Bump! :) now to dig up some old pics! :tongue:

Bump. Training for my first half coming in September.

Bump. Sounds interesting

How about "nother?" As in "a whole nother one" drives me crazy. It is ANOTHER not "a nother." It would be "a whole OTHER one." They even say it in movies and tv shows. Just sounds ignorant.

Great idea!

Can't. Stop. Reading. Thoroughly enjoying this thread and boosting my own self esteem!

Wow! Congratulations! You have done wonderfully so far! Keep up the great attitude and hard work and you will most certainly meet your goal!

I start every morning with Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and run 30 minutes on a treadmill (until the weather warms up!) 3-4 afternoons a week. Almost finished with 30DS (only 6 days left!) and then plan to move onto Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. The 30 minute morning workout is perfect for my routine as I need to get…

I'm in. I have between 15-17 pounds until my goal. Would love to be within a few pounds of my goal (or better yet, AT my goal!) in 12 weeks. I'm super motivated and love exercising but a little help along the way is always appreciated. Keeps me accountable!

I wake up before my almost 3 year old daughter and do exercise videos (30DS). On weekends when I sleep in a little, I involve my daughter by giving her pencils for weights and we exercise together. I figure we are teaching her healthy habits so it is good for her to be a part of my exercise. If she doesn't want to be…

I lost about 20-25 pounds several years ago by running but plateaued and got lazy. Then I had my daughter and didn't lose all of my baby weight. My father was recently diagnosed with mild Type II Diabetes and purchased a treadmill so he could reverse his diabetes and never need to be on insulin. I figured if he could do…

My daughter is Brielle Claire. Definitely a girl name but she won't be in a class with anyone with the same name (HOPEFULLY!) if she were a boy, she would have been either Quinn or Levi.

Thanks for all the great information!

I was obsessed with scale numbers last time I set out to lose weight. This time I am taking measurements and calculating body fat percentage with my weight. Trying to only weigh in and measure once a week! Last weigh in I gained a pound but according to bf% I lost two pounds of fat and went down a full percentage because…

^^ this! 30 day shred is excellent for beginning. It also about 27 minutes for the first set (look on YouTube) so it isn't daunting to begin with too long of a workout.

Bump! I'll be coming to this if I experience a stall!
