Cold Turkey is exactly what popped in my head when i first read your post. So i laughed when that was the first post response I read! :) BUT, I know it is NOT easy to do - especially when it feels like you've already given up so much!! I was hooked on starbucks breakfast blend (Kcup) + french vanilla creamer...drank 24-48…

YOU NEED TO TRY LESLIE!!! You can buy leslie dvd's for $10 so even if you hate, you're not out too much. I recommend her 4 mile super challenge or the 5 fat burning miles. You may be surprised at just how tough one of those hour-long workouts can be!! I lost 30 lbs over 4 months doing the 4 mile super challenge 5…

I'm not going to make my goal of 100 miles in sept!! I managed to do 5 miles this past week. So I'm at 8 done/92 left LOL. Can't seem to find the consistency right now. Think i will modify my goal to...well...i have no idea what would be a good goal at this point! i'll just do as much as i can of the 100 and start over in…

Completed/Goal= 3/100 yesterday i didn't get to walk, but did complete the mini challenge. Tonight I walked the first 3 miles of the 5 fat burning miles, but did not get to the mini challenge. Will get in a better routine after the weekend. Hope you all had a great 2nd day of this challenge - I sure did. I haven't "moved"…

Ok - I'm in. 100 miles for the month of Sept plus the mini challenges. Thanks guys!! I saw a couple familiar faces in the crowd - looking forward to getting to know a few more Leslie fans!! I've been walking with her since 2004 when I bought my first Leslie DVD - the 4 Mile Super Challenge. Lost over 20 lbs with that…

I'm taking a rest day today because my house needs work...dishes and laundry piled up while i was exercising and I have company coming tomorrow that I must prepare for. Tomorrow will be Week 2, Day 4. I'm a full week behind most of you. :frown: Dumb toys. :grumble: But on a bright note - I have noticed that when I go…

My thursday points: 1 for water + 1 for logging = 2. No sleep point or exercise point for today. I'm busy getting ready for my sister and her two kids that are coming tomorrow - doing laundry, dishes and fixing some salads ahead. Nothing worthy of exercise points that's for sure - and it's rest day from Ripped in 30. But,…

I hear ya! If you can find a tupperware dealer - or go online to their website or ebay - they have a couple of 48 oz containers. One is in the kids section - its a huge spongebob cup - it is crazy to drink out of, but fun in a way, too - it is definitely a conversation piece if nothing else, lol. They also have some in…

Week 2, Day 3 done. I'm tired - I wish i could get my workout done earlier. Darn this summer schedule. Side note: got my first HRM ever in the mail today. i selected a Polar FT40. I got their sports bra to go with it...I don't really like having to wet down the little electrode panels...I don't like the "wet" sensation. If…

Darn - I'm going to have to work hard at getting that 7 hours. I have to be to work by 7:30am and with kids busy schedules don't get home til after 7 in the evening - I'd be ok if I'd go to bed instead of come on here and check in with all of you...but I'm going to sacrifice the sleep point for another night because this…

You made me giggle! "I'm working out, you should try it!" ROFL!!! I love it!! I think I'm going to go to that website and try some JUST so I can use that line!!! Thanks for the smile!

ok - I really wanted to skip tonight - sore from yesterday and tired from stressful day at the office. BUT, i did it anyway! W2D2 done.

Tuesday Points = 4. My normal exercises include walking, jogging, Leslie Sansone and/or Jillian Michaels DVD's. I also like the Wii, but do to its location, I usually don't use it...but i did just order Zumba for the Wii - that will probably prompt me to relocate the Wii down to my workout area, lol! My hubby and my kids…

My starting weight is 178. My points for today: sleep = 1 track food = 1 water = 1 exercise = 2 Total of 5.

ew, Ew, EW!!! I won't be having lettuce tomorrow! OMG that is so gross! You poor thing...i would have lost my appetite. Hey, maybe that's what I should do to lose weight! Picture spiders all over my food...! (EW!) :sick:

Hi, everyone! I'm Nancy. I'm a late-joiner. #28 on the list and VERY happy to be "in"! My husband and I have 3 sons, ages 4, 5 and 9. I am 35, 5'6", medium build but overweight at roughly 178 lbs. I never really struggled with my weight until I met my husband! I got comfortable, then had kids! Was on bed rest for 5-6 wks…

I agree 100% and that's why I'm going with him - I want to support him for all the reasons you mentioned...so he'll support me and because I hope it will lead to more!! Maybe try Wii Fit or the Xbox equivalent depending on what system he prefers? The two of you can compete in running, boxing, dancing, and lots more. Or…

I laugh every time she wigs out about "hammer time" during the running man, rofl! Maybe someone can explain this - what does she mean when she says "...and don't phone it in." ?? Another "pass" day for stupid toy disaster in my workout area. Tomorrow will be a sad, sad day for my children - a happy happy one for me!!! I…

Hi, everyone! I haven't given up, but my kids DESTROYED the area i workout in...they have toys ALL OVER :explode: with ages 4, 5 and 9 they would love for me to continually pick up after them. Well, I'm not doing it anymore. :devil: Tonight I made them start sorting toys...we are getting rid of lots. I probably won't get…

I feel EXACTLY the same way!! But, if you listen close, she tells us the key - we just have to do it SLOWER. By going slower on the running man and butt kicks and fast feet, too for that matter, I can make it all the way through. That makes me feel better than trying to go as fast as the girls and having to just step in…

jae605 - YAY!!! Those are awesome results for one week! I just finished W1D5. I'm going to keep doing week 1 because i really am a beginner. I do all the moves "modified", partly because I'm afraid if I don't, i won't be able to actually finish the workout!! I'm going to do the whole week again I think and keep working on…

W1D4 done! I decided that the reason the butt kicks are hard is because I give it ALL on the strength training set immediately before them. I squat deep and let 'er rip...thighs burning...so when I get to the butt kicks my legs are on fire! I did high knees for part of the butt kicks today and jogged in place a little.…

I just completed W1D3 and share your sentiments exactly!!! I am struggling to do the butt-kicks in the 3rd round of cardio, though. Not sure why, but by about that point I always feel like I'm going to fall over, lol! I like that she says it doesn't have to be perfect - makes me realize i can go slower than they are as…

My first son was just as you're discribing - other than he did take a nap, but I worked full time during the day, so I did not get one. I have 3 boys now and here is what I learned: You can have it all, just not all at the same time. So, what that meant for me was I can work out, but not on my own terms for a few years.…

Ok. So. I have had a flaky start at best. I did W1D1 on July 2, took a rest day on the 3rd because I felt like i'd been hit by a truck, then walked a 5K on the 4th. (I took 1st in my division - much to my own surprise actually, lol). Then today I did W1D2. Today felt a little easier than day 1, but my right arm is…

ok...so all of you that just came off of the shred definitely have a better starting point. I own the shred but its been at least a year since i did it. I thought it was grueling, but no more or less than RI30 just was!! I finished the workout, came up stairs and started logging my food/exercise for the day so far and…

I got my last 4 miles in this morning! YAY!! Goal: 100 miles Done: 100 miles Left: 0!!!!! I do not know if there will be another Leslie challenge, but I am starting RI30 with some folks on another forum. RI30 is "Ripped in 30" with Jillian Michaels. i ordered the dvd off amazon for like $10. It starts tomorrow, July 1. I'm…

Goal: 100 Done: 96 Left: 4 1 more walk and done!!!!

You WILL make it!! Good job!

Did 5 yesterday, skipping today because when i went downstairs to get started, I discovered our sewer pump wasn't working. By time hubby and I figured it out, it's too late and I just don't have the heart left for it tonight. My grandma is being laid to rest in the morning so probably will end up skipping tomorrow, too.…
