Congrats!!! I'm hoping to get into some of my clothes soon -- including shoes :-) Glad to hear your husband is thinking of getting involved, too. Mine needs to lose, but isn't ready to "diet" yet. He has started joining me on daily walks, though, which is a big first step!

^^THIS^^ Real friends are supportive of your goals. You are right when you say your "friends" are jealous... don't let them destroy you and the healthy person you want to be. As we change, and grow, and mature, we often find that what we want out of our friendships changes, too. Good luck -- you've come to the right place…

some bags add butter or butter flavored seasonings that add calories. Others may have more than one serving in a bag.

What a great gift idea!!! My husband introduced me to kayaking while we were dating, and I've been addicted ever since. It is WONDERFUL exercise, too!! Congrats on your loss so far -- and have fun when you get out on the water!!

Exactly -- nice to look at, but I'll keep my teddy-bear!!

I did the first ten days before leaving on vacation. I can't wait to get back to it after a two week absence, because in the first 10 days I lost: 1-1/2" inches in my waist, 1" in my hips, and 1/2" in each of my thighs and arms. I also started to develop calf muscles, arm muscles and a firmer tummy. I didn't lose pounds,…

Challenge start weight: 197.8 6/5: 197.8 6/12 195.6 6/19 196.0 (+0.4) Not bad, considering I spent the week at DisneyWorld with my four teenagers. I think it's mostly water retention, since I had a hard time drinking enough water. I'm at the beach this week, so I'm hoping it will be a lot better!!

I am loving the 30DS!! If you don't have a HRM, you can use Circuit Training to log the time. (That's what I do.) Have fun with it -- I've done the first ten days, and already have lost 1-1/2" in my waist, 1" in my hips and 1/2" in each of my thighs and arms. Jillian will kick your butt - but it's SO worth it!!

Sounds yummy -- but what's "Rocket"?

I find that I have a different attitude about working out if I change into "workout clothes" first. I will work out harder if I'm in the proper attire, especially wearing yoga shorts and a good-fitting sports bra. That said,in my experience finding sports bras that fit and provide support for sizes over a standard Large is…

I have 7 cups in already, so I won't have any problem there -- I usually get 12+ cups of water each day. One of many inspirational quotes I like: "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength or knowledge, but rather it is a lack of WILL." -- Vince Lombardi Side note: I WILL succeed in…

I've exercised more, eaten healthier, and drank more water than ever before in my life..... and I'm STILL stuck at 197.8. Was hoping I could break this plateau, but not this week, I guess!! I'm exactly where I started last Sunday. Good luck to everyone else in the challenge!!!
-
Same here!! I just sent my husband and kids to the movies where it's cool inside (Thank heavens for "Pirates") and I'm heading for a pedicure!! I figure it will keep me from snacking ;-) To keep your little ones occupied and have some fun -- do you have any exercise videos? For some reason, kids seem to like working out…

You look amazing!! Thank you for posting this -- it is just what I needed this morning! I had hit a mini-plateau, and I've been beating myself up over it. I needed the reminder to "pick myself up" and get mad!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Have a great weekend :smile:

[/quote] OK, I googled "mint pictures" to try find something for my team -- all it brought up was images of money... (US Mint, coins, etc.) Guess that means we're the $$$ winners $$$ LOL:laugh:

That makes both of us!! I passed Friday, too :-) GO MINT!!!

I've started out slowly -- doing it every other day this first week while I let my muscles get used to working out again. I've done it 3 times now, and plan on shredding on Friday, then Sunday and from then on everyday. I'm loving it -- even though I can't make it all the way through Level One yet!!!

As others have said, anything with caffeine doesn't count as water. On a side note, anytime you drink anything with caffeine or sodium, you should add another glass of water to your daily intake to help "flush out" the toxins you've just put in. Since I'm also a soda drinker, that means 1-2 extra cups of water for every…

First off, I've been laughing for over an hour reading through these... my kids think I'm crazy!! Here's my adds: 20+ years ago, when I was getting married (the first time) my brother was stationed in Korea, and asked what I wanted for a wedding present. I said, "Matching satin kimonos". My fiance -at-the-time said "find…
