  • Make a choice EACH day what you are going to do TODAY to achieve your goal. That helped me SO much when I was at the top end of weight - the changes I needed to make were SO HUGE and seemingly unattainable, but once I broke it down to daily choices about what I would eat and how I would move my body, it was much more in my…
  • BAHAHAHA winner of most awesome and honest answer ever!!
  • I finished 30DS at the end of January -and my results were AMAZING!! We have very similar stats. I'm also 5'8" I started at 193, and when I started 30DS Jan 1, I was 173, by the end I was 168 I lost 2" on my waist and many more inches in all the other places - AND my pics were the most exciting!! There are places you don't…
  • Wow - amazing story! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! I'm sure your 4 year old will grow up to be so proud of you!
  • That's a good idea! Thank you!
  • Mom of 4 here..weighing in! I agree with the OP - too many moms are either going into pregnancy overweight or are packing it all on during pregancy. My first two babies I didn't even think about weight - it added up and I just figured somehow someway it would come off. After my second baby was born, I joined weight…
  • BAHAHAHA - this is one of the reasons this is the "greatest thread ever!!"
  • I have 4 kids right now. My son is 5, daughter 3.5, daughter 2 and daughter 10 months (all roughly 18 months apart) We wanted it that way, and that's the way it happened. We said "it will be a little crazy during the young years" what we didn't realize is HOW crazy it would be!! As for having another one - we're both on…
  • WOWOWOWOWOW!!! Triplets! Good for you being back at it already!! Go easy, shake it off when you miss a workout etc.... are they all sleeping through the night? Are you breastfeeding? Those two things are huge considerations when getting started again. Just again, WOW!
  • We got our finances in control through a course by Dave Ramsey called "Financial Peace University" you can google it. He is Christian, but his message isn't saturated with the Christian message, rather some good principals and how to live it out. Anyway, we were in a desperate situation with money until we took his course,…
  • I love everything this person said. I just want to add - I applaud you for making it happen, I'm especially surprised that you don't feel hungry - that's my biggest problem with "junk" food - sure I can have 1 slice of pizza for supper and stay within my calories, but I'm still starving!! lol anyway, make the slow changes…
  • Thank you for all the replies... just to be sure, 2 pounds/week is considered a healthy weight loss correct? Does road map suggest that it's too much/week? Thank you
  • Thank you for all the replies... just to be sure, 2 pounds/week is considered a healthy weight loss correct? Does road map suggest that it's too much/week? Thank you
  • You umm..win.. lol I'm from Ontario - nice to meet you!
  • Nice advice everyone! Thank you!!
  • Did you lose 15 pounds in a month or two months? You said you're 4 days from finishing - and then said your starting round 2 in a week....EXCELLENT results!! I'm excited to see how this works out for me!! I did the fit test yesterday, and the official day 1 today, and it's a KILLER - I can see how there will be some…
  • I'm assuming your dress will be strapless or sleeveless, so this doesn't answer you actual question - but make sure you train using weights so even if you don't lose all the weight you want your arms and upper back/chest will look sexy - that could make a huge difference in how you view yourself that day!!
  • I just did the fit test today too!! Is there a group started? Or should we start one?
  • You NEED NEED NEED to get yourself some oil of oregano - it's pricy, BUT you don't need much and one bottle normally lasts my family of 5 almost all winter, so don't let the price scare you. It is SOOOO worth it - you have to get it in you right now though before the cold really takes hold that's when it's most effective…
  • I'm starting this Monday too!! I was supposed to start tomorrow but I'm borrowing it from my sister, and the soonest I can get to see her to pick it up is Monday, so I'm starting Monday night. I'll add you as a friend and we can cheer each other on!!!
  • It is SO hard to be where you are right now. I am a stay at home mom with a 5 yr, 3.5 yr, 2 yr, and 9mth old, and my husband works long hours in real estate, so I totally get how you're feeling. 1) You need to get your marriage back on track. Make that your NUMBER ONE goal!! You need your husband's support, love,…
  • Just keep going strong! I see you've already lost a lot of weight. If you carry most of it in the mid section, that will be the last to come off - but it will come off!! You wont keep losing in your butt and thighs and still have a gut - at some point the belly will begin shrinking! Just remember that from today until that…
  • Delicious!! I actually made it two days in a row because it was so tasty and yummy!!
  • I only have 5 pounds weights, and a few times I wished I had smaller, and other times I wished I had more - other times it's just perfect. For example, my shoulders are SOOO weak so 5 pounds is almost impossible for shoulder raises etc...BUT towards the end of level 1, I was finally able to do more than half the exercise…
  • In the "Food" tab, you'll see a subtab called "Recipes" Click that and off to the right you'll see "Enter New Recipe" Give it a name and enter each ingredient. Say how many servings it makes and you can then add it to your diary! I LOVE this feature as it allows me to stay really precise even when I make some family…
  • It's in the crockpot as we speak!! Looks delicious so far! I doubled it to feed my family, but I'll check back in to let you know how it turned out! I have it on high as it's close to 2:30 and I'd like to for sure have it ready by 5:30/6:00 - I was alittle surprized by the amount of time you said it would be ready in...…
  • But I read her profile, and we believe in the same God, so that's why I spoke to her about our shared faith. Was absolutely not trying to push anything on you :)
  • I think you're supposed to do each level for 10 days then "graduate" to level 2!! You're doing it RIGHT!!! :) I'm on level 3 and there is NO WAY I could have done level 3 exercises 20 days ago!! Here are some tips: Keep going on level 1 for AT LEAST 10 days - if you feel like doing it longer - go for it - make personal…
  • Hey! You're a believer! So am I, and I'm currently working through the book, "Made to Crave" by Lysa Terkeurst...try and get your hands on a copy. You were made to crave...GOD and him in your life. I'm finding (cause sweets are a difficult point for me to) if I can redirect my attention to how BIG God is and the BEAUTY he…
