Stats - Level one, Day one (I will update my stats on day one of every level, and then at the end). Height 5'7" Weight 165 bust - 40 back - 35.5 waist - 33 bellybutton - 36.5 stomach - 38.5 hips - 39 thigh - 22 arm - 11.25 Can you tell my problem area is from my stomach up to my bust? My hips are the same size as my…

Funny, I was going to start this again yesterday but talked myself out of it. Wish I found this thread yesterday as it may have motivated me to actually start like I planned to. So, I will start day 1 today. Posting weight and measurements right away. Thanks for starting this! Last time I tried 30dayshred, I only made it…

try using a ripe avocado in a sandwich - as a spread instead of mayo or something. :)

I'm eating clean now too (over a month now with only 1 day off) and I was thinking the same thing... body is cleansing! Just wanted to make a note Pam, make sure you're getting enough good fat! Your body needs those good fats - especially your brain! Olive oil, avocados, nuts etc etc. Don't forgo these foods! Keep up the…

I too go to a chiropractor regularly and find I can move in general a lot easier and have no pain anymore at all (unless it's workout related muscle pain). But I'm also a fan of a good massage and my goal was to go for a full body massage with every 10 pounds I lose.... looks like it's time to go; I just have to figure out…

I just bought Zumba for Kinect and love it. I don't know from experience, but I can't imagine it would be as challenging with the Wii or PS Move because it's only sensing from your hips. With the Kinect it can see your whole body - arms, shoulders, hips and feet. And it will point out to you if you're out in any of those…

Well, I'm pretty freaking proud of myself. Since I started the challenge (a few days in) I only had fast food once. Success!:bigsmile:

I have updated my ticker, but with my new program and the liver cleanse I did last week, I certainly did not eat any fast food! I feel fantastic! I lost a total of 4 lbs last week and 6 inches (getting measured again tomorrow so may be more already since Friday)! I'm super excited and feel like this will work for me! Hope…

I just ate McDonalds for the first time in forever. I feel so gross now. But I felt like I needed it. I'm starting my new program tomorrow (joined a weight loss clinic) and I have all my groceries, supplements, etc to start right and get my detox week begun tomorrow morning. I now understand some men's "need" to have a…

I'm with you 100%!! I suggest the book "A Course in Weight Loss" by Marianne Williamson (was one of Oprah's favorite things this year). It is not a diet book. It is not an exercise book. It is a book all about our inner selves and the spiritual path to becoming our perfect weight again. I am in love with this book! I'm on…

Way to go JoEllen and Sarah for resisting your cravings! I have continued to stay away from fast food completely. I'm also working out regularly mix of cardio and weights, eating balanced carbs/protein/fat, drinking water, meditating, and doing some soul work to find out why I eat and keep the weight on like I do. And I'm…

Bumping in case anyone out there has read the book. Looking forward to you ladies picking it up for yourselves though! It was one of Oprah's favourite things so I'm surprised it's not more popular around here! :smile:

It's the best book I've ever read for weight loss. I have a zillion books on "eat this, work out that way" etc. and I KNOW all that has to be done practically, but what I don't know is why I don't do it... or do it and then quit. Marianne is helping me discover my inner thin self again and making me realize I deserve to…

Welcome! Clark - when you go to the community tab you see "home - recent posts- my topics-signature-search". You will now find this thread under "my topics" and the more often it is posted upon, the higher up the list it will be. hope that helps. Mollie - "my mojo". :laugh::blushing: Ya baby ya! LOL I had insomnia really…

I managed the weekend! Mollie thank you! This challenge has been the catalyst I needed to get back into myself. I've re-evaluated my goals and am excited to step it up. Don't beat yourself up too much about your fast food day. Just start again with a new day! xo

Way to go Mollie! I myself will be staying indoors today (possibly tomorrow) as I've thrown my back out and want to rest it up. This is good since I won't be tempted to eat out and I also have no junk in my house! Self Care plan for the day - meditation, yoga, rest, reading and journalling. Already had a luxurious…

Everyone around me at work today had fast food for lunch. Two people were doing a burger run (Fat Boy Friday they call it). I turned them down. Even my boss got a big order of fries and chili. OMG I love that stuff! When it arrived, he was in a meeting so the delivery person (my coworker) left it on my desk for him to get…

Sarah - I think this thread is for you to decide how to use it. Mollie suggested that for her all fast food joints that had a drive through were the culprits (ie McD's, BK, KFC etc). A lot of people make good choices at subway but some choices at subway are awful as well. You can also walk into a McD's and get a salad and…

Okay. :embarassed: I ate one of the four fast food meals I'm allowing myself for this month and I have to say I TOTALLY regret it! I went out for lunch with a coworker and we ended up at the foodcourt of the mall. It was Taco Tuesday and so we both ordered 2 soft tacos and some mexi fries. I just entered it in MFP and am…

Lost another .6 lbs this morning. I fully expect the scale to stop moving soon! :laugh: I think not eating crap has really allowed my body to say thank you and clean itself out. Plus who knows how much water weight this has been since my sodium has been drastically reduced! Esquire: I tried something last night just to see…

I altered my fast food ticker today. Instead of counting the days I'm counting the actual meals. Because although it's dinner time where I usually give in to fast food, there are days where I am tempted to eat a burger for lunch (at work - like on Friday) or grab something for breakfast (like I was tempted to yesterday).…

Weekends definitely can be a challenge if I'm feeling lonely. Loneliness is a trigger for me to indulge in junk food for sure. However, I went grocery shopping bright and early at 7am and walked right past Mcdonalds and A&W (LOVE their bacon and eggers) and just did my shopping and came home to cook myself eggs and bacon…

Thanks Mollie for starting this thread this month and for inviting me over from our other group. :glasses: Like I told you, I live pretty much next door to a strip of stores and restaurants including Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC/Taco Bell, Burger King, A&W, Little Caesars, Subway, Wendy's and Tim Hortons. I had KFC on the…

And you could just mix them in with your sauce or whatever too - lots of ways to "hide" lentils since they don't have a whole lot of flavour. I'm a fan of google when it comes to recipes involving lentils. There's lots of soup recipes with different flavours, but you can use them anywhere. Even good as a side just sauteed…

Sorry if this is too late, but for the future - LENTILS! They have 15g of Fibre and 14g of protein per 1/4 cup!

My weekend was really good! No indulgences and I even started a weight training program. Figure I'll do an upper workout one day, a lower another and then the third will be rest or cardio depending. This gives me 2 days of rest in between each body part which I need. My arm muscles are still hurting a bit since Saturday!…

Bookmarking for later - I'll post my goals and info next week when the Vday challenge is over!

Looks like my self-sabatoge is back!…

Love this!

Oh my word I've neglected this thread! So sorry! I purposely ignored last week's weigh in because it was TOM and I was bloated to the hills! But no excuse for missing this Wednesday except I am a little distracted in life right now after starting my new job this week. But... here we go: 12/15 (166.8) ~ 168.2 (+.4) 12/23…
