Thank you JoiMichele! I am working them, but it doesn't show yet. Glad you're back with us. :smile: I've got a super busy week ahead, so I will have to work harder to get my Shred in, but I won't be able to do it Sat. I am catering a breakfast / lunch and I will be exhausted by the time I get home. As long as I do my…

Well, its been quiet on here this weekend. I ate a bagel with ff cream cheese and a bit of jam ... Ugh! I paid for it hours later. My tummy really hurt! Then as the day went on, the pain got lower. Hard to believe a bagel could ruin a beautiful Saturday! I don't want to have these issues when I decide to eat something that…

You tummy is smaller, and your hips too! Great job with 15 days to go. I noticed more change in Level 2 when I did it the first time. XOXO

Welcome Jayne! You are going to love the results of doing 30DS, it melts the inches away!! Keep posting here, so we can cheer you on. Many have joined in the beginning, but so few actually do the 30 days. I think there are 3 of us who are really committed to doing this (just a few days into our second time). JoiMichele and…

Thanks JoiMichele, I am much better today. Double L1 D4 done and some walking time as well. I have a yoga class tonight, so I'll be adding those cals burned too. Hubby and band have gone to a private biker's party, didn't want me going with such a tough crowd. So I might meet up with friends after class. But I am worried…

I love it so much, I started all over again 4 days ago, doing double sessions! I hope you enjoy it as well. :smile:

Fantabulous! You're in better shape than most teens! LOL Congrats!

Thank you for the suggestion, I will get myself a band and start tomorrow!

I drink a protein shake after to help with muscle repair and recovery. Also, if you can fit in your other normal workouts, go for it. You will see results quicker with other cardio / weight training, but if you get too sore from the 30 DS, wait until the soreness subsides before doing normal stuff. Happy Shredding!

It would depend on your activity setting, if you have "sedentary" as your activity level, I would say yes. Otherwise, I would log maybe half of the minutes. Either way, its good exercise for you and the toddler.

When the guy calls you by your sister's name in the middle of sex. It kinda ended that relationship fast!

Inskydiamonds ~ I make the traditional green bean casarole every Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Thank you so much for posting this lite version. I will make it this weekend for hubby to try.

Monkey didn't post it here, but she lost 3 pounds since her last weigh-in!! I'm so proud of her and her accomplishments. I can't wait to see her before / after pics. I didn't do my 30DS yesterday because of the combo of the weather and those extra crunches (opposite armpit to knee). It felt like I had been hit by a truck!…

Really great results! You should be proud of your new body. Keep going. I was so thrilled when I finished 30DS, I started again the next day!

This is my own recipe, but inspired by a local Chinese buffet. I don't know what they use for the pickled veggie, but this is pretty close. Dilly Green Beans 250 g (2 1/2 cups) fresh green beans, washed & snapped (or one can, drained) 3 dill pickle spears, chopped 1 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup water (1/4 c if using canned) 1…

:happy: Thank you Marvin! Any other men willing to show us ladies?

YUM! I love man booty! But I was hoping to see more :(

Tell them that it gives you horrible stinky gas and no one in the office would enjoy the results! I would never lack the self confidence / respect to ABSOLUTELY refuse! But I understand that some people aren't as "selfish" as I am, so tact and sometimes compromise is necessary. I am so sorry that someone would do that to…

OMG! I'm no "heavy lifter" and I breath hard. Is this a spoof or for real? A "lunk alarm"? HAHA How stupid is that!

Yes, but add them slowly. My friend's hubby works outside as well, and she says he eats almost 1500 - 2000 more in the winter (Maine). But he has no weight issue. Try some healthier fats and maybe do a minute of jumping jacks to warm up your body throughout the day. The body has to burn calories to keep warm!

Try listing the separate ingredients and see what you get. Or create your own recipe in the recipe section (Cloneme's scrambled eggs).

This is so true! Show off your new body.

Bananas are quick to grab on the way out the door (for the busy person) and are a whole lot better than McDonalds or a candy bar, when you're out running errands and hungry. Yes they are higher in cals, but darn yummy when you are craving something sweet. **doing Chitiqua banana dance**

I don't eat much of Indian / Thai food, but couldn't you ask for the sauce on the side? Of you could do a double 30DS tomorrow? Its just 8:30 and having coffee. My ribs are sore, must be from doing extra side crunches (which I don't log). I've noticed my arms are toning up nicely, but Jillian doesn't do any triceps moves.…

Agreed! The purpose is to motivate, not kill people off. :smile:

Monkey ~ Its 9 pm here (2 am there?) so you're in bed. Understand the ham thing now. Too tired to eat much, so just had half a peanut butter sand only because I needed hi cals. Tired from the snack shack ... taking a shower and headed to bed. Sweet dreams everyone! XOXO

You done good, Monkey! But add the ham in your lunch, it shows "0 slices". I wonder if I'll ever be able to run ...

Too expensive in my opinion (I drink too much coffee), but the assortment of flavors is nice. The coffee is strong enough for my taste, but you could always add less water. And it doesn't fill the house with the aroma of fresh brewed coffee! I would wear coffee perfume if it were available. My father-in-law has one, spends…
