Good evening! Today I did the 30DS. I love that workout (although I want to punch Jillian about half way through!! LOL!!!)

You look FABULOUS!!!!! Great job!!!!! Any tips for those of us just starting out???

Sounds perfect!!!! I only have her 30 DS DVD....what are some other really great ones??? I would like to pick up another one this week!!! I'm excited!!! I started a group about a month ago, and had a lot of people join, but I got SOOOO BUSY that I could never find time to log on with my computer (I so wish we could be on…

As far as the not eating after 10 or 11 - I brush, floss, and use mouthwash by 10!!! LOL!!! I'm serious!! If a craving hits in the middle of the day, I will pop in a piece of super minty gum or brush my teeth. Who wants food right after brushing!!! NASTY!!! And if you eat after you have done your whole brush, floss, wash…

32!!!!! Feel free to add me too! I love encouragement (GIVING and receiving!!!!) Have a great weekend all!!

Hmmm....never heard of it, but now I am intrigued!!! =) If you get one, let me know how you like it!! :happy:

I stopped eating all processed foods two weeks ago. So no sugar for me. I didn't know that 60 minutes had a show about that...I will have to check it out. I don't plan on being sugar free forever, but I CERTAINLY am going to kick my affinity for sugar in the booty!!!! Thanks for the info!!!

Thank you all so much for your input. To clear a few things up for those of you upset with me... I am not interested in fad diets. I am not just "giving this a go". One of my closest friends is severely allergic to gluten. If she has the SMALLEST bit of gluten, her body starts to swell up immediately and she feels the…

I would love to be your friend!!! I am in the same "I'm coming back to this site, and a lot of people are MIA" boat!!!

YES YES YES!!!!! This is one of my favorite tricks!!!!!!

Totally notice!!!! She also comes out of her deep squat hold on level 2 when Jillian isn't looking! It makes me laugh every time!! It helps to know that I am not the only one suffering during this workout!!!!! Natalie is in ridiculous shape though!!!! You can't have that body if you are a true slacker!!!!!!

Gorgeous!!! Great job!:smile:

It's so true!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tie-died stripe one, but those (adorable) ties on the bottoms draw your eyes right to them. Not saying you shouldn't go for that one (because I would totally rock it if I could), just know that it draws attention there. You look AMAZING by the way!!!!!

It is a victory!!! It speaks to the changes that you are making and how they are impacting your life!! Keep it up!!!!

It seems crazy that it could work, but pancakes sound delicious - totally worth a try!!!!

May I ask how big they were before the weight loss???

LOVE IT!!!! On one condition - we go up to a sze 12...that's my shoe size (I am 5'10") and it is SOOOOOOO hard to find cute shoes AT ALL!!! BOOTS = IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

LOL Some of these are hilarious!!!!! I'm cracking up! I have never been one who could eat a whole pizza. I can't even imagine! I am good at 2 slices (3 if I am really hungry). I don't really do fast food (other than french fries - mmmmm). I usually make a box of mac and cheese last for 2 or 3 full meals. I have never been…

I never thought that you picked the pictures...I HAVE seen very similar ones on FB and Pintrest, and I have seen women absolutely bash the thinner woman. It's not right (again, as long as the thinner woman is in fact healthy). I also cannot stand the "real woman" thing. I am a plus sized woman. I am a real woman. My size…

I personally am not able to concentrate on a book or magazine when I am working out. If I slowed down my pace - maybe, but I'm not sure. GREAT music usually, but I too enjoy having the TV on when I'm on a treadmill. Whatever distracts me from watching the seconds tic by, or looking at the distance thinking, "Oh, I'm never…

^^^^^EXACTLY!!! While I have been intrigued by the Body Bugg, you have to remember that it's logging EVERYTHING!!! If I wore it at work it would go nuts because I am running around all day at work!!!! You need to only take into account the things that you are doing NOW to be active. You have to play around with it to see…

Unfortunately, I think that people automatically jump to the conclusion that the fit woman MUST BE anorexic, bulimic, or making drastically unhealthy choices to get that body. While it is true that there are far too many women (and young girls) obsessed with weight, and are willing to destroy their bodies to obtain…

Hey guys!!!!!! So glad everyone is doing so well!! I've been MIA on here the last couple of days because my internet is down - SOOO appreciate my iPhone!!!! LOL!!! It has allowed me to keep up on everything - except the community boards! Does anyone know if MFP is trying to get that set up?? I took yesterday off - it felt…

Day 3 - I ran out of steam!!!! LOL!!! I did it before work - NO BUENO!! LOL!!! I was SO exhausted, and SO SORE!!! Not my best effort - tomorrow is going to be MUCH BETTER (and I have to go in super early, so I will get in an evening workout!) LOL!!! Praise God that it's only 20 minutes!!! LOL!!! I almost did it again after…
