I did my fit test on the 14th and the plyrometric cardio circuit today - I have never been this "worked out" ever! It seems to be an amazing workout, and it's great to know some people that started at the same time!

Hi! I'm Deirdre, I'm 22 years old, a graduate student, and I have hypothyroidism. I gained all my hypo weight when I was 8-18, and these past four/five years have just been trying to lose it since my hypo dosage was evened out. It's hard but the success you feel when you are working for it is such a reward. I have about 35…

Hi everyone! I love this idea, I'll come back to add you tonight! Age: 23 Height: 5'3 HW: 215-225 CW&SW: 170 GW: 135

I love this idea! I'm @dreejay. I'm getting a new phone in two weeks and I'll be able to be a real Instafreak. ;)

I subscribe to the Be Fit channel on YouTube. Tons and tons of videos are on there. They won't do the whole series of something, like they will only give you level one of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, to entice you to buy it, but something's better than nothing!

It is lovely to meet all of you. I am also working to shed this excess weight for the last time. It's incredibly tough and not a struggle that most people live with. I'm sending friend requests to you all in the hopes that we can motivate each other to reach our goals!

Hi everyone! I am so excited about this challenge. It's lovely to meet you all! My name is Dree. I'm 22 years old and I'm currently a Masters candidate. I also work part-time at a health and beauty shop, so I seem to be always talking about hairspray and mascara. I am Irish-American, having spent half of my life in the USA…

YGG! I can't work out first thing in the morning. I know I should get it over with for the day, but I never can. I tend to do it just after dinner, and then I feel like I can relax guilt-free for the evening. I found the butt kicks to be super tough on my knees (I was an Irish dancer for years, and my knees/ankles had to…

Thanks for answering! The MFP calorie goal is so handy, I'm just starting to regularly track on it now so hopefully that'll keep me accountable. Your weight loss is amazing, congratulations again!

Congratulations! This is so inspiring; you look incredible. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take you to reach your goal, and how did you do it? Your before is my current position, same height and all, so I'd love to know! Thank you.

I just love your story. Congratulations on all of your hard work! I love how you said that you did some really awesome things while being the other you. That is incredible! Love the tattoo, too.

Is it too late to join? I've been putting off starting properly - oh, the pain! - but having a group will surely keep me accountable! I'm excited, though, because I love the feeling of committing to a workout.

I am so excited for this challenge! Thanks so much for posting!

I cook for myself and I'm also trying to save money {recession and all that jazz}. Dinners are my big problem! I used to stick with Weight Watchers meals as they were the cheapest deal that I could find. I'd do a side salad with balsamic vinegar too. I've since moved on to a Southern spiced chicken breast - they come in a…

This is a tough one. I'd definitely appreciate my family or close friends telling me that I'm off-track, especially because when I don't weigh myself I convince myself that I am doing fine, and all of a sudden I'm ten pounds up and it's impossible to shift. My family and close friends would never do that, of course, which…

You are a rockstar! What an incredible birthday gift to give yourself. You are an inspiration!

I desperately need encouragement - I'm properly starting my new fitness regime today. I've sent you an invite! :)

Good luck with Jillian! I tried the 30DS a few times before (I didn't realise that you're supposed to go up to Level 2 after 10 days, it just shows how much effort I put in..) but I'm ready to go for it properly now. Thanks for the Ripped in 30 advice - I will plan on doing that, too. It's time to get friendly with Jillian!
