It's crazy how different the same weight can look on people. I'm at 164lbs now, down from about 185lbs in Jan - my weight got outta control, non stop takeaways etc., the nightmare of living with a food guzzling boy! I can't say I'm unhappy with my weight now, my legs, arms, and face have gone down substantially and my…

Tbh, I would not be happy with my boyfriend going on a lad's holiday but luckily he hates clubbing and doesn't drink spirits so always says a chilled relaxing hol with me or his rents would come first anytime! I have and will be going on girl's/friend's holidays though. I have a thing called willpower, when a guy comes on…

Amazzzing - this is what I'm working towards! Congrats! Can you tell us how often/what you did to workout? Also, what was your diet like? How many cals per day, most common foods etc. Thnx and way to go!!!

JM is great but I switch up her workout videos with one of my all time favourites; Ministry of Sound Pump it Up (2009 edition). It has so many different parts that you can make your own work out. It really gets you working hard I am soaked by the end of the vid! I choose to do the 'Warm it up', 'Tone it Up', 'Aeroburn 1',…

6 inches is massive! Congrats :) Have you done anything in particular to try and target your belly fat? My waist has always been a sticking point for me, even when I was 17 and a size 8 I had a 27.5 inch waist :(. Currently 30 inches.

Level 1 Day 3 was definitely hard to push through - I took a couple of days break when I needed to (would run for 20 mins on my off days) just because I found myself getting so bored of day 1. It felt so good though, by day 8 I managed to complete Level 1 without breaking much of a sweat. Just shows how your body adjusts…

Omg everyone here seems to be riDONKulous! I didn't start off very big to begin with (UK size 14 - I don't use scales due to a past disorder), almost 3 weeks into dedicated diet and exercise and I'm thinking one more week before I have to swap my size 14 trousers for a 12 (Woohoo!). I do 30DS followed by 10 mins at 4.0 -…

Unbelievable! Well done, you guys look fantastic!!!!

Congrats! You're right, this app teaches you so much about portions - especially when it comes to alcohol.

Wow AMAZING congrats! Can I ask what you did to lose it so quickly?

On day 2 today - you can start whenever you like just follow the days :)

I only have around 2 pieces of fruit a day - the rest are veggies. Is this moderate enough? Thnx for your advice.

Thanks everyone- great stuff. So glad I don't have to be scared of eating fruit just because of the sugar! I am trying to keep my carbs low-medium and my protein high (mainly from egg, fish, chicken and mixed beans).

Sounds small but I was so glad that I didn't buy crisps to go with my sandwich today at work. The longer you stick at it, the stronger your will power gets... Good luck everyone! MFP is honestly such an amazing, supportive place. I check in every evening just to see what you're all up to and your great progress! It isn't…

Day 1 done! The push ups kill me! lol

Can I ask if you did it every day for each month or did you take days of during the week? I'm planning on doing ten days each level but taking 2-3 days off a week :)

Wow, you look SO good! And most importantly, happy :)

This. I might post a pic of my body in my bikini but wouldn't want anyone from work knowing it was me...awkward much.

I was literally AMAZED at myself today. I'm on day 4 - I've been doing it every other day and just pure cardio on the other days. It was like I was doing a completely different video! Don't get me wrong, I'm still modifying the push ups and those anterior lunges or whatever KILL my arms! But my god it is so much easier…

Thanks for everyone's feedback. So the weight I lose is partially dependent on the contrast between the lifestyle I am (have been for the past 2 weeks) embarking on and what I used to eat? I used to eat complete crap, we're talking at least two takeaways a week (curry or pizza), no breakfast, and eating out another twice…

Well the only real reason is that I'd like to reach the top of that healthy weight loss range. I would like to lose around 16-20 pounds in 8 weeks time.

Does it matter why I want 2 pounds per week? Everyone always says a healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. Well I want 2! Lol. If it's healthy I don't see the problem, so the question is what net calories will get me there...

Thank you I'll definitely look it up :)

I don't really see doing squats as a big exercise, 100 only takes me about 5 minutes.

Thanks for all your advice! Are there any specific strength dvds that you'd recommend? The gym is miles from me so that isn't an option :(

My butt is huuuuuuuuuuuuurting today! I did do 30DS yesterday too though lol. Putting off today's until 9pm lol, my butt needs to rest!

Hey :) Yes it's interval training - I always hated running because I never appreciated the effect of a good sports bra! So now I'm kitted out I've been running/jumping a lot more and thought C25K would be perfect for building my endurance over time, I have the Get Running (C25K) app on my phone which I'll be following - it…

Hi! Yes shift is a Brit term for lose :)

Thanks for your input. I wasn't looking for sarcasm or judgement here, I was looking for examples of tangible experiences. I said I was THINKING about doing it not that I definitely will. A girl at work has done this recently and she actually loved it, she also couldn't bring herself to finish the juices most of the time…

I'm in - April 1 so day 1, 50 squats here I come! Pairing this with 30DS and C25K!
