Well thats it, I am on to round two of the 30ds... Never took a day off the first time, not going to miss a day this time either, it will be cool to see how many inches are lost this time!

Yep, lost 12 pounds! Did not measure my waist before that though... DARNITT I wonder how bad it was before! lol

Let me tell you that makes me feel wayyyyy better! :) I want these darn things off now

you are not alone FOR SURE

I love veggies and fruit, my main problem is I can not keep them in the house, I have four kids a husband and my brother who all ive with me and they will eat it all before I ahve a chance, I can not afford to buy mass quanities of this stuff every week, one income in the house for a lot of people, I bought the low sodium…

yep.. Iknow... I have been eating about 1700 plus any exercise cals which is about 650 a day extra... so damn I end up at around 2200 a day!!! thas seems like so much, and If I were to count the amount of ounces I actually make I would be needing to eat even more!!! that is the problem... I need to know if I can just log…

Man I must be lucky... my milk supply has never suffered from working out or weight loss that was reasonable (2lbs)... when I first joined this site I did not add in bf cals... never even crossed my mind I was losing like 5 lbs a week and my milk decreased so I quit using the site.. then I talked to the DR and he said just…

I appreciate the advice, and the thoughts... I am overweight though by a large margin I weigh 200 poiunds, I can stand to lose the weight and still maintain a health supply for my baby, I eat healthy and have clearance from both my PCP and her ped! I feel safe losing weight the healthy way, I just want to make sure she…

I did everything, I worked with her for 5 months endlessly and tirelessly... she had an undiagnosed tongue tie... she became a hyper-billi baby becasue she chould not transfer... well instead of the LC checking her mouth for issues she game a nipple shield without telling me what it would do.. my baby was five days old...…

Striving to lose weight is not healthy nor wise while pregnant. HOWEVER, and a big however, if you are overweight or obese living a healthy and active lifestyle that results in the loss of excess weight, but steady growth for your unborn baby is healthy. You should not be restricting your diet except to make it a healthy…

This is what I base my criteria on, just needed some opinions...thanks guys! it just seems like a lot of calories to burn doing something so simple like step ups, although they do kick my butt!!! OK great... again thanks all.

I will second the APPLE JUICE, I forgot to mention this, I 100% apple juice allday long, it softens the stones to some degree because of the acid, it basically makes it hurt less often and less in general, hoever, it is not a cure! But certainly drink it if you like it.

I just had mine removed five months ago, after I had my baby I lost the pregnancy weight too quickly, two weeks. and it caused my gallbaldder to fail... Extreme loss or gain, pregnancy hormones, and high fat foods can cause gallstones and or failure of the gallbladder. ( I have a medical background).... No fat.. you can…

I just completed day seven today, I too was in horrific pain on day two, god I could have died every time I had to use the restroom, I stood all day becasue sitting scared the life out of me hahahahaha... anyways so day three came and I said I am going to get through this, and the only way I am going to get through this is…

That looks amazing, my absolute favorite holiday food, I would eat a whole pie everyday if that was not INSAINE!!! lol... Totally going to try, maybe even make them and serve them for thanksgiving, share the love and the health I say! :)

OOPs missed the no mayo,,, unless you havea really cool subway by you, they will not make a tuna sub without mayo because they prepare it with mayo everyday.

I worked at subway for five years when I was younger.... take my advice make your own... for one package = to three 5 oz cans of tuna they mix in 3 CUPS!!!! of real full fat mayo.... ooooh so not good... plus a loaf of bread three cans of tuna and a package of low fat cheese eaquas out to HUGE savings because you can eat a…

great question, did not consider this

Thank you so much, you give me hope :) I am scared to see what level two and three are like. I should buy a measuring tape and find out my inches.... anyone that is doing the 30 day shred are you following your normal diet and calorie restriction or are you using jillians diet?

That makes youe a REAL man.... girl push ups are for those who want to get better... trying real push ups with the wrong form gets you no where. :) glad to see some men doing the 30 day shred... where I am from most men refuse to watch a workout video and actually do the exercise they think its too girly and wont work them…

ooooooh thank goodness I am not the only one that FELT it their first time. I still can not believe it, but yes it hurts so good!!!

do not be scared. It was intense do not get me wrong but I am glad I did it... I just could not believe 20 minutes could feel like that. You will do awesome, stick to your plan start monday!!!

I was a runner in high school (before my child baring years) and our coaches always had us freezee dixie cups full to the top with water and freezse them, then you can rub them on your muscles after each workout or weight lifting episode. This loosens the muslces and lets them repair faster and relieves pain and swelling.…

what all do i need for this work out DVD? Weights, mats, bands, jump rope ect.. ???

This is my first time, I am buying the dvd tonight, wanted to start tomorrow as well. I do not now how these little groups work where everyone commits to the same activity, but I am game! I cant wait to see what happens.

Thank you, I am going to the store, noe, just looked it up to make sure they have it. I am excited to add a new challenge to my day! Glad to hear there are ways to make it thru it with modified moves and a step up program, that helps with the confidence, I was kinda scared. Thanks again. Here is to a new routine!

I keep hearing a lot of great things about the 30 day shred. Is this something you recommend to someone like me who is still starting out. I am 210 pounds, I am not a stranger to working out, I have done pilates for many years and I am not afraid to work out if it is something that works and something I like. Anyone like…

Thank you all for your responses, they were all helpful in their own ways. I will just have to get up and do it, maybe I will get up earlier in the morning ( use to no sleep after all these years :laugh: ) and take a baby monitor with me. Am so lucky I have a wonderful husband who will help but the guilt eats at me for…

I was not taking into account the amount of milk my baby was eating which is a lot of calories, plus i wasnt eating the extra calories you are to consume while nursing, sooooo my milk depleated a lot, my baby ws not happy, but now its all back to normal and I am counting all of my nursing calories so that I eat enough for…
