Soooooo.... everyone!? How is the shred going? I have yet to start back up, and I've been somewhat bad lately. Oops. Need to get back on the wagon!

I certainly say to suck it up, but I have a hard time doing so myself. The first few days of mine is pure H-E-Double. Then it's breezy. But, I am having difficulty working out AT ALL, my class is over after Weds so I will begin actually working out. I say, take ibuprophen or midol and push through it. Another issue I have…

Just bought me a pair of size 6 dressy capri type pants.. and they are even a little big. My problem is that my hips are always bigger than the rest of me.. and I am not actually working out right now, and once I do, they will get smaller. Good job everyone!

Congrats! It's such a great feeling to be in single digits! I used to be a 12 before I first lost weight about 6 yrs ago. Then I had gotten down to a 6/8.. lately I was pushing a 10. Now I have on a pair of size 10 that are loosey-loose =:) I want to get back into 6's- comfortably.

Anyone still doing the shred or gave it a shot yet? I have yet to begin again. School keeps me way too busy! I am taking some time off to gather my bearings and plan some of this wedding though. One more week and I will have at least 6 off, so I will do the shred then!

I got mine @ Target. The 5lbs were like.. $6 apiece and the 3lbs were like.. $4?? I forgot already but it's around that. TJ Maxx also sells some usually but the selection kinda stinks. You can also get the @ Walmart. They are in the sporting goods sections of Walmart and Target. Good luck ladies! I hope to get into it this…

Hey- sorry I just saw your message. Dumbells are probably best because you go from holding them to not holding to holding them, etc. I actually have to start again. I stopped after day 2 because I couldn't MOVE! lol.. and now.. it is just too hard for me to wake up early enough to get it in before work. Can we say…

It's a circuit training workout dvd by Jillian Michaels. While it looks easy, it isn't! It is a 30-day program with three levels. You can get it for around $9 at Walmart, Target or on ebay or amazon. You will also need 3-5 lb weights (5lb was too much at first so I suggest starting with 3lb) and a yoga type mat if you are…

Day two on the shred, level 1 with lighter weights for all but chest curls= not as bad as day 1. I actually made it through and didn't feel sick. But, it was hard don't get me wrong. Keep shredding!

Ohh!! Please don't give up! Being sore the next day is actually a good thing and will go away after a little bit. Feel free to check in here when you decide to give it another shot =:)

Well, it sounds like you got through with the 5lb at least! Great job! I could barely do that.. I was doing like half moves because I simply couldn't lift all the way toward the middle/end. WOW! I had all I could do to wash my hair in the shower.. lol

Wow- thank you for this awesome post! I don't even own a scale. I use the wii to weigh myself. I think I am actually going to buy a scale now though because it might be important for me to weight myself with a real scale once a week or so in the morning before I shower =:) Thanks!!

I will give it a shot! I am going to take my nalgene with me, filled with water. We are heading to Mobile for the day on Saturday so I know there is some fast food lunch and Ihop in my future! This is going to be my first family weekend when I am actually trying to be "good". Good luck to all!

Thanks for the Skinny Saturday Challenge! I will look into it. I can easily stay away from the chocolate though. I might make an angel food cake if his mom brings lots of bad goodies.. as she usually does =:) she's too cute. I would have the angel food cake with strawberries! Yum! Thanks everyone for the tips. This is…

This is great to hear! I just got my DVD in yesterday and will do my first workout on Saturday. P.S. your profile pic- that bridesmaid dress looks like the one I chose for my girls, and we're going to do fushia dress with a brown sash- looks like the opposite of yours! =:)

Ohhh! Ok well, Amazon is great too. I got it off of ebay but saw it on Amazon for about the same price but you have to pay shipping.

You've got that right. We separated our big pack of chicken out last night and one breast was 12 ounces!!!!!!!!!!! We cut in two!

Pasta with chicken cut up into it and salad. You can use whole wheat or whole grain pasta, which typically has fewer calories per serving. Healthy choice pasta sauce I believe is lower calories than traditional brands. Sorry, I am new to this and trying to figure out healthy meals still :)

Holy cow. 324 in one slice!? I can only imagine how many calories I was eating when I have digiorno three meat!

Hmmm... Well just FYI- you can buy the DVD @ Walmart of Target. It was $9 here at Walmart plus sales tax. I had ordered it online before I realized they had it here, but I didn't pay any more than I would have @ the store becauase of the tax I would have paid. But, the DVD claims to help you lose up to 20 lbs in a month.…

Hmm.. I used to use splenda all the time then I heard some bad things about it. But, I would really love to have coffee nearly calorie free. I'd still have to use creamer I assume because it's just a flavoring, and not a powder creamer type thing, right?

I think I would like to! I was going to start the C25k last year and never... got around to it. lol I tried running for the first time in a long time yesterday and had to walk half, if not more than half of my 1.2 miles. I'd like to be able to do a 5k- I was going to sign up for one in 2 weeks but realized there is no…

It is a DVD by Jillian Michaels of the Biggest Loser that gets really good reviews. I haven't received mine in the mail yet but I have heard it is good.. It is like circuit training and tones your body. You do need to have 3-5 lb weights to go with it, too.

Congrats! That is awesome! I need to measure myself. I just started 5 days ago and still haven't done so and really should so I know what I've lost aside from pounds. Being on vacation can make it tough to keep on track. My inlaws are visiting this weekend and I am not too sure how I will stay on track!

What I would do is get the ones that have veggies and pasta and add frozen veggies to them. I also would have a piece of fruit or a yogurt. You can also pre-make a salad for the day or cook up a giant veggie lasagna and freeze it until you need it. I'd separate it into individual portions and take what you need out the day…

I am going to join the banwagon here and say WOW! You look amazing!!!!! Great job and congrats on your success!!!

Popcorn shouldn't be bad. Just limit it a bit perhaps.. are you eating movie theater butter on a normal size bag, or are you eating a 100 calorie mini bag? That's what I eat.. in both butter and the kettle corn. It's a good snack and they are a decent size package!

How much time did it take for you to lose those inches doing those reps/weight?

I've always been told that for women it is best to do low weight and high repititions because you want to tone, not bulk up like a weight trainer competing.. if you do high weights and less reps you will gain more muscle but may wind up looking like a body builder. Depends what you are going for.. toning or gaining muscle.

If you are working out often you are probably gaining muscle. This will increase the weight on the scale but you are trimming down and firming up. I had lost 15 lbs a few years ago but had dropped 3 clothing sizes.. I was working out like a mad-woman so I had gained a lot of muscle. I didn't lose many pounds but I lost a…
