!

I have this for breakfast every work day - because it's easy to make at work Quaker Quick Oats with 1 packet of Splenda and Sunflower Seeds

I totally hear you about Jillian's personality, she really annoys me! She is just so dry during the whole workout, I am just coming off Chalean Exteme who at least has some spunk about her. Jillian has nothing! I peaked my heartrate in the 170's as well and burned 350 the first day and 337 the 2nd. Not bad for 30 minutes…

12 weeks, 18 pounds = 1.5 pounds per week! Woohooo!!!!

Just started yesterday! So glad you started a new group because the other group had already started a couple weeks ago. I had just completed Chalean Extreme with a lot of success, so I was extremely surprised how Ri30 kicked my butt last night! I was dripping with sweat and am definetly feeling it today!

Just started W1D1 last night. I have just completed a round of Chalean Extreme and I must say that the Ripped in 30 kicked my butt! I was just dripping in sweat when I was done and I am definietly feeling the aches today! Great workout!

Pet Rocks Skip-It

Absolutely Burpees!!!

It's funny you posted this today...I am feeling very frustrated with a few friends right now. Why are they so much work? When we get together we have the best of times, our friendship is really strong, but I am the one chasing after them to get together! They never initiate a get together. I feel like I am pulling teeth to…

Thanks guys, that is exactly the information I wanted. The endurance drink is just an endurance drink, not protein.

I drink the strawberry/watermelon and the berry pomegranate. I love them!

Unbelievable is the word for sure! How do you live with yourself after doing that? And to top it off, she will probably make a lot of money one day with a movie about her story or something.

Good idea on the workout pants instead of Jeans. Thank you everyone for your support. Like you said, I am sure I will gain strength from the fallen firefighters we are doing this for. I can't imagine what they went through on that day.

A is for Alyssa

Grill them or broil them with garlic powder, cracked pepper and italian seasoning!

Katie - thanks, the OTC calcium I take 2x a day has magnesium in it as well. I have been on it for 6 months. Maybe it isn't enough for the amount of exercise I'm doing? Stang - thanks, good thought, but I drink at least 10 cups of water a day so I'm not leaning in that direction

CONGRATULATIONS! You are very inspiring, especially since you have overcome injuries and learned how to work through them!

I totally agree! Keep it nice and "neat", but totally bald looks like a little girl!!!
