Like everyone mentioned, after doing 30DS, I purchased Ripped in 30 and it was the perfect next step. Slightly longer. But I would highly recommend this one for you. I also purchased Jillian's Boost Fat, Burn Metabolism which is intense cardio, no weights. Now that I've done all of Ripped in 30, I alternate between 30DS…

I'm 5'4" and weigh 150 right now and I took in 169 g in carbs yesterday which seems like a huge amount compared to all the other women responding. MFP has me set at 55% carbs, 15% protein, 30% fat. I've been doing very well averaging about 1 lb a week weight loss since December. Recently I thought maybe I should strive for…

You look amazing! Well done! I bet you aren't giving yourself enough credit. I'm guessing you could totally pull off a bikini!

For me, I just got totally sick of feeling tired and out of shape. I was done feeling sorry for myself. I was sick of my low self esteem and was ready to stop making excuses and just get off my butt and make the change. I think you really have to get to the point where you are so sick of being overweight that you are…

Sent you a friend request. I have 13 more to lose. We can support each other!

I have IBS and my biggest triggers are caffeine, carbonation, and stress. I've noticed ever since I've started eating more veggies, I've had more gas pains recently. I've started taking Digestive Advantage Gas Defense that I get from CVS. It's pricey but has worked well for me with eating foods that can trigger IBS…

Aw! You guys are going to make me cry! Your support means so much to me. I completely appreciate what everyone is saying about weight training being so important. I've been alternating between Jillian's Shred, her Ripped in 30, and her Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism - so muscle tone is definitely a huge goal for me. Glad to…

Thank you so much for your kind words. They're just the boost I was looking for. You are right, if I quit now, I would just keep wondering what if. I really am after some muscle tone this time around. I've lost weight before, but never combining exercise and eating right - usually I'd just eat less. Interestingly, it did…

I love drinking water and converted my sister-in-law who HATED drinking water when she saw my blue camelbak bottle filled with ice water. She said it just looked so refreshing that it made her want to drink it. Once she got one herself, she had no problem meeting her water intake goals. This is the one I have (.75 liter):…

I second Ripped in 30! It has slightly longer warm-ups and cool-downs, but the circuits are the same length. If you have some extra time, you may also want to try Jillian's Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism (it's about 50 minutes long total) - this one has some intense cardio, no weights, but can really kick your butt. I've been…

So it has been a week since I posted this and while my pants STILL aren't fitting better, I did take my measurements yesterday and found that since January 4th, EVERY single thing EXCEPT my waste has dropped at least a half inch or more. So something is definitely happening. I actually lost a whole inch in each calf which…

Maybe you haven't found a decent fat free ranch? I have never found a fat free ranch dressing that I like, but I use Marzetti's Fat Free Ranch DIP instead of dressing on the side and dip my veggies into it. It might be worth a try.

Everyone. I can't thank you enough. You all really have made me feel better about this. I know it's going to take time, and I'm sure my body is going into some type of shock because I've never worked my muscles this hard before. lol Maybe we can motivate eachother to stick with it!

Sorry all! New to myfitnesspal. I didn't realize you could make your diary public. It's visible now to anyone who wants to give me some advice. Alas, I've only been doing the logging for 10 days...

Thanks all for your motivation and support!!!!!! I started Nutrisystem right around the same time I started this journey so I've been following their meal plans. They have me eating a ton of veggies, but eventually I'm just full from the extra veggies and can't eat anymore, so often I am under the 1200 calories that my…

I'm also doing the 30 Day Shred. Started it a week before Christmas. Only really taken off a few days, but still have yet to lose any weight. :-( Haven't noticed my pants fitting better either. I'm going to stay with it though. I read somewhere that it takes your body 6 weeks to get used to working out. So I've told myself…

I'm in the US too! Would love to join! Really need the motivation! Starting weight it 163. I want to get down to 140! Haven't seen that number in over 12 years!!!
