Stay faithful to your tracking. Exercise and drink lots of water! You've got this!

I biked 29km on a local recreational trail. Two solid hours of outdoor bliss.

My heart is delighted for you! Take good care of that tiny life and of yourself, of course!

I was obese with my pregnancy and I only gained 13lbs total. I actually lost weight in my first and second trimester. So long as you and the baby are healthy (and your doctor says it's okay), this is not out of the norm for overweight pregnant women. Best of luck and take care! Oh, my babe was also wee (5lbs), maybe you…

Holy flip everyone, if you keep it up with all the compliments I'm going to have to find something for my EGO to wear! A heartfelt thank you! Slow and steady.

Hi Jennifer, I have over 100lbs to lose. I feel your pain, I know where you are coming from but you CAN do this. Feel free to add me as a friend. I started off close to 300lbs and have dropped over 50lbs since January. See, it's possible. A lot of hard work but for someone pursuing advanced education and a single Mom, you…

This is for Little Compton, When I first started out I was at almost 1600 calories a day (1570, to be exact) and now I'm at 1340 calories. To be honest, at first, I exercised just so I could "eat back" my burned calories! I still do this if I have a special meal out planned but I exercise on a daily basis because it FEELS…

Thank you for your kind words and support. I'll hold them close whenever I'm feeling bummed or tempted. xo

ANNNND, of course I flubbed up with the pictures. Let's try this again, my apologies.

Mercy! Are you sure you are a Maritimer? Never had tea? GASP!! I love a good cup of orange pekoe (Red Rose, David's Tea, PG Tips) or if I'm sick I go for lemon or homemade ginger and honey tea. I'm a fan of pretty much all teas but tend to favour the black and green variety. My current favorite is brown rice green tea.

Charlotte-The name of the lake that I live on Harlot-Well, there's a little rhyme that we came up with years ago... Charlotte the Harlot the girl we adore. The pride of Lake Charlotte, the fishermen's *kitten*. Yeah, I grew up in a fishing community in the country.

Hi there! I'm from Nova Scotia (just up the coast from you, okay waaay up the coast ;) Please feel free to add me as a friend. I started off with the 30 Day Shred in January and now I am running 5kms 3-4 times a week with circuit training. I try to eat a very healthy and balanced diet and drink plenty of water. This site…

I live on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. I'd love me some Canadian friends!

I have the very same issue however, I was involved in two motor vehicle accidents last year and suffered lower back injuries and SI joint trauma. I went to a Chiropractor for a gait analysis and I have collapsed metatarsal arches (the arch that runs from your big toe to your baby toe). I ordered insoles for my sneakers…

The daughter of a close friend of mine has this condition. It can be controlled by medication. It took awhile for her diagnosis but she had similar symptoms: extreme thirst, dry lips, headaches, cannot quench thirst. She would get up throughout the night just to drink. They had to measure her urine outputs until the…

My NSV is that I can get outside and tend to my gardens (raking, pulling, general yardwork). This time last year I was too hurt from my car accident to even consider wheeling a wheelbarrow around the lawn! I'm getting stronger!! Pure joy.

Hey, I actually completed the 30 Day Shred in February but continue to use it when I want a "quick-ish" workout. Level 3 is great for maintenance. Jilliam Michaels puts together a really great and all-over program. I also like her Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD and Extreme Shed and Shred. Keep at the 30DS, you will gain…

Hi there, I always logged it under Circuit Training, general. That worked for me! Best of luck!

I was involved in two significant car accidents last year and as a result of my injuries I was unable to walk without great difficulty. I swore to myself that I would get stronger and recover. Sometimes it is still very painful working through my physical aliments but I feel like I was given a second chance at life and I'm…

Yep, I have extreme guilt and can't seem to relax. However, resting will bring down your cortizol levels and give your muscles time to repair...not to mention burn calories!

My name is Kelly and I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada. I live on Lake Charlotte, hence the name! I'm not really a harlot...really!

I need like-minded and weighted friends too! I started at 284.8lbs and I'm now at 251.8. Please feel free to add me!:smile:

I'll be celebrating with my family in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. My family is Irish (Williams) and I married into an Irish family (Corkery). I might even have a beer...or two! Slainte!

Hi there, My name is Kelly. I long on everyday too. I began my journey on January 10th, 2012. My starting weight was 284.8lbs, my current weight is 256.2 (I've lost almost 29lbs!!). I'm 5ft 4inches and hopelessly curvy. I'd love it if you would add me as a friend. I feel lonely because I have such a long way to go; my…

You definitely need to add in some strengthening with your cardio. You don't necessary have to alternate cardio and strengthening day to day but include lifting with all your workouts. Well, that seems to be working for me anyway. Best of luck!
