Hello everyone i'm Emily. I have two pre-teen boys and they are my number one motivation. I started my weight loss journey 2 and a half yrs. ago at 256, i am curently 180. At one point i was 156 and hit that hundred mark. in the last six months i have gained and now i'm on MFP and ready to get to my goal and stick with it!!!

HI, my name is Mo and I live in England. This has been such a great way for me to lose weight! I have tried every single class going, joined clubs, paid dues, subscriptions, accounted to everybody but myself for my weight. Here I can get on with the job of losing weight WITHOUT accounting to anybody for anything I eat. I don't have to feel guilty for not losing or for letting somebody down. I have lost 16 lbs in 6 weeks and am pleased with that. This week I have lost the plot a little but am trying to sort it out. Thanks.

Hi my name is Rachael and yes I am new so new I dont know what the 30 day shred is could someone fill me in because Im keen to get started Monday. Im a mother of 5, I just recently gave birth to twins and want to et fit and healthy again. I just lost 15 kgs doing HCG Diet and Im ready to get toned up!

My name is Cindy I'm from South Africa 1.63m (5'3), married 1 year :-) ,no children. Also I'm not working, so no excuse for me not to exercise lol! I love Zumba and Spinning! But Jillian Michaels RULE! I've completed 30DS once, but would love to do it again, I'm currently busy with Ripped in 30 Week 4 day 3, and Zumba beginner Challenge Day 2. Oh and 30DS :bigsmile:

Hi I'm new on here. Wanting to lose a few pounds or more, currently weighing in at 150 lbs and would like to lose a few by the end of March. Recently quit smoking too so really motivated to clean up my act.

I am fairly new on MFP. I have struggled most of my life with food/weight. I remember being 181lbs when I was 15yrs old. I am now 38 yrs old (as of 2 days ago) 5'5'' and 181lbs. I'm married, have 4 kids (3 at home and 1 left the nest). A little over a year ago I was not able to walk most days without assistance due to a fractured spine and nerve issues. I had a rod, screws, plates, and bone grafts from my hip 'installed' a year and 4 mo. ago. I have since lost 30lbs. but I have an extremely weak core. I'm almost afraid to commit to this because I am terrible at sticking to things like this especially when the pain gets bad.

I tried 30DS on Sun. but caught a cold. I was unable to do all the exercises in their entirety but tried them all w/modifications. However, I am not just doing this for myself or for weight loss. I am doing this to build strength, endurance, and set an example for my 13 yr old daughter. She is overweight and struggling. So my goal is to stick with this, get stronger, and hope this will help motivate my daughter by being a positive influence. I will try to get my measurements entered today. I wish you all luck as we embark on this journey together!

Hello All,

My DVD is in the mail, and should arrive by March 5. I'm really excited about this challenge, because toning is what I need desperately. I currently work out 4-5 days per week doing mostly cardio (zumba), and every Saturday morning I take a Boot Camp class. I am only trying to loose 10lbs and tone, tone, tone! Who new losing 10lbs can be soooo difficult!!! Like most people, I love to eat, so that's half the battle. I love this site because it has really help me to see just how many calories I've been taking in, and I know that I need to scale back considerably! I also need to add more light weight training into my regimine...so I'm excited about this challenge!

Hi! I'm Corinne! When I started my weight loss journey I was 173..then when I joined MFP I was at 165 and currently I am at 157. My goal is to get down to 130-135 ish and really tone up! In January I switched to clean eating which I am able to stick to about 90% of the time...occasionally I do have some processed snacks. Also, I started running 4-5 days a week in Jan, but I would like to up that to 6 this month.

My husband and I are renting a beach house with a bunch of friends and family for a week in June and I really want to be at my goal by then, I'm hoping 30DS can help me get there and not be so terrified of my bikini!! I'm excited to get to know everyone and see their results.

What a pretty name!!! We are working towards that same goal
I am 163 right now, trying to see 130's!

I definitely think if you put your mind to it you will be able to do it!
Nice to meet you!

Hi to both of you. Snap for me too - I started at 173lbs, currently 161lbs and aiming for 130 having previously been 116lbs!
Looking forward to a good grilling by Jillian having watched the 30DS DVD yesterday to get a feel for it - you know, one step at a time ;-)

I am a Nickita 34 year old mother of 3, 7 year old twin girls and a 4 year old boy. I am 5'7" and my goal is to get back to what I weighed 3 months after having my son which is in the 150s.

Hi! My name's Jess. I'm soon to be turning 26, and this will be second round of 30DS. I gained a good bit of weight in college and at the start of medical school, and now I'm trying to lose it before it gets out of hand. I didn't lose any weight with the first round of 30DS, but I did lose a pants size. I'm hoping to keep toning up a bit, and lose some more weight.
