SUPER job! what a fantastic reward for all your hard work. :)

Level 2 Day 7 Shredded.

I can't find the article anymore, but I recently read that one rest day a week not only cuts down on your chance injury significantly, it makes the other six workouts up to 30% more effective! I was shocked. Wish i could find the article. It MAY have been WebMD. But, I wouldnt' swear to it.

I sure as hell hope all the know it alls on this thread don't mind being judged as harshly as you're judging everyone else. I have never in my life been accused of candy coating anything or not telling it like it is, but this is getting mean. For a bunch of people who have weight problems, 98% of you are being awfully…

Ok, fair enough and most of what you're saying is probably correct. But, don't you think you're being a little judgmental and holier than thou? I bet most of the people who are patting you on the back for your post have tried the fad diets etc. before they reached the realization that for most people it does just take…

Miscalculated. I'm a day ahead of what i thought. Just finished Level 2 Day SIX. which means i only have four more days of level two and then to level 3 which scares me.

After 30 years and a HARDCORE pack a day habit (first thing i did in the morning, would leave airports and redo security just to have a smoke) and NUMEROUS unsuccessful attempts, I found the easiest method ever. I've been smoke free for 8 months. Sure, I had some nailbiter moments, but they passed and I will NEVER have…

Most people log it as circuit training, general. But beware. As with almost all exercises on MFP (and on machines for that matter) for most people, it will almost certainly tell you you're burning far more calories than you really are. I don't eat my exercise calories, so it's neither here nor there what it tells me. But,…

It's very obvious from your post that you love him and care about his health. If you are concerned about bringing this up, I wonder if you leave your computer open to the post? Maybe if he just comes across it, he will realize that your concern is love.

Day 4, level 2 done plus 35 mins on the elliptical for fun.

You look amazing. Congratulations!

You are BEAUTIFUL. Congratulations on your skinny pants!

I'm also a believer in no mini's after 30 with erring on the side of caution. Because you're right. No matter how smokin' your body is (and it REALLY is), wearing age inappropriate clothing is a quick route to looking trashy. I think the fact that you are asking here says you probably wouldn't feel comfortable in them…

oh and NO I'm not losing inches either.

At the risk of offending, never, ever, ever bounce. It is dangerous and causes injuries. Stretch as far as you can without pain. Hold that stretch stable for 30 to 60 seconds. Try to go further next time. NEVER BOUNCE.

My diary was private until someone asked me to open it. I didn't open it because i didn't know it was closed. But, for those who actually choose to keep their diary private, it's probably like real life. Some people are just more private than others. And that's ok.

Fantastic! You are looking really beautiful!

I've been away for a gruelling work trip that didn't allow time to sleep let alone exercise. I'm adding what i didn't post before but i'm officially behind now and need to redouble my efforts over the next nine days.

Day 10 done. Tomorrow Day 11 and I've decided to give Level 2 a shot. I've also decided if I'm not ready that's ok too. jillian wouldn't like that attitude , but luckily she's not really in my living room.

Personally, I'd do level one for a few days. I'm on Level 1 and I find it harder/easier depending on the day. If you're killing it a few days in a row then move up.

REALLY? I'm going to be doing Day 10 Level 1 in an hour or so. I've been waffling over even trying Level 2 as the cardio in circuit 1 of level one is killing me (jumping jacks and skippinig are the worst), the rest is fine. Maybe i should try level 2 tomorrow and see?

You have ROCKED it. My only issue is that you seem to have lost the Beatles poster. You didn't have to lose that when you lost 87 pounds of fat did you????

<3 LOVE <3

First of all, my condolences for your loss. You are going to grieve. You should grieve, it's healthy. Don't try to put it on the backburner. I agree with your husband, that you need to replace your comfort eating with SOMETHING. I'm not sure you will be able to work out every time you feel the need to stuff your face with…

I'm just finished Day 9 on Level 1. You will get through it, you will be sore and it will get easier. Just don't stop trying. No matter what.
