Thanks ladies! Really looking forward to making new friends and us moving forward with a healthier life all together!

I just joined back in as well! Trying to get my routine down for the moment. I also used to be "skinny" and gained a ton of weight :( Lack motivation until just recently! Unlike you I can't even fit my husbands clothes :( I went to wear a pair of his jeans for Halloween (ones that he wears to work on the car with holes…

Congrats! I just sent you a friend request as well, we live in the same area *Waves*

From what I have been told it is not healthy to be at anything under 1200 calories a day. This could be the reason why your not seeing a change, your body is starving and burning up any energy you do have just functioning. Try upping your calorie intake and see if that helps.

I always log my hard core cleaning, in other words scrubbing the bathroom from top to bottom while sweating the whole time, and vacuuming the whole house, as "light cleaning" I would rather take TOO little calories for those Non-Normal things than to cheat myself. :)

I have an 8 year old and a 4 year old, both are home right now since school is out for the summer! My Days are NUTS right now, but I too would like some motivation to keep on track :)

This was the motivation I needed to see today! I got my *kitten* up and went for a bike ride! Keep it up!!

How sweet of you to do! I'm never nice like that, but then again my husband pretty much keeps to himself at work except a few people. Stay strong and keep reminding yourself that one bite isn't worth the calories!

I would like to join in! I had to give up on 30 day shred for right now so this will be a good fill in :) I will get back with you on what I am doing every day :)

You can add me as well if you like :) Jenn and I are trying to do this together and need all the motivation and encouragement we can get!

Sadly I am going to have to start over in a few days or in a week :( I'm going to keep working out but I threw my hip out of alignment today and I hurt so bad! I can't get into my Chiropractor until Monday and I have a funny feeling it's going to take a few adjustments to get me back in alignment and I know he will not…

Ok ladies I need opinions on this. I missed the last two days due to being sick. I tried to workout yesterday and as soon as I started I was running for the bathroom. I am drinking plenty of water so I think it was a stomach issue. I am feeling much better today so I am ready to hit it again. Should I count today as day 4…

I told my husband mine are so sore it hurts to stand up from using the toilet! He thinks its funny, I said to him it may be only because he can stand to pee!

Level 1 day 3 DONE! I'm not going to lie, I am still having a VERY hard time making it through the work out, but I have to remind myself for the past 7 years I have been a stay at home Mom who has slowly over time become less and less active. I'm not going to be able to get up today and be right where I was 7 years ago! I…

Ok ladies, I so didn't want to do this EVERY day, I kept telling myself I was going to take "rest" days but I am finding that if I push through being sore I feel so much better when I am done and even better the next morning! just keep at it, this will all be worth it!

Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother in it is good for a LOT of things. My husband uses it for his Gout to control flare ups. I have tried to drink it like he does and I just can't. :(

I am using 2lb weights only because I have never really "lifted" weights before and don't want to over do it! I do have 5lb ones as well and hope to move up to those at some point when my arms don't feel so weak! I did day 2, I really didn't want too because I am super sore but I pushed through it. I still had to take…

Ok ladies I am super sore from yesterday but hearing everyone say it was easier this time around had got me motivated to go ahead and go with it today! I had a Dr's apt today and according to HIS scale I have lost 8 pounds! Yeah right, my scale hasn't moved a pound so I don't think that's right. His has always added around…

I decided that the 30 day shred just wasnt enough so I did 20 mins on the treadmill as well. I need to get my body losing weight as well as inches! I wanted to say as well that I will be doing this 5 days a week. I can't work out on the weekends we just have way to much going on! So it may take me a few extra days to…

Thanks this was super encouraging! My husband said the same thing, make this workout what you can for yourself. He said in the end even if I have to pause the DVD and take a few good deep breaths with some water it is better than sitting on the couch doing nothing. My plan is to keep going, maybe take a day off tomorrow…

Hope your oldest is feeling better soon! We made it all winter with no illnesses and now that its spring both of mine have horrible colds :( Good luck with your 1st day, it was rough and I did take breaks but I am proud I did the whole thing!

does anyone know where I find the 30 day shred to put in for my exercise for today?

I just did day 1 and thought I was going to die! I am so out of shape its not even funny! She kept saying not to rest for more than 5 seconds, but there was a few times I stopped to catch my breath. I had a hard time the most with all the jumping around with jumping jacks, jump rope, and butt kicks. My knees were hurting…

Julie~ I just noticed you share a birthday with my Daughter! She will be 8 this year, and my goal is to be a bit less by then ;)

Thanks! I will prob. be more willing to share photos when I have lost some weight ;) I am putting my DVD in now. I tried it before and had a hard time getting through just one session of it. I refuse to give up this time though!

Can I join in? I was thinking of starting 30DS today as well, but started to lose the motivation. Maybe this is just what I need! I will take measurements before I start. My hubby took Before photos last night but they are of me in my panties/bra not sure I want to post those after I saw how awful I really do look!

I have it as well, and while I didn't get into it at first, after playing it last night with my 3 year old I noticed how much I was sweating and still enjoying myself! I like that they have the "sweat" feature on it, and it is something my kids can do with me and I don't feel like they are in the way!

Chin up, tomorrow is a new day. Everyone does something at some point that we regret doing. I ate more at dinner tonight than I had planned. While I was eating I didn't give it much thought but as soon as I was done I was instantly mad at myself. I am just now start my weight loss journey and hope I can do as good as you…
