Good Job!

NICE JOB!!!!!

I was the exact same a year ago,146 and now I am 178! I am so ready to get back on track too!

HI! You can add me on here! I am trying to lose about 30 pounds (more) I had lost a lot of weight but have gained so much back in the past year so I am at it again.. This time I have made some decisions and changes and KNOW I will be able to maintain. I know what it feels like wearing a size 6 shorts because I DID LAST…

Food. Good food and Junk food I do great but then I get into these modes where I just want to eat a lot! ugh Carbs............. my addiction

You are an inspiration! What a wonderful story!

Keep going. after day three the pain starts to go away. I felt the same way :)

I lost 12 pounds with the shred and it was the start to my 54 pound loss :smile: I also lost a lot of inches too! I am so thankful for the day I started the shred!

Chew Gum while you prepare their foods. Gum and pretzels don't go together! :wink:

I mean.. it wont bulk you up if you are a girl.. guys that do want to bulk up will bulk up nicely..It shows you how to gain muscle or gain lean muscle.

Also, P90X.. it tones you up really nice. I think insanity is mostly cardio.. like insane cardio.. lol But p90x is a nice mix of both, and you build muscle, but you don't bulk up.. you build lean muscle, and muscle helps to burn fat even when you are sleeping. Go with p90x! :happy:

I am doing P90X right now.. I am on day 64. I have lost about 20 pounds so far and went down about 3 jeans sizes. I would definitely start with p90x first... insanity is a little harder and you want to break in a little slower than just jumping in to insanity.. in my opinion.

For me, they went away. Now at night I look forward to apple slices, dipped in Peanut butter or Almond butter. I heard it takes 3 weeks to pick up a new habit.. and to drop an old one. For me, I kid you not, 3 weeks and I was craving apples. I used to hate apples! They say "you crave what you eat"..this proves true! Just…

I love this!

add almonds, cheese, protein shakes and peanut butter...etc. I had the same problem at first.. once I started adding more protein rich higher calorie foods (that are HEALTHY) I started losing weight again. Never eat under 1200 calories...EVER or you will not lose weight. You may at first.. but it will slow and eventually…

I do not know that this will help.. but I bought a bodybugg, it is a device you wear on your upper arm each day and it calculates your TOTAL calorie burn for the whole day.. midnight to midnight. MFP says I burn an average of 1700 or so calories a day just being inactive.. my bodybugg tells me that I burn about 1300 being…

From now on, try and divide your calories up a little more. It makes it really hard when you have that large of a deficit at night :) Try and eat more for breakfast and then taper off as the day moves on, making dinner your smallest meal. but leave a few so you can have a snack after dinner too! :flowerforyou:

That is AWESOME!!!!! Good for you, what an accomplishment! :) I can run for 1 minute without stopping, I am 37 and You have inspired me :flowerforyou:

Don't forget to eat back the calories that you burn exercising! :) I never feel deprived. I burn an average of 200-300 calories a day with my workout which bumps me up to about 1400-1500 calories. If you are not eating back your exercise calories, then you WILL be deprived. Your body needs that for energy.

There is also Jillian Michaels for beginners... they have one called frontside and one called backside... I would have started with those had I known about them before I started with the 30 day shred. Also I have the biggest loser cardio max.. I haven't tryed that one yet, but I watched it ... It looks good! (I love…

After never working out..EVER... I started with The Jillian Micheals 30 day Shred. It is only 20 minutes a day for 30 days. It leaves you with great results! I lost 13 pounds with it (and healthy eating) But it also leaves you a big sweaty mess! haha.. But I think this is the best workout ever, she doesn't mess around and…

Welcome! This is the best place ever!!! :)

I am so there! :)
