Wow. So amazing and inspirational! Congratulations :]

I've been using Jillian's videos throughout the past month or so. I just recently bought Extreme Shed and Shred and have really loved the video and the different techniques and styles of workouts used. I also have been impressed with Yoga Inferno. I think all of Jillian's videos are great, though. It's nice having…

I like Jillian Michaels' yoga DVDs. They are sort of a cardio/yoga mix, so you get a great stretch but also get a pretty good burn. You can watch her first yoga video, Yoga Meltdown on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5nyrD4eM64) She has a newer one called Yoga Inferno which is much more cardio. I found it much…

I worked at a grocery store and was ringing up a customer I had seen several times before. I had lost like 20 or so pounds since the last time I saw her, so she was asking me how I managed to lose weight. I told her I was eating healthier and exercising and just taking care of myself. She told me she thought I had a…

I'm 23, almost 24. Feel free to add me. We could all use extra motivation and support :]

I've been a vegan for a little over six months now and have seen great results. I lost 15-20 pounds in the first few months and have felt much more energetic and just happier in general. I'm not going to lie, sometimes it is tough, especially as a college student on the go, but I look at it as a lifestyle change that not…

Sending positive thoughts your way!

Wow, that is incredible. You should be so proud of yourself. Congratulations!

Yes, definitely. I have been doing yoga off and on for over a year and have just started to get into more intermediate/advanced exercises and it has helped my flexibility a lot. You should give it a chance. It'll also make you more relaxed and help with your breath control

Thanks for the advice and encouragement, everyone. I'll keep at it & definitely try the bike idea

Count me in! I'm going to the beach for a week this month, so it will be a challenge, but it'll be great running on the beach in the morning and listening to those waves Good luck, everyone!

Congrats & sign me up! I just ordered the 30 day shred a few days ago, so I'm excited to try it out. I'm definitely going to use that calendar. Thanks for the tip!

You can't beat yourself up for one day of slipping up. We all have those days and they won't hurt your weight loss progress (It's just one day, after all). Just tell yourself you won't do that again for a while. This can be your "fatty-food day" for the month.
