yes I have seen those shows! LOL.. this is why I stay behind closed doors when no one is around and I do it! :-)

I am in! I need something like this to get me going again! 15lbs by Christmas sounds amazing! I hate family pictures where I look like I ate the entire buffet! lol... I am so in!

If you do weight training in a circuit you are more likely to burn more calories. You do burn calories while you are lifting but it is much better when you add cardio or multiple muscles training. Example of a good circuit 3 mins cardio 2 mins strength with two muscle groups a small and a large like a squat and over the…

This week we should all avoid pop/soda for the entire week. We should all add a different work out. Like if we don't bike take a bike ride, if we don't do a work out dvd do it. Just mix it up this week. I am going to try and ride horses everyday I have not done that in over a year. :-) Good luck everyone!

Well I have had absolutely no motivation this week. I have stay active and didn't over eat but it is the lovely TOM and I am feeling drained. So this next week I need some major encouragement. I have not lost anything but that is pretty good because normally on TOM I gain a pound or two so hopefully next week will be MUCH…

You look absolutely FREAKING AMAZING!!! OMG! The transformation is wonderful! You should be so proud of yourself! Keep up the hard work. It is so worth it. You look happier and healthier! Wonderful work!!!

That would be good. We can start a new post and we can make goals for the following week. I like that idea a lot! :-)

Last Tuesday - 207.8 Today - 206.2 great job everyone!! the numbers look GREAT!

You can burn a lot of calories by doing circuit training. The way 30 day shred works is you do a 25 min workout 3mins cardio, 2 mins strength, and 1 min abs. You do the circuit over and over. The key with the strength is that you do a large muscle like your legs and a small muscle like your shoulders. an example would be a…

there is a section for dance twist or something like that just search for dance it will list a few options.

great job! You look very nice! :-)

Mine is December 18 too!!! I want to be down another 40lbs!!! We can do it!! Come on ladies!!! lets lose this weight so our wedding day is everything we can ever dream of! today is a new day! Lets start off encouraged!!!

ya so I was all about this then I have Vacation Bible School for kids at my church and I ate with them and it wasn't good foods. I am allowing myself to cut back. I am not completely depriving myself but I want to stay away from pop and candy. So I am trying. This week was good at least I lost 1.2lbs! :-) I hope everyone…

yummy!!

Today was crappy. I forgot all about the challenge lol! I was at church and they had cookies and I took a bite then my fiance reminded me! :-) AHHH! well I am kinda lost on what is fried foods and all that. I had a BLT today... My main goal is to stay away from sweets and soda! Those are my huge issue. Thanks for starting…

I understand! That is great! Does everyone have a goal weight or size they want to be when the 40 days are up? mine is to but under 200 by september 2nd

A couple of tips for curbing the sweets is jello- sugar free 60 calorie cups and sugar free gum.

I am totally in!!!! This is just what I need! I am going to add you as a friend and we need to keep at it!! I am soooo excited! I was just saying how I need something to kick me into gear! I am going to challenge you to work out every day!! You can do it! Just think how you will feel when it is all accomplished!! 40 days…

thanks for posting!

If you can add a banana or something like that in to hit that mark do it. Don't let yourself be under that 1200 calorie mark. Remember each meal should be 300 calories and you should have 300 calories for snacks for the day at least! Just be happy you are not going over! :-)

you can do it! Keep up the work and never give up. If you have a bad day brush yourself off and move forward! Everyone has bad days but you can always recover! :-) Good luck and remember everyone on here is here to help, encourage, and receive encouragement! :-)

When I used my HRM on the 30 day shred I got about 337 calories for the first level. I would stick with the 350! Don't log in to many calories its always better to guess less burned than to over shoot it! Good job though! Its an amazing workout!

We have all different types of beans in our garden we eat them fresh or have a 5-12 bean chili! :-)

It is great to know I am not alone because I feel better. It is just so sad that we have to go through so much! :-(

You should aim for a size 10 or 12. You can easily hit it! Push yourself a little! It is good to have small goals try being a size 14 by Halloween! :-) Good Luck!

Great attitude!!! Do the work and you will see the results!!! I am going to add you as a friend! We can keep each other accountable!

You didn't have a lot to lose but your body looks great! You really toned up and have a great shape going for you!! Keep it up!! :-)

everyone add me!! I love to encourage and be encouraged!! :-) Keep up the hard work everyone! You want to look back in 6 weeks and say "look at all I have done" not "I SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE!!" We all have this! Lets do it!! :-)

OMG amazing! You look so great! :-) Congrats! What else did you do besides P90x? What was your eating habits! So proud of you!!! You did great! Keep it up!!! Don't lose that amazing body!
