  • I was on here about a year ago, was really dedicated from May-August 2012, but then went back to school and all of that changed. Fast forward to this May when I graduated and had gained back the 12 pounds I lost last summer. I went on a trip with my sister and my boyfriend and I realised that a) I didn't like how I looked…
  • Hey there! I just started back up on MFP too :) Today is the 3rd consecutive day logging and working out since I started back at it on Tuesday. I'm already feeling great. So don't worry, you can do it :) I went back to school last year which took up all of my time. So I recently decided, no more excuses, we can do this.
  • Was able to touch my head to my knee while stretching after my work out, don't think I've been able to do that in awhile :)
  • Hi there! I'm on Level 3 Day 5 and I have definitely noticed a difference. I believe that I have lost a size, but I haven't bought any new clothes yet to prove it, but the ones that I am wearing are fitting really well and I have to tighten up my belt a lot more than before I'm finding. I've lost a few pounds, but for sure…
  • Heeeeelloooo from Ottawa (but originally from Bellevegas aka Belleville), anyone feel free to add me, could always use more friends :)
  • I just stepped on the scale to compare what I weighed a month ago to today, and the difference is only about 3 pounds or so. BUT! Do I feel better about myself, YES. Are my clothes fitting better YES. Do I feel healthier YES! And I've got some muscles starting to make an appearance so I say to hell with the scale, it's all…
  • I'm currently on Day 8 of Level 2 of the 30DS and I can totally see a difference, but I also do some extra ab and strength training for about half an hour immediately after I complete the work out, but it is totally worth it :) Even though I'm on Day 8 (I usually do it every day but have had a rest day each week) and feel…
  • Heeeeyo! I'm doing the 30 DS as well. What I do after doing the work out is I put 30-45 mins on my oven timer and do some extra stretching, abs and arm exercises. I also do a lot of walking in during the day, but I don't log this. With doing the 30DS each day and doing an extra half hour-ish of strength and stretching I'm…
  • Awesome NSV :) Today I'm wearing a pair of pants that were too small when I bought them and they fit just right, yay us :)
  • My bf and I wanted something sweet tonight but didn't have anything in the house. Solution= 2 cups 1% milk, 12 ice cubes, 1 tsp vanilla extract and a few spoonfuls of hot chocolate powder mix. Voila....milk shake :D
  • I'm open to really just about anything lol I know that doesn't really narrow it down
  • Hi all :) I'm Jess (insert that New Girl show song here). I've been living in Ottawa since 2006 when I came here for university at Ottawa U. Currently working 2 jobs, part time at Health Canada and part time at an optometrist. Thus, me sitting around all day sucks! I decided that because I'm turning 25 this year (in 2…
  • Feel free to add me as well if you like :) The more the merrier and I also don't have a ton of friends on here yet
  • I'm thinking the exact same thing that you are :)

  • Mine was more funny/misunderstanding than mean, but it still made me go "ummmm". I had a coworker (who worked in the same building but didn't know who I was), come up to me one VERY cold afternoon and told me that I should stay "bundled up for 2". Now to be fair, I was wearing my winter coat, a sweater underneath and a…
  • I hear you :P I have friends coming for the weekend so I won't be able to work out for the next 3 days because I just won't have the time. While I don't mind having a day off and am super pumped to see my friends, I'm kinda bummed that I won't get to work out for 3 days :S
  • I'm in the same boat. Started at 182, down to 176 right now after just doing this seriously for about 3 weeks. GW for me is probably 145. I'm currently doing the 30DS along with some other exercises.
  • I've been on Level 1 for about 2 weeks off and on (my parents came up for 3 days and then some friends came up the next weekend), so I will probably move onto Level 2 soon. I'm noticing that my pants are starting to literally fall down without a belt on :P. But I've also been doing about another half hour of ab and arm…
  • With 2 jobs right now it is hard to find time, but right now I'm doing the 30DS each day and then usually about a half hour of strength training (more pushups, crunches, weights, etc), so about an hour ish? :)
  • Tomorrow will be a week since I started and I already am feeling much better about myself and am feeling healthier :) Keep it up everyone :D
  • Well I'm having Strongbow's so I just searched for them and entered it into the food tracker thing :)
  • Ya today I did a bit of extra exercising and I entered in the drinks that I'm having tonight and I am still under my calorie intake, but only just ;)
  • Hellooo! I started yesterday, I haven't done much exercise lately, so while I was huffing and puffing, I felt that I could actually handle it. I assume that level 2 and 3 will be harder, but I like it so far today on my 2nd day :) My quads are sore, so I would suggest that after your cool down that you do more stretching…
  • Hi All, I just started the 30DS today, and while I was huffing and puffing (because I haven't worked out in awhile :P ) I didn't find that I was absolutely dying even though I did all the moves and was making sure that my form was correct. I am currently feeling it in my quads. My question for the rest of you is, are you…
  • I just started the 30 Day Shred today. While I was huffing and puffing by the end of it and I can feel it in my legs right now, I didn't think it was as hard as some people make it out to be? But then again my body might hate me tomorrow :P. Anyways my question to those who have done the 30DS, did you only do the 30DS for…
  • I also eat it just about every day with a tablespoon of honey, 3 tablespoons of wheat bran flakes and cinnamon :)
  • At first (like what I'm doing right now as it is also my first week :) I'm working out at home. My boyfriend had a friend burn the Insanity workouts and I've been doing those, not everyday but around 4-5 times this week I've done them. I also thought about joining a gym but I realized that I need to make time first in my…
