I am currently on my 3rd week of 21 Day Fix and I LOVE it! I have been logging my foods with MFP for over a year and still struggled with meeting my macros as well as eating a balanced diet each day. 21 Day Fix has helped me tremendously with my portion control and I am meeting my macros EVERY SINGLE DAY!! I love the…

I have no idea how to make my picture smaller! Help if you can!

Holy Moly!! You are doing AWESOME!!! Only 30 days huh? That is AMAZING progress! Imagine what your pics will look like next time! Congrats!

I have lost 22 lbs in 10 weeks. The first pic was taken in September 2012. The second pic was last week. I keep looking at this picture for my motivation to keep going! It does work!!

One other thing that has worked for me: I cancelled my cable! I was finding myself and my boys sitting on the couch in front of the TV way too much. Instead, I signed up for Hulu Plus. If I want to watch a show, I watch it on my iPad while on the treadmill.

I have just been watching what I eat! I try my hardest to stay away from processed foods. I walk at least 8,000 steps a day but strive for 10,000. I will do some sort of strength training every other day. I like to mix up my workouts because I get bored very easy!

Thank you everyone! If there is any advice that I can give it is: 1. Keep at it! Don't give into the mental battle. 2. Take pictures!! They are HUGE motivators!

I have tried and failed numerous times also! However, I was 'dieting'. I did not see it as a lifestyle change. I saw it as a quick fix and then thought that I could go back to what I was doing and be okay. I learned pretty quickly that I can't do that! Please don't get discouraged! You have no idea how startled I am at the…

Thank you so much for all of the support!!! I took the current pictures this morning in the bathroom at work. I went to wash my hands and gasped at how much thinner I looked. I immediately grabbed my phone and took the pics!!

I am in! I am shooting for 50 miles!

Level 1 Day 1 Complete! Here are my stats: CW: 212 Neck: 15 Waist: 42 Hips: 50 Chest: 39.5 Bust: 45 Thigh: 22 Arm: 13

All 3 levels are on YouTube for FREE!!! Each level is only 20 minutes so you could easily fit them in with your other exercise commitments. With that said, I am in! I will start, again :-(, tonight and I will post stats then too!

I find the best way to do it is to take my kindle, get on the elliptical machine and just read. Or take an iPad and watch something. Just fool your brain into thinking it's on the couch when you are actually crushing out some exercise... [/quote] I will actually watch an episode of Modern Family or another "30 minute"…

I hated exercising too until I found started doing things that I love! I love to dance so I will do dancing workouts. I have to take my dog for a walk so I just walk a little bit faster. I also do my workouts in 20 minute increments. I find it very daunting to say that I need to get in 45 mins to an hour of working out.…

Thank you very much! I wouldn't trade being a mom to an autistic child for the world! He has taught me so much about life in his short 8 years than I have my entire life. My boys are my biggest motivation to take care of me so that I can better take care of them! Contgratulations on your successes so far and in the future!

Girl (not sure if you want me to use your real name on here) you have been my biggest cheerleader! Thank you so much for your daily encouragment! You are also doing amazing!!

Thank you! It is so much more than I expected and I want everyone to feel this good about themselves!

I can't wait to post the success pics! It was very hard for me to take those beginning pictures!

Why Thank you! That is definitely the plan!

Please don't ever feel alone! That is probably the one thing I love the most about this site! None of us are alone. We may be far apart but never alone!

Thank you! I am the happiest I have been in years (aside from the day my boys were born!)! I LOVE IT!

Thank you & YES it is!!

What were your calories before and now? Good job on the weight loss so far!
