Level 3
I know at least one of us who has made it there! Woohoo! (not me, I should be done with level 2 in two more days) Do tell: Is it killer?

Level 2
L2D2 for me, and it seemed *a bit* easier than yesterday. I'm still not squatting and lunging to 90 degrees, I'm a bit slow on the plank jacks (the devil himself designed those), and I outright suck at the double jump rope part (I'm using an actual jump rope). But I did it! It feels sooo good to complete the workout. Every…

Level 1
Although I already completed this level, I thought I'd start a topic so that folks can post their comments on the level they're at...

Back at it after baby
I just got the clearance to work out after my c-section 7 weeks ago. Been on MFP over a year and a half, and I lost 18 lbs in the first 7 months by cleaning up my diet and working out. Now I'm ready to lose the remaining 20 lbs of my 40 lbs pregnancy weight gain! Today I started Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred, and I will…

March 2013 Babies
If there already is a group for March 2013 due dates, I couldn't find it. Would love to connect with other mamas who are due around the same time as me! I just posted my introduction, but here's a summary: It looks like we're having a boy in March, this will be baby number 2 for us (number 1 is an independent first…

Should I reset my ticker postpartum?
I gained a total of 40 lbs during my pregnancy, after having lost 18lbs since joining MFP. I've lost 20lbs in the 3 weeks since birth, but I'm still above my starting weight. Somebody on my FL suggested I reset my ticker, as my status updates only say that I've lost x lbs, but not how much I've lost in total (as the ticker…

7 months healthy eating + 1 month heavy lifting
Down 13lbs since September, from size 10/12 to size 6. Thanks to some wonderfully inspiring MFP friends, I discovered the New Rules of Lifting for Women and have been lifting heavy for a month now. I still have a long road ahead of me, but bouncing around the serious iron has given me a new confidence, so here I am in a…

Help - no barbell at hotel gym. How do I squat and dead lift
Question to all you experienced heavy lifters out there: I'm staying at a hotel that has a somewhat minimalist gym. I'm following the New Rules of Lifting for Women, which require me to do barbell squats and deadlifts, but there's no barbell in the gym. I tried to haul dumbbells on my shoulders - let's just say it didn't…

Shopping list for aspiring Vegan?
I just had a duck egg from the farmer's market. I don't know why, but it grossed me out so much that I don't think I'll be able to eat eggs, like, ever again. Which made me think: How about I go clean by the time my birthday comes around this week? I've been trying to cut out all animal products from my diet, anyway, but…

Week 4...hello world!
A life-long yo-yo dieter, I've decided to become serious about sustainable weight loss. I don't know exactly how it happened (the impending 4-0 certainly didn't help), but over the past 3 years I gained close to 30 pounds, to a point where the extra weight is the main thing on my mind. Which is a pity, because there are so…
