Hi everyone I'm Tia and I'm a little late, but I couldn't pass this challenge up! I live in the Washington, DC area and after a back injury a few years ago I don't run/walk as much as I used to, but now that I'm active again I need to start walking more. This will be the kick I need! I'll see if I calculate my steps so far…

50 down!

Me!!! I have been avoiding jeans because I just can't find any that fit right. I wish I had a suggestion but for me right now I've just been wearing tights a lot and I'm happy because it's almost skirt/dress weather. New York and Company sometimes have jeans with stretch that work for me. I also found a pair at Maurices,…

Brazil Butt Lift!!! My buns were sore for days after the first time.

I am in the same boat! I was less than a pound away from losing 20 then my exercise routine got thrown off track and then eventually my eating went with it and it has been hard to jump back in. That was in March and I've gained back about 7 but I am definitely ready to get back on track! Good luck!

Love my FT7

Hi all! I started in Jan but was also taking a kettlebells class at the gym so I didn't really keep up with 30DS, usually only once a week or so. I started Level 2 Friday so I'm going to try to stick it out this time. My calves are still sore from Friday.

Yes, yes, and yes!!! Great post, thank you for sharing!

I have a Polar FT7 (with chest strap), about $75 on Amazon. I use it for every workout and love it.

I used it on my hair this morning :) Natural, homemade coconut oil straight from the islands (Micronesia). You can use it on skin, in food, it's great!

I haven't liked her from the beginning but this week I was watching and wondering how I could despise someone I don't know so much. Her and Kim both. And I couldn't believe when she said she was a good role model for her daughter. Not acting like that you're not.

You can make a stir-fry with it. Throw in some veggies like brocolli, bell peppers, onion, celery or whatever you want, add some soy sauce and serve over brown rice or even alone if you're cutting out carbs. Have you tried the new flavored tuna in the pouches? I looove them and when making sandwiches I just throw the mayo…

Oohh I love this idea!!!

Ok, I'm a little teary eyed right now. Congratulations on overcoming so many demons in your life and getting to where you are today! Thank you for sharing your story and happy 5 year anniversary.

Thanks! I ended up getting the Hunan shrimp with vegetables. I ate so much hot and sour soup beforehand that I wasn't even that hungry. It was only after I logged the soup that I realized how much sodium it had. Ooops.

My fav right now is spring mix with dried cranberries, feta cheese, walnuts, avocado and raspberry vinaigrette. Chicken, hummus, tuna, alfalfa sprouts, and avocado are all good additions (not all together of course)

CARLTON!!!!! And bunnies. With pancakes. Great thread.

I'm with you on this one. I need to take notes here and start learning how to plan in advance.

Love it!!!!

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! Feel free to add me :)

I love my FT7.

Yummm!!! I'll have to try this!!!!

I loooove Pinterest. I have a board called "Get it Right, Get it Tight" where I pin all my fav fitness related stuff. Aaahh now that you mention it of course I have to sign on but try not to be on there the rest of the day...if that's possible.

I take a kettlebells class and according to my HRM some days I burn 300 some calories but then last night I burned 558 so sometimes it just depends on what you're doing in class that day.

I take a kettlebell class 4 times a week, half an hour each class. Right now that's the only thing I really have time for and love it because it's a combo of cardio and strength training. I only really started taking the class seriously and going 3-4 times a week in October, starting out with the 10 lb kettlebells and…

I've been doing kettlebells. I have a class 4 times a week and it's only half an hour so not too much of a time commitment but I could tell a difference in just a few weeks. I also took a Bodypump class that was great. I would also recommend a trainer just to get you started. My old gym offered one free week of training…

I love her too but when doing the punches on 30DS I pretend I'm punching her in the face....sorry Jillian! Great results!!! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!!!!! Great work!

Yikes!!! I just looked at mine and I'm 30 over my DL wieght!!!! Boy was I lying to myself. Well I'm on my way back down so that's all that matters. That just may have to be my new goal so thanks! :) Congrats on your successful journey thus far!!!
