I'm just shy of 6 weeks, and started the 30ds today, so I took my "before" pics for that this morning. Decided to compare them to my before-before pics, and am amazed at the difference!

I go to the gym 5-7 days a week, 30ish mins of cardio and 30ish of strength, depending on the muscle groups that day. A little core work every day.
I log everything, I eat mostly healthy, but I have ice cream and junk too, just make sure I log it! Slow and steady wins the race.. My first big goal is 180 by my 30th birthday, June 3! Then 22% bf, or about 145lbs.

    30DS is next for me! I'm doing JMBR right now and I love it. If I wanna extra cardio or something in the evening, I will sometimes pop in 30DS! good luck!

    That happened to me too. I lost about 50 lbs over the summer of 2011, then found out I was pregnant in September. Gained ALLLL my weight back, plus an extra 20 lbs. My best advice, stay healthy during your pregnancy! It will make things so much easier afterwards!

    This is very good for a 6 week timeline. Go for it! You'll definately reach your goal. Don't mind buying new jeans, it's the least you can do for your little victory.

    I bought a pair of designer goal jeans last week. They're a 15 but fit like a 13, which is quite a bit smaller than I am now! But I will wear them for my birthday!
