I suffered from an eating disorder in my early twenties. I love this site because it promotes healthy eating and exercise. That is the only way to lose weight. For the last few years I have so badly wanted to lose weight, but I was so afraid I would have to starve myself again to get to the weight I wanted to be. I have…

It is done at home. I did it and lost about 5 pounds, but I wish that I would have taken my measurements before I started. Most people that do it, say they lose inches. You don't have to give up your running. You could do it every other day. I really like Jillian's DVD'S because they are so inexpensive, yet they are so…

Do your clothes feel like they are fitting better? It is possible that you are losing inches instead of pounds. I have been there myself when I feel like I am killing myself and that stubborn scale will not move at all!! I would keep doing what you are and the scale will start moving. Also make sure to drink tons of water.…

I am not sure howit happened to you,but congratulations on the weigh loss!!

March was my first month and I lost about 5 pounds. Amy

Great job!!

You look great!! I started with 30 DS and I am now doing Six Week Six Pack. I am on level 2. I plan on doing Ripped in 30 for my next workout. I will add you as a friend. Amy

Thanks for the responses. My question is, should I skip my workout tonight to give my muscles time to heal or just keep going along? It is weird because my pants feel so loose today. I would never have guessed that I gained weight! I guess the body does weird things. Amy

I have had 4 c-sections within a little less than 7 years time. I started my weight loss journey at 174 and am down to 166. I am currently doing Jillian's Michaels Six Week Six Pack and I am happy so far with the results. It really works your core. Good luck to you and congrats on your weight loss. You are doing awesome!!…

I started with the 30 DS back in February. I loved it and i am now doing Six Week Six Pack. I just started Level 2 on Wednesday and it is HARD, but I made it through it and it seemed a little easier when I did it last night. I love Jillian's DVD'S because they are around 30-35 minutes and they get results. I am going to do…

I weigh 2-3 pounds more at night. I weighed myself the other night for the heck of it and about had a heart attack when it said 3 pounds more than the morning before. When I weighed myself the following morning it was back to normal.

You look great. I have also been doing random Jillian Michaels dvd's. They seem to be working great so far. Keep up the great work!! Amy

You look great! Way to go!

Way to go! Whenever I am feeling discouraged I just come over here and look at all these before and after pics and it makes me motivated to keep going. You look awesome.

Very inspirational, thanks for sharing. Keep up the awesome work!!

You look really good! Keep up the good work. Congrats on your engagement.

Hey there ladies! I am 5'10 and when I began this journey I was 174 pounds. I am currently 168. My goal weight is going to be between 150-155. The lowest I have weighed in my adult life was 145 about 12 years ago. I was miserable and didn't really understand how nutrition worked so I pretty much starved myself all the…

I feel the same way this week. Must be something going around!! I did not want to work out yesterday. I looked at my calendar and realized that I have lost 6 pounds in 4 1/2 weeks and that GAVE me the motivation to work out. I have 18 pounds to go and I WILL NOT STOP until I reach my goal. When you feel unmotivated, look…

I am doing the six week six pack and it is challenging, but I love it!! I am on day 5 level one.

Thanks for posting this, I am having the same issue because I eat alot of fruit. I will not worry so much about it now.

An ipod touch and some new clothes!! I haven't told my hubby yet though so hopefully he won't care. Also, I am hoping to wear a bikini to the beach.

I just started Level one of the six week six pack a few days ago and I am having mixed feelings about it. It is so fast paced and there are two of the exercises that I cannot do!! I just finished the 30 day shred and I feel like level 3 of the 30 DS was a better workout than the 6 week 6 pack. I would try to stick with it,…

Thanks to everyone for all of the awesome responses!! I actually weighed myself today and I am down 1 pound since Monday. I am so excited. Like some of you have mentioned this is a lifestyle change not a "diet". There are going to be ups and downs along the way, but thankfully I found MFP to help me through this journey.

Thanks to you both. I am back on track tomorrow. The good news is that I ate healthy the first part of the day, so it isn't like the whole day was a wash. Tomorrow's breakfast is greek yogurt with a little granola sprinkled in. I guess today was my cheat day, so I will be good the rest of the weekend.

You look awesome. I have had 4 c-sections myself, so I understand how hard it is to deal with that "tummy problem". I am also trying very hard to tone my abs. My goal is a bikini this summer. I think I am going to try Jillian Michaels 6 week abs DVD. Keep up the hard work! Even though it is hard it is so WORTH IT in the…

You look amazing!! Keep up the AWESOME WORK!!

I am not sure about the sodium issue, but is it by chance the week of your menstraul cycle? I have seen many posts on here that women say they gain a couple pounds during their cycle.

Great job keep up the good work!

Awesome job!! Keep up the good work.

You look amazing! I love your dress, it is so cute. The success stories are what keeps me going.
