I wonder the same thing. I drink at least 12 glasses of water a day. My ankles don't swell up but I feel like I'm carrying extra water weight. My BP is fine, got it taken today 118/70.

If I have to reply daily to threads like this . . . It's the same problem you have with any forum / email / text message / communication through technology ... you cannot tell the tone of voice someone is typing in and people take it the wrong way. Deal with it and move on.

I so didn't want to do it, but I did. Day 8 down. Turned down Jillian and turned up my running playlist which helped a little. I cheat though . . . :blushing: I don't do but 1 set of butt kicks, I do jump rope instead. And I don't use weights on the arm raises with lateral lunges (usually do one set with weights but I got…

Vanilla oreos. That's what got me to almost 160 lbs. If there's regular oreos in the house, they wont be touched, but the vanilla ones, I can have gone in 2 days.

I go commando when I work out at home, but in the gym I use, I can't because lol old guys and me in short shorts...yeah ..No

Evolutionary theory states that men are to spread their seed to as many women as possible to keep a strong blood line going. Women are to be fertile and produce as many babies from said seed as possible. I'm jealous when my boyfriend spends time with other girls IF I don't know them because I don't instantly trust people.…

I haven't gained any more weight but I haven't lost either which is ridiculous because I'm doing everything right ....but apparently my body doesn't agree. Today is my day 8 but I honestly want to quit, not the whole thing, just level 1 I'm so tired of it. >_< I'll push through it because I want to get to level 2, it's…

Go back, NAO. It could be something really minor, but it doesn't sound like it. If you don't like this hospital, go to an urgent care or another hospital, urgent care is usually faster and cheaper and they can mostly do the same thing a hospital can, but it sounds like you need some tests and hospitalization to fix the…

I don't reward myself with food because I'm not a dog. However, every time I go to the gym, I save a dollar in a jar. (=

I have the same one or I think it is. Mine has a chest strap and a pink watch, I don't know if it's the FT4 but it's Polar. Anyway. Your resting heart rate is literally how often your heart beats when you're sitting still doing nothing, just relaxed watching TV or something. Once you get up and start moving, it will rise…

I'm done with day 7 and I'm sooooooooooooo over Jillian. I cannot stand her in all honesty and it's nothing against her personally, honestly because I don't know her, but I don't know she just gets my blood boiling. I guess that's kinda good because she makes me mad enough to keep going. I'm really going to have to push…

How do I find time? 1. I don't have kids 2. I set my own work schedule 3. I live alone. (=

No I haven't, but I have discussed it with my doctor and all she said was that I eat turkey for lunch so of course I'm going to be tired. o.0 Well I eat turkey but I don't eat a whole turkey, I can't be ingesting that much tryptophan. I doubt my insurance would cover it though. =/

That's what I believe too, that it doesn't matter when you eat, I don't believe that your metabolism slows at night either, well it may slow but it sure as hell doesn't "stop after 6pm" or you'd die -__- I'm eating at a 1500 calorie diet currently and on an average I burn anywhere from 600-900 calories a day from exercise,…

I drink 12-13 glasses a day, so 96-103oz a day. I get at least 8 hours of sleep at night but for as long as I can remember I've always been tired in the afternoon and always taken naps. I have had my blood work done (back in february after an illness) and they said everything was fine, no thyroid problems, no diabetes,…

I eat lunch, but I don't eat then instantly go lay down. I eat then wait about an hour or more then nap.

Sonny's BBQ But I'm trying to cut out fries and fast food period.

She honestly doesn't do enough crunches to make your abs feel them for very long. I do additional crunches (and did before I started this) about 60-100 reverse crunches every day, at least 50 regular crunches, at least 3 sets of 1 minute planks and 2-3 minutes of bicycle crunches. I do them in sets though not all at once,…

You do not HAVE to move on to level 2 or 3. You can stay on level 1 for as long as you want, some people stay on it for 15-20 days to master it then move on to level 2 for the rest of the days to equal 30. A lot of people who do this program, do it again after they finish, not the day after, but soon after and either do…

It really frustrates me that MFP uses 1200 calories as a legit way to lose weight. You will lose weight on 1200 but you wont keep it off and you wont be healthy especially if you don't eat back your calories. ANYWAY. Today is my day 7. I got curious this morning and weighed myself which made me frustrated and furious…

The one that's set as my profile picture. And: "You can't get the *kitten* you want by sitting on the butt you have"

I don't know how to put this nicely but you have to just get up and do it. Nobody can make you. You have to want to. You may have to hit rock bottom first, but only you can pull yourself out of a rut. Once my scale got close to 160 I flipped out that was my rock bottom. That was my "oh my god this has to stop"

It's on youtube for free, just type in jillian michaels 30 day shred

We have a group on here somewhere I can send you the link, we have some people who just started although most of us are on day 5-7 of level 1 and some are on level 2, you can join if you'd like (=

Yeah, I can't see how they're all that accurate. I would stick with a pair of calipers.

1. What a bish. Cheater! 2. I do too, I shake my ponytail as much as possible because I have thick hair and it keeps my neck cool 3. So do I. 4. Rofl. I didn't notice, but it happens to the best of us. 5. I noticed this, but i blame it on Jillian because she sometimes loses me on her " seconds" or "counts". Oy. Like on…

I did day 6 this morning after "resting" yesterday. I'm supposed to be on day 7 but I don't necessarily want to do 2 sets of it in 1 day. I am planning to go to the gym later so I don't think I'll do it again today, I'll just be a day behind my plan. We're all doing great! We CAN get through this.

You're probably going to notice it more with inches instead of pounds.
