LOVE the bikini and your flat tummy is amazing!

Thanks, Jamie!

Okay, so I made the executive decision to let rawrkeia (Keia) in since she contacted me early this morning. Now, we are closed for real. Glad to have you Keia! :glasses:

Starting Saturday night, I will create a new message board called "CLOSED-Getting Ahead with The Shred!". It will be the new message board that we do all of our posting on. I will input everyone's stats onto this new message board. It'll just allow us to have a less cluttered, more private space. Until Saturday night,…

Welcome, Danika, rosalindphyllis, and Jamie! Glad to have you aboard! Jamie, it's totally cool that you're on Day 4 of the Shred, no worries. rosalindphyllis - You didn't give your first name. If you're not comfortable sharing that information, that's totally cool. What would you like us to call you? Feel free to check in…

Welcome, Ginny! Encouragement is what we're here for! Glad to hear you're recovering and glad to have you with us!

Welcome, Theresa! Ripped in 30 sounds fine to me! Definitely pick up 30-Day Shred next time you're in the city or order it on Amazon. But welcome to the team!

Welcome, Tina! I hope to see more people join the group over the next few days but even if they don't, you and I can be lean, mean, motivating machines for each other! Looking forward to getting to know you better!

Walmart, Target, Barnes and Noble, Amazon...

As I'd feared, I tipped the scales in the wrong direction today. I weighed in on Thursday last week at 183 lbs and this week I am 183.25 lbs. Not a huge gain, but enough to bum me out. But I have to make peace with the fact that I did not try my best this past week and that, starting today, I'm giving it all I've got. That…

This week is not turning out quite as I had hoped. I have learned that good intentions are wonderful but that ACTING on these good intentions is what produces results. It is not enough to BUY Jillian's 30-Day Shred; I also have to actually DO the workout. Also, just because a food has a lower fat/calorie content does not…

Wow, I'm impressed! And proud of you! I love that feeling when you finally prove to yourself that you can do something and it only makes it better when you have loved ones around to witness your victory. Props to you for powering through and props to your hubby for being so supportive and patient! Great work all around!…

I have been having an unreasonably hard time keeping my water intake up to the amount where it needs to be. I think tomorrow I will go looking for a water bottle that holds more liquid so that I can have that with me at all times instead of having to try and fool with four Poland Springs bottles a day. Also, I think that…

I'm wondering if the daily challenges can be posted here as well as on ski8r's status updates? I did well today in terms of food/calories, could do better in terms of exercise.

Hi everyone, Today was tricky but not a total loss. It's the first day I've had with my bf in 3 weeks so we had BBQ chicken pizza for dinner. I only had one slice and was full and I logged it, so that was good. I didn't go over my daily Coke allowance nor did I eat dessert. I count those things as a win. I bought Jillian…

Hi all! I'd love to know everyone's first name, age, and where they're from if you're comfortable with sharing that information. My name is Michelle, I'm 26 (27 in October!) and I live in Massachusetts. My goals for this week (until next Thursday) are as follows: 1.) Get to the gym at least 4 out of the 7 days. 2.) Take at…

Wearing a Santa hat, he patted his knee and said "Come tell me if you've been naughty or nice..." It'll be 5 years this January that we've been together, LOL! :love:

Rules: #1 Weigh in on every Thursday (because today is September 1st) #2 Check in here daily about how you are doing #3 Every Thursday, post the process goals you want to focus on for that week. These can be the same goals every week, or you can change them as you see fit! 1. I weighed in at 183 lbs this morning. 2. I am…

I have been under calories every day except for one day where I was over by 80.

The problem with many diet products for me is that they have artificial sweeteners which are triggers for my migraines. It's really unfortunate and frustrating but it's probably for the best that I try to get off any kind of soda altogether. Thanks for the suggestions, though! :smile:

I am phasing out the soda. I have to do it slowly because I get caffeine headaches which trigger my migraines. I am down to 1 Coke a day from 3-4, soon it will be half a Coke per day and then none!

A spaghetti-strapped, body-hugging, fire engine read mini-dress with matching stilettos. And a bikini. :love:

#1 - Introduce yourself in two or three sentences about why you want to lose weight. #2 - Stats #3 - Your biggest obstacle(s) that have stopped you from losing weight in the past #4 - A picture that inspires you to lose weight 1.) My name is Michelle and I have struggled with my weight since puberty. In addition to wanting…

I'm 5'2" and weigh 183 lbs. My goal weight is 110 lbs. Let's be friends!

Let me know if there is room for me...the third woman and I responded at the same time. My stats: 5'2"-5'3" MFP Starting Weight: 200 lbs. Re-start Weight: 188.75 (08/22/11) Current Weight: 183 (08/31/11) Ultimate Goal Weight: 110

I'm in!

Don't throw the day away! I am guilty of that and Coke is my weakness. Just be as good as you can for the rest of the day. I try to keep three things in mind (corny, but they help me): -"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." -"A year from now, you'll wish you'd started today." -"No matter how slowly you're…
