Hi! I'm new here. I was looking around I saw all the support between members that I decided to join. I'm a 30 YO married woman, I live in Texas and I started to work out with Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I'm currently at day 4 of level 1 and I love it. I feel lighter, I got less tired just from walking from my front door to the mailbox, etc.
Before moving to Texas, I visited a nutritionist and she gave me a 1400 cal diet, which I follow, I'm very strict with my diet, I don't have a problem taking care of what I eat, it wasn't easy to stop eating junk food, but I did it, and I feel awesome. My problem is not food anymore, my problem is/was to get up and move, my life is/was very sedentary until last week, when I decided to defeat the demon of procrastination for once and forever. I bought the JM DVD at my local wal mart and the next day went back for killer buns and things, and I'll be getting 6 week six pack tomorrow. I'm very motivated right now. My plan in to start working out with one of those two at some point before finish 30DS, when I hope, I can have more stamina. I been lazy for many years, and now I just have enough. I'm tired of being tired, unhealthy, out of shape and demotivated. This is my time to be in the best shape of my life, to be more healthy and to change my lifestyle.

In January I was 206 pounds. I weighted myself last week, before starting 30DS and I was 201, but now I don't want to weight myself because I have read that you get a little bloated and I don't want to be demotivated. I know I can take that as an excuse to stop working out and I don't want that.

I guess that is it. I hope I can come and share some results. Thanks.

    27 y/o female here! I also recently started the 30 day shred (in late March). I do it first thing in the morning with my man, and it's a great way to get some energy for start of the day!

    I have a short term goal of losing weight for my September wedding, but I'm also hoping to make a real life change this time around--to make a healthy diet and exercise a regular part of my life.

    Feel free to add me!

    I am new as well! i know there is like 10 of us saying that, but I thought I'd add to it. I just started yesterday. Was really sad when I went to the doctors today and weighed in at 243...I've gained about 60lbs in a year and a half. The weight just kind of came on after I got sick. It happens, but now I'm looking for support on here too! So feel free to add me:) Great job on being motivated by the way!
