I have almost the same story! I lost 60ish lbs about 5 years ago and was in great shape. I had my son in March and have about 30lbs to lose. I’m looking for some new active friends to keep me motivated. I will add you!

Adding you! I’m looking for more active friends as well!

I have always been really sensitive to carbs and do best on a high protein diet. I recently tried Keto but that amount of fat just seemed unnecessary and I didn't like it. However, it did teach me that health fats can help keep you full, and not all fat is bad. I eat about 45% protein, 35% fat and 20% carbs. Lately I have…

I've been avoiding posting on here, because I have to stop 30DS.. I've been struggling with some core/back issues. I went to the doctor yesterday and I have diastasis recti, my abdominal muscles are separated by about 2.5 inches. That's why I've been struggling. I'd been modifying some moves already, but apparently…

Level 2 day 9 today. Noticing a difference but not as much as I’d like.. I know it’s because I’m having to modify a lot. I will update measurements tomorrow!

Done with Day 6, level 2. I’m going to grad school and it’s midterms week so I’m bad at posting.. but I’m still in it!

You are not alone. I had a baby on March 13, which is the weekend the state of TX shut down. I had already been on bed rest prior to that for a month. I’ve been home for about 4 months now and have only left to go to the doctor (for the baby). I have an autoimmune disorder and my younger son has asthma so we don’t go…

Level 2 day 3 done. Took another rest day because I feel like I’m being a little too hard on my body. I felt better and had more endurance during today’s workout.

Level 2 day 2 done! Level 2 is a struggle for me. I feel like it requires a lot of strength that I don’t have, so I’m really having to dial it back. Today I added a little bit of elliptical at the beginning and in the middle to get my heart rate up.

Level 2 day 1 done! Level 2 was rough! I’ve done 30DS before and never had to stick the beginner moves before this round. I can definitely tell how lack of a strong core really effects my workouts. Easing into level 2 for sure!

Swapped my rest/active days around because I am a grad student and stayed up wayyyy too late the night before last. Today was my day 10. I'm going to switch to level 2 tomorrow. Here are my updated stats: Day 1 Day 10 Weight: 176 174.4 Chest: 39.5 38.5 Stomach: 43.5 42.5 Hips: 44 43.5 Thigh: 25 24.5 Calf: 14.25 14.5 Bicep:…

Day 8 done! Will update measurements after day 10!

Awesome!! Sounds good!!

Day 7 done. I think I screwed up on my day on the last post. Lol This is what having 4 kids will do to your brain! :D I'm feeling really good today and even went for a 30 min walk with my hubby and the baby before 30DS! I am ready to finish and see results already! I think I'm going to do Ripped in 30 in July.

It’s a channel on amazon prime, $6.99 a month (I think), the first month is free. It has all of jillian’s workouts and more! I love it so far!

Day 5 done! Yesterday was my rest day. I upped to 5lb weights today. I’m starting to feel more like my pre-pregnancy self, though I still have plenty of weight to lose. I like that I’m beginning to feel stronger. Bicycle crunches were easier today which is huge because day 1 I could hardly hold my legs at 90 degrees. Crazy…

Hi Melissa, I’ve had hashi’s for about 8 years now. I struggle with belly fat too. I’ve always assumed it was due to cortisol too.. I do best when I get cardio in daily. It really helps to lower my stress levels. During times of high stress (I’m a grad school student), I take a b complex vitamin. Something that’s been a…

Day 4 done! My abs are so sore. Jumping jacks were hard today. Lol

Day 3 done! I did not want to do today.. I’m just exhausted. Not to mention I am soo sore! I pushed through anyway and I’m glad I did! I know it’s days like this that can either make me or break me! I’m planning on doing Level 1- 4 days on, 1 day rest, then 4 days on 1 day rest. Then go to Level 2 and do the same.

Day 2 Done! Today was harder for some reason. My 2 month old was whining most of the time. In all fairness I could have chosen a better time to do it for him, but I really wanted to knock it out. Here's my measurements! Starting Weight:176 Chest: 39.5 Stomach: 43.5 Hips: 44 Thigh: 25 Calf: 14.25 Bicep: 13.5 Neck: 12 Wrist:…

I am going to rest every 5th day I think! So this Friday and next Wednesday.

Level 1 Day 1 complete! I did it with my 6 year old which made it so much better! haha I used 3lb weights this time around because I am trying to ease into strength again. I have 5lbs weights I can hopefully work up to pretty soon. Starting weight, 176. I'll update inches and weight lost every 10 days. Anyone have plans…

I am almost 3 months postpartum so I know I am going to have to do the modified version this go around. But my main goal is to rebuild my strength and hopefully lose inches in the process. I will take pictures and measurements tomorrow and post!

Thanks ladies! I think I added everyone! If I missed you or if anyone else sees this, feel free to add me!

I have an 8, 7, and 6 year old and just had a baby in March. It’s really hard to find motivation most days.. Especially while homeschooling my kids right now with covid. Feel free to add me! I have about 35-40lbs to lose and could use the accountability too!

I have 40lbs to lose too! Also looking for friends to keep me motivated and accountable!

I just had a baby March 13th too! I have about 35lbs to lose. Adding you!

I’m in!
