    Way to go - your results are awesome!

    Here are mine...sorry, no pics

    Weight: 144.4-->139.0 (-5.4)
    Hips: 40-->39 (-1)
    Waist: 32-->30 (-2)
    Chest: 36-->36
    Belly: 37-->35.5 (-1.5)
    Thigh: 23-->22.5 (-0.5)

    Overall, I'm content with the results but know that my diet is holding me back. I've (we've!) accomplished 30 days of working out and it feels great, now I need to get the eating under wraps so that Ripped in 30 really gets me ripped lol

    Can we start tomorrow? I reallllllly had planned for today. But, didn't get it done this morning, then came home and raked 1 side of my lawn (almost 2 hours and 10 bags later) I have blisters on my hands AND feet! LOL. I just wanna shower, and go to bed! Nevermind it's only 6....


    I gained 2 pounds. Not happy. I don't know why. I'm going to try and NOT eat back my exercise calories this week, and make sure I'm getting enough water. We'll see what happens next Sunday. "See" y'all tomorrow!

    So glad we're starting tomorrow! I had the best intentions to start today too...finished off 30 day shred this morning and now stuck in airports with insufferable flight delays (and no, I'm not going anywhere exciting, lol, just a work trip). I'll wake the room below me when I attack Day 1 tomorrow morning :)

    Great job on raking - it's definitely a full body workout, my forearms and back always feel it! Too bad about the blisters though :(

    OK. Not gonna lie, I cried on Day 30 (02/11). I took my after pics and did a collage and cried. My stomach got worse/bigger!!! I didn't even measure bc I was so upset. So now, it's 2 AM and I got woken up by extreme tummy & back pain to find my new friend TOM is here. That would explain the bloating and feeling horrible last couple days. (God did not bless me with a normal TOM, more like a mini death sentence. Ugh). Should I redo pics later? Should I measure or wait? Ugh. Just ugh. I'll post my back results though. They aren't too embarrassing.

    BTW, excellent job by everyone!!!!!! I'm so encouraged every time I read your posts! Thank you!

    Aw, Rach. :cry: I know what you're talking about! Day 30 for me was on the morning after a pasta dinner AND very close to my TOM too. My stomach looked awful! Luckily my weekly weigh-in was on day 29, so I had measured then. I just took pictures the next morning (day 31)... It was better, but not as good as day 28 or 29. Just wait it out, I think. You worked hard for those results - they'll still be there when the bloating subsides :flowerforyou:

    On a similar note, here's my 30DS results pic. I tested this before but the photo came out too big. I hope this works!

    Tseli! Great job!!!!


    And Rach, I had the EXACT same problem! Remember I told y'all I got bigger! LOL And, when I weighed in, I had gone up almost 2#~! Talk about some discouragement!! So, I didn't take pictures for my start of this, I'm just going off from day 20 LOL! I do have the measurements though. But yep. TOM hit. Which explained my unending hunger, and need for CHOCOLATE!

    ETA: Hey, I went and looked at your picture, and there is a DEFINITE difference between day 20 and day 30~! Idk what you're thinking LOL

    Tseli!!! OMGOODNESS! Your waist and back look awesome! Congrats! Congrats to everyone else too!!!

    I did my photos and I'm gonna deal with the look. I measured today and only can compare Day 20 - Day 30. The photos are Day 7, 20 & 30.

    Bicep 12.625 => 12.5
    Thigh 22.25 => 22
    Waist (High near bra line) 39.5 => 37.5
    Waist (over belly button) 43 => 41.5
    Hips 40 => 39
    Weight: Day 1 (according to MFP logging) 185.6 => 172.4

    OK, happy again! Now to log off and go do R30!

    Glad you're back Sally!! We missed you. Good to hear everything's looking better on the homefront. I've been there - it sucks. I agree with Rach... Just keep keeping on. We're here for you every step of the way. At this point we're mostly all at different points in the programme anyway, so don't rush yourself.

    I took pics at Day 7 and didn't have a tape measure till Day 20. Just start somewhere and when the scale is a butthead, you'll be glad for the photos or the measurements... trust us! ;-)
