    my weeks (monday/ tuesday) has gone pretty well so far (which always makes me motivated)
    monday = total conditioning at the gym burn @ 550 calories and i ate really well
    tuesday = run/crosstrain about 5 miles burn @ 500 calories and i sort of had a cheat dinner however; after putting it into my food log I found that I didn't go over calorie wise...so if I keep it up the rest of the week I think I will see some lbs drop

    ...I am a baker on the side (of being a stay at home mom) so my goal is just to not eat any of my cookies..luckily most of my orders will not have extras so hopefully I will not be able to have the temptation.

    here is to another day with good exercise and eating well...my goal is to get more veggies in the rest of the week

    I'll join! I was getting pretty close to my goal weight right before my wedding 5/13....BUT then the wedding, honeymoon and summer fun began and about 7-8 of those pounds came back. I'd like to lose around10-12 lbs and just be more fit in general. My husband and I are going to Vegas Oct 4 so I'd love to be to my goal weight by then and just continue to be healthy and fit.

    I'm in! My hubby's bday is in Oct and I'd love to lose those 20 lbs by then. I just started the 30 Day Shred again and hoping I can stick with it! Did it for about 2 wks before and had good results before falling off the wagon. My plan is 30 Day shred and atleast 30 min of walking, either on the treadmill or around town.

    heboyette im with you on the need for motivation to keep us at it i do so well then it starts to feel like a chore and i lose interest and end up gaining back what i lost i am always in need of a boot in the bum to stop me slacking or getting tempted by sweets crisps and chocolate good luck us

    wishin2binAZ 20lbs is a realistic goal i hope a sthats what im aiming for as well ive never tried 30DS having read how gruelling it can be i dont think im that brave so very best of luck im looking forward to seeing how great the results are tho it may motivate me to try
