Hi there! I am a 30 y/o mom of 2. Turning 30 has really changed my life. It is a total wake up call, and now I want to live a better/healthier lifestyle.

I have always been about average weight. Im so tired of looking at myself in the mirror and hating what I see (fat hanging over my pants, loose arms, flabby stomach, bigger thighs and butt)

13 days ago I started Jillian Micheals "30 Day Shred" I lost 2 lbs in the first 5 days! Im now on Level 2, day 3 of the 30 DS. So far I am down 2 inches. I will weigh myself again after Im done the 10 days on Level 2.

My goal is to be fit and healthy. I want to wear a bathing suit for once and not worry about fat and cellulite. I want to wear SHORTS in the summer, and not sweat to death wearing capri pants! I want toned arms! So much I want lol

Im looking forward to meeting others here, make friends, and motivate each other.

    I am working my way through the 30DS too! I'm only on Day 2 though... I'll be sending a friend request to you and I will help motivate you to keep up the hard work if you'll do the same for me! :)

    Hey :) Thank you very much. I accepted the request. Good for you! Its hard the first 4 days, but your muscles adapt and it gets easier!
    Im on level 2 day 3. And my mucles arent sore the next day, its the endurance part I need to build up, and be able to carry through each set. Im not giving up though, and have been doing it everyday!

    I'm in the same boat as you! Minus being a 30 year old mom. I'm also doing 30 Days Shred (did Day 17 today.) Seeking very chatty, motivated friends! I'm tired of people adding me and then never talking :(

    Welcome to MFP. I guess we're all here for the same reason.... to get fit and to have a healthy lifestyle. Add me if you like and I'll give you the boost when you need one.

    Welcome to MFP, there are a great bunch of people here. Feel free to add me as a MFP buddy, I'm on daily posting and supporting anyway I can. I hope I'm motivating my Pals to want to workout more by example. Good luck and congrats on wanting to set a good example of a healthy lifestyle for your kids.
