Here's my story... I'm 5'4" and a working mom. I was on MFP several years ago and got down to a size 8ish. Over the years I yo-yoed but stayed mainly around 150s. I was comfortable with that. I got put on some meds for depression last october and ballooned up to 195.6lbs. Heaviest I have ever been. I got back on MFP about…

truly an inspiration. I read the roadmap thing you posted on here and wow. That is a lot of information to take in. I'm sure if I understand it all, but I will keep looking into it while you do. To me the scale is nothing but a number. I'd rather look good and healthy and feel good and healthy than worry about some silly…

You had a major accident of course it's going to set you off track. You just have to set your mind to it and get your dedication back. Maybe you can try to do some of the workouts your trainer had you doing. In the words of my dad, it's mind over matter. Put your mind to it and get to work. Maybe little by little, but you…

I sure will tell her. It's kind of a given that you will gain all the weight back once you stop the diet. Silly silly people! LOL! I love MFP! It has changed my life! Helped my RHG and helped me lose weight and get rid of back pain by getting moving and taking some weight off. I could use some getting back into moving but…

Thanks everyone. Kind of my thoughts too. It sounded far fetched at best. I have been on here for a bit now and doing well minus the holidays set back. Was just curious about it because I had never heard of it. From what she said it sounded like shortened periods of just healthy eating. No plans to try. I have a specific…

any examples of what you eat in a day?

i too struggle with a sweet tooth but have been able to eat yogurt or sugar free popsicle or 1 square dark chocolate or something to curb the craving. It's very hard. I do the same things when I crash but I also throw in a little protein with the juice. This is just becoming a nuissance. I feel like we can't go anywhere…

I already space my meals out while i'm at work but I don't think I am eating the right combinations of food for said meals. You see I typically eat (this week for example) 8 am 2 eggs, light greek yogurt, and a piece of fruit for breakfast. I think eat something for a snack that is quick since I am at work typically just a…

I will be making this next week!

Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it!

I am about to start the last level of 30DS. I have today adn tomorrow left on level two. So far I have lost tons of inches but not really too much weight.

Hello all you wonderful my fitness pals! I am on Day 15 of the 30 DS! Let me just tell you NOT to get discouraged if you don't see a lot of movement on the scale. I am on day 5 of level 2 and so far on 30 DS i have only lost about 2.5 pounds... but i have lost 10.5 inches all over my body... make sure you drink tons of…

I will do Day 14 tonight... I am on my 4th day of Level 2. So far I have lost 10.5 lbs overall and lost about 2.5 lbs! I AGREE! I lovehatelovehate Jillian! She does get ya through it though when you think you can go any longer! I love this workout and I'm excited to do Ripped in 30!

So far I have lost 2 lbs with 30DS but a total of 10.5 inches off my body. I really think the scale may have been a little lower today if my muscles weren't recovering from the…

I am already doing good on the calories thing! I try to ride my stationary bike for 10-20 minutes a day as well. I unfortunately do not own a treadmill and have a full time job of mommy after I get home from my full time job at the television station! Do you think that is just as good as walking since I keep my speed (on…

AMAZING!!! Truly and inspiration

I actually have reactive hypoglycemia. this means if I eat something to high in carbs or like a bleached flour like white bread/crackers or potatoes my body overreacts the amount of insulin it actually needs and causes me to bottom out. Eating balanced is the key to manage any kind of sugar issues. My brother is also a…

I am currently doing 30 day shred. today will be Day 9 for me. The first level was a little hard the first few days but I have made it through it and I am ready to move up to level 2. As for results. In the first 7 days, I only lost 1 pound, but I lost a total of 7.5 inches off my body...IN JUST A WEEK!... If you eat right…

This seriously gives me major motivation thank you soooo much!!!!

Ripped in 30... It's another JIllian Michaels work out DVD.

I do it once a day and sweat the whole time. I also supplement with riding my stationary bike, but that is more for an energy boost than anything! Like earlier i was sitting at my desk almost asleep... went home for lunch and rode the bike and now I'm wide awake! I really hope I see some serious results. I definitely hold…

I had this and it was sacroilliac joint pain. I went to a chiropractor and got lined out and I haven't really had any pain since then. But Ice 5-6 times a day for around 20 minutes each time, aleve, and stretches helped keep the inflamation down and then muscles around the joint loose.

Thank you all for your help. I am just going to keep with it. I need to have my husband take some pics of me so that I will have them to compare. I am going to keep up with my water intake and really push in these work outs! I am going to do this right. I have been trying since my daughter was born almost 3 years ago to…

This is so inspiring. I am 5'3'' and started at 165 in a size 11/12 about 30 days ago. I am already down 5lbs and and into a 9/10. I have 25 lbs left in weight but would love to get down to a size 6 again. I'm on my way to it.

WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!!!! I am the same height and started around the same weight as you. This inspires me to truly push to meet my goal. I would like to get down to 130 too but I would be happy with 135 as long as I am tone.
