  • Had already completed 30DS from late July-August (only took about 3 rest days). Definitely saw changes in the inches lost (only lost about 2-3 pounds). Went back to walking some jogging as my only exercise (although I did do Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism a few times). I felt I needed the arm and ab work from 30DS…
  • Smoke (not like cigarette smoke, but burning wood smoke).... good thing my husband is a fire fighter! Play-Doh!

  • My wonderful hubby supports me in many ways. One of the most important (in my eyes) is that he doesn't care to stay home while I go for a walk, and he's willing to watch the kiddos if I don't feel like taking them with me. Also, he's constantly telling me how hot I am, grabbing me and picking me up (which he can now do…
  • I'm in too! I love to walk, sometimes just for the company (go with my sister in-law). Sept. 1: 2.5 miles Sept 4: 3 miles so far (might walk more tonight)
  • Yesterday I ate fast food.... twice! Last night didn't really want to exercise, but thought I should. Did Jillian Michael's BFBM and was right on track with my weight this morning. Also walked 3 miles after putting my oldest on the bus this morning. WIN!
  • I love the whole time from Thanksgiving till Christmas. The decorations, the food, the anticipation. Everything about it makes me happy!
  • Was planning on starting this today, however can't find the videos online and don't really want to buy the DVD. Any suggestions? I thought about trying one of her other routines, but don't know if they're online or not...... bummed :(
  • 1) TV 2) My purse 3) Cup of water 4) notebook 5) son's Harley Davidson 3-wheel ride-on toy
  • Me too! Hello name twin!
  • Congrats to you! Every pound matters! You are an excellent writer by the way. You have a way with words!
  • I think you would probably be able to resist if you could see what alcohol has done to my dad. He's drank at least 10 beers every day for the last 20-30 years. This spring it finally caught up with him. He gained tons of weight (about 100 pounds), from retaining fluid in his stomach and legs. At the moment he is in a…
  • Your husband won't know you when he gets home! WOW! Great work!
  • I am 5'9". I started on MFP in January at 175. I made my first goal weight of 160. As I approached 160, I then lowered my goal to 155. I am currently 153 and don't have a "goal" anymore. I am working on toning up certain areas of my body and will continue to count calories and workout like I'm doing now. If I lose a few…
  • I have "only lost" 22 pounds, but.... - I've gone from a size 12 in pants to an 8/10 - I'm in the best shape of my adult life. - My husband loves to wrap his arms around me and pick me up, because it's so much easier to do now. - I like to play with my kids. - I like to exercise. - I've almost completed the 30DS and can…
  • Your eyes are beautiful! Great work! Amazing transformation!
  • Well, I made the New Year's Resolution to lose weight (not really a specific amount but did want to try to get from 175 to 160 by my 10 year high school reunion). I am currently 153-154 and working on toning up! By the way, my reunion was cancelled about a month before it was scheduled to happen. :) I feel that I have…
  • I'll be done with 30DS on August 26, so September 1st would work for me too! Can you get the RI30 videos for free online anywhere?
  • 1. I am scared of a lot of things: the dark, spiders, heights, etc 2. I love to hunt and fish. 3. I got married when I was 18 and my ten year anniversary is in November. 4. I think being a good parent is the hardest job ever. 5. I can talk in front of thousands of children (I'm a teacher) but you put one other adult in the…
  • Wow girl! You did wonderful! I'm currently about half-way through the 30DS and hope my results are as obvious as yours! Good job!
  • MFP tends to overestimate exercise calories. For instance: circuit training for 20 minutes (Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred) shows burning 185 calories. However, most people that have HRM have said they burn only about 150. Just thinking maybe you're overestimating your exercise a little. And if you feel that your clothes…
  • I didn't start until later and I'm on Level 1 day 9. So excited to be finished with Level 1- it's getting pretty boring, but I'm nervous about Level 2. I'm still sore in my thighs- which I assume means something is happening there. I do notice that I don't have to take hardly any breaks except during push-ups (which I…
  • Ok,so I'm several days behind, but would like to do this with you all. I've tried 30DS several different times, but never for days in a row. I will probably not do it everyday, because I walk/jog and do Zumba so I'll do it as much as possible. Good luck to me!
  • 2 things: My ten year high school reunion, and my 5 year old telling me I was round. I lost 20 pounds and then they cancelled my reunion- ugh! But I'm working to keep it off/possibly lose about 5 more. Feeling better than ever.
  • Before: about 175 lbs. http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q611/hreynolds11/me2.jpg After: About 155 lbs. http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q611/hreynolds11/me-1.jpg
  • I'm 5'9" and am losing weight for my 10 year reunion. At my lightest I was 145 (junior & senior year of high school), and at my heaviest I was 202 (Pregnant with my second son). I started this weight loss journey, if you will, at 175. My goal was to get to 160. As I was approaching 160, I changed my goal to 155. I have…
