    Hi. I also have that goal. :) I am on almost daily. I am currently doing Insanity, I already did one round of P90X. Going to do Insanity/P90X Hybride after my 60 days of insanity.

    So you can add me if you like. :)

    This site has helped me a lot. Since June 12th I've only fallen off the wagon 1nce (this past week actually!) I've lost 19 lbs so far since June 12th as well (my ticker doesn't show that.) I'm looking to lose 20 more lbs by January :) I may decide to lose more but at this point that is my goal and I will see where I'm at. :) I'll add you as a friend and we can support each other!

    Hi,
    I've found the best way to keep it going is to get lots of friends on here. Seeing encouraging comments from everyone when you've done a workout or lost a pound or two is so motivating. I joined a while ago and tried doing it on my own but I had no motivation so 'forgot' to fill in the diary or was 'too busy' to exercise. Started again this week and made some friends and now I find myself logging on in a morning to see how everyone got on the day before. Feel free to add me if you like, the more support and encouragement you can get the better!! :-)

    My suggestion is find something you love an tackle that activity for exercise. I love to dance and I really like kickboxing so I do programs that involve one or both of those. I enjoy Zumba, Rockin Body, Turbo Jam & Taebo. I don't feel like I"m working out when I do those because it's something I enjoy and it's fun. I also walk with friends so the conversation doesn't make it feel like I'm working out.
    Good luck on losing 30lbs. I have much more than that to lose but 30lbs is on the way to my goal. :)
