Hi everyone! Due to Hurricane Irene, we lost power late Saturday night/early Sunday morning and did not get power back until today at 1pm. needless to say I have not been getting workouts in. Last workout was Thursday night. I am planning on doing Ripped Week 2 Day 3 tonight after work however it has been a truly…

Hiya guys! My last post was Tuesday; work got busy the remainder of the week and I have been trying to keep up with exercising. Wed: Did C25K Week 4 Day 1 and Jillian Michael Six Week Six Pack Level 1 Thurs: Ripped Week 2 Day 2. Skipped the Abs DVD because it was late by the time I started the DVD Fri:...Skipped my…

I have had a Polar F6 for years and I love it. It's a chest strap and watch. If your comes with a chest strap that yes you must use the chest strap. For the most accurate results, you want one with a chest strap. You will hardly know that you have it on. If you are going to use the HRM in public, be sure to get one that…

You have what is called Tremor Envy, ha ha. My husband has it. Where do you live? I'm in Queens, NY but work in Midtown Manhattan.

I use it! Not sure how to add you, though

So enjoyed my day of rest yesterday! Today at work (in NYC) we were evacuated due to the earthquake so I had to walk down from the 19th floor and then back up again. So that was a nice mini workout! Tonight I did Ripped Week 2 Day 1 and Level 1 of Six Week Six Pack. 2 minutes of cardio in plank? Seriously? Those two moves…

We felt it here in NYC. I work on the 19th floor. First I felt a head rush, like when you get out of a chair to quick and a nauseous head spinning feeling rushes to your brain. But I was sitting down so I said to myself “Uh oh, that’s not good!”. Then a picture behind me started swaying, and the 8 foot wall of glass next…

That do not need to be kept cold, heated up, and you don't want to use a thermos? Why are you limiting yourself? Insulated lunch totes are a great way to keep you sandwich and salad cool until lunch time and you can even toss a yogurt or string cheese in or some hummus for your veggies. Veggies, fruits, nuts, pretzels,…

I have a 32oz Weight Watcher mug that I fill up at night and first thing in the morning I take it out of the fridge and carry it with me throughout the house. Never leave the house without a water bottle in your bag. Also, I have a desk job so I always make sure I have my 32 oz water cup on my desk. I ever have my Outlook…

More info please. How long have you been "stuck"? How long have you been losing weight, and how much have you lost?

What has the doctor say? Are you not allowed to workout at all? Or can you workout but with restrictions due to mobility? They do have chair workout DVDs. I think Collage Video has them in their speciality section.

It's hard to compare Ripped with Six Pack because Ripped will target the whole body where as Six Pack is more for your ab area. I don't use Six Pack as a stand alone workout, I use it as a supplement. For example, i will do Ripped and skip Ripped's cool down and continue my workout with Six Pack. And Six pack will…

I would say that he did “half his time”. Getting to know someone on the internet/phone is completely different then meeting someone in person. I would suggest to the friend that they use this first weekend as more opportunity to get to know each other without complicating things with sex.

What results, positive or negative, have you seen so far?

What areas are you looking to improve upon? I have both DVDs. I would said to do the Shred it with weights. I don't use the 6 week 6 pack as a stand alone workout, I use it as a supplement. For example, i will do Ripped and skip Ripped's cool down and switch of to 6 week 6 pack. I haven't gone back to the Shred it With…

Happy Monday everyone! I hop you had a great weekend! I got all of my workouts in this weekend: Friday: C25K Week 3 Day 2 and JM 6 Weeks 6 Pack Level 1 Saturday: Ripped Level 1 Day 7 (couldn't find Level 2, it was hiding under the couch!) and JM 6 Weeks 6 Pack Level 1 Sunday: C25K Week 3 Day 3 and JM 6 Weeks 6 Pack Level 1…

Nothing worse then squeezing into a shirt or pants that just about fit you in the morning and then later during the day it looks like it shrank two sizes!

It sounds like a lot, but truly it's not. It equates to about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes a day, 6 days a week. I wish I had time for more, but I am out of the house 10 or 11 hours a day for work. I am lucky to have a family that understand I need an hour to myself to workout. I get home at about 6:30, take 15 minutes…

I had this DVD and did it once a long time ago, but then I broke it. :( I do love her No More Trouble Zones; the two were made to go hand in hand. NMTZ kicks my BUTT each and every time. When that DVD comes back into rotation I literally groan when it's time to start. I've seen great results as well as nice toning and…

And never under estimate the power of walking! Start a walking routine. Once you can consistently walk at a brisk pace at least 30 minutes 3x a week, start thing about becoming a runner. The Couch to 5K is a great running program for beginners that you should check out. There is also free apps for it! This program is so…

I am a Lifetime Member at WW and was even a receptionist there for a time. I did WW many times until finally in 2007 I had enough when I reached an all-time high of 265 pounds. I was able to get to 145 but then I couldn’t get the scale to budge any longer so I switched to maintenance for a few months. Then when the new…

Hmm when I click on the link it brings me to the thread. It's in the Fitness Forums. If you click on my post count number you should be able to find it in my threads. I do not follow Jillian's food plan. I lost all my weight on Weight Watchers and exercise. Since March of this year I started counting calories, sometime…

Last night I did Week 1 Day 6 as well as Jillian's 6 Week 6 Pack Level 1. Level one of Ripped has been pretty easy for me so I have been really focusing on form. Tonight is a running night for me, so C25K W3D2 and Jillian's Abs.

I have a Droid and I have a free app, I think it's called Period Tracker. I just started using it a few months ago. I am highly irregular. I just got my period todat, just 24 days since my last one. The month before that it was 28 days.

From my experience, EVERYONE is different when it comes to eating your exercise calories. You'll have to play around with your numbers and see what works for you. You may find that you can eat them and still have great losses.

I am on Week One Day 6 and am loving it. I just joined a thread on these boards that may interest you. It's a bunch of people who are doing this DVD and post their thoughts. You can find it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/308549-jillian-michaels-ripped-in-30

I agree that you should test your scale by putting on some hand weights. I test my scale each time before a weigh in. You also need to be consistent with your "weigh in" routine. Try to weigh in just once a week, at the same time of day. For example, I weigh in each Saturday morning from home. I get up, use the bathroom,…

Juliane1986, thank you for the welcome. I enjoy JM’s 6 week 6 pack. I have found that I need to keep up with a constant regimen of ab exercises in order to keep the flab in control. It’s the first area I gain weight, and the last area where I lose it from. The DVD is two levels; level one for three weeks and level two the…

I will be following this as well!

Hi everyone! I have just about every Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, and the Biggest Loser DVDs. LOL My current workout regime include Jillian’s Ripped (tonight will be Week 1 Day 6). I will be alternating Ripped with the C25K running plan. I am currently on week 3. I am also throwing in Jillian’s 6 Week 6 Pack. I just…
