amazing weight loss - you look a lot younger and you look smaller than 190's. Well done.

I never considered giving up my diet cokes but after reading this I think I will. I have at least 1litre of diet coker per day and get moody without it. I also have sweeteners in my coffee so I think i'll try give those up too. It should save money too - so long as I don't find another addiction to take its place!

amazing weight loss for 5 months, It is fast but you have done this with exercise and cutting portion size so how could this be anything but the only way to do it. You've obviously lost fat and gained muscle. Well done you're an inspiration to the rest of us.

well done with sticking to the gym, I've been unable to do any running this week. Its snowed and due to bad planning by the council no grit was laid down and its like sheet ice all over! I have done between 1-2 hours of walking a day in snow/ice to and from work as the trams and buses were stopped. I've stuck to the 30 day…

I've not done this one, but would be interested in what you think of it, I've read that you burn lots of calories doing kettlebell workouts. The only way to tell how many calories burned is to wear a heart rate monitor. I've tested my HRM whilst doing 30DS against circuit training general and it was pretty close. Are you…

what exactly is the p90x and is it something that you have to do everyday? I've heard lots of talk about on mfp but not sure its available in the uk. Do you need lots of equipment for this too, I live in a small house with limited space for exercise.

I bought one and used it alot at first but then i got bored as it takes ages between the exercises. I bought EA active which is fab and is definately worth the money - they have a new one that includes HRM now which i've heard is good. After a year of not using the wii fit board I sold it and bought the family trainer…

amazing - you look like a different girl. well done

I'm 5'7" and currently 151.2 and aiming for 135, any less and I feel too skinny. I hope that everyone does well over the christmas period with all the parties and meals. sarah

Welcome to possibly the best weight loss site on the net. You can do it and you will. It might take a long time but you've done the hardest thing - getting started. Feel free to add me as a friend. sarah

WTG - you look great

congratulations - you look amazing.

i'm 5'7" and currently 151, I was happiest (pre-pregnancy) between 135 and 140lbs. I'm going to stop before my boobs start shrinking! I like being curvy and I think my body is meant to be that way. The lower end of the healthy scale seems scarily small to me so I'm going to stick with what looks good for me and means i'm…

great photos, you look so much happier. good luck with the final few lbs

Not so massive weight loss, .8lb! Still its going the right way.

@tonya, like you I find it annoying that you can't ff the dvd to the circuits. I start the next exercise before it starts too, i've also noticed natalie looking bored of the exercise or slacking off when camera not on her, i've just finished my first full 30days but am going to continue but will do diff sessions each time…

I love it - I think Jillian is a little annoying at times but like a sgt major she makes you work out!! good luck with it.

This is a great idea to post your own goals, hope that i've not missed anyone's goals - trying to do this on a laptop without a mouse! TaraMaria - Cut out refined sugar, Run/Walk the distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Run for 30 Minutes Straight or Three Miles, Ab Routine 3x's Weekly Amy (asjerven)- running/cardio 3 days…

@lindalee - what is this target place that i've heard talked about on MFP? We don't have it in the UK! On amazon the only dvd of Jillians that is not on sale is NMTZ. I think Jillian is great, if a little annoying but I have to say that I've never got up early every morning (even after a night on the beer) for 30 days to…

well done on your results - i just finished my 30 day shred this morning too, my results are similar to yours. I've only done measurements so far as I don't weigh in until fridays. stats: weight - few lbs max- update in am waist - 32.5in to 29.5in hips - 41.5in to 40in can see definate improvement in mid section, love…

this sounds like a good group, i'm 5'7" and currently 152lbs and want to be between 135 and 140lbs. I'm a mad keen runner and love to do at least one race a month - in the good weather - and really want to tone up all over especially the dreaded tummy area. after gaining 70+ lbs in my first pregnancy, losing 55lbs before…

If you stick to it for the full 30 days then you get some really good results. It tones you up all over, I've lost my back hugging love handles and my saddle bags have nearly gone. Its only #6 ish on amazon and as its only 22mins for the workout its great to do. well worth it. i'm doing my last day tomorrow and will…

Snoopy vs The Red Baron - Christmas Bells Check it out on youtube - brings back loads of childhood memories - christmas and snoopy at the same time - priceless

Fairytale of New York - Pogues and Kirsty MacColl

I get up at 6 and start the 30 day shred before my two girls get up, they usually come and watch me finish the last 10 minutes and try to join in. Because its only short, its great for a morning workout. It kick starts me in the morning and gives me loads of energy before work. I'm on day 30 in the morning but will be…

I'm about to do my last day of the 30 days shred and I love it. Its a good workout and as it only lasts 22 mins includin warm up and cool down its great. she is motivating and the way she does the 3-2-1 strength cardio and abs you don't have time to get bored and its always changing, you do 10 days of 3 levels. I've lost…

you look amazing, nice to see a really good transformation. well done

I live in the UK and i'm sure that the sizes are getting smaller! Or is it just that i'm getting fatter? I remember at one point that a size10 was the smallest that you could buy and now the smallest in UK shops is size4 (is that the US size 0?) Size4 looks like its made for young children! My desirable size is a UK10-12…

I know what you mean, the foods are different and then they've just had thanksgiving!!! which is just an early xmas to me. I log on and the time listed on the page is always middle of the night to me. I find it strange that if i log on before 7am MFP thinks i'm still on the previous day! I'd be happy to add you as a friend…

I always get up and exercise first thing without eating, I do the 30ds and then go for a 3 mile run. I eat with my two girls before setting off to school. If i'm doing a run longer than 3 miles then I eat about an hour before I exercise. Try doing both and see which works best for you. If you start to feel feint then i'd…
