Hi everyone!

I've just finished 30 Day Shred and I'm moving on to Ripped in 30 tomorrow (June 10th)
I lost 122lbs on my own (no programs of dvds) in 2.5 years! going from 263lbs to 141lbs.
Although, I didn't really do all of it the correct way, So naturally, I gained about 37 of those back :(
BUT I'm back and doing things the right way! I'm posting my 30DS results tomorrow morning, so until then, I cant really give a start weight! But here are my other stats! ( PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT focusing on my weight right now. Too much focus on my weight sent me down the wrong path, and I don't want to go down it again...currently weighing once a month...weigh whenever you like, I just choose not to because its just not the right thing for me to be doing)

Did 30DS...gained 7lbs and 2.5 inches around waist and hips :(
HIGHEST weight: 263lbs
RI30 Start weight: 177lbs
5'8.5ft tall
Female
18yrs old
Pear shape
I try to exercise at least 6 days a week.

Looking forward to meeting each of you, please introduce yourselves! Happy ripping :bigsmile:

    Hey, I've started today a diet (since it's Ramadan now it'll be easier). I dont need to loose much weight but i would like to fit in a size 8 and work on my legs and abs. So i hope we can encourage each other.
    I used to be 148 lb and now i am 127 lb and my height is 5'4.2ft . my main exercise is walking but now i am trying to include swimming more often.

    I've started doing Ripped in 30, 30ds, and Jillian's Yoga Meltdown every day a couple days ago. I'm only on Day 2 of Ri30, so I'm really glad I found this group :) I really want to tone up and hopefully lose a couple of inches, especially in my stomach and thighs.

    Hey, just joined MFP today. I lost a 60 lbs a few years ago with the help pf 30 DS but have since gained about 40 lbs back. Looking to get back on track and loss 75 lbs before I turn 30 (April 2015--would like to sooner but I am willing to give myself plenty of time). Hopefully RI 30 and the accountability of the group will help!

    Hi, I've been looking for a group to join so thanks for starting one :-) I'm about half way through ri30 and that's where I always lose motivation. I really love it though it's much better than 30ds because each exercise is 30 secs and there are 4 levels. So you don't really have long enough at each level to get bored.
    I don't have that much weight to lose but really need to tone, especially my belly!
    My stats when I started were:

    Weight: 148
    Boobs: 39.5
    Under boobs: 32.5
    Waist: 31
    Belly: 37
    Hips: 38
    Thigh: 22

    I haven't measured since then but will do at the end of the programme. I'm on Week 3, Day 3.

    Hi All!

    I am 50 years old, 5'8", and about 138 pounds. I joined MFP 4 months ago when I turned 50 as I noticed my metabolism had really slowed down and my weight was creeping up! Also, I have an irregular heart beat that kept me from doing any exercise for about 6 months, and my cardiologist wanted me to start working out more once we got it under control. I am working on maintaining my weight, and firming up a little more.

    I work full time, and have a 15 year old son, so have little time to exercise. I like these shorter workout tapes that I can pop in when I have 30 minutes to spare.

    I finished 30DS a couple of weeks ago, and started RI30 shortly after. I just started level 3, and it's tough! I'm using 3 pound weights for now.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi! :smile:
    I think I have finally hit that point... I am sure many of you know what I mean, I started doing the JM RI30. I truly don't have much to loose, I believe with me it's mind over matter at this point. My husband keeps telling me that I look perfect, which I love him for that... but then I look at that box that I packed up that contains my favorite Levis and just cannot understand how I could let myself gain 25 lbs. Now granted this happened over a period of 2 years, but its frustrating all the same. So here I am, need a place where I can find others who do understand... and we can help each other. I have been down that avenue of WW x 2... the first time I was successful and that is when my Levis and I became the best of friends

    Definitely looking for encouragement, "workout buddies", anything and everything to keep me motiviated ! :flowerforyou:

    Happy to find this board! Have a great day everyone
