Chocolate Ice cream mixed with peanut butter! I had to stop reading because I was wondering what some of this stuff was but I do NOT need to know!!!

I love it! We have a guy in our group and I love hearing his take on 30DS, he just bought Ripped in 30 and is going to start that next! WHATEVER WORKS!

My doctor calls it her "Prescription pad diet" she writes on a prescription pad: "No grains, no sugar, no white potatoes". I had gestational diabetes with my 2nd son and family history of Type 2 diabetes and heart problems. I also had a rare condition with both of my pregnancies called postpartum cardiomyopathy. These put…

Well, had to take today off because I've done something to my knee, and decided not to push it! Was actually looking forward to trying to start level 2 today! Oh well, hopefully I can rest today and start tomorrow!

I love hearing everyone's reports!!! Great job everyone! I didn't start level 2 today, watched it, gonna start tomorrow, wish me luck!

The important thing is to try to put the measuring tape at the exact same place every time. Your waist is the narrowest part between your bust and hips, but to keep with the same place, I do 2 inches above my belly button for waist and 3 inches below my belly button for hips (supposed to be widest part but right now I have…

I just finished week 2, lost 8.5 inches and 5.5 pounds. It's definitely worth it!

Here are a few I got off another board: 6 3/4 oz dry lentils, about 1 cup, rinsed 1/2 cup(s) uncooked brown rice 2 cup(s) carrot(s), shredded 3 cup(s) water 1 packet(s) onion soup mix, reduced-sodium preferred 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp olive oil Instructions Rinse lentils. Place rice in large pot, bring…

Ok, boys are napping so I measured: 1) Weight and measurements - 8/22/11 8/28/11 09/5/11 *Weight - 242.0 237.5 236.5 *Neck - 14 14 13.5 *Waist - 39 38 37.5 *Chest - 49 49 48 *HIps - 50 48 46.5 *Arm - 14 14 13 *Thigh - 24 21 21 *Calf - 17 16.5 16 So folks, that's 5.5 total pounds and 8.5 total inches gone! I still can't do…

The only one that I would consider safe and has worked for me are PGX fiber supplements. It is plain and simple fiber. You take 1 or 2 20-30 minutes before your meal and it fills you up so you eat less. Make sure you read the directions AND talk to your dr. first.

Thanks for the encouragement, we've had members drop off too, and also have members who can't seem to find us. If I have time today I'm going to send out some messages to see if they can find us! I'm supposed to start level 2 tomorrow and I am not sure if I am looking forward to it or not!

when I've lost weight before I've gone down band size, but not cup size. However, everyone is different.

I don't mention diet, exercise etc, just that I'm trying to "get healthy". And that's only if someone notices, not something I bring up. My husband of course knows what I"m up to, but IMHO it's not necessary to make public info!

For those of you wondering where everyone is, I've been creating new posts: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/329526-30-day-shred-starting-08-22-11-2nd-monday-check-in

Looks like good results for most everyone! I think mine are so drastic is because I am NOT in the habit of a real work out. Sometimes I'll walk in the evenings but that is with my 4 year old son, so it's not like i get real winded like i do w/ Jillian! I am TERRIFIED to go to the next level!

I was looking for this book on amazon and there are several titles out there, do you know who this book is by?

Add some lemon juice (NO SWEETENER) to that water, acts as a diuretic.

I'm in a group that started on 08/22 and we do have one guy in our group! He says it's a great work out for him. So if it's something you want to try, go for it!

For those looking to report their 2nd monday results, look for this link: TOPIC: 30 Day Shred Starting 08/22/11 - 2nd Monday Check In

Look under "30 day shred start 08/22/11 - 1st Monday check in and ...2nd Monday check in.

I love to bake, mainly because I LOVE to lick the bowl!

I started this past Monday, I agree with the love/hate statements. I'm only on level 1, but it's a good work out. I find I'm sore in different areas, different days. I like that it's only 25 minutes, I log 30 because I march in place while i'm waiting for all the stuff i can't forward through. I REALLY didn't want to do it…

I just bought some plain greek yogurt to attempt that very thing, I have a dip recipe that is sour cream, ranch powder, shredded cheddar and bacon. I'm going to try the greek yogurt, ranch powder, low fat shredded cheddar and low sodium bacon.

Not exercise related, but I find it hysterical in level 1 when Natalie STOPS doing the lunges and just does the arms! I just discovered that you can turn off her voice and listen to the music, but I wish I could keep her voice and play my own music.

For me the pushups are my nemesis. My favorite are anything w/ the weights, makes me feel like a body builder or something!

My Oster is a few years old, so I'm not sure which model it is, but it has the blender pitcher, food processor and 2 individual cups! It is so versatile I love it! The blender works great on ice and frozen fruits!
