Still trying to figure out this whole picture thing...

Ok... there must be something wrong with me cuz I have tried everything that every one is telling me... and it wont work! Now I am really frustrated :(

Yay!! That is awesome news!! Good luck on your journey.

Infamous double post... sorry

Thank you everyone... I guess I just need that confirmation that I wont have huge calves forever! :) And thank you for the tip about the wide calf boots!! That is awesome!!

I am not sure where you live. But my partner is doing the C25K and she does it outside on nice days. So if the gym isnt an option for some reason, you could always do it at a park on around the neighbor hood. Just an idea. :) Good for you for standing up for yourself. You can't get what you want if you don't express it. :)

Wow you look great!!! I hope that I can see such a change in myself when I lose 22 lbs! I have only lost 5.... and I can't see any change as of yet... but its only been a week and a half lol. Good job! Keep up the good work! And your kids are adorable! They are worth it, so don't give up!

I had two kids via c-section... I am just starting out so I have a full on flabby belly still. But my partner and I started the 30 day shred 8 days ago. I just finished level 1 day 8 about 1/2 an hour ago... it is tough... but my partner pushes me to do it everyday! I want to see results so I know that I need to do it. I…

So I did "Weigh in Wednesday" And the scale said..... 280.5 (-2.5) I was dissapointed cuz I expected more... But I will live with it :) I wont do measurements until I am done with level 1. We do Level 1 Day 8 tonight. -Happy Losing-

Day 6 down!! So we decided to let the kids do it with us... the love exercising. lol Omg I think i burned my calories from laughing than I did from actually doing the shred! They were so cute! And I was actually surpriesed at how well they tried to follow along. But everytime Jillian would get up or stop, the kids would…

So I just finished day 5. Ive got to be honest... if it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't have done it at all. I got a pretty good sunburn on both my arms today... so any movement is killer... but we are commited to this new lifestyle... and that include finishing things that we start. I can't quit now. So I did it... I may…

Salad is very low cal and you can eat a lot of it.

Yay!! Just finished day 4!! That is a pretty big accomplishment for me.... see... I never stick to anything... I know I am only 4 days into it... but that is 3.5 more days than I normally stick to a work out routine (I normally make it about half way threw and quit). I really wasn't looking forward to doing it today. My…

We have three kids ages 3, 4 1/2 & 7. And I just cook healthy foods like chicken with bell peppers and onions, or porkchops with mushrooms and onions. And the kids eat it. For lunch yesterday I made them pb&j sandwhiches, raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, blueberries, and string cheese with milk to drink. I don't make them…

I personally use my heart rate monitor, then plug my numbers into a long formula... and I create a new exercise in my diary each day to reflect the amount of calories I burn each time. Today I burned 401 doing the shred. My average heart rate was 144. I am 282 lbs though... so I burn more. I have heard some peope who don't…

Just finished Day 3. We did it at 11 pm lol But hey... we still got it done today! I feel like I am able to do more now... but I am still beat! And my muscles are sooo sore. It is a sleep in day tomorrow and it is much needed!! I can't wait to see what I can do when we are all done with our 30 days!! Hope everyone is doing…

Thank you so much everyone!! I think my eyes, and my mind are just playing tricks on me! :) I am learning so much... its amazing how easy it is to diet... with out really having to diet! lol I am having no prolems staying with in this calorie range... Granted its only been a week... but so far so good. Thank you so much…

No, I am not looking at exercise calories. I mean, when I got on my computer this morning to add my breakfast it said my calorie goal was 1470, with out an food or exercise added. And I know I have to start slow, and I am totally fine with that... I just wanted to make sure that it makes sense to everyone else. I read the…

Bump Bump :love:

Ok, I just finished day one of level one... OMG I am so out of shape!!! Jumping jacks are the DEVIL!!! I know we did them as a kid... but being 282.5 lbs... those are no joke!! I had to run in place for part of them cuz I just can't do them like I used to. But other than that... it was a good work out. Also I am not using…

It makes TOTAL sense! When you drink pop... you are taking in refined sugars... and when you do that, it makes your body crave more sugars, or pretty much anything that is bad for you... When I drink pop it makes me want chip, cookies, pizza... all the good stuff that goes with pop. So you pretty much should cut pop out…

I am ready to start and complete this challenge!!! Here is my starting weight and measurements. (eeeek!) Weight: 282.5 Arm: 16 Waist: 50 Hips: 57.5 Thigh: 34.5 Will be doing 30ds this afternoon.

Well I used my heart rate monitor to work out for 30 mins. And I found out that my HRM does track calories. According to my HRM it says I burned 895 calories... I weigh 283... so to me that seems some what possible. But according to MFP it is WAY wrong. So I am not sure what to beleive. My average heart rate was 158. Can…

Re: RTFM.... Did that... it doesn't say anything about calories burned... just heart rate tracking... hense why I am asking. :)

Looks like we just have the regular Wii Fit... Super sad! Wii Fit plus sounds awesome! Well... for now I will just have to do the regular one... I guess it is better than nothing. I normally spend my days watching tv or sleeping (I know... its depressing). I will get to my goal... Just have to play around with different…

Ok... I think I am a little confused (being new and all). When I do it... I do back to back cardio for 30 mins. Is there a way to make an "exercise program" where it will automatically go from one to the other with out having to search it out? Cuz that would be awesome!!! Thank you for the advice.

Bump... I totally need these lists for later when I go shopping! Thank you everyone!

I figured it out lol....

Ok, this will do... But now I have another question... My ticker says my start weight is 275.5 because that is what I was a while ago... well I fell off the band wagon, and now weigh 285, I have changed it on my settings, but it wont change on my ticker. I even made a new ticker. Anyone know how to change it, or know why…

How about now?
