    YES YES...the other group I'm in started a new year challenge and we all took pics in our shorts & sports bra....if that didn't kick my butt into gear NOTHING would. You don't have to share the half naked pics but share something..then your after shots will be that much more amazing. Plus you'll want to get those after shots up as fast as you can :laugh:

    O.k. So my goals were set to lose 1 lb a week and I was only losing .5 a week. So I re-set them to lose 1.5 lbs a week. Hopefully I'll lose 1 lb now. lol We'll see...

    You can do it!! :) Even if you don't reach the whole 1 lbs, you'll do better by trying to hit that one pound... Sometimes we are scared to reach out there and set a 'hard' goal because we fear we won't accomplish it... BUT a lot of time, by setting and "impossible" goal, we accomplish more!!

    I just found a good before picture and wow I didn't realize how much different I look now. I felt like I haven't really changed that much but looking at that pic made me realize how far I've already come.

    How encouraging!!! Can't wait to see it!!! When we are feeling those "LOW" times along our journey, it will be nice to go to the JS website and get some encouragement! :)

    BTW:

    I started the 30 Day Shred again...

    Just finished Week 1 Day 2... I am surprised at how difficult it is....makes me upset that I ever slacked up on it... I was going strong and now I'm panting for air :laugh:
    But I already feel stronger just by starting back on it... I LOVE LOVE LOVE my cardio that I'm doing at the gym, but I really LOVE Jillians 3,2,1 method of strength cardio and abs....

    I just sent my pics in! Woohoo!! It will definitely be a great reminder to look back on our awesome progress through those pics. I'm excited to see everyone's "after!" I'm weighing in tm...until then I am resting on the couch because my quads hurt from elliptical/running today :noway: It sucks that going without exercise for just a few weeks can set you back so far.

    On a positive note, I did get my hrm put to good use. Surprisingly, it said I burned way more cals than the machines said, which I find hard to believe On one it said I burned 400 on my hrm and 300 on the machine. It also said my max heart rate was 204 (which is kinda scary) and my regular walking heart rate is around 110 (also scary to me). I hope I don't have some crazy heart condition! Med school has turned me into a hypochondriac :blushing:

    And Kandy, I look forward to Jillian kicking my @ss tomorrow at 3pm :D
