Hello everyone!
I have been tracking my calories for about a month but didn't realize all the great tools that the website actually had! I am excited to make new friends that have the same goals as me! I lack follow through, I always have good ideas but rarely keep them going for more than a few days. I started the 30 Day Shred last week, did 3 days & then missed Saturday & Sunday so I am re-starting today as my Day 1. Anyone who uses the shred as their work out - how do you track it in your exercise log? Anyway, I haven't lost any weight yet so it's time to get serious! I would love to make friends, so feel free to add me! Let's do this together!!

    I also lack follow through. My intentions are there, but then I drop the ball. I started over 2 weeks ago and really enjoy the site.

    Feel free to add me, I need all the motivation I can get.

    Don't worry about missing the weekend for your shred. I don't use it on the weekends and I'm on my second round of it. It actually took me about 45 days to complete the entire dvd but that didn't bother me. So long as I completed it in a reasonable amount of time I was happy. I am still taking weekends off from it and today was day 5 of level 1 for me. Good luck to you and please feel free to add me as a friend. also when you log it into your excercise diary you can add it as Circuit Training, general.

    Good Luck!

    Thank you!! I was wondering how to add it to come as close as possible to what I was actually doing. I appreciate the help!!

    Ditto!
    Don't know the 30 day shred.
    What I do know is that my goal is 1 -2 lbs per week and I have been losing in that range since April.

    Good luck and feel free to add me.

    Hello all. My friend introduced me to this site, I've tried a few other sites in the past but never found what i was looking for. So hopefully this is it, now I just have to remember to come here.

    I've always had an issue with my weight... we just don't get along. And it's not like I eating unhealthy... because my dad is a diabetic so we don't really keep sugary foods in the house. My one weekness was mountain dew, not that i drank a lot of it, maybe a can a day.... but I have recently cut that out and am on a water kick. It's helped a lot with loosing some pounds. But my exercising has seen better days. I keep telling my self that i want to start working out and then never do... there is really no reason for it, i guess i'm just lazy. Well my lazy days are over... I've got the motivation i need now... and hopefully all of you guys can help too.

    thanks!

    I tried the 30 day shred and HATED it! Just find things you enjoy doing or can tolerate easily to start. I've always alcked follow through, after 33 years this is the first time I ahve stuck to a diet for more than 3 weeks and it is going reat! Fell free to add me.

    And Tammi, have you entered the mountain dew into the calorie counter! Holy CRAP! It's a giant cup of sugar... SO sad becuase I loved it too, but we had to end our decades long relationship :sad:

    Welcome to MFP! I just started up on the site last week and love it so far. Using the food diary is really helping me stay in check. Sure, we all have bad days and slack off from time to time. Just don't fall completely off the wagon! :smile:

    Best wishes on your journey!

    Thanks everyone! I am absolutely LOVING the friends I've made in just 1 day on MFP. So supportive & I believe it's going to be so helpful! :)

    About 30 Day Shred & why I choose to do it- I can't do slow work outs! I am miserable at anything but cardio, & the 3DS fits well. I am honestly not buying the "big promises" Jillian Michaels talks about in the video. It has always taken a lot for me to have results. I am doing the video because I can push through the burn of the 25 minute work out better than I can ride a stationary bike or run on a treadmill for an hour. As much as I hope it will transform me, I won't believe it until I see it & I honestly just want to get in shape & I hope my body follows my mind on that one :)
