    Hello! :smile:

    My SW 199-202
    My CW 185.6
    My GW 145-150

    I joined MFP in Jan. 2013 and so far I have lost 16lbs, I know it seems like a long time and little weight, but I have PCOS and its harder for me to lose weight, I lose inches faster than the pounds.

    But I am happy with my 16 pounds, I dont care if it takes me 2 - 3 years to lose this weight and get in shape I'm gonna stick with it.

    THIS IS NOT A DIET FOR ME ITS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE! :smile: :happy:

    Hello all

    My SW 293
    My CW 262
    My GW 140

    I joined MFP a few years ago. Ive done the 500 calorie diets lost weight and gradually started putting it back on. Before I got to putting it all on Ive decided to take action.

    I have read Jillian's Slim for Life and totally dedicated.

    Have lost 3 lbs last week and like SJLocklear said even if it takes me years, i want to do this properly

    Happy shredding everyone!

    Hi all!

    S/W: 247
    C/W: 244
    G/W: 168

    I most definitely have been very casual about these changes as the small changes have been a big shock, but I will get there at my pace, and I am determined to do so!

    I'm at the office or else I would share. I've learned from past experience that sometimes measurements are the way to go. In this program, you are building muscle and losing fat, which the scale might not reflect. :) Congrats on your baby, and don't forget to take it easy during the first few times. There are some abdominal moves which might be a bit too intense 8 weeks pp.

    Hi Everyone!!

    S/W: 221
    C/W: 214
    G/W: 145

    I usually start the shred and never follow through with it! I really need the motivation and accountability to stick with it!!
    sjlocklear I also have PCOS so I definitely understand your struggles! I'm working hard on changing my diet/lifestyle so that I can get rid of/lessen some of my symptoms.

    Looking forward to starting!

    Started yesterday (12-May). I've tried so many programs in the past and have given up so I'm determined to make it through. Going to do 5 days on/ 2 days off ( may do active rest days if I feel up to it). Here are my stats:

    Height: 5'2.5''
    SW: 145
    CW: 144
    GW: 125

    I would love to lose at least 5 lbs. and a lot of inches during the next 6 weeks. :)

    Hello! I have started but not finished the shred several times. I'd love to commit to the full 30 days!! Need to get a new tape measure, but my general stats are:

    5'8"
    SW: 174 ish
    CW: 157.4
    GW: 142
    UGW: 138

    I really need to shed some fat and the shred is so easy to fit into my day! However I've always done it off youtube and lately it looks like levels 2 and 3 aren't up any more....I'll keep investigating. For now, level 1!
