In a land down under

I did the challenge and lost 11 and post challenge maintained the eating habits. I've plateaued so I'm starting another challenge when it gets here next week & can't wait, for me the key was to increase my water to flush all the nasties out, that fiber cleanse can also hit you unexpectedly if you weren't a super "clean"…

Super brave to talk about that journey, very inspiring, good on you!

I am restarting my 30 day shred today, started about 2 weeks ago and didn't cool down properly and limped for 3 days, so glad I found this thread, I want to do this and post my before and after pics when I'm done with round 1!

You ladies look great, so motivating! I'm 5' 6.75" and have about 75 to go overall so this is helpful!

HAWT. Nice job! Hoping to have the same bragging rights here in a few months :)

Ring that only fit on pinky now fits on ring finger. *win*

Thank you, hurting today because I started the Jillian Michaels shred series this week, but I don't want to be skinny-fat. Going to take a stab at it again tonight!

I lost 40 in 2013, gained back about half, and started back in again with New Year. Down 14 lbs and determine to get to my goal size this time, we got this!!

Granted but there's an apocalypse and now the burden of oxygen and world food supply is on you. I wish I had my own island.

Granted but you develop a raging case of Athlete's foot and green hair that won't go away. I wish my cell phone had infinite battery power.

up yours

I sometimes have the same issue and find myself in the bathroom asking, how do I work this thing? Oatmeal, yogurt and coffee seem to be my magic sauce, hope you find yours!

Muscle also burns more calories at rest, say while you sit at your desk at work, than fat. So even working out some and increasing muscle mass slightly or in very least maintaining muscle mass will help you burn more calories when you're doing passive things, like sleeping!

I noticed you have some nice tats and was wondering, did the placement of these or appearance of these change while you lose weight? I have one in a safe spot on my shoulder, but want to get more and not sure since I am a work in progress and don't want to get something that will look "off' when I'm done! Thanks!

Single parent and don't want to invest in a gym just yet until we get our scuba trip paid for! Have lost all my weight so far outside on my own. Just making really sure I don't go over my carb counts, walking/running many miles and also addicted to WII Just Dance, going to try out the UFC workout game I just got as well.…

Family comments are definitely the hardest, the best I've gotten so far is a look of huh, then, "you look more comfortable in your clothes" But coworkers and good friends are the best and always have lots of props for me, so I've learned to ignore the embedded judgment families have because of the image they have in their…

PERFECT!

Meh, that's just bad wardrobe mostly! I still wouldn't kick him out of bed..... ...

Before I started working out my face had really annoying small breakouts on my cheekbones. When I changed my diet, working in a lot more fruits and veggies and cutting out restaurant food, which is killer in sodium sometimes even on the healthy low-cal options, my skin cleared up very nicely! I don't wash before I workout…

Let's hope! Last week threw a loop into my good intentions and the 100+ degree temps makes me do my stuff at like, 10 at night, so want to get started on this by end of month. Let me know how you're progress goes and I might get motivated beyond downloading the app and working on my playlist lol!

I just downloaded the app (just searched C25K for Android and it came up right away), I've been walking outside for 6 weeks and have had the urge to start running, so I think it's time! Going to get the right support tonight (large chested friends you know what I mean), looking forward to seeing how this works. Even…

Love it! Great job!
