The 30 Day Shred is awesome! It combines Strenght, Cardio and Abs in a 20 minute intense workout. You start off on Level 1 and do 3 minutes of strenght, 2 minutes of cardio followed by 1 minutes of abs for a total of 3 sets combined of different exercises. The combination of these exercises have proven to have had great…

You look beautiful :)

I have 3 & 5 year old daughters. I know the challenges it presents. WHen I was ready to lose weight, I started counting my calories and working out at home. I have lost 51lbs and have 7 to go. MFP with calorie counting, DVDs and alot of determination had gottne me here. I bought Hip hop ABs (30mins) Turbo Jam (20 mins) Tae…

BTW....trick for salad dressings : When you go to the restaurant and you don`t know what the calories are in a dressing, ask for it on the side. When it is time to eat your salad, dip your fork into the dressing then get that salad on the fork. You still get that amazing taste without the extra calories.

I am eating 1200 calories per day. When I exercise I eat half or all those calories depending on the day and how I feel. I drink 8-12 cups of water per day and I exercise 3-5 times a week minimum. Each person is different, so you need to figure out what is best for you.

I am in ! I have been in for the last 4 weeks and have lost an additonal 6 lbs to the 44lbs (used to be 183lbs) that I already lost. I now have 8lbs to go to reach my 125lb goal. I am 5`2. The last 10-15 lbs are supposedly the hardest, but ladies .....I think we can kick *kitten* ! We got this ! Look how far we have…

Thank you ! It just motivates me more to want to keep at it ! :happy:

That is awesome ! I understand where you are coming from.... I used to barely be able to do 5 push-ups and now I can do 30 ! WTG !

Great job ! You rock !

I started Level 2 last week. Level one had gotten to easy.... But level 2....woweee ! I didn`t think I would make it through at first. It is much harder, but the results on my body are amazing. I can`t stand Jillian but she gets results.... I think I dropped an other inch from my waist...thanks to The 30DS....Just keep…

As long as you stick to you calorie goals and have a deficit of 3500 calories at the end of the week you will lose weight. -3500 calories = 1 pound ....so the bigger the deficit at the end of the week the more you will lose. But slow and steady wins the race. Your choices seem healthy....if you can eat the same thing all…

You did great ! Good job !

Thanks ! I am going to check it out. So far I logged Zumba under cardio.

We all have bad weeks and ups and downs. It isn`t easy. Trust me! I understand ! I have been on this weight loss journey for almost a year now and there have been plenty of bumps in the road. The one thing I have learned is that nothing good in life is easy. So you had a terrible week ! It is what you do about it today…

Eat when you are hungry.

HI there ! Since you have a health condition that prevents you from exercise, perhaps you should try walking or swimming, Or talk perhaps to a professional (perhaps a trainer) who can work around your health condition and find the appropriate exercises for you do achieve your goals. Good luck :)

Plateaus sucks but it is great when we get off it ! Congrats ! Keep up your good work ! I am hoping to get off my two-week plateau soon .

Agreed !

Eating two times a day isn`t good. Your metabolism will slow down. You are better off eating little meals but more often because it keeps you burning calories and your body won`t go into starvation mode. Unless you have problems digesting after 8pm, eating at night shouldn`t be an issue, it is a myth (unless you are…

It is easier to gain than to lose. It is easier to eat than not to. Chips taste better than celery. But the one thing I learned this past year is that anything good in life is always harder. You can do this ! You seem like a strong minded opinionated individual..... just take that energy and apply it to weight loss. Now…

I am one of those people that bake treats every so often and then bring it to work to share. I leave it in the kitchen for those who wish to have a snack. I do not force anyone to eat what they don`t want to. I have lost 50lbs, and I have self control and stick to my calories. No one can force me to eat what I don`t want…

For my first pregnancy, I had hot flashes that would wash over me. I took a test and it was negative....a few days later I took and other one and BINGO I was pregnant. I was extremely tired for the first 3 months... but had an amazing pregnancy. For my second pregnancy, I didn't have any symptoms , but since we were…

I personally do it every other day. Because the 30 Day Shred contains strenght training, I like to give my muscles a rest. So on the other days I eth do Tae Bo, Turbo Jam or Hip Hop Abs to get some cardio in. There are days I only do the Shred....other days I walk and do the 30DS or do a cardio DVD and the 30DS. All…

Montréal, Québec.... Lost 49lbs with MFP. Have had 2 baby girls in the last 5 years. It is important to be healthy and you are on the right track. Just get back into your healthy routine and everything will fall into place :)

Maybe see if she wants to join a weight loss challenge with you.... create one or find one on MFP... . Tell her you need to partner up with someone, that you are having a difficult time and need her help. You can say it is more motivating to lose weight when you have someone to do it with ....and then tell her about MFP...…

I bought leggings that look like skinny jeans. Way more comfortable ! So everyone thinks you are wearing skinny jeans, but your body is comfortable in your leggings !

You are looking good!!! I am the same height and have the same weight goal of 125. It says for our height we should weigh between 101lbs and 136lbs.... so right down the middle is good for me. I went from 183 to 134lbs.... 9 left to go....but 130 would make me really happy !

You are doing great !

Smokin't hot ! Congrats !

You look beautiful ! Congrats and good job on all your hard work !!!!
