    I tried the 30 Day Shred yesterday with 5 pound weights and I couldn't even finish! I bought some 2 pound weights last night so hopefully I'll be able to get through the whole workout. This has made me realize just how out of shape I am!

    It is really really hard. I love it when she says "there is no modification for a jumping jack! I have 400 pound people who can do a jumping jack, and so can you!" Love to hate that lady :)

    Hi guys,
    I was just going through some old stuff of mine in my gym bag and found a paper my old trainer gave me. She is credible and has a million success stories. Her husband is a nutritionist as well. They have a studio here in Michigan. 3dFit is it's name. Anyways, I copied it and pasted it into here for anyone to reference. I can't answer specific questions but take it for what it's worth. It might just be a good guide for what to do every day! I followed this schedule for a whole summer and lost about 30 lbs, that was about 7 years ago.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend and staying on plan :) I have done ok with the food portion, not doing real well with the exercising. I am hoping this week will be better for that.

    Also, could someone explain how to get the list with the weigh in dates to stay as your signature. I have tried to copy and paste it and then add it to my signature, but it keeps saying that my signature can only be 10 lines long. There must be another way to do it, but I am just too computer illiterate to figure it out..LOL :ohwell:

    Wishing you all a great week of eating healthy!

    When you create your signature, you will see all of the code for the ticker thing and under that you can place any text text you want. Hope that makes sense, if not message me and I can explain better :)

    Hey guys!
    Hope everyone got through the weekend alright, and is ready for a good week :) I'm moving countries tomorrow (okay CONTINENTS) to start a new 3 month internship and i am STRESSED OUT. This is normally where i'd turn to food, and although i've only been on mfp for about a week, there are a few times i've found that i've had to physically remove myself from the kitchen!
    I haven't been doing too well on the exercise, nothing high intensity, just walks. But i guess that is better than nothing? I'm looking forward to pulling out my huge aray of workout dvds when i'm settled in :)
    I think the next few weeks will be really hard on me. But i really hope i can stick to this.
    Best of luck everyone.

    Where are you moving to!!? How exciting! Embrace the change even though it can be scary. I have moved around probably 6 times in about 10 years and I can relate to the stress of it all but just enjoy all your new experiences. Use MFP as a tool to monitor intake, to vent, for support, etc! BEST OF LUCK! and yes, walking is better than nothing!! Keep it up. Those DVD's will be fun once you're settled and I bet you'll have raised your endurance too!

    Thank you so much. The people here really motivate me. I'm moving to Singapore! Can't believe it. I feel like i just moved to australia (which was actually just 1 year ago lol). I am looking forward to it, but a bit terrified at the same time. If i can pull through the experience with some good memories WIHTOUT turning to food for comfort, and some weight lost, i will feel fantastic.
    Btw, does anyone have any tips for not over eating on a plane? I feel like long haul flights really screw up my eating patterns. It seems like the attendants are walking down the isle every 30 minutes with something to eat!

    You're allowed to bring food on a plan but not liquids. I am 99.9% sure of this! I use to take trail mix, protein bars and candy in my carryon when I would travel to Florida to visit friends. If you pack your own snacks you're not tempted to but in the concourses or the $10 bags of chips the flight attendants offer, lol!
