Hi, everyone!
I want to join in on this challenge!
Female, 54, 5' even
starting weight - 158
current weight - 152
goal - 105
I am on day 19 of Jillian's 30-day shred. It will take me longer than 30 days to complete the program because I plan to take my time and be ready to advance to the next "level." I have to modify some moves because of bad knees and weak shoulders. Since each level is more difficult than the one before it, I have decided to take it easy and advance when I feel ready. I've done this workout before with amazing results, so I'm really hopeful.
However, just like any exercise program, it won't work unless I curb calories, which I'm doing. I haven't gone over 1,200 calories in a couple of weeks, which is pretty darn good for me. :-)
I have a short-term goal of wanting to get in a pair of jeans that is currently two sizes too small by October.
Good to be with you all!4 -

Hi Everyone! I have 16 pounds to lose until my goal weight. I think that I’ll be able to get there by December. Maybe sooner? Who knows. I’m just gonna take it slow and easy. I’ve been doing this for 4 years and have lost 89 pounds. Of course it hasn’t all been a downward curve - it’s been a down/up thing. And, now I finally feel that I have what it takes to reach my goal weight. I never imagined that I’d be in the 160’s again. And, the 150’s are so close now.
For workouts, I prefer cardio - running, walking, biking, hiking, kick scooter, treadmill, elliptical. Sometimes I dabble in yoga and strength training. Ok, I’ve been trying really hard to motivate myself to do more yoga and strength training. But, it’s not working. So, I’m just going to leave it for now and not push myself - because it’s just making me feel bad.

My husband started Medifast last October and I was so impressed with his change in blood panels at the doctor that when I got the "pre-diabetic" diagnosis, I jumped on board. I am not crazy about the packaged meals, but the lean and green meal each night has really forced me to learn portion sizes and what a healthy meal consists of (hint not dessert with a bottle of wine). Accountability will help me stay focused!
I am wondering if I could do this or Nutrisystem maybe 3 x wk. Do simple meal for 3 like lean protein, veg, etc. for 3 and maybe one night out meal.1 -
Is Medifast or Nutrisystem or any better than the other in terms of just a few nights a week. Which is most palatable?0

Got my cardio done!
Hope everyone else had a good week!1 -

For me personally, I can't be on their plan three days and then off three days and continue to lose weight. I am moving into the 3 and 2 plan though where I have 3 Medifast meals and then 2 lean and green I make myself so basically lunch and dinner I make myself but the other meals I eat a bar or one of their meals.1 -

A 2.8 lb loss this week represents normal first-week loss as well as a week of good eating. I'll be happy averaging a one-pound each week of the challenge.5 -

Female - Age 31
Height - 5'6"
Starting weight - 281.4 (April 2017)
Current weight - 206.2
Loss since 7/1 - 1.4
Goal weight by end of 2018 - 181.4
Down 1.4 this week, though I weighed myself this morning and was back up to 207.6 so we're going with Sunday's number. I've been bouncing between 206-208 for months and I'm getting desperate. I'm hoping I can stay consistent for the next few weeks and not get discouraged. My goals for the week are to work out 4x (cardio and strength) and up my water intake at work.5 -
Happy Monday ! I'm still at 166 - been here for 12 days. But, I'm ok with it. I know the scale will start to move again, when my body's ready. I have lowered my monthly weight loss expectations to 2 or 3 pounds.
I'm happy because I ran 4.6 miles this morning - with no muscle pains or injuries. And, I could have gone longer, but I stopped because I didn't want to add too many miles at one time.7 -
Didn't lose anything at my weigh in, but I'm hoping for a whoosh this week. Hope you guys had a great Monday!5

How's everyone doing? Staying on plan? Changing your plan?
I'm staying on my plan - restricted calories and exercising at will. I just wish I could sleep through the night - LOL. I keep waking up 2 or 3am - for at least 2 hours.4 -

7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.4 -

Have you tried taking melatonin? I take it and and I find that I go right back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night.

@alteredsteve175 I take melatonin before going to sleep. I guess I could try to take more when I wake up - only one way to find out if it works, and hopefully it won't make me feel too sleepy when I get up a couple of hours later. Thanks for the idea
And, here's to next week being better !!!!

I'll have to begin my exercise routine before I expect to begin steady loss. That will have to wait until August 1st.
Until then, not expecting to be able to post. My goal is to not to have gained during my absence. Monitoring exact caloric in-take isn't practical so I won't even try to record it. Will continue my awareness and I expect to do a reasonable amount of walking.1 -
You've come a long ways! Keep it up! Keep posting here if the accountability is helpful. Post each day if that helps! When you get discouraged, look how far you've come and how very close you are to crossing into a big line!

Allison, any chance your mattress might be part of the problem?
Good job staying on plan! Thanks for encouraging through inquiry.allison8668 wrote: »How's everyone doing? Staying on plan? Changing your plan?
