I just started the 30DS on monday and it's great! I'm sore, but it feels good. Working on form and trying to keep up with the push ups and bicycles. I can do 10 knee pushups in a row, stop then do a few more. tomorrow I'll push for 12-15 in a row and keep working up from there. the only part I can't seem to do is the lower…

Did I say all that out loud? :bigsmile:

Did I kill this thread? :noway:

Is everyone still asleep?

Shouldn't you go to bed?

Great work everyone!! Happy Thursday! Got in over 11000 steps yesterday and stayed at about 75 net carbs (yay) Worked out with a 45 min Zumba class and the 30 day shred. I'm sore, but feel great! Getting ready to do 30min of cardio, then 30day shred and Treadmill during lunch. I'm going to weigh in tomorrow. Have a…

Is that the same as a rule of thumb?

Great workout...the ab coaster sounds evil! Don't let the scale discourage you, all of your efforts will pay off in the long run especially cardiovascularly. I haven't seen the scale budge in a month, but I know I'm healthier - I feel better and I have more stamina. The scale will eventually submit!

Yeah, I couldn't believe it...it only took about 10min to do 20 flights...up & 20 flights down. My legs are pretty sore though! :)

You go Res! Good job poking out that evil hunger! Oh, earplugs work for the snoring, at least that is what my hubby does when I snore too much! I got 7900 steps, but "ran" stairs last night for a total of 20 floors. I should get my 10000+ steps in today, it's my Zumba day! 120 carbs - 43 fiber = net of 77 carbs. A little…

Didn't get quite to 10000 steps - 7900, but I did get 20 flights of stairs! Yay

Didn't get up this morning to do the 30 day shred, so grabbed a couple of co-workers and we did 30DS during lunch today. It felt soooo good! I'll do another work out this evening, probably the Kinect Your Fitness Evolved...I'm addicted to it. So far today, I'm a little low on steps: 4142 and 3 flights of stairs. Gotta get…

that looks delicious, Calie! mmmmm

Hi Phil, You pretty much enter the standard stuff- height, weight, date of birth, goal weight and how much you want to lose each week. I set mine up as close to MFP as I could. It seems to be working out pretty well. I just wish the activity would transfer over to MFP without me entering it in. But as Long as the time and…

Yep, I've got a fitbit. So far I have 9052 steps and 14 flights of stairs, burned 2182 cals. I've done 2 workouts today, I thought about running stairs later, but I'm pretty beat at this point. I've had 103 carbs and 16g fiber. A little more net carbs than I usually have, but I treated myself to 1 serving of tortilla chips…

Welcome, Yarwell. I am so glad that is not you in that picture! :) I'm working on lowering my carbs so i'm not maintaining, but losing (slowly). Currently I'm at around 50-75 net carbs/day. I may need to change it to 30-50, but want to see if this works first. Good luck on your journey!

^^^ I thought I was the only one with 2 bellies... I've got the same issue, trying to get rid of both!!!

Got a great start today. Started off my morning with the 30 day shred, and I feel great! Won't be going to Zumba today, so I'll do another workout this afternoon. I'm going to take the stairs at work as much possible. We are going to a wine tasting this evening, so I need to make sure to adjust my calories, carbs and…

I haven't decided yet. If the weather holds out, we may go hiking, but since it rained yesterday and today, hiking may be a muddy mess. I'll definitely do dance central 2 or my fitness evolved on saturday morning to get my day started. If it is nice outside but too muddy, then we'll probably go walking around downtown and…

I use a fork or spoon when necessary; otherwise, I use my hands and put it in my mouth, chew, then finally swallow. :bigsmile:

^^^^^^^^^^^ Love this!!! WTG girl!

I hear ya, Damuchi. I did NOT want to get up an work out this morning, but I knew I wasn't going to get my lunch workout...so I had to get up and get moving. I just told myself 15 min then I'll do another work out later. But once I got started I went ahead and did 30 min and I felt so much better. Sometimes the hardest…

Wow, pretty cool, Resalyn. I'm still getting used to the fitbit and how it syncs with MFP. So far, I love it!! I climbed 12 floors yesterday (the tallest snowman lol). I would like to try and get that + more everyday. So far today I have 8 floors.

I posted a recipe (EDIT: on page 7 of this topic) that uses the full fat cream cheese and the egg yolks. :) It has more calories, but tastes much better!

no pancake mix, only the ingredients listed. :) The more you whip the egg whites, the fluffier the pancakes.

it's okay, we all blow it once in a while. Just don't let it ruin your whole day...eat right the rest of the day and try and work off those extra carbs. Taking ownership is a good thing!

due to meetings at work, I did not get to my Zumba class, but I did walk 1.5 miles in 20 min this evening and I walked up six flights of stairs. I may end up playing Dance Central on the Kinect tonight to get a little more exercise in. I'll also have to get up early to work out tomorrow due to another hectic work schedule.…

Thanks for the invite! My name is Tracy, l currently weigh 217 and am looking to lose about 70 lbs. I've been having a hard time trying to keep the weight off. I'm 41 and I have PCOS. I know that low carb works well for me, but I need to do it in a way that I can keep it up for life. I always start out great, then go back…

yes, I try to keep my net carbs below 75. I try to get the majority of my carbs from fruits, veg , beans etc. Adding lots of fiber. I will have the occasional low carb or corn tortilla, but try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible. feel free to add me

I do agree with you on UFC trainer. We bought it before Your Shape 2012. I like your shape much better, but hubby likes to keep UFC for variety. I'll probably not be using UFC much now. (plus I got mad when it wouldn't count the pushups I could barely do)
