  • One obvious suggestion would be 30 Day Shred. There is cardio but literally only 6 minutes of it in the entire workout (usually around 28 minutes w/ warm up and cool down). And it's got levels so if you feel comfortable you can up the intensity. They also show you the modified versions of a lot of the moves to provide less…
  • It may be that you're body just isn't ready for something that's mostly cardio? I think it really depends on your level of fitness/endurance. I'm on my last days of 30 Day Shred (I did 10 of level 1, 10 of level 2 and am finishing up level 3 soon) and right now I'm watching BFBM on YouTube and I don't think I'd be able to…
  • As the person above said, Fitbits are basically fancy pedometers. I wouldn't rely on their reported calorie burns at all. You'd really want a heart rate monitor for that. And honestly, the straps are nothing at all. Its just a band that goes around your chest and you can wear the watch at all times since it is actually a…
  • Hmm. I've never even heard of this one. I'd be interested to hear anyone's stories / see their pics as well. I'm doing 30 Day Shred now and love it. I may have to look into this one too as an option for once I finish. How long are the workouts?
  • I'll second this! It's what I'm doing now as well. I'm on Level 3 Day 3... Only 7 days to go! And I was VERY out of shape when I started. I too struggle with the whole "what to do" mentality because the second you type "exercise" into Google you're bombarded with 10 million people telling you what to do. I'd spent so much…
  • I have a Fitbit Flex and like the poster above me, I love it. So far no problems with charging and I do believe that it is very accurate with steps (I wear mine on my non dominant hand). I'm not a huge fan of the sleep tracking though. I find that the "sensitive" setting is TOO sensitive and the normal setting is not…
  • Classmate in 4th Grade: "Ew, get out of the way fatty I cant get through" That is the first time someone ever called me fat and to this day (I'm now 28) I still remember exactly where I was, exactly who said it and exactly how it made me feel. My mother (referencing my ex boyfriend): "If you don't start losing weight and…
  • Ooh, I'd love to do this! Slytherin house if it's not full. If it is, second choice would be Ravenclaw!
  • Most of the time my face is the only place I can really tell a difference... So every time I get discouraged I pull out these two photos. 280-ish vs 225
  • I started at 280 and am approaching 210 and sometimes I still don't really see a difference. I can TELL there's a difference based on my clothing and what sizes I'm wearing, but visually i barely notice a difference (but I'm sure that's just my extremely skewed body image talking at least a little)
  • Thank you guys ♥
  • Thanks for all the comments guys! I do really feel great. It's like I'm a whole other person now. I used to have zero self-esteem and was pretty much depressed all the time. I'm still struggling with depression, but as I said when I posted that bottom picture on my DailyBooth... I feel like I'm starting to have things to…
  • I'll admit that it's still a struggle at times and I'm nowhere near back to being okay with everything that happened. But at least now I'm confident that I can keep my head up.

  • I love you Caity! ^_^ Yay for PA girls! ^_^ See, that's what I was like too. If even the slightest thing would go wrong in my life, I would get super upset and fly off the handle. And then I'd just eat a ****load of stuff and get really discouraged / give up. But then all that stuff happened (the fiancé thing happened…
