  • A co-worker of mine said to me "You're like shrinking". I haven't measured or weighed for 2 1/2 weeks (I was becoming obsessed with the scale and now I just want to listen to how my body looks and feels to me!!!) It was a HUGE confidence boost and a motivator hearing that this morning!
  • I'm here! Today was day 6 level 2. I have ran 2 5K races the past 3 weeks so I am behind due to race days and training. The planks in level 2 are intense but my body is feelingb good!
  • Amazing transformation!!! You look fabulous.
  • I always make a low-calorie chicken salad with it!! Mayo with olive oil Celery onion seasoning anything else you want!
  • Amazing post!!! You saw my status, so I definitely needed this today!!! :happy:
  • I feel the same way girl!!! But I just keep telling myself the scale and weight are just a number though. Did you take your measurements at the beginning?? I think that is a real determination especially since we are obviously gaining some muscle and strength. I can do WAY more today than I could day 1 level 1 and to me,…
  • Awesome job!!! Getting back out there and running in a race is an amazing feeling!!!
  • I am was the same way with the nicer weather, and I was out of town over the weekend. I am doing Level 2 Day 1 today!
  • I too have suffered from bulimia in the past. I went 8+ years with binging and purging, mainly because even though I was 120lbs, I didn't see myself as that. My weight never fluctuated until about 5 years ago when it slowly crept up and the binging increased. After going through treatment and recovering, my metabolism and…
  • I felt the same way when I figured mine out!!! I am supposed to be at 2026 based on mine, but I set my MFP calories at 1900. This is my first full week of doing it this way. My first 3 weeks on here I was set at 1200 and not always eating exercise calories back and only lost 2 lbs!! The more I read about EMTWL, the more it…

  • All feel free to add me! Just joined this group Friday and am learning the ropes of EMTWL. Would love extra friends and support!!
  • SW: 187 GW: 175 weigh ins: 10/10: 187 10/17: 187 10/24: 10/31: 11/7: 11/14: 11/21: A little frustrated I haven't seen the scale budge. I did take 3 days off in a row though because I ran in a 5K Sunday, so obviously didn't do that day, and I rested Sat. and Mon. And I went to Monday night football game no at Soldier Field…
  • The same thing happened to me over the summer. I love dresses, but they can be deceiving! I went to my jeans on when the weather turned cold and the ones from last winter (which I already hated the size of) were way to snug. I knew I had to do something about it! I've been on MFP for a few weeks now and have been feeling…
  • I start Level 2 on Thursday. I took Sat and Sun off this weekend because I had a 5K yesterday so I'm a little behind!! I'm definitely nervous for level 2 though!!!
  • I ran my first 5K last November and have since done another, plus an 8K back in March. The races are so fun!! I'm not super fast, I run about 11:30min/mile, but I enjoy them! I have another one on Nov. 4th as well. I'm hoping that the cardio pieces in the shred are helping with my endurance. Good luck to you, too!

  • Today is Day 6 for me. I started the 30DS on Friday and am taking 1 rest day. I haven't lost any lbs either, but have lost an inch in my waist. I haven't measured everything else though. I wanted to wait until the end of level 1, but I felt my pants were looser so I had to measure :) Don't get discouraged by the scale!!!!…
  • I just came upon this group and decided to join! Today is day 6 of 30DS level 1 for me... my first time doing the workouts. It definitely has gotten easier over this short period of time! Day 1 and 2 were killer!! I would love other friends and people to keep me motivated and encourage each other to get to day 30! Feel…
    in Day 6! Comment by LKG31 October 2012
  • Last night I completed day 5, level 1. I woke up this morning not really sore at all so that's a bonus!! It definitely has gotten easier since day 1. I am not weighing myself or measuring myself until the end of each level so not sure about any losses but I feel great! I am taking Sundays off and doing the shred…
  • Count me in!! I have a goal of more than 10, but this is a great start! My mom still sends out family pic for Xmas cards that we take on Thanksgiving, so that's my motivation!! Feel free to add me!
  • I have a 25oz. Camelback bottle I refill about 5x a day. It's at my desk and doesn't leave my side at night!
  • Day 3, level 1 for me tomorrow! Everyone feel free to add, I would love to hear and see all the end results! And we all need encouragement along the way :)
  • I'm on level 1, day 2... my legs are definitely burning!!! I can't wait to continue on with it and see results!! Good luck everyone!! Feel free to add me! :smile:
  • I just got this DVD and I am SUPER excited to start it and begin my MFP journey. Besides the weights (I was told 3 or 5lbs), and I have a yoga mat, do I need any other "equipment" to complete the workouts??
  • I dip peppers, cucumbers, carrots, etc. in hummus. It's only 50cal for 2TBSP (Athenos, most flavors) and it definitely spices up the raw veggies! I also stir-fry veggies in olive oil and seasonings the night before and bring them to work to heat up.
  • I'm right there with you, love my wine!!! I try to leave a little room for a glass, or run extra hard that day so I can enjoy :)
  • I usually pack my lunch and have dinner planned before I leave for work, so I will log all of it in the morning just so I know where I am at calorie, protein, carb, etc. wise for the day. This helps me determine what I may/may not have for a snack. It also helps me stick to the plan too, not deterring from the good stuff I…
  • I usually don't leave enough time in the morning to "make" a good breakfast so here is my quick and easy recipe! (if you like eggs) Use a muffin pan, lightly coat it with cooking spray (I use 100% olive oil spray) Mix egg and/or egg whites (I usually use 2 eggs and 3 egg whites) as you would for scrambled eggs. Pour…
