Yes on the Beano. I'm vegetarian so I tend of eat a lot of beans. But I've started using dried beans and I must not be soaking/cooking quite long enough. Is alcohol a problem for anyone?

I have actually had good results in the last few days just switching from whole wheat bread english muffins in the morning to plain. It goes against every "healthy" fiber of my being to eat like that. Sigh. No lettuce in the last few days either.

I'm trying to do it. Only on stage one, but I have quickly hit the need for heavier weights.

I know this has been asked before, and I did try looking for it... How high is your "step" on the step-up? On this thread, I have seen shin high, 24" (WOW!), and 12 inches. I'm using 10 inches. That's the highest stable thing I have around without using a chair (too high for me).

I'll be doing 3A tomorrow. I'm kind of on the lowish end of weights. I tried going up on weights on a few things but I feel like my joints (knees, shoulders) are going to fail on me and I don't want to hurt myself. Anyone else?

yump

I just got it this past weekend, so no results to share. I'm still working through reading it in my negative spare time, ha, ha. I have started the first exercises but trying to be cautious to not aggravate knees, shoulder, back issues. There is a huge active group with lots of helpful info.…

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'm just going to start with backing off the coffee, although I only drink one regular size mug. Since it adds no nutritional value seems like it should be the first to go. I have all this beautiful lettuce in my garden that I want to eat but I'm a bit afraid.

I'm considering this too. Weight is not my issue, I'd like to tone my legs and rear and lose some size/fat in those areas. I have been doing 2 Jillian workouts a day and it's just not getting me very far. It has improved my fitness and gotten me back into working out, but that's about it.

I love my few MFP friends but would like more. I'm 39 (40 is looming), 5' 6'' and probably 135 pounds (haven't weighed in a month and don't really care). I have never looked "in shape" even though I was thanks to biking and pilates. But now with a 3 year old, I'm just trying to get a little less squishy in my legs. No time…

So what if you left a note for the people below you asking them to let you know if it bothered them?

This is disgusting. Who wants to walk around with a tube in your nose unless it's actually medically necessary?

Funny, I'm somewhat doing the same thing. I hate the gym and don't really have a time I can go anyway so I'm trying to do both everyday. I'm also pear shaped. I have done RI30 before. I saw some definition change but no size change so I'm trying both together now in hopes of more success. I started KBT before but had to…

I was doing the DVD 5-6 days a week with nothing on the days off because I was either too busy or too tired.

Also - I HATE SCISSOR KICKS!

Day 4 done. Where is everyone? I'm the last 3 replies on here!

Day 3 done. I took yesterday off. More like I was just too exhausted to work out when I finally had time at 9:30PM.

Not the most effective round because I kept having to move the mat around and switch weights (supersourbubble - Are you using 8's for this round!?!). I disliked round 3 because it seemed to aggravate every ache/pain that I have (shoulder, back, knee). Round 4 - not so bad. It's still hard, especially the cardio, but it's…

I did first day of week 3 and I really didn't like it. Maybe it's just that I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Some very strange moves.

I have no idea how to log days when I have a rest day inbetween. So I'll just say I did Week 2 Day 4 last night. I took a day off Wednesday, that made last night much easier. But I'm not saying it was easy!

ddamore - 30DS will definitely get you started on tightening up. I'm on ripped in 30 now. Do planks, planks, and planks some more. I would love to see definition in the side of my thigh (quad) again. I haven't seen that for several years.

Okay, that ranged from "not so bad" to "you want me to do what with my leg?" I'll at least finish this being more coordinated.

Day 4 done.

I hate working out after 9PM, but I Day 3 in.

Day 2 finished. I'm already do far behind you all!

I just started today too.

I feel like I just met all my body twins!!! Should we start a clothing company? I detest trying on 50 pairs of pants to find one that fits. Eddie Bauer Blakely Fit cotton stretch are my best fit for work pants. They are usually pricey, but I saw them once for $21. I bought 4 pairs. I haven't bought jeans for probably 10…

Granted, I didn't do my top half measurements but I'm not real happy because I only lost 1.5 inches. Absolutely zero off my thighs!!!

I feel so behind. But here I am, day 26.
