I'm in! SW: 188 CW: 157 GW: 140 (out of overweight) UGW: maybe 130? I'm doing the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution right now but I'm not eating within my calorie goal... gotta work on that!

WOW that was tough - definitely agree with soybeaner and kjcassidy - going to be sore tomorrow. For comparison, I burned 325 calories during this workout, but workouts 1 & 2 burned around 225-250 calories each.

I've noticed it's more lbs the higher the size (As others have pointed out) and I carry a lot of fat around my stomach. I was a size 12 at 188 and probably 168. But then I went down to a size 10 from the mid 160s to now at 157. I'm a size 8 in a few pairs of dress pants I have too... it's more like my butt is a size 8 and…

THIS. It's hard to explain to people but this really captures the "just do what you said you were going to do" and staying true to your goals!

DONE WITH WEEK 2!!! I doubled up on phase 2 and cardio again because I wasn't able to work out once during the week. feeling awesome!

How sweet that she was jumping around! I've lost 4.8 lbs so far... but I gained that around Christmas so that came off quickly (and 1 lb of that was definitely water weight from eating out)

Done! Feeling great!

I've been vegetarian for 5 years. My typical day is oatmeal, based on recipes here: http://www.theoatmealartist.com/ Lunch is a spinach salad with grapes and goat cheese, or leftovers for dinner. Or eggs w/ toast and veggies if I'm home on the weekend. Dinner can be beans, veggies, rice, quinoa, etc. Lots of one pot meals.…

Ok here's how my steps and calories break down for the past 2 workouts: Day 1 workout: 500 steps, 225 calories via HRM Day 2 workout & Cardio 1 (did both today to make up for missing a workout earlier this week): 3,000 steps (me puttering around, getting dressed and to end of workout). Workout 2 burned 215 calories, Cardio…

day 6 complete! I did exercise 2 and cardio today since I missed a workout earlier this week. It was definitely harder to do them in a row because my muscles were a little sore, but I could still do it and the hour flew by.

OMG I love the pep talks and the energy too! It's so awesome. It's also much more fastpaced than 30DS... you go from move to move so quickly. I'm not reaching for water every 5 seconds during the strength workouts since they aren't as cardio focused. W1D4 is tomorrow for me... I had to skip this AM's workout. Going to…

I'm using a heart rate monitor tomorrow and will let you know what my burned calories are! I got one so I could actually log the accurate amount. Of course, it depends on the person but it will at least give us an idea. I agree w/ the fitbit - I don't bother/worry about the lack of steps tracked because I know it's not…

Starting weight is 159.6 on Monday am, which was Day 1 for me. Want to lose whatever I can but not going crazy with diet (1200-1500 calories). Goal weight for now is 135-140 (140 is "normal" BMI range for my height), so I'll what I look like when I get there. Current size: 10.

If you have a Harbor Freight near you, they sell an inexpensive digital scale (meant for postage I'm sure), measures in ounces, grams, pounds. Works great! And they always have 20% off coupons.

I'm in... as soon as it comes in the mail!

Fellow vegetarian here! I also ran across this group in another thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/45-happy-herbivores

Ok, we are in September now... but I'll be going on Level 2 day 6 tomorrow!

Amazing ideas! How to: http://www.averiecooks.com/2011/04/tofu-tips.html And a favorite recipe of mine: http://ohsheglows.com/2012/01/18/easy-weeknight-dinner-crispy-breaded-tofu-strips-sweet-potato-fries/ I've also seen stuff abut tofu fries - freeze it and thaw, and it changes the texture a bit.

Congratulations, you deserve it for all your hard work!

I just joined this group. There's a recipe thread :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/45-happy-herbivores

Yoga was awesome! And did level 2 day 3 today. I do not have bad knees but this level 2 is killer on them!

Yoga tonight so no 30DS... but tomorrow morning I'l be shredding ;) I know, where is everyone?? Are you making a Sept group?

level 2 day 2 done today! what a core workout... wow

I'm here! Still mixing up the 30DS with other activity.. just started Level 2!

I did some research on this a few years ago and found that PB2 is essentially defatted peanuts, which is the same thing as peanut flour. So I looked up peanut flour and found Southern Grace Farms and Byrd Mill, which gives you the most bang for your buck:…

Vegetarian here who can appreciate the vegan/plant-based lifestyle! I tend to eat a lot of vegan recipes.

That sounds like fun! I am almost on Level 2 so I have to finish that up. After that, I was thinking of doing Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism (although it looks super hard!) in conjunction with No More Trouble Zones. I read somewhere that it was a good combo to do.

I'm going on day 8 of level 1 tomorrow! I've started to memorize it and all of the little sayings she says... LOL :) My weight has been a little stagnant but I'm hoping it's just building muscle :) as I mentioned before... I haven't been doing it consistently since I've been doing yoga too. I think I need a 30DS September…

Day 5 today.. I'm a little behind and haven't been doing it consistently. Jillian said on one of her podcasts that this was not meant to be done 30 days in a row, make sure to take rest days!

Yes! I did it 2 weekends ago and couldn't walk until Wednesday and my left inner thigh hurt until Friday. I did it this past weekend and was only sore for a day or 2, so it WILL get better. I need to start back up again... going head first tomorrow! MY weight loss has become stagnant... reducing calories to 1,200 and…
