    Jillian Michaels' "No More Trouble Zones" without getting sore.

    That workout is a killer.

    Too many awesome progress stories to reply or note them all, but you should all be very proud. Each 30 day progress will add up to so much in just 6 months. Way to go! Keep sharing:drinker:

    When I am told to keep my abs in tight during an exercise I can actually feel my abs flexing :)

    And the best thing is that I can now do squats without having to walk like a baby giraffe for a few days.

    This! I laughed out loud literally .... & I am walking like a baby Giraffe right now! Next month I will not walk like a baby Giraffe! :bigsmile:

    Today I went to the washroom at work, and I was able to pull the jeans I was wearing down without undoing the button or zipper. I had to dance and jump around to get into them a month ago.. lots of muffin top! SO motivating!!

    30 Days ago I couldn't complete a 500 Freestyle swim, doing every flip turn and never stopping.
    Normally I would do at least two open turns ((BAD BAD)).

    No I can do every flip turn ((if I want to)) and even go farther.

    Finally at 17.5 lb dumbbells for biceps. Was stuck at 12 and 15 for so long long.

    Sleep all night without waking up wanting something to eat. Button my jeans without sucking in my gut. These are just a few.

    A month ago, I was struggling with running 3 minutes straight, but this morning I did 8 minutes straight. Attempting 9 minutes straight on Tuesday! :)

    Friday night I took my run after work. I did my "Run for 1.5 miles, then you can take your 1 min walk." well, after 1.5 miles, I felt ok, so I kept running. And kept running. I ran 2.69 miles without stopping!!

    PR'd my pace time AND distance without stopping. 1 month ago I did 2.61 miles in 36 mins, 13.47 pace with a walk/run. Friday I did 2.69 miles in 34 mins 12.39 pace, all running.

    Still slow by some standards, but from where I started, I'm a gazelle!

    I can now drive by a McDonald's and not think twice about it.
    Walk past the chip shop on the way home and not be tempted

    Over the winter I didn't really shave my legs that much but now that's it is getting a little warmer I shaved them and boy it's a lot easier! But at the same time I have some extra skin so that was kinda a pain to deal with but oh well I think take it

    I can run intervals on the treadmill. Not for long but I'd never have dreamed of doing it 30 days ago :blushing:

    I couldn't fit into my favorite jeans. Next month I hope to not fit into those either! I want to fit back into my shorts for summer!

    Congrats! I hate that the older I get the more I realize how weak my arms are. I can't wait for the day I can do a pushup!

    thats great! I noticed after I took out sugar from my diet my body didn't hurt as much and I didn't ache when getting out of bed anymore!

    I can run at all! I am currently only doing 1.5 minutes running, 1 minute walking, but last month, I was satisfied with just walking.

    I can eat up to my daily calorie allowance and not feel guilty about it. When I used to use my fitness pal, I had this horrible notion that I was always eating "too much" no matter how little I ate. I have lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks eating ALL of my calories (1800!) and I haven't had one guilty moment yet.

    I wish more people would be like you, and realize 1800/2000 is the minimum daily requirement for adult females. Welcome, and well done with your success!
