  • Welcome Toots and Sstrladybug! I love this site and just started back up. I kick myself for slipping away from it, but I am here now! The best advice I could give you, is to track your food before you eat. Whether it is in the morning before you eat anything or plan your meals the day before. Makes it much easier to plan…
  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I have entered in many different types of alcohol on here. It has been a good way for me to decide what I am going to have if I am going out. If you like Captain Morgan have it with Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi. Then your only calories are just in the captain. When you start playing with drinks that have juice the…

  • Great tip!! Thanks for the idea!! :smile:
  • Thanks everyone for your advice. I think that I will try level 2 this weekend. I would love to work up to doing 2 levels at once. I bet that is a challenge! Thanks again!! Also, anyone who is interested in starting the 30 Day Shred (and you have cable), check your Exercise OnDemand. All three levels are on there and they…
  • Hello! I have been doing the 30 Day Shred (level one) for a week and I am just loving it. But, does anyone know how long you should stick with level one before going to level 2 (and same for level 3)? I am not even sure that my body is ready for more of a butt kicking.....Teehee! I was just trying to get an idea. Any…

  • I, too, LOVE the 30 Day Shred!! I started level one last week and was able to get three days of good butt kicking!! Of course, I am not sure if it is in my head or not, but I feel as though I can get through it just a TAD easier than the first day I did it. Hope you all have a great week!!
  • Hello everyone!! Last night I was looking through the different programs on my EXERCISE ONDEMAND (I have TimeWarner Cable). I was VERY excited to see that Jillian Michaels 30Day Shred 1,2 and 3 are on there! And even better than that......it is FREE!!! I Wanted to spread the word to those who are eagerly awaiting for their…

  • Welcome! Yes, you are here and that is a great start. I just started last week and I really love it. I find it to be easy, which with most diets, that isn't the case. I hope that you have a great first week on here and to hear from you soon. GOOD LUCK!! :flowerforyou: ~Colleen~

  • WELCOME!! A good tip a friend gave me on here was to enter in your day of meals/snacks ahead of time. That way you can be sure that you are not going over your targeted calorie intake. I actually love doing that. I am constantly plugging in different foods/drinks. Good luck and keep in touch!! ~Colleen~
  • Great job and keep up the good work!!
  • It is a great recipe. I had learned it from Weight Watchers right before the holidays a few years back and I loved it. I could even get my husband to eat it with a little fat free cool whip. I had always done chocolate cake mix and 1 can of Diet Pepsi (no egg). But the idea of yellow/white cake mix with Diet Ginger Ale…
  • Definitely don't beat yourself up over it. That's what is great about MFP. You CAN have chocolate if you have the calories to eat it. I know for me. it is where I have failed in the past with diets. It is those diets that say YOU CAN"T HAVE______ that I end up having ________!! :tongue: You are doing great!! Enjoy your BBQ…
  • CONGRATULATIONS!! That is great news!! Enjoy your weekend!!
  • HI Leah!! I just joined too and like you I love it. I just doesn't seem like a diet to me. Just a whole new way of life. Good luck and keep in touch! ~Colleen~
