    I am getting back on the wagon. I moved 6k miles and put back 10lbs on and I feel disgusting. My clothes don't fit well and there's no way in hell I'm getting more, and bigger ones at that. Starting food tracking this week and 30 Day Shred next week.

    Hi Michelle - I just got back on MFP. Congrats on your wedding next year! It's great you joined the gym. I recently joined the gym and go to the classes they offer. I find going to the class pushes me to workout more than if I were doing it on my own. I'll add you as a friend and we can motivate each other! My goal is to not fall off the wagon this time and get in shape before the holidays.

    Anyone else looking for a MFP friend, feel free to add me as a friend too!

    Michelle the 30 days shred is a workout video by jillian michaels. I have done it and it will kick your butt but is worth it. It can get you into shape. it has 3 levels of exercise. and the workouts are about 30 min long.

    I love the 30DS. I might skip level 1 though, it was kind of boring, but it has been several months since I've done anything remotely related to exercise.

    Hey Congrats on getting married next year, I to am the heaviest ive been and have been using MFP for 23 days and have lost almost 2kg so slowly but surely, my goal is to shift 25kg altogether and get down to 65kg then ill think about another 5kg, great youve joined a gym! I love using gym equipment im lucky enough to have a few things in the garage i can use and theres tons of youtube workouts to watch and give ago. I started the 30day shred a while ago but i found it to hard, I guess my downfall is when i feel pain i stop.

    Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I just celebrated my first wedding anniversary. I've been steadily gaining weight for the past 3-4 years. I'm close to my heaviest weight ever, which truthfully isn't too horrible, but I have a small frame and even 5-10 pounds really distributes itself poorly. I'm trying to lose about 15-20 pounds. I've lost a few (a couple before starting this website and then a couple since starting it). It feels like it took SO long just to lose a total of 4 pounds. I am beginning to accept that my body is changing as I approach 40 (in a couple months). The only thing that really keeps me on track is making exercise "fun." I walk, run, bike, hike and do yoga, and occasionally go to the gym. I try to do something physical almost every day, with "big" exercise 4-5 times a week. Eating only 1200 calories a day has me really bummed but truthfully, I'm never hungry. It is taking a long time to sink in that this is a life change and a lifetime commitment. I'm just not 20 anymore. Good luck everyone!
