  • Hey all!! Just wanted to say congrats to all of you who are going strong with this! A few of you in level 2 already! It seems that most of you are doing 6 days + 1 rest day in each level...I was thinking of doing ten at each level (like 30DS), maybe with a rest day in the middle and at the end of each? That would make it…

  • Cauliflower: cut into small pieces and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil (depending how much cauliflower you're using), then sprinkle with salt and/or other seasonings. Spread out in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 40-60 minutes (until light brown). Turn them over 3-4 times throughout…

  • FRIDAY WEIGH-IN: 138.1 lbs (loss of 0.9). For me to reach my Halloween goal, I need an average loss of 0.76 lbs a week. So I'm very happy with that number!! ALSO, my halfway point to my ultimate goal was 138.7. I'm officially in the second half of my weight loss!! The little frog in my signature got to jump past that…

  • I still weigh-in as I normally would. This is my mindset: I made a mistake, it's my fault, and I need to see the damage as motivation to fix it. I feel like if I avoid the scale once, I'll keep messing up and avoiding the scale more and more... then when I finally weigh myself, I'll have a HUGE gain. Hope that makes some…

  • Maria - I hope you're right about quick deliveries! I think the issue is that I'm in Canada but I ordered from Amazon in the US, because the Canadian Amazon website didn't have it in stock at the time.

  • I tried it. Even though it is a "fad diet," you're really just cutting out carbs developing healthier eating habits. I lost 12lbs in 21 days (then stopped, and started counting calories again). So far I've kept it off and I still use a lot of ideas I learned from the diet!

  • only a 0.2lb drop on Friday, but that means I finally broke my plateau! So maybe this week I'll see a bigger loss!

  • Amazon's estimated delivery date is August 10th! Little longer than I had hoped but I'll play around with some other JM DVDs in the meantime. Still excited to start the day it comes in! Congrats to you guys who've already started!

  • Try drinking hot water with lots of lemon juice squeezed into it, preferably when you wake up (before breakfast).

  • Bumping this because I'm in the same boat! Maybe try switching up your excercises, adding more cardio, and only eating about half of your exercise calories.

  • In a dressing room around last Christmas - I was trying on jeans and a shirt, put on the jeans first and I was standing in front of the mirror, shirtless, in pants that SHOULD have fit me. They barely did up, and I saw my muffin top and rolls hanging over them. I thought, "wow, when did this happen?" I bought the jeans…

  • Great thread idea! Can I join in? I'm going into my second year this fall, and I gained a small amount of weight during my first year (not quite a freshman 15 though!) I want to lose 15-20 more pounds and need some healthier eating habits while in school. Please feel free to add me as a friend, I've been looking for some…

  • Cravings are the WORST! I'm getting better though. Chocolate is my biggest one; I keep a dark chocolate bar around and have 1 square when I need chocolate, or a low-fat fudge bar (70 cals, and yummy!). I also keep freezie-type things around for sweet cravings, they range from 35-50 cals or so. When I have a salt craving,…

  • tough one! I'm curious about the responses you'll get! I drink Crystal Light sometimes because I get tired of water so fast, and I count that as water because it's just adding sugarless, calorie-free flavor to water. I don't count diet pop or anything like that, but I also don't drink it very often (maybe once a week). By…

  • Don't worry, I hurt myself and took a 3 day break!! Once I felt like I could keep exercising, I did! (though a little modified). I just got right back in, did my tenth day of level one and, even with the break and the injury, I felt like it was one of my best days, and I wasn't sore after :) don't let it kill your spirit!…
