I know it can seem very overwhelming at first. I also hate exercising, but I FORCE myself to do it everyday. Walking is good if you don't think you could stand anything more intense. Even if its parking farther out from stores in parking lots, or just around your house. Do you like to dance? Just playing some music and…

This is just one of those touchy topics.I tried reading up on all ideas of what the "ideal" diet was before starting my LIFESTYLE change: I read somewhere where it pretty much stated that a person needs to choose a diet that they are willing to stick with for the rest of their life; this made perfect sense to me. For me,…

I was/am doing planks, but was also doing crunches.

I did the self test, and can fit two fingers. From what I have read, the splints is for more of a 3-4 finger gap? Is this splint something you can order online without needing a prescription? My doctor did tell me that only surgery will correct the seperation completely. I did have about a 4 finger gap about a year…

Very true! My goal is just a guess. Everones bodies are so differently shaped and hold weight differently.

Thanks for the links guys! Really gives me some hope.

I'm 5'3 and 120 lbs. My goal is around 110, but may be happy at 115. I've been running since last year, and that helped me to lose 10 lbs, but gained a few back over the holidays. I need to get rid if fat around my belly, back, and upper thighs. I just started 30 Day Shred yesterday, and hoping this helps slim my waist…

At your height, it should be pretty noticable I would think. I'm 5'3, and just losing 5 lbs is noticable on me. I think once you get in a normal weight range for your height, weight lose becomes more appearant at 5-10 lbs.

I'm starting it tomorrow! Good luck....let me know how you like it. I've heard lots of good things about it. I did her Ripped in 30 last fall and it really helped to tone.

Yay! Sounds good to me :)

You know, I got to 116 this past summer and was pretty happy. I have a small frame (little bones) so lbs really seem to show on me. my major problem areas at the moment are my upper thighs and lower back...and of course my abs that have destroyed seperated muscles from three csections, uhggggg. I wish I knew some strength…

I think you're off to a great start! Your calorie intake looks good and low. Are you also exercising?

Hi :). My goals are similar. It's great your taking the initiative, and I wish you all the best!
