I decided to post pics. They are not pretty. They do NOT show the progress that the measurements prove. Please be kind.

But the data doesn't lie. Even big girls like me can see progress from the 30 day shred. And the best part is that I am starting to make exercising a habit.

This journey finally started for the umpteenth time when I got support from 2 awesome friends who shared this site with me. I finally tracked my food and was honest with myself. I finally admitted that I'm really really STUPID when it come to what I had been putting in my body and that I don't know what the calories are or what is healthy. I'm taking back the control.

During this 30 day journey:
I have NOT lost weight like I wanted to, I have NOT lost inches as much as I wanted to.....BUT I am stronger and modifying less, I proved to myself that I could complete 30 straight days of working out, and I'm making myself a priority. Altogether a complete success but not in the ways I thought it would be!!!

So here are my stats and pics. Please be kind (lie if you have to). I'm not proud but I am proud that I've accomplished this!!!

    Hey dl,

    Don't kidd yourself, those pictures show great improvement. Don't be hard on yourself. You have started in the right direction and that is what counts. Just remember that everyday that you workout, eat healthy, you are improving. You don't have to be perfect, just continue to strive to make better choices and you will get where you want to be.

    I credit the Shred for getting me into the habit. I am working on Ripped in 30 and Killer Buns and Thighs as well. I got No More Trouble Zones which is like a combination of the 3 and is almost 50 minutes. I have seen much more results with that one than the others.

    Congrats for making it! Keep it up and you will see the results!!! :flowerforyou:

    awesome job! we all have something to learn from this kind of dedication. Sometimes is not about the scale moving but its about proving to yourself that you can do something to better yourself. Way to go! that is incredible .. and i can definitely see some changes in the pictures. keep going!
