Vesicare anyone??
I'm at a loss. I was doing so good with weight loss until about 4 weeks ago. My exercise has been cut back and my eating hasn't been perfect, but I've out on FOUR POUNDS :noway: I can't find much about Vesicare online, but I'm wondering if its the source of my weight gain. I started it about the time my weight started…

Starting to think.......
Maybe my weight gain is from lowering exercise and not eating well lately, I know that..... But 3 weeks ago I started Vesicare for over active bladder issues, and that's when I started to gain.........anyone take this or know of someone who does??? I can't find much online...........

Level 2
OH MY......... And I thought level 1 was tough :noway: I feel sick but I did the non modified moves. I stopped alot, but I feel like if I can do non modified moves and take breaks I will get more out of it than doing the modified moves. How are we all doing tonight?

NEW PLAN
Alright after last week being such a damn bust, with going back to work and all, I have devised a plan!! YAY ME! :drinker: Actually, hubby and I have devised a plan. Though its not ideal, it seems doable. :huh: 1) I'm going to scratch my 2 mile morning runs. I MAY still run them on the weekends, not sure yet. 2) MWF- hubby…

Rough week, gains?
So I had a rough week. Went back to work (I teach) so I didn't exercise as much and I sure as heck didn't eat well for 4 days. I'm up 4 lbs that I had lost. Please tell me it's only a temporary gain and there's no way one can gain 4 lbs in less than a week :sad:

Weird NSV today :-)
So you all know this week has been an epic fail for me in the grand scheme of the summer. Going back to work has kicked me in the rear, like it always does, and once school starts up, I always abandon exercise and healthy eating. I AM ADD, if you hadn't noticed..... Oh look, a PUPPY!! Ok where was I?? Ummm........ Oh yea,…

Beast Mode!
Alright ladies, back with full force from a stressful week!! Hubby got new running shoes and physically feels better. I THINK my body is adjusting to long hours and getting up early (we shall see once I get students on Tuesday!!) went for a run with the hubby this morning, even though it wasn't my 2 mile run, it felt good.…
-
No Ned to be discouraged!
As of this morning I haven't dropped a pound (after only 3 days) BUT, ladies, I have dropped 4 INCHES already!!! 1 on my waist the rest on my thighs. So don't get discouraged!! Also, my rings are looser than before, which is a good sign I'm dropping weight, too. Keep up the great work!!

Day 6- I killed it!
Well, I NAILED IT except for part of the cardio. Not sure why cardio kicks my butt So much on the video! I was able to complete ALL strength and almost all ab work. Did all push ups, even though they were girlie ones! Those damn bicycle crunches will be the death of me!!! I DO feel stronger and have more stamina. Legs are…

Motivation
So frustrated today. It's rained almost every morning for a week so I can't go run like I want to. Second, hubby had been struggling with foot/ankle pain for a few weeks. We got him properly fitted for new running shoes yesterday and found out he is developing Achilles tendinitis, which we don't want, and its caused by a…
-
Day 5- let's discuss progress!
Wow, day 5 was interesting. It's funny, I find the strength segments easier than day 1, but still struggle with the cardio- mainly butt kicks and jump rope. After running for 8 weeks you would think cardio would be the easy part. Girlie push ups are rockin, I have def gotten better!!! Side lunge with weights is rockin too!…

Struggle
Hey friends! It's taken over 2 years, but I finally realized that sugar addiction IS in fact as real as alcohol or drug addiction. And it makes you crazy. I've speculated the last several months, on whether I'm addicted or not. I can have small amounts and seem to do alright. I can have protein shakes with sugars and I…

GREAT FEELING (NSV) don't judge please
Ok so here it goes...... There's a gal I was hired on with 4 years ago. We teach the same grade level. You know the type............ She's one of those who knows it all, kisses *kitten*, throws you under the bus to get ahead, EVEN went ring shopping and got engaged to her long time boyfriend the WEEK after Matt proposed to…

Day 4
Ok so...... I'm stronger. It's obvious. But I still do girlie push ups, I can't finish the damn butt kicks or the damn jump ropes!!! Idk if its due to me and hubby running prior to the video or what but the first 8-9 min just kill me! Hubby and I set a goal: 5 days, 1 day break, 5 more days. At the end of the 2nd 5, we…

Pre workout supplement advice needed
Hello! I went to GNC over the weekend and was given free samples of ACG-3 and Cardio Cuts. I really like the ACG-3, it gives me lots of energy and I don't feel tired post workout. I liked the Cardio Cuts also, but the taste was awful. Here is my question- has anyone tried these? If so, which do you recommend (or something…

VENT
Soooo frustrated!!! I have all TOM symptoms, have for DAYS........ But it's MIA!!! :noway: can't be pg because I had my tubes tied 2 years ago. I wouldn't think it's due to exercise, but I guess it could be. Anyone else in the same boat???? Btw: thanks for letting me vent :flowerforyou:

Men!
So we all have hubby issues, whether its them not wanting to workout with us, complaining about not seeing fast results, not supportive, etc......... My hubby has been pissy for a week for not seeing immediate results with the 30 DS. The bugger weighed himself yesterday and he has lost 4 POUNDS in a darn week!!! It's so…

Checking in
Ok ladies, a lot of us are at day 7 or 8, how are we doing?? So is moving on to level 2 after day 10 and who is staying on level 1 for a bit?? Personally, I'm ready to move to level 2 soon but my wonderful husband isn't quite ready, so I will be staying on level 1 at least 15 days total. Maybe I can get off of doing the…

Random thought....
Technically I did 2 workouts on day 6............. Would the 2nd be considered 'day' 7 or just a crazy woman repeating day 6 because she enjoys pain??? One must wonder.........

Not sure how to move forward
I've never been motivated much for exercise. Until I started running. I love it. I just completed the Run a 3k program. I can run a little over a mile in 15 minutes, Runkeeper says its a 12min mile. When i started i was unable to jog the entire 1 min intervals! huge progress for me. When my time increased to 15 straight…

After Shock?
Does anyone use After Shock from Complete Nutrition after a workout for muscle soreness? A coworker of my husband recommended it to him, but I was curious if anyone had used it and what your opinion of it is. Thanks :-)

So discouraged!!
I am having a rough week. I had lost 2 pounds last week after an 8 MONTH plateau. I started a running program in June, and am up to running 1.2 miles/5 days a week and I restarted the program with my husband, so I'm running almost 2 miles/3 days a week. I also just added Jillian Michaels 30 day shred over the weekend. 2…

HUGE NSV for me today!
I have been working through the Run a 3k program the last 5 weeks. In the beginning I was unable to jog every 30 second interval and today............ I ran the ENTIRE 15 minutes!!!!!! I haven't increased my overall time at all, which averages 12:19-12:40 minute mile, but just to gain that endurance has been an AMAZING…

I've been stuck around this weight for 10 months and after lurking here, I have decided to switch to TDEE. now, big reason for the switch is…

Confused!! Help!!
I get mixed messages often and am not sure what to do. I had been eating 1,500 calories or more for a long time (2 years or so) and losing. Problem is, I wasn't paying attention to calories, only carbs. I'm wanting to switch from low carb to healthy eating........ The last month on low carb I've kept my calories at 1,200…

Progress, not perfection
I have been snooping around reading so many success stories on here and am amazed by each and every one of them. I am not done with my weight loss journey, but I've been at it 2 years and have seen amazing results so I wanted to share my story until now. My story should start with the fact that up until I was 21 years old,…
