    so far so good.will be going to gym again tomorrow morning.cant wait to see the results!
  • So far so good logging well and was 2lb down on sunday. Last week was TOM so maybe the scales will show a bigger loss this sunday. I am noticing my clothes are less snug now so even if the scales don't catch up i feel better.

    Only down 400g so not happy. But I guess (hope) it's because I'm retaining some water. I'm on my second day of 30DS, and quite sore.

    Continuing with 30DS.

    Next week have to be so much better!

    I didn't lose and didn't gain... In all honesty I made some pretty bad food choices this weekend at a graduation party Saturday then birthday party Sunday. Probably should have carved out some more workout time to make up for it, lesson learned. I will be working hard this week, though!
  • Still working on the 30DS- Day 15 today currently on Level 2 and loving the changes to my body! Seeing some lost-but-not-forgotten muscles toning up! Anyone doing the 30DS keep it up--- it's so worth it!

    Fitting in extra cardio when I get the chance and sticking to 1200 calories.... or making up for them when I go over :s

    Not sure if I've lost anything... waiting for our first weigh in on Friday!

    Not so great with my food choices, but I'm pushing with the exercise and trying to make better decisions food-wise. A few big positives though: I haven't had anything but water to drink for the past week, have cut out any foods 3 hours before bed, and I actually made it to the end of the Insanity fit test this morning! Now to put my little boy in his bed (he thought I was hilarious trying to do the fit test) and get a shower.
  • I'm doing good, the scale has finally started moving again. I weigh on Mondays.
  • my goal is to work out more, even i have a busy schedule with work and college, do workouts before or waiting or walking on break instead of sitting on my butt

    I'm on day 12, I just did day 2 of level 2...whew! My scale hasn't moved much, but I can see the changes in my body for sure. I took measurements so hopefully in about 2 more weeks I will have results on the scale and the measuring tape! Good luck to you!!

    Feeling very motivated today. I looked at the scale a little early and the number started with a ONE!! It's been a long time since I've seen that. I changed my profile slightly and am eating about 200 cal less a day now so hopefully that will keep things going. I also eat 500 extra because I'm breastfeeding. Not looking forward to losing those!
    Had an NSV too... my husband (who didn't really eat veggies before we were married) told me he missed having a salad at supper last night :) I made cooked veggies instead. I love that this personal journey is making my family healthier too!
  • It's Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. It's 3 different levels, each about 20 mins. You work on one level each day until you are ready to move on to a bigger challenge. I'm doing 10 days at each level. The 20 minute workouts are great schedule-wise and fitting in extra cardio work! Jillian Michaels kicks my *kitten* and makes me sweat an ocean! Love her! I'm pretty sure you can find it on youtube if you would like to check it out! :happy:

    ok 5 days in i weighted myself i was down 2lbs, i weight myself today...and im back up. im trying not to let this discourage me. i stayed within my calorie goal and excersised...there is no way you can gain like 3 lbs in one day right? it has to be water or sodiem i ate last night....bc i didnt over eat..
  • i rode my bike for an hour yesterday. really fast... I wanted to give up, but i didn't. i pushed through it and now my butt is sore.

    I seem to still be stuck, if I lose a pound one day I'm up the next. I'm slightly discouraged but continue plodding along. I have hope I can lose the ten this month! And if not, I feel good about sticking to my diet, exercising and keeping my chin up. I didn't gain this weight quickly and I know it will take some time to get it off.

    Down 6 lbs from Friday. I do Primal eating, so lots of fat, protein, veggies, some fruit and nuts. I've been drinking more water this week, as well as trying to walk more, and I think that's what has made a difference.

    I'm close to my ultimate goal with only 17 lbs left. I'm 5'10" and weigh 157 lbs at this point. At 140 lbs (goal weight), I'll still be in the normal zone, but I want muscle. I'm not doing any training at this point, other than walking but that is going to change this week. Technically I can go down to 130 and still be in the normal BMI, but who wants to be on the verge of being underweight?!

    I haven't weighed myself since Friday, and I had been doing well. Yesterday was a horrible day food wise. Had Girl's Night with the besties and ate garbage.

    Getting back on track today. If it cools off enough I'll be going for a 6 mile run tonight after work.

    The weekend wasn't.kind to my diet, but I'm back to my pre-weekend weight. Picking up healthy snacks after work, I've been eating too many sugary snacks. Then its off to pilates - the calorie burn is small but the my waist, bum, and thighs are the better for it. Also went waking during lunch.

    New motivation: going to Florida in 2 and a half weeks if I cam take the time off work!!
  • i'm scared for tomorrow... i've been doing good, but I feel like i'm bloated.. :( and i see that I weigh more than i'm supposed to, i'm gonna feel like a failure :(
