Awesome! We are close in age, height, start weight. Life happened and ... well, here I am back on MFP starting over

Maybe my thinking is a little fuzzy at the end of a work day but I think we are still talking about WHOLE foods, just "processed" on our own counter top to use in our own recipes. Not processed and pulled from a can or cardboard box. I see no difference in using the processor or the knife in food prep. I use both methods…

I am Posting to follow later. I completed 30DS in April and was so happy with the results that it is my go-to jump start if I hit a plateau, which is what I am back to now. 30+pounds down and I want to see a few more gone by the end of the year. Best of luck to All... I will be shredding along with you, but on a 2-3 day a…

I have figured out this is what happens to me. I love good food, but it just isn't the same after losing 30+pounds and adjusting my brain and stomach to a new way of eating. Our family schedule demands a lot of on the road time and eating out, but I have leaned that the take out container is great. That is my teen-age…

46 single mom of 2 very busy kids, I've been logging 305 days exactly! 31 pounds down and slowly, consistantly progressing. And... I live totally in the real world. I exercise when I can and try to eat well the majority of the time. Life gets in the way and I'm not perfect but I will keep going until I reach my goals…

This is an excellent example of Machines/HRM/MFP. I have found the very same to be true. I tend to not log manually my exercise so I take the defauts on MFP knowing that if I walk/run I shorten my time a few minutes, etc... With that said, I do NOT "eat back" all of my burned calories daily. This has worked out well for me…

I love your story. What an awesome friendship and journey. Keep up the great work gals!

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred was my first video back in April. I swear by it. 30pounds and 2 pant sizes down must mean it works for me! I just started another round 11/1.
-
Great Job! Amazing results. I firmly believe in 30DS. I completed it in April and had very similar results as you. I am doing it again this month - about 3 days a week. I know there are other wonderful workouts out there, but for a quick, complete and body transforming workout this is TOPS!

There is another way to look at this. What is your motivation for 20 pounds. Is it to be down 20 pounds by New Years Eve as a goal number or is it to fit in that sexy outfit and you think 20 pounds will do it? For me, I have gradually lost 30 pounds over 10 months, however when I started doing a circuit training workout…

Girl, your progress in such a short time is nothing short of amazing. Those are terrific numbers. Such a great job! You should be so proud of your accomplishment.
-
I absolutely know what your are feeling. I had a couple of weeks where I felt the same. For me, it took paying attention to the diet again and eliminating some problem foods that I know were making me feel bloated and just bad overall. Although my scale didn't move I know that it was not paying attention to my food and…

I want to work with you. How fun. Oh, and you look awesome as well.

Mid 40's and Single... need I say more?

I'm 5'1" and currently at 165. I started 30 pounds heavier and we all know that is not good on a 5 foot person! Amazingly, even after 30 pounds down I have kept my 36D ??? I don't really have any other measurements but I have went from a tight 14 to a loose 10/12 depending on pant. My shirts were a large or xl and now…

We spend so much of our time being proud of our kids it is nice when they have a moment to be proud of us. ... and from a teenager that is really special! My 10 y/o daughter told me the other day while we were getting ready for a family function that I really need to get new jeans because mine were just too big and baggy!…
-
Absolutely the best feeling ever! Congrats! I remember the first time I tightened up my belt because my pants were SO loose! Now I put on old pants just to see how much looser they are. LOL!

I applaud your CHOICE to change your order at McDonalds. Due to our family schedule, sports, travel hockey, etc. we are in the vehicle and on the road with hotels ALL the time. I am the mom that is know for always packing a cooler of healthy snacks, fruit, water. However that means most big meals are in restaurants or fast…
-
Feel free to add me. I am not a super "loser" I am down 31 pounds in 9 months, but I am a consistent logger and will be here to help if I can. I'm a single, middle age, super busy mom of two kids - so I know how hard it is to do this. My first few months were all about FOOD - learning about it, measuring it, new foods to…

I have that son as well. He is 14 1/2 y/o 5'8, plays football, hockey, baseball, runs, etc. You name it he does it. And he wishes he was 120 pounds! He is a super eater and consumes a great variety and quantity of food not just junk. I was still, as a mother concerned so we consulted both our general doctor and his sports…

After 9 years of the holiday flips with kids and dad, I have discovered the past several years I am looking forward to "my time with the kids" and "my time without the kids". For years I would hang around my parents house, eat, drink, watch tv and nap. Now I make special plans with friends I don't get to see much, plan…

This is the best for helping them feel better after they are raw. At the drug store or Walmart look for PurLan. It will be in the ointments or in the Baby product section.

The past two weekends I have had to purchase some new key pieces for my fall wardrobe. The gal at work said I was starting to look like a bag lady and needed new pants. I was so happy to hear those words. Shopping with friends I tried on things I hadn't worn in the past 4-5 years and never would have tried if I was…

I started with 30DS and loved it and the results. Now I will pull it out and do it when time doesn't allow for a gym visit or when I need to mix up the routine a bit. I also increased weight and modified it a bit when doing it now.

Awesome NSV! You will be rocking both dresses.

I love Italian. A local restaurant here has a wonderful Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken(with olive oil) on a bed of pasta. I usually get the lunch portion on wheat pasta with a small side salad/low fat house dressing and have the glass of wine instead of the breadstick. My next favorite is a seafood selection with a grilled…

Just from my own experience, if I want a bite of a candy bar or a piece of candy I will have it. It is not often that I crave candy anymore which is great. Maybe if you break off one stick of the Kit-Kat (also one of my favorites) and put the rest in a baggie or dish and save for another time you will feel better about…
-
Since cutting out a lot of "bad carbs" and a lot of sugars I hardly crave any snacks. But if I do I reach for fruit, hard boiled egg whites, peanut butter, skim milk or almond milk or a few low cal/low fat pretzel crisps or Kellog 100 cal snacks or granola bars. I have always kept a big awful candy bar in my desk drawer…

Hey Barbara, I'm in (south) Decatur. I moved away to South Carolina and back to Peoria, IL, but now back in Decatur - where the family is located. Shout out to all the Central IL people.

Mid-state in central IL, good ole Bean Town.
