I have a 20.00 starfrit scale that I have been using for about 4 years. For me as long as I can zero/tare the balance with my dishes, and measure in grams I am good. you don't need to spend 60.00 on one.

Yes but it will be an estimate of my intake. No food scales allowed and I will be over! I will at least have a general idea of how over I am.

Be honest with what you eat. If you screw up one day, work on staying under for the week. I record good and bad and my bad days eventually get less and less.

I bike, walk and don't necessarily do the 30 day shred only... I think I have 7 of her DVD's so I rotate between DVD's and levels so I don't get bored.

Here are my starting (again) measurements Aug 19 Calf 15.75" Upper Thigh 25.25" Hips 42" Mid Waist 37.5" Waist 31.5" Breast 38.75" Upper Arm 12.25" Neck 12.25" Weight 177.6 lbs Hopefully, I will be back to at least 5 times a week for Jillian. I did Jillian 5x a week from Feb until June and loved the muscles but got busy…

Sam, You look freaking amazing!

You look amazing!

I work full time, am a mother of busy teenagers, go to school part-time. Needless to say I have very little free time. I use Jillian DVD's. My favourites are 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30. I TRY to squeeze the half hour work outs in at least 4-5 times a week and then I add in bike rides or walks using my digifit app on my…

At 5'6" and 194 lbs, I was a tight size 16.

Looking good! 40 lbs is a great start!

You look pretty damn good... I would say you got more than revenge out this transformation!

Thank you for the information. I have hesitated trying level 4 because I struggled so badly with Level 3.. Duck Walks are evil and crow push ups(level 2) are almost just as evil. I have used Jillian 30DS and RI30 consistently since early January and have gone from 41% body fat to 36% and love all her DVD's. I kind of…

Awesome job!

Thank God I live in a safe place.... might have to worry about the occasional dog / coyote but never enough to have to carry a weapon.

You look amazing!

When my metabolism existed at 36, I dropped from 220 to 190 with out much exercise and eating 1500 calories a day. Today at 43, I eat 1200 calories a day, have exercised almost daily since February to Jillian and the weight is slowly coming off. I think once you get close to your ideal weight, exercise is a must.

2/3 cup of frozen fruit (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), a couple of strawberries and then top it off with some no-sugar maple syrup. I have had oatmeal every morning for probably the last 10 years...

Thank you for the inspiration. I recently got my mother to sign up to MFP. She is 64 and is just starting out. It is nice to know that it is possible....

tractor...

I was exercising and eating back my calories and not loosing... I stopped eating back all the calories and have also discovered that pop/soda makes me retain water and sodium is absolutely evil with me. If I keep under the sodium level of 1500 to 2000 mg I tend to loose. If I my sodium is high, I will gain...I have lost 6…

Not much I can say, sometimes men are just *kitten*.... It is hard to juggle stressful work and school, good luck and trust your heart. Hugs.....

I am looking for a few more friends, feel free to add me. I am 5'5" and have 30 lbs to lose.

I am looking for a few more friends as well. Feel free to add me

You look amazing!

That is an amazing change to your body.... I can only hope I get there one day!

That is an awesome start to Jillian! Love it

Blue was my first dog whom I loved dearly.... Buggy was her nickname when we were playing. When she heard Go Buggy Go, she would start running circles around me. She was a Blue Heeler and would herd my children and follow me up and down the lawn as I cut my grass. I have used Bluebuggy for as long as I have been on the…

Things that suck... as I loose weight in my thighs, it appears that I now have jello jiggler thighs...it will tone up one day too??? shopping for new clothes and when you look in the mirror, you feel like you haven't lost any weight or rather not lost near enough. watching the scale NOT move even though you are below…

Stop your squats until you heal. When you start up, watch your form and do go as deep into the squat. The lady I work with did too much too soon (squats and lunges) and had to stop until her knees recovered. Now she does them but when she starts to feel pressure, she doesn't push it any farther. When you vitamins and…
