I'm doing 30 day shred and I was told on a forum to log as circuit training, general. Some people have those calorie counter watches that they can enter their own calories. Hoping to get mine soon, but until then, I think the calories are pretty close on circuit training.

L1D8 now done. I am so glad I haven't given up even though I have had set backs. I do think I would see better results if I didn't take a day off in between every couple days, but am happy with what I have done. I have never stayed with working out as long as I have this time. UPDATING THE LIST!! tjradd73(Tara)-L1D9~done…

I'm currently doing jillian's 30 day shred which has some good strength training with wts., but there are a lot of other strength training dvds you can try at home. Also I have a wii and a new program called fit active personal trainer that you can do your own workouts with wt or resistance band.

Your diary looks great, you don't seem to be depriving yourself and 2000 calories is great. a 2-3 lb wt loss a week for your size is perfect too. Just keep doin what your doin. I'm sure she'll come around

I have to say I was that woman. I wasn't very supportive of my husband trying to lose wt, even though I know he needed to. Part of it was selfish, that I wasn't getting healthier and I wanted not to feel bad about my wanting to go out to eat. Part of it was that I thought he wasn't eating enough and depriving himself. He…

Sorry I haven't been posting, but i finished D6 and 7L1. Finally did 2 days in a row, then only had time for Wii exercise today. Doc said I could do full ROM but limit wt and NO pushups or holding my wt on my arms. Actually could do almost everything with very little discomfort. Actually the doc was very impressed with my…

welcome shannon. You can add me as a friend. I'm doing this for my 3 wonderful kids too so I will be around to see them grow up. I have found this site very helpful for me so far. I hope it will help you.

L1D5. Actually did this yesterday about 1 am. Skipped today. This isn't going so well for me. Shoulder still hurting and supposed to be gentle with it until I get checked out tues. Did D5 without arms pretty much. Still was sweating at the end, but didn't feel nearly as worked out. Gonna try it again today without arms…

all right. got a BIG problem. had to get my injured shoulder looked at since I injured it at work. turns out i tore some ligaments and have soft tissue damage. doc put me on 10 lb wt limit and no lifting above head. don't know for how long yet. should i cotinue to try 30 ds minus the left arm moves and pushups or put it on…

L1D4. This seemed a little easier today actually. Probably because I was being careful with my shoulder I injured at work last night. I phoned it in a little, but still feel like I got a good workout. What was terrible was at the very end of the workout a saleman came to the door. I was dripping in sweat and panting and I…

I usually cheat one day over the weekend and have something bad. I still record it, but I don't let it bother me. If I don't have a indulgence every once in a while I feel like I'm punishing myself and that I won't be able to stick to my diet once I lose the weight. You'll be fine. Just keep working.

Totally agree here. I sleep so well after a workout and a relaxing bath in the evenings. Much better than when I snack and watch TV. I usually work out a couple of hours before I plan to sleep.

I'm a nurse, but I did the whole prison thing from the nurse side. I tell you OSB overnight was WICKED boring. lol.

when do you leave if you got there at 4 pm. That's a long night. I've been here since 630 and leave at 730 am.

Bored to death! Trying to stay awake. Gonna walk for a bit, too.

L1D3. I should be on day 4 but missed a day. It is still kicking my butt, but I feel good about it and I've already lost a couple pounds. Down to 209.8 SW:212.4 Want to be under 200 when it is over. I think it may be possible!

Hi michelle, I am excited for the progress you have already made. This has been a great site for me and I hope you get a lot out of it. You can add me. Michelle K.

Just got mine yesterday. I need to start today (23rd) since I only have a 21 day free trial and I may decide to send it back. I'm in though. I am hoping for some great results. SW (for 30ds)- 212.4. measurements to come.

still waiting for mine to arrive, but i'll try to jump in when it gets here.

seriously not high. I have been a nurse for 10 years and that is an excellent blood pressure. People are all different and what may be high for your friend can be perfectly normal for you and nothing to worry about. If it gets above 150 with no strenuous exercise before you might want to see your doctor, otherwise don't…

welcome. I am loving this site for the support i get and the accountability. You can add me as a friend if you like.

Just ordered it with a 21 day free trial, so I'll see how it goes. I don't know if it will be here by monday, but will definately join your group when it arrives.

thank you. Just what I was looking for since my wii broke down :smile:

Jamielise- what program do you use or do you have your own exercises?

Almost got Jillian's package. Thanks for the head's up. Biggest loser sounds good.

I'm in. I have long term goal of losing 80 lbs. I have already lost 6 in a couple weeks. I feel good about it and am liking the support I am getting from this site.

Day 3 myself. I need to lose 70 lbs too, but I'm taking one goal at a time. 70 lbs sounds like so much when you are only suppsed to lose 1 lb a week (recommended). I really feel like I can do it this time. I found this site actually 3 weeks after I started working out, but before I had changed any eating habits. I already…
