lifeismoto I have a cute nose? what!! I always hated my nose. thanks! :D :D :D newaustinite beautiful figure :) rocking those heels!

You look ADORABLE in glasses! and beautiful, full lips :) gorgeous!

I hate hate hate it when she says to anita "It's so very hard, isn't it buddy? isn't it?" Lol I feel like Jillian is being so sarcastic!

stunna shades!

I'm proud of us too :) yesterday night I was just like "no laura, don't do it. You really have to study blah blah" but I eventually picked myself up and reminded myself how crappy I would feel if I missed a day. It's all worth it! Great job everyone! Going to do L1 D6 tonight. I haven't been doing my normal runs 3-5 times…

L1 day 6 today! I may go out and buy a couple 5lb hand weights, because some of the exercises are too easy with 3lb.

L1D5 done. I think I need to buy some 5lb hand weights...I can't use them for the shoulder raises (those are killer!) but the bicep curls are just too easy at 3 lbs. and I agree about upping your water intake--I need to do the same.

^ you remind me of my friend's sister...you have the same kind eyes and cute smile :) Aww shucks. :) thanks a lot!!

^ this guy looks like he has a wicked tattoo sleeve Thanks saruman! :)

you look like Emma Stone with a slightly rounder face :) beautiful eyes, clear skin! a 10 for sure!

that's too bad :( My mother had/has endometriosis and it runs in my family. I understand your pain--my mom barely carried me to term because of hers (on top of a few other things)! Good luck on your fitness journey as well as your overall journey to health. I truly hope you feel better and the pain lessens.

I sort of did it for about 2 weeks...but didn't see any real results because I was inconsistent with it. Probably lost a pound or two. But seriously, the Special K Challenge is so restrictive. I think it's only realistic for women who aren't exercising, and have a sedentary job. Try working out at all and you will feel…

Yesterday night we had the first big storm of the season...I live in california so it doesn't get too cold here, but...I'm a wimp. I get cold so easily and I hate rain. I can feel myself starting to crave warm, sugary carbs and hot cappuccinos every day. I seriously just want to eat pastries all day lol. But last winter I…

L1D4 done. I think I already pulled a muscle :grumble: I strained in the bicycle crunches and I'm feeling a pull in my rib muscle I guess? But hopefully I'll be okay tomorrow. It's not bad.

L1D4 done. I can't believe it but I already hurt myself lol. I think I went too fast and strained in the bicycle crunches--it feels like one of my rib muscles got pulled. But it's not bad and hopefully I'll be okay by tomorrow! Note to self: DO NOT WAIT until 10:30pm to do your workout. I had way less energy to complete…

Oh my goodness. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, but the muscle takes up much less space, because it is so dense. Fat is not dense, so it will take up much more space--even though they weigh the exact same amount. It's like comparing a pound of grapes to a pound of marshmallows. One looks like a lot…

Look how defined your calves are :) and your tummy is so much flatter! way to go, you're looking great!

It's one DVD, called "Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred". All you need is hand weights and a mat if you're on a hard floor. There are 3 different workouts on the one dvd, and you do each workout for 10 days each.

I've noticed that if I buy a quart of whole milk, it takes way longer to spoil than a quart of skim/1% milk. So that was a big of a sign to me that whole milk is less modified and processed--good thing! I still go for skim milk (or almond milk), but that's just because the calories are so low and I use a lot of milk for…

Thanks for the replies everyone! Don't worry, I know fasting is not a good option. I think I'll feel better if I just eat really clean today, drink a lot of water, and exercise a little bit more. I think what bothers me more is NOT that I have a cheat meal/day, but that the weekends when my bf and I are together, we tend…

Anyone following the meal plan thing from the website?

the more the merrier in my opinion! Good job pushing through it getfit009 and hojo94 :)

L1D3 :) those shoulder raises are killer!!! I'm definitely starting to feel some soreness. Great job Stormie and everyone else!

L1D3 done. those shoulder raises are killer! I'm definitely starting to feel some soreness.

Thanks a lot! I hope so!! I gotta admit I'm really skeptical though because I've starter working out more and am working on my eating habits....but I've never lost a pound. And I do pretty long, fairly intense cardio. I just don't get it! Maybe strength training is what I need though. We'll see!

How handsome :) Look at how defined your jaw is now. and of course the rest of you looks great too! Amazing transformation!

Yay! I took a few before pictures but have yet to upload them. ...and I don't wanna :/ haha here are my measurements as of today. Bust - 35" Waist (narrowest) - 27" (add a half inch if I've eaten) Waist (navel) - 30.5" Hips (measured across widest part of rear) - 39.5" Thighs - 23.5" Arms - 10 1/2" Height - 5' 8.5" Current…

Can I join?? :) I'm on L1D2.

The strength training is going to build muscle, so that may explain weight gain. I just started it and expect to be disappointed when I weigh myself in a couple weeks...lol. But, add some extra cardio (jog, powerwalk, elliptical) 3x per week, and I think those pounds should slide right off. And in just 30 days I think a…

Just finished L1D2. The cardio is a breeze for me, but man, my arms are so weak! I can't wait for the day where I can do non-modified pushups. :) feeling a bit stiff/sore. (good thing!) Here are my measurements as of right now. Bust - 35" Waist (narrowest) - 27" (give a half inch if I've eaten!) Waist (navel) - 30.5" Hips…
