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.

OK! I'm excited to find this group! I'm 41 y.o. and and trying to lose these last, stubborn 7# to make my total weight loss a cool 60 #. What a journey!

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 am knew here and i am 5'3 , i have three energetic boys and i need to get stronger and faster..lol i am tired of shopping for different sizes. I can use some friends who have the same goals.:smile

Hi I am a 58 year old mother of 8 and grandma of 8 soon to be 9. I have a daughters wedding in May to get ready for and a good 10 to 15 lbs to lose. Having a tough time with the flu and before that a bad fall on my tailbone in front of Old Navy. Be careful of their carts. But determined to keep trying. Weight now 149/. Goal 135. :bigsmile:

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.

@mannorbeast- the 30 Day Shred is Jillian Michaels DVD http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY/ref=pd_bxgy_mov_text_z and she also has a newer one http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-Ripped-30/dp/B004CRR9IS/ref=pd_bxgy_mov_img_z

Hi, this is my first time trying this but I have heard alot of good things. I am 47 and have 80lbs to lose. I also have 2 children daughter is almost 12 and son 10 and they always want me to do things that I have no energy for. It is time I did

Hi, I'm Tina. My first time joining a group also. I am a 39yo mother of four, ages 15 to 6. I stay busy with my family (friends and activities), a job, and martial arts. I am just now focusing on me. I had actually bought the 30DS last week. I did only the first circuit and just watched the rest. It would be great to have a group to keep each other motivated on here. Thank you! Not sure if I will be starting mine tomorrow, Sunday, or Monday. I prefer to do it while nobody is home (embarassed) so I will have to either gain the courage or start Monday...

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm 41 and since having kids and moving to the UK six years ago, my amount of exercise really took a nosedive, so this is my push to start doing it again. I've had the 30 Day Shred DVD for nearly 18 months but have never done more than Level 1 and that probably less than 5 times! But now I'm motivated and hope that by joining this group, I'll stay that way!

Emma, I did a search and someone suggested listing the Shred as 20 minutes circuit training, so that's how I'm logging it.

Thanks Andrea, that is more calories burned than the one I have been using!

My name is Jennifer and I'm a 26 yo mother of a 2 yo girl. I am going to be doing level 1 day 3 tonight and I'm super excited. My first day was hard but yesterday was a little less painful (although I found it a little harder to keep up. I was incredibly sore and got winded very quickly). No matter what I plan on sticking with this. Good luck to every one!
