Day 3 of the shred in the books! I feel like I'm on a roll and hope I can keep it up!

Day 2 complete! Feeling good!

Did you start today Aurora? It took a lot of self-talk, but I finally got off my *kitten* and did day 1! Proud of myself!

Ashley, I do the same thing! I use anything I can think of as an excuse not to work out and/or to eat like an unsupervised 5 year old. This year is off to a great start in other areas of my life, so I'm hoping this is also the year I make some lasting changes. I'm looking forward to getting there with all of you!

I want to start 30 Day Shred tomorrow too! I've gotten maybe halfway through it before and it worked amazingly well! I just lose motivation/use being busy as an excuse not to sweat. I'm really hoping to make it all the way through this time - I'm going on a cruise in March and want to look hot!

Just now getting in on this, but I definitely want to participate! I'm Lauren, from South Jersey. Age 35, height 5'5". Starting weight: 248 Goal weight: 150 Current weight: 248 Total weight lost: 0 lbs This week's successes: Logging my food regularly, consistently decreasing my calorie intake (still haven't come in under…

Woohoo! Let's do this! SW: 235.2 CW:234.4 July GW: 229.0

This sounds like a good way to get the ball rolling. I'm in!

I'd like to try this! House Tyrell please!

How did everyone's first week go? I have lost 4.4 pounds, and I'm feeling pretty good! I'll admit, I'd hoped for a few more in the first week, but I know I can't expect miracles, and I'm happy with what I've lost so far. Food prep has been challenging, mostly just because of the time it takes. It's been surprisingly easy,…

I can't speak from experience, as I haven't been in your situation, but maybe you can think about your weight loss in a more long-term way. I usually think of my goals as coming mostly from vanity, too, but then I realize that even though I'm healthy now, I won't always have my youth to keep me that way. I want to lose…

How's everyone doing so far? I'm on day 4 and so far have lost 4 pounds. I know it's largely water weight, and loss won't continue to be that rapid, but it's a great start! I'm struggling with breakfasts though - does anyone have suggestions for grab and go breakfasts that are very low carb?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is IF?

I'm in! I actually started yesterday, so this is day 2 for me. So far it's going really well! It has required a lot of planning and cooking, but it's worth it!

Hi there! I'm about to start a low-carb eating plan myself. I did it once back in college (about 12 years ago - eesh!) and was pretty successful. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months and I looked and felt great! Unfortunately, I wasn't smart about it and couldn't sustain the way I was eating. I didn't have the knowledge and self…

Hi everyone! I live in Atco, NJ!

I have been going over my calories lately too for a number of reasons. I was getting depressed about it but then realized that even if I'm not reaching my calorie goals, I was doing a lot of other good things, like drinking more water, walking more steps each day, cooking fresh, wholesome food, and having less sugar and…

I'm originally from Aurora (a little bit south of Cleveland). I live in New Jersey now but always love meeting fellow Ohioans. And we're still in the same time zone :smile:

I'm on day 3 and so far not doing too bad, but could be doing better. Welcome and good luck!

Trying to lose about 80 pounds and just getting started, I'll add you! I'm looking for more friends for support and motivation, too, so everyone please feel free to add me too!

Hi! I need some more MFP friends too, let's do this!

I'd like to try it! I've been on MFP for a long time and had some success here and there but keep backsliding. This time I'm having a lot of trouble getting started and this seems like it might be just the ticket!
