Great job!!

I'm down! Started today! Time to tone the tush!

I just finished day 3 of level one day and I am loving this work out! The first day I had to stop constantly to catch my breath and chug some water. Now, I can already feel by body having stronger stamina. I'm not stopping nearly as much and able to complete full circuits. I'm starting with 5lbs weights, which get killer…

I'm on day 3, level 1 and have been logging as circuit training as well. I don't have a heart rate monitor, so I figured this was close enough. I just make sure to keep an eye on my time and record it properly. When I sit to catch my breath, I make sure to factor that non-workout time in.

When she goes on about how the viewer must want to just turn the dvd off and stop seeing her face... I always yell/grunt "yes" while gasping for air! lol

I started 30DS last week, but didn't do it regularly, so I started over yesterday. I'm trying to work out in the mornings, but that got destroyed today, so I am waiting for my girls to go to bed so that I can work out tonight. I pushed myself good yesterday with the workout, then made the mistake of going to see "The…

Starting weight: 200 Neck: 14.9 Chest: 43 Waist: 36 Hip: 42 R Thigh: 27.5 L Thigh: 27.5 I am really excited to see the changes in inches from this workout!

Tell me about it, Leslieamini! My husband is in the service industry and between the hours and crap available to eat, it gets hard! Since I work from home, if I want to see my husband at all that mean I need to stay up, which usually ends up meaning I eat two dinners as well! The temptations will always be there, but it's…

My husband is actually from Indiana - small town of Veedersburg, or some such. We were just up there recently looking at houses in the South Bend area, but decided to scrap that idea.

I LOVE the rum house, but am very bad when I go! Damn good nachos and cuban... But, I did recently get the chance to try Cafe Abyssinia and I am in love! Superior Grill has a really good salad that comes with shrimp on it, get the dressing on the side tho, it's not that great. I think the salad is perfect without any…

Stress is one of the hardest things for me to have to re-learn how to deal with without smoking. I'm on my first official day one, again, lol. I think I've lost count of all the day ones, but quitting just got kinda solidified for me last night. I learned a friend of mine, who I hadn't seen in awhile, has been diagnosed…

Thanks! I'll have to try that out! :)

Thank you so much for your response! Great job quitting, I hope I can follow your pattern! My husband is actually an ex-smoker, but will occasionally light up, usually when we're out drinking. Most of my friends are also smokers, which does make it hard to go out. I just smoked my last cigarette in the pack tonight and I'm…

I'm 5'4 and currently 204. I'm hoping to get down to at least 150, but am taking my weight loss in stride. I have my goal, but know it will take hard work and a lot of motivation. I didn't break 100 lbs until I was a sophomore in high school, and was in the 160s when I got married in 2009. Feel free to add me as a friend!…

I went and got fitted for proper running shoes today, and am so excited to start working on this program! I went to a running shop locally (New Orleans) and they really helped to ensure that I got shoes that were proper for my foot and stride. The app I'm going to work with it free for Android called run double. it has…

I'm interested in this, as well. Would love to get some feedback about it!

Bump. There is some excellent info here! This will really help when I start integrating strength training into my routine.

That's great! What an awesome way to see your progress! :)

Reading and knitting are my biggest hobbies. I try to write when I can, as well.

Welcome to MFL! I've just started on my journey and am also always looking for people to help motivate me and to support. Feel free to add me! :)

I'm in New Orleans! I'd love to meet more people in the area with similar weight loss goals! :)

I've been wanting to try Cafe Abyssinia! I live near by, but my husband isn't very adventurous when it comes to food. I've also been trying to cook at home more to help the budget as well as my waist line!

You can do it! Great job losing those 8 lbs! Feel free to add me! :)

I'm looking forward to trying this out! 3/31 - 199

This sounds like a lot of fun! I'm going to try to keep up with this! :)

Bennachin's is west(?) African food, so couscous and steamed veggies, with seafood. They do have some heavier options, with sauces and lamb and all sorts of meat. I prefer the shrimp thing, can never remember the name! I highly recommend them, they are one of my favorite restaurants in the city. There's also an Ethiopian…

I feel like I gained the weight and didn't even birth the kids! I have two step-daughters, and find it hard to fit exercise into my schedule sometimes! I would love to add you as a friend! We can keep each other motivated while we work on our goals! :)

It seems like we have similar goals! I would love to be added as a friend. I could use the support and motivation, as well!

Thanks for your reply, miss_septembe! I have added you. I am looking forward to meeting new people through MFP!

Hello all! I am an avid knitter trying to get myself back in some semblance of shape. I have more yarn than I rightly know what to do with, and more projects on needles than I have time to finish! I never really know what to say when trying to introduce myself. I am 26, married with two step-daughters. I teach English…
