I'm 35 mother to one 5 1/2 year old boy. No more kids for me - but have struggled w/ my weight since having him. Feel free to "friend" me - I've got 55 total to lose and only got active on MFP yesterday. Good luck!

I've been looking for this clarification - Thanks for posting!

Question - I restarted 30DS last night. Did you take any days off? And, if you don't (which I think is what you are saying) - did you find that you are so sore that you get less out of a workout as you progress? I'm SORE today. I want to do W1 again tonight - but am wondering if my form will be bad or if I'll be able to…

Congrats - you look great! Would love to know your height!

FWIW - I've recently gotten rid of gluten. Entirely, in my diet. It may sound extreme, but once you get into it it's far easier than it sounds. I found, and you may as well, that wheat is a trigger for additional cravings for you. I love bread. I eat bread. I want more bread. It's a vicious cycle ... I find that if I…

JustJen - I'm really glad I'm not the only one who has to start on the first day of a week or month. :tongue: For that matter - and because my OCD so strongly desires rules and order - and 30 days of anything is like torture for me, I'm going to roughly plan my schedule for the remainder of April ... since I didn't start…

Can someone point me to how to enter exercise from a HRM? I have one - and think I'm getting a little more juice out of 30DS than the "circuit-training, general" give me. Either way, I don't want to over OR under count burn. But - I can't figure out how to enter exercise from HRM. I'm probably missing something obvious. KS

Tell us more about NMTZ - I get BORED with the videos - but love Jillian. How long is NMTZ? How does it compare to 30DS?

Hi, y'all! I'm Katie from Houston. I've started 30DS several times, done Workout 1 several times - but not every stuck with it. I've really never stuck w/ any work out for very long ... which I'm trying to change. Anyway ... Last night was my official "restart" with W1D1 - I'm going to do W1 seven times - maybe not in 7…

Congrats! You look great - keep it up! I HOPE to lose 40# in 7 months.

35 - And loving it!

Congrats! Y'all look awesome - and I agree, YOUNGER! Great inspiration for a newbie - thanks for posting!

This thread is hilarious. My family is from Northern Indiana / Greater Chicago, but I've lived in Houston for 31 years. So, while I consider myself a Texas, and at the very least a southerner - Native Texas call me a "yankee". And my friends at home thought we talked funny. But, family from "up north" make fun of my drawl.…

I'm also new. 35 w/ ~55# to lose. I've had a membership to MFP, but not used it in earnest until the past day. I'm adding all y'all as buddies! This seems like a really supportive and collaborative site.

I need buddies, too! I'm trying to take things "one lb at a time" - but I have a very hard time staying motivated. I've gained lost the same 20# over and again since I gained when I had my son - six years ago. I'm at 190.1#, my heaviest non-prego weight. I've "done" WW, South Beach, Clean, Atkins (ages ago) - you name it.…

Great pix - thanks for sharing. You look GREAT. I'm new to MFP and trolling for inspiration - I'm at my heaviest non-pregnant weight - 190.1. I'm mad I've let myself get this heavy ... and feel like the 55+ lb I have to lose is so insurmountable. But, despite having "done" every diet I've ever known of - I'm going back to…

Howdy! I'm a wife to a police officer. We're lucky / a-typical as we're on a very regular schedule right now. Unless there is a "project" in which case he works mad OT. But we did 8 years of nights and weekends - so I am well aware of that crazy schedule game. If/when he promotes we'll be back to swing or night shift and…
