Wow, already almost halfway through June but just found this thread so jumping in. SW: 145.8 GW: 115 (but obviously not all in June :) )

Me too!! I've only done Week 2 once but I really felt it in my arms and especially my shoulders. I thought I might be doing the planks poorly because I didn't feel it so much in the abs but then again, I do a lot of ab work so it may be tougher to get sore there. My glutes really felt it with Week 1, and a little with Week…

Thank you all who shared your similar struggles! It helps to see others talk about their experience with the same battle. Thanks for the encouraging words and ideas on how to conquer the scale :bigsmile: I currently weigh myself on 2 different scales (had to keep the old scale after I bought a new one) and record my weight…

I'm guessing water retention. I shouldn't have put in specifics of pounds gained and lost, just showing an example of how I get frustrated by the random fluctuations. Looking for help from those who have been in my shoes of compulsively weighing in and letting that derail your progress and if applicable, how you broke out…

I understand that there are water fluctuations, that's kind of what I'm getting at by asking the question. That said, I still can't seem to let go of the weigh-ins, or how disappointed I am when they don't go the way I'm hoping. Mainly looking for advice from anyone who has successfully broken this addiction and gone on to…

@rsoice - great idea to mix it up! I may buy one of the Shred videos down the road and alternate like that to keep things fresh @DAM5412 - Agree!! I thought I was in good shape until I invited Jillian over haha.. scared about week 2 let alone week 4! @PearshapedBar - that's all she's asking .. for our best :) I figure if I…

I'm not doing the shred but I'm doing Ripped in 30 so I think it's the same idea. I do cardio at the gym in the morning and JM at night after work. Since it's only 34 minutes I don't dread doing it that way.

Last night I did Day 1 of Week 1 .. it was TOUGH. I had to pause it twice to catch my breath and get a few sips of water. I was suprised because I was also modifying many of the exercises to the easier modification. Today my lower body is very sore (as I expected it would be with all the balancing) but not my upper body so…

Is this really 20 minutes? Saw it on youtube and it seems more like 30-35? Looks awesome though! Also, does she tell you what weights to use or do you just do what's comfortable? You do the same workout each day for 6 days then a day of rest then do week 2? Bunch of questions sorry...

Great idea! found a bunch of them on youtube.. just started watching the intro where she talks about the program .. this is my problem: "One caveat, You can eat your way through any amount of exercise." So true!

Chalean Xtreme looks good too! Ahhh how to decide!

Thanks Jillian_fan! She has 3 videos that I'm debating .. Ripped in 30, 30 Day Shred and the Body Revolution.. guess i'll go on Amazon to see what reviewers are saying - I only want to start with one for now.

Starting weight (3/3/10): 142.0 Current weight (3/10/14): 140.5 Percentage lost: 1.05%

Victoria's Secret models used to be much curvier. Someone mentioned Marissa Miller and Adriana Lima .. both gorgeous. Although the models are all beautiful, I do think they've gone to a much too skinny (scrawny) look overall. Would like to see more curves.

Thanks for the info and encouragement! I couldn't do HIIT by day 2 in the past, I could barely do the lowest level for 20-30 mins, I felt drugged I was so sluggish. I am only on day 1 of Induction right now but I think this time around I may try to concentrate on strength training and walking (perhaps with an incline) for…

Are you doing Atkins? I took a look at your food diary and I see you're also eating Atkins bars and Bryer's smart carb bars. I would suggest cutting those out. I know they satisfy a craving but they can stall people. I think you'd be better off to do a low carb whole foods approach. Meats, eggs, veggies and also fruits in…

That actually sounds like food addiction to me. Eating for the sake of eating, even when you're not hungry and eating past the point of being full. I have this problem as well and have to work really hard not to succumb to it. Monday through Friday 7am to 7pm are no problem, but I have but after 7pm and weekends can get…

Thank you for the info! I joined a July group as well as a women's strength training group :)

It is such a disservice to women and can really be dangerous for young girls striving for a body image that doesn't exist anywhere but in pixels.

No matter how i size the photo this forum keeps cropping it.. even when i size it super small.. so you can't see all the notes :(

As if Aisha Tyler isn't already hot enough, crazy how many changes they made to her apperance..

I'd like to join .. hope I'm not too late!

Also interested but sounds as though you may be full.

Posting on other boards I've complied a little list so far. I don't like seafood so I didn't put any of those items on the list and I'm trying to keep it "induction clean" for 2 weeks so I didn't put any nuts on the list either. Hope this helps. pickles pickle wraps bell pepper slices or any other veggies with dip celery…

Thank you all so much for the great ideas! I'm keeping a list of induction-friendly snack ideas. And I agree that I won't have the urge to snack as much .. so far today I have not felt hungry at all which is unusual for me. I just want to be sure I have things at hand in case the urge arises, else I may grab something I…

Thank you both for your replies! My biggest concern right now is work snacks. My office has a full cafeteria so I'll have an omelette for breakfast and a salad with grilled chicken for lunch. But no idea what I can bring in case i get hungry around 3ish. I'm thinking maybe some pickles and deli turkey. Today is going great…
