I'm still going. I missed some days. I have 5 days left. I only have lost in my chest. I haven't been concentrating on the diet part. The pushups are hard. The workout really makes me sweat. I really miss the gym. This workout can be really hard.

So far, my only result is 1/2 inch off the hips. I have completed Day 12. I feel stronger and am walking with better posture--which could be because my muscles are tight! Level 2 is hard. And I usually do half-modified moves. I whimper a lot. I'm really hoping for my waist to wake up and SHRINKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! I hope it…

I did Level 2 Day 1 yesterday. Today, I am sore. I used 2 lb weights & did some of the modified moves because I think my downstairs neighbor would think I was breaking through the ceiling. My back hurts. My elbows hurt. Behind my arms hurt. Ow. But Level 1 did help prepare me! I am hoping for good results with this level!…

I finished Day 10 and measured today. I gained 1/2 a lb and lost half an inch on my hips. I'm sticking w/ it! Day 10 workout was the easiest. I had some caffeine before, so maybe that helped give me a boost! I'm hoping to watch my diet a little better and squeeze in at least some walks for cardio and see some more weight…

I start Day 10 today! I'm measuring up tomorrow. I found a cool chart on Pinterest I put on my frig to count off the days and do meaurements after each level. I've also noticed I've started talking back to Jillian. And I whine. I've thought about "phoning it in" but I keep going.

I am on Day 7 today. I have already lost 1/2 an inch in my hips. I measure everyday like a crazy lady. I really wish we used the metric system in the US. ;) I am trying to do this every day with no rest. I haven't been able to squeeze any extra cardio or even walks in, so I'm basically just doing the shred. I just want to…

I had success with WW about 3 years ago. My whole office participated online, and we shared recipes and kept each other accountable. After the system changed to PointsPlus, I tried going back to it since I was successful before, and had gained back all the weight I had lost after I stopped using the program. The second…

No Pudge Fudge--like someone mentioned is really good. And you can make small batches of it. Also, Hungry Girl has some recipes using pumpkin. Pumpkin is very high in fiber.

Do you do interval training? Practice running slower and then pretty fast for about 20-30 seconds and then jog back down. Also, if you could work with a running coach (I've even looked up stuff on YouTube!)--there is great information on working on your technique such as your arm position and foot strike that may help you…

I've used Asics, Saucony, and Mizuno. You need to find out if you overpronate or not--which basically means if you strike the ground with the inside of your foot. Check out your current shoes and see how they are wearing. Good shoes can help you not to get a running injury. Some shoes have balance control which help with…

So far, I've been on MFP since Monday, I think. I'm trying to get more friends hoping to encourage you and be encouraged by your journey to getting leaner--and nicer. (why does meaner usually go with leaner?)

Make sure you strength train (especially your ankles) and check out a Hal Higdon training plan online. Splurge on good shoes. Get fitted for them from someone who knows what they are doing. Take it slow and don't go too fast, or you could get injured. If you aren't used to running, the walk/run approach is a good way to…
