What are you starting at?

Options
Go ahead and post your beginning stats, the weights you are using, even a before pic to see where you are starting at. You are not obligated to go this but it will help everyone know where you are at and how we can help motivate you. Give us a little intro into who you are :-)

Here's Mine:
My name is Martina and I have started the 30DS several times but never finish it (I never even get halfway through!) So here goes, I am ready to start AND finish 30DS! My motivation is to look awesome for my business (I'm a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant) and to feel awesome for my kids and boyfriend but most of all for myself. I just need help staying motivated because around day 10-15 of the 30DS I start to get bored. So I need some help with that. :-) I am also looking forward to making some new friends here! :flowerforyou:

Starting Weight: 168.4
Bust: 38.5"
Under Bust: 33.5"
Hips: 45.5"
Waist: 36"
Right Thigh: 25.5"
Left Thigh: 26"
Right Bicep: 12.5"
Left Bicep: 12.5"
Starting Dumbbell Weight: 3 lbs.

Will Post Starting Pic Later Due to Little Kids Being In My House Right Now..... LOL

    My starting weight is 214. I dnt have measurements yet as my husband was going to take them tonight when we are both off work. I figured even if I get one workout in before work my measurements shouldnt be that far off if taken the same day. I do not post pics cause I have no idea how..dnt even know how my profile pic got on here. LOL

    My name is Rachael. I live in Oklahoma nd am 29 years old. I work part time at a grocery store and my full time gig is as an elem school teacher (2nd grade). I have 2 beautiful girls and they are my motivation to get healthy...so I will be around for them and able to do more things with them.

    I'm jumping in! My dvd won't be here for a few days, so I'll be a little behind the rest of you. Starting stats:

    weight: 154
    bust: 38
    waist: 32.5
    hips: 41

    My biggest challenge doesn't show up in these measurements though: it's my gut! below the waist and above the hips!

    When you're measuring your waist are you measuring the narrowest part? Because when I looked up how to measure it told me to do right at your belly button. Definitely not the narrowest part of my midsection.

    I measure both my waist at belly button and my natural waist.

    Your natural waist is where you "bend"

    Essentially bend to your side and find the crease.. that is your natural waist.

    Mine is about 2-3 inches above (high waistline) my belly button and about 2 inches below my rib cage

    Sorry I'm a bit late to the game guys. This is the second time I've attempted this shred, I only got 10 days in last time. -.-

    Anyway here's the horrible part:
    Height: 5' 5"
    Weight: 167 lbs
    Bust: 40"
    Underbust: 36"
    Smallest Part of Waist: 36"
    Widest Part of Hips: 42.5"
    Each Arm : 12" a piece
    Each Thigh: 25"

    Personal Info: My name is Maddie. I'm 18 years old. I want to do this because I've never been the thin/fit girl that I've always envied. I live in California and I plan to finish the shred this time! :)

    Hi Maddie. Better late then never. Just one thing though, change that "I plan to finish" to "I will finish". We will be right here with you.
