I weigh in first thing, in my exercise clothes, just before doing 30DS, so 3 or 4 times a week. Because I only allow myself to weigh in in my 30DS clothes, if I want to check my weight, I must do my exercise! Probably a bit silly, but does give me the little extra motivation to get up and exercise! I only log and weight…

Lots of squats in the limited exercises I've been doing have clearly been the key factor in losing inches around my hips/bum, which has enabled me to drop a Jean size with 14 lb loss - from 189 to 175 at 5 ft 3 in.

LOL! But loose sounds soo much more!

Oh wow, really nice progress. Well done

I'm finding that eating an extra 100-200 calories on the days I do a good workout works, but no more.

Well done!

Thanks for this. I've been doing the shred 2-3 times per week for 3 months now around other exercises on other days. Definitely helps to mix it up!

Eat a bit more during the day so you are not hungry, and then go cold turkey for a few nights to get your body and mind adjusted. It will be tricky but could really help you get over it. A bit like controlled crying for babies!

Cheers to that! Well done

I'm 5'3" and started at 189lbs a squeeze into size16 bottoms and 18 tops. I'm down to 173 and I'm now a 14 bottoms and baggy 16 / tight 14 in tops. I'm aiming for a comfy size 12 which I think will be 140-150lbs. I'm uk sizes

I just bought some of that new chocolate philidelphia spread. 86 cals per portion I think!

I borrowed it from a friend and just did the fit test. Don't think i'm going to do it everyday as I have already got other things on and haven't enough time, but I'm going to give it a good shot. Good luck to you.

Me too

Ok thanks

I record as 20 minutes circuit training

My husband is training for a sprint triathlon and the JMs 30DS level 2 or 3 about once a week to mix up his training. He loves it. My 24 year old brother is naturally skinny and does some weights at home and walks 45 mins to/from work each day and stands up all day. He tried level 3 and thought it was killer. Definitely a…

I do all my exercise first thing in the morning. If it's the 30DS, I just drink water, do it, shower, then breakfast. When I go to a boot camp class, I get up earlier to eat oat/bran small breakfast 1 hour before, do the class, shower, get to work and have another breakfast!

We are a family of 4 all eating healthy. At the supermarket this week, I got the following veg: 1kg carrots, 2 cauliflowers, 4 broccoli bunches, 1 big bag spinach, 1 big bag kale, 300g sugarsnaps, 300g baby corns, 300g French beans, 150g stringless beans, 500g mushrooms, 400g tomatoes, 1 bag mixed salad leaves, 2…

Yep! 40 is just under 2 years away for me and a real marker in the sand for getting my body and fitness back after a child rearing 30's.

I'm closer to 5'3" but want to get to around 135 - 145, whatever is a comfy UK size 12. No point being in-between sizes! SW 189, size squeeze into 16 CW 176, lose 16

I once once there too. Thigh gap took months of eating an apple or yoghurt per day and came with constantly feeling I'll, having no energy, not sleeping, lack of concentration and grey skin with limp hair. There were probably other symptoms too, but these are the ones I remember. I was a very thin, but sad, 15 year old. Do…

I have two kids, aged 5 and 2. Both times I put on about 40 lbs and breastfed exclusively for 3 months first time and 4 months second time. In both cases, when I first introduced bottled feeds, I had returned to about 5 lb BELOW pre pregnancy weight, but both times then gained weight and by the time the baby was 6 months I…

I weigh in on Saturday morning and if I've lost, I take that. If not, I weigh again Sunday and take that.

I've found for my early morning Boot Camp class, which is pretty intense for me, I can work harder and last the day better if I have breakfast before and after! So that's bran / oats museli with sultanas, nuts etc, with a little skimmed mil and some added blueberries.

I've also loved nikes, but now I've got Brookes which I would highly recommend. Good support around the ankle, space around the toes and plenty of bounce!

I'm finding it a great option for easy calorie controlled meals. I add 250ml skimmed milk, 2 or 3 portions of fruit and 3-5 portions of veg per day plus sometimes ryvita cracker bread with the soups. It is more expensive than making your own meals, but really good to get you into thinking about what will work, what portion…

Wow, well done, you look great and so much younger!

Looks better than fish, chips and mushy peas! (my favourite before the calorie counting!)

30 day shred level 2 done.

Congratulations for having the determination to stick with it given what you have been eating, you must be so hungry! Looking at your diary, MFP gave you 1890 for a reason, that's what you should be aiming for. Try to add some vegetables to your meals, and some fruit at breakfast. You also need a couple of snacks per day,…
