I ruptured L4/5 five years ago and had instant excruciating pain. I was completely unable to stand or walk, had drop-foot (nerve damage) and had a hemilaminectomy and microdiscectomy within a few days. I woke up in the hospital with NO pain. Had 6 weeks of recovery, some rehab, and never felt the pain again. Then I…

Day nine done, and I actually didn't wait until the last waking moments of my day to exercise! I upped my weights today for a couple of the circuits, and I'm pretty sure I'll be feeling it in the morning. I'm mad at myself for "forgetting" to measure (aka being lazy and putting it off) before I started this... My weight…

Yay! We made it past the week mark. This is where I often lose motivation and start thinking, "Maybe I might just skip ONE day..." It's normally downhill from there. But I'm still here! I did take yesterday off, but I spent the day rushing through the Twin Cities watching my hubby run a marathon! The kids and I cheered him…

Congratulations! That's an awesome accomplishment!

I only had to rest once at the side lunge/squat strength exercise. My strength and endurance are getting better!!
-
Had to skip it today with all the craziness of my Thursday, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow. My morning is totally free, so in going to start my day with Jillian!

Ed - What an inspiration you are! I just spent the last half hour reading your blog with tears in your eyes. Your heart is bigger than the number on your scale ever was! You have worked so hard and come so far and, though I have never met you, I am so proud of you. Congratulations on this next step of your journey. Sending…

Wow! What a great attitude you have. Congrats on the amazing progress. And I agree, you look much younger in your current pics!!

Yay! My arms & chest are more sore today, but my calves feel so much better! I did about 10 minutes of downward dog & child's pose to stretch out after the workout, and I think that is making my legs loosen up a little more. (I was barely limping today, as compared to barely walking yesterday!) Wore my HRM today and…

Welcome! Glad to hear you had good results the first time. Here's hoping we can all say the same thing in a month!!

Today I could barely walk. I assume it's because of the cardio. My knees, which won't get any better until I have them both replaced, were killing me yesterday during the cardio running/jumping, so they, and my calves, were screaming at me today. Wasn't looking forward to day #2, and actually put it off until tonight. But…

Just finished level 1 day 1. I wish I had remembered to put on my HRM! I'm going to have to keep it right next to my hand weights from now on! Lee716, I feel the same way. I just got back from a weekend hiking trip and thought I'd be OK, but her workout makes me realize just how out of shape I am. Can't wait for the end of…

Hi, everyone! I'm Jen, from Minnesota. I'm 40, and a mom to two kids, ages 7 and 9. I am recovering from back surgery in June and am frustrated with how my weight loss is going. I lost 8 pounds on MFP but keep yo-yo-ing with them. I'm looking forward to combining strength and cardio to really change my body. I'm so glad to…

Count me in! Just got the video a few weeks ago, and am ready to get started. I'm going out of town for a while in the middle of the month, but will try to kick butt before and after my trip! Not looking to my before pics or measurements, but excited to see if I can use this to make a change!
-
Congratulations! You have put so much hard work into this, and nothing speaks more than the smile on your face in that triathlon photo. Thanks for sharing your journey.
-
Count me in, too! I just ordered it and am so excited to start once my kids go back to school on September 4! From what I've heard, it sounds like we will appreciate all the motivation we can get. :) I'm looking forward to saying goodbye to some inches!
-
My "babies" are 7 and 9, and I am finally making progress with losing some of the weight. I was in the best shape of my life when I got pregnant with #1, gained 44 pounds, and it's been downhill since then! :) I would love to be part of your motivation club! lol
-
You SHOULD be happy dancing! You have certainly worked hard to get here. Congrats!
-
Not only have you worked hard to transform your body, but I bet you feel AMAZING! Congratulations for making such an important change to your life!
-
That's wonderful! Great work.

To add a bit more to the picture, I went to fat2fitradio.com and used the military body fat calc to determine my body fat is 24%. Using that number, I figured my BMR using the Catch-McArdle formula and came up with 1656 cals (which is lower than my actual, tested BMR). That determines that, in order to lose weight and get…

OK, I would like to spin this off just a little. The numbers are all swimming in my head! I had my metabolic rate tested, and my resting metabolic rate is 1788. I'm 5'7", 173#, and want to lose a pound or two a week. I am currently nursing a herniated disc in my back and my activity level is almost nothing - walking around…
