You ar doing an Awesome Job! Keep up te good work. Hey I haven't posted a before pic either....lol.

Well today I'll be joining you all on the 30 day shred journey. I started back in early Feb and completed 13 of 30 days. I kinda jumped ship but back at it today. Day 1 of 30 (level 1) GOOD LUCK TO U ALL!

I'm 6'1'' and Love every inch of it. My mom always told me Tall Women command attention and I promise you when I wear flats and especially in 4 or 5'' heels heads really turn. :blushing:

Congratulations on your weight loss Success! I can't wait to say good bye to 200's myself. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations!!! You look amazing. Great job!

Hey! You are not alone. I am a Maid of Honor in my sisters wedding in June. I need to lose 30 lbs by May (dress fittings begin) so I would love to have my dress taken in a few sizes. I know I can do it! Losing 6 lbs per month for the next 5 months seems a lot easier to achieve vs setting an overall goal of --- lbs. I know…

Thank U all for the Add! I think its gonna push me to staying on track.

Thank U !

Alethea MYA December Update 12/12 - 2.00 miles Total 5.5 / 50

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. When I get stressed, overwhelmed and upset about things I'm going through I try to burn and release that negative energy by working out. Of course food does bring comfort in some cases but you will always feel as is a load has been lifted if…

12/1 - completed 1.5 miles (walking) 12/6 - completed 2.0 miles (walking/ jogging) :smile: total completed 3.5 / 50 Alethea

@ Dinos, thanks for the compliment U hit the nail on the head with my name :). Also thanks for the feedback regarding the ticker symbol. Alethea

Good afternoon, my name is Alethea and if its not to late I would like to join this challenge please :happy: . If i am able to be added to the group you can put me down for 50 miles for this month. This is my first time and I would like to achieve my goal. So 50 miles is great for me. How do u add the ticker?

U can always purchase a Heart Rate Monitor for better readings. I found one @ walmart for $28. I does give more of an accurate reading.

I agree with the others. I just purchased a HRM and I have been getting the most accurate reading of calories burned.

I'm going to suggest "The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout" dvd or Jillian Michaels "30 Day Shred". Both incorporate cardio, strength training and toning/sculpting. I remember the 1st time I tried both of them. I was short of breath and had to pause in the middle of them but I am now able to get through without having to…

Thank U All for your responses.

I just asked the question what do u do in this msg board... :smile: ... I totally understand your reasoning for why its probably best not to eat them. I am the same way. I try not to eat the earned calories because of the accuracy of total calories burned during a workout.

Wrong msg board..... Msg reposted in the general weight loss help board but if you would like to answer the question for me pls do.

Actually, I love cucumbers and generally I try to eat them as a snack. However, at times I find myself still giving in. My boyfriend would say "I thought u weren't suppose to eat that" and I would come up with an excuse in a flash....lol. But I'm getting out of that. I haven't really had the craving for chips as much just…

Well THANK YOU ALL for your feed back and support. Its much appreciated. I'm just excited about the idea of weight loss and being a healthier me again. I have a very supportive family and boyfriend so that helps a bunch as well. Trying to lose 20lbs is a task so you know what 40lbs does to your mind, your body and etc. But…
