    Hi there,

    I'm a 34 year old teacher who is lacking motivation! :-(

    This is my first ever attempt with the 30 DS. Hopefully all will go well!

    Hi,

    I'm Patricia. 6 years ago I was super skinny and super strong. I was working out twice/day and eating a super clean diet. Unforeseen circumstances put me completely out of balance on the years to follow.

    I first dropped from 131 to 118lbs / size 2, which I kept for most of 2006. Then I put the weight back on to 155lbs /size 8 by end of 2007. I went back to 131-133lbs / size 6 by end of 2008.

    Even though I've never stopped exercising, truth is I became super lazy and didn't care much for my eating on the years to follow. I hadn't weighted myself in years but I went from a size 6 to a 10. This past Dec 31st 2012, I reached 180lbs, size 12 (tight). The heaviest I've been in my whole life!!!

    I used to be part of online forums thru most of the time I was super fit, so I'm looking forward for the mutual support and motivation :-) I'll be posting my journal for my own accountability. My goal is to drop 50lbs and go back to comfortable size 4~6

    Cheers

    Hi, everybody!

    My name is Danielle and I'm from Denver. I am 24 years old with 4 year old twins. I weigh 152 and my first goal is to get down to 133 lbs. I have always weighed more than 150 lbs. Last year I weighed near 180 lbs and lost 25 lbs from taking long walks and sort-of,-but-not-really watching what I was eating.

    I have heard of the 30DS through MFP. I am very excited to join this group. I just joined MFP about a week ago. So some new friends and support would be very nice.

    I also wanted to say how scared I am to commit to this group. My fear of letting people down would normally keep me away but this time I'm just going to do it and see what happens when I put all my effort into it. :)

    Thanks!

    Hi Everyone

    I am a 50 year old woman that has had weight issues for years. From 2009 -2010 I lost over 100 pounds. About six months after I reached my goal weight. I started having asthma attacks sometimes as many as 3 or 4 in a day. Once that started happening I couldn't exercise. It's hard to exercise when you can't breath. It took over 1 1/2 years to get my allergies under control which allowed for my asthma to be under control so I can start exercising again. I have started taking allergy/asthma shots and I will need to take a breathing treatment before an exercise session and after. But I am willing to make whatever adjustments necessary to get back on track.

    I love 30 day shred, that was one of my favorite workouts. I am looking forward to this challenge.

    Hi everyone! I'm 43 years old, 5' and weigh 190lbs. I am a very proud mom of three recently had a fourth in June 2012 who did not survive.....I'm now ready to "bring sexy back". I've always been on the heavy side, however; I wish to make a change in my life NOW! I bought the 30 day shred in November of last year but just can't seem to get started.......Maybe now I'll open the case and hit "play". Good luck to all of US! SW: 190, CW: 180, GW 135. :happy:

    Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm 28 yrs old. Im the mother of two amazing little girls, 3 and 5. Both pregnancies were rough.... Even under close supervision by a prenatal nutritionist , I gained 80-90 lbs with both. I was able to get much of the weight off after each, but since the birth of my youngest i have noticed loosing weight (and finding the energy to get moving) have become much harder.

    I signed up for mfp sometime last year during a failed dieting attempt- I like the format of the site and the message boards.

    After letting myself go over the past year, I am ready to kick it into high gear. Started my "diet" and exercise journey on the first of the year and plan to make this a permanent lifestyle change. On jan 1st I weighed 210 lbs, I currently am at 201. My first goal is to get down to 160 and my final "happy weight" goal is 125. I am hoping this group will give me more motivation, and give me a reason to hold myself accountable!

    Note: I've never done anything like this before.... But I am so excited to get started!

    Hi, I'm Carmen.
    This is the first time joining a group. I'm hit my big 40 last year and it time for a change. The main reason I'm making changes is for my health. I've been diabetic for some years now so my main goal is to get it under control. I honestly need motivation!

    Hi!

    I'm Maria. I'm 26 and have 2 children. I've been doing OK on my diet but am struggling to loose the last 7lbs. I fell off the wagon yesterday and have been eating pretty badly today- tomorrow will be a better day and the first step to shifting the last half a stone! We can do it!

    Hey all! I'm a 24 year old, struggling to lose those few extra inches. I've been using the same ol' routines for months and now I'm ready for something different, which is why I'm here.

Nope, my body has hung on LOL! I have 4 kids, 3 girls, 1 boy. All very close in age. This is my chance to finally get rid of it for good. I'm not so concerned about the weight as I am of the shape.. Just finished day 1 Lvl 1 today, and I'm adding some zumba in too... Excited for the support of this group! Have fun ya'll!!

    It's a workout video that you can find on Youtube by Jillian Michaels. You do Level 1 for ten days consecutive and then Level 2 for ten days in a row, and then Level 3 for another ten days.
