BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 7

On a lighter note, I came home and popped in the good ol' 20 minute shred. Was able to do level 2 without puking, that my friends is progress. I leave in 12 days for the wedding and plan on doing Jillian everyday. Thats the least I can do.

Way to go Melissa, you go girl!

way to go Melissa!! I leave in 10 days to move to Fort Myers!! I was at the mall picking out an outfit to arrive in, since I haven't seen fiance in over a month! I have lost some weight since he last saw me, and I want to have an outfit that shows it Is the shred really good??

Thanks Karla

nsbride, we are going to be so close to each other! Your fiance isnt going to be able to keep is hands off you!

I like the shred. I always feel like I make progress on it, and I always feel like Im getting in a great workout, even though its 20 minutes. I did it consistently for 30 days once, well 4 times a week for a month and saw great results. Muscle definition and inches lost! Id love to combine it with a consistent cardio workout and see how it does.

Where did you get it? In a store, or did you buy it online??

Yeah its in most stores. I got it at Walmart for $9.99

It has 3 levels. You just move up when your ready. Ive never made it to level 3 yet. lol She does circuits on each level. 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of ab work. You do 3 circuits like that.

Ok everyone, whoever wants to stay in will send me their weigh ins on Wednesday!

SSNM, feel free to jump on the BL7 board if you want. You will have missed the initial 3 weeks, but if you send me a weigh in picture and intial weight on Wednesday I would love to have you join. I doubt there will be any objections to have a late participant.

Great! Thanks Ginalyn!

Well my case is a bit peculiar as I just finished a show so I will most likely be gaining weight for the next bit, but my real goal is to maintain the workout schedule and establish a reasonable 'off-season' diet that doesn't involve me gorging on all kinds of junk at my leisure. I also want to be a beacon example for my FI who always talks about being hardcore in the gym but never quite gets there.

I look forward to being an active participant!

Do you guys keep a diet/workout diary? I have been doing so since I've decided to do shows and it really helps to keep a log of your progress. Sometimes, if you seem stuck in a rut and you look back at the logs, the reason for the rut will be quite clear. I basically bought a notebook from the dollar store and I write my diet on one side and my workouts on the other.
