Wow!!!! Great job!!! You look absolutely beautiful... this is really inspiring!

Excellent information! Thank you so much for the knowledge and insight!

Thank you! This is probably the most concise and clear description I have read so far and it's starting to click. I think something like that would work great when I'm not working and not on my regular schedule... maybe I'll try it when I'm on leave and see how it goes. It may work out better as I anticipate all the social…

Ok!! :-) Thank you... I feel like this is clearing things up for me and I'm excited to continue and see what happens. Going on vacation in 5 days so I'm worried about my workout plan, but will continue counting calories and try to hit the gym with my fiance. Vacations are always tough, but I am tired of having to spend the…

Thank you so much! You have done excellent and hope to be able to have the same results in a couple months! I set my macros and calories today using the Eat More to Lose recommendations but have had a hard time finding people who were just starting their weight loss journey and success stories. Most I have seen are women…

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out! Being fit and firm is more important to me than the number on the scale so that helps... I did the TDEE - 20% today and that would make my daily calorie goal about 1700 calories/day (when I set the activity level to moderate)

Thank you Stacey! That does help and I think eating 1600-1700 calories a day sounds more sustainable than fasting 1 or 2 days a week (I imagine sitting at my desk and not snacking would be hell) but maybe it will work if I'm on R&R and able to sleep in. I appreciate the feedback and I'll continue tracking. Just want to…

Bump? (I don't know how to get replies on here!?)

Hi everyone! I know this is me and I have done the starvation then the binge thing and my weight has skyrocketed. Can someone please tell me or start an Eat More to Weigh Less board for beginners? Most of the comments on here use a whole bunch of acronyms that I have no idea what they mean... I work in the military so I…

Hi! How is the Bob Harper DVD going? I did week 1 of JM Ripped in 30, but want to alternate with something more strength training... i just previewed it and it looks sooooo hard. When I liked my body the best I was doing body sculpting (1 hour) classes at a gym about 3 times a week, but since I don't have those classes…

I'm 5'5", same as you and 177 right now, trying to get down to the 130-140 range. This is also almost the biggest I have been and didn't realize it until I saw a really unflattering picture of me. I'd like to add all of you if you don't mind? I especially like the inspirational stories as sometimes it seems like it's not…

The Black Keys- Have seen them 3 times since 2005 (before Starbucks sold their albums) and they melt faces, such a great show. Kings of Leon- Have seen them twice since 2003. Portugal. The Man.- Amazing indie band from my hometown, saw them in Amsterdam and need to see them again.

Me to!!! I hope someone replies because I have this same question. it seems like no matter what I go over in carbs and sugar. I didn't realize just how much sugar every single food seems to have.

You look so amazing! It is truly inspiring to see the progress! Our starting and goal weights, as well as heighth, is almost exactly the same so I will be adding you! I haven't even considered the calorie thing yet, hoping to just actually stick to my 1200 at first and see how it goes.

Wow! You look so beautiful! Both before and after... I think you look great where you are at right now. What was your workout/diet plan and how long did it take you? Keep up the great work! i love before/after photos!

I did Day 1 of Week 2 tonight... and OMG!!! I must have said "what the f???" 10 times. this one is going to be tricky. pendulum lunges, those push-up knee raise things... I really should have watched this first. Hopefully I get the hang of it so I can burn more calories instead of staring dumbfounded at the tv screen :-)

Kuyabiye... did you do multiple videos during your 30 days or just cardio and RI30?

Thanks for the advice! Yes this is my first video. I've always had better results in a class setting (like spinning or body sculpting with an actual instructor) as opposed to lifting on my own. Just not sure if the videos burned enough calories or used enough weight exercises to truly make a different but Kuyabiye looks…

I can totally see a huge difference!!! You look so amazing! This is totally inspiring. Thank you for sharing your photos with us!

Ok! Thank you so much! I'll try that. You are all so inspiring! It seems like everyone is doing this video plus a few more though... is that a must to see results?

i'm only halfway into week 1 and worried about seeing results.. I'll have to go through the board and try to read all the feedback... it sounds great though... i just don't feel as sore as I think I should I guess?? I used to do those sculpting classes at the gym and always felt like that was a lot harder. this is actually…

this is awesome! I was just looking for more information and maybe before and after photos. I am halfway through week 1 and I don't know if i'm working out enough to actually see a difference??? 230 calories a session I read somewhere...? I have so much trouble with the side lung/arm raises and the bicep curl/lunges... I'm…

29 years old, 5'5" SW: 178, GW: 130 Or just a size 6 jeans, toned and still curvy!! Seems SO far away :-(

Hi! I don't have a loss yet but looking for inspiration and tips as well as what to look forward to. The task ahead of me is daunting... I know I have to be patient, but one month in and the scale doesn't move is disheartening :-( I'm 29yo, 5'5" and have been gaining and losing the same 40 pounds for 10 years... getting…
