    Well everyone, I made it back from Mexico this weekend. I told myself not to get on the scale till today and I only gained 1 pound!!!! I am pretty proud of myself and didn't over do it while on vacation. So my starting weight has now changed to 136. Weigh in is this Friday...I don't see much of a weight loss for me since I am booked at work and have exams all week....so not much gym time...but I continue to watch what I eat.

    THESE lAST 10 pounds are SO hard to get rid of. I don't know if I'll ever get to my goal weight!!!

    Thats awesome you only gained a pound! I bet its just water weight! I switched up my diet for this week and lost half a pound already this week so that makes me so happy! these last 14 are a pain in the booty! Id be stoked for 2 pounds this week!

    Hey this is just what I needed! Please add me in!
    I'm 5'7 and my CW is 127.
    It's so hard to get off those weights when you've got BMI of 21.5.
    I just hope I can reach my goal before next summer, really wanting to have a beachbody!

    Works for me. I'm 5'6 and have been stuck at about 155 since I lost 6lbs at the beginning of the year. I gave up for a bit and just managed my weight, but I've been at it again for a few weeks and would like to lose 5 pounds before Thanksgiving and ultimately about 15-20 pounds but would be thrilled if I could just get at least 10 pounds off in 12 weeks, especially with the holidays coming up. Despite eating right, meeting my daily goals, and working out, the weight hasn't budged so I'm getting a bit frustrated. I'm going to meet with a trainer at the gym today as I realize that one cannot get fit by cardio alone and all those damn weight machines freak me out, so we'll see how it goes. I'm 38 so it seems like the weight just doesn't come off like it used to.

    My biggest weakness are craft beer and eating out. Since I almost never eat out a chain restaurants, it is really hard to navigate the menus.

    are we tracking measurements also?

    Yes lets track measurements as well. I know I lose more in inches than I do in lbs, so that may help some of us to not get discouraged! Good idea!

    You're doing great!!! I don't see any weight loss for me this week, since I will only get to have 1 gym session due to being over booked at work. But I have been eating healthy so that may help....Congrats!!!! What did you switch up, we all love tips!!

    not to sound like a complete idiot, but I have never measured myself.......chest, stomach and hips? and is the stomach at the belly button? Last but not least, where do you get a tape measure for this? Craft section?

    I purchased mine in the craft section. Its the flimsy kind that will wrap around easily. I measure my hips (measure just under the belly button around the largest part of your waist above you butt), waist (right above your belly button), thighs, and arms. It is up to you guys one what you want to measure as we are all different in where we want to lose.

    I didn't read through all 4 pages, but I was wondering if I could join?

    I'm trying to lose 10 pounds by Dec. 25, and then probably another 5-10 after that, depending on how I feel. So this seems like a great challenge for me! I've been tracking my weight and a bunch of different measurements the last couple of weeks, should I share that here?

    I guess I should wait and see if you are accepting new challengers or not first. :bigsmile:

    I'm keen! I've been reading about people's experiences with it and it sounds pretty good. I haven't done any of her videos before (or really any workout videos ever...) Unfortunately I'm currently on a placement in a remote area (Walmart is 3 hours away!) so I won't be able to get the DVD for another 2 weeks...but if I can find the first few on youtube or something I'd be happy to start earlier!

    I have been starting with it for some time now.
    As a beginner (or first time with her), I started with 30DS.
    And I had great concerns on my butt and thigh, so I had Killer Buns & Thighs prepared, but almost couldn't finish it when doing it the first time, and I haven't completed all three levels in 30DS!

    So I kept on with 30DS, and only recently did I finish it, do I really start on with KB&T, exchanging with Banish fat boost metabolism every other day.
    I'm just starting this cycle, so I'm not sure of the results. Sharing them for your reference.

    I bought 30 Day Shred/Banish Fat Boost Metabolism/No More Trouble Zones!! I am going to start on them as soon as I get them in the mail as walmart didn't have them. If anyone wants to start these with me during our 12 weeks let me know! Weigh in is TOMORROW morning!!! I get my only gym session for the week tonight! Still haven't lost anything for the week! :(
