BUMP!!! These sound awesome!!!!

That was very nice. I LOVE your positive outlook, it's very refreshing AND it's going to help you so much in achieving your goals. Seeing before and afters are what have kept me going too! Best of luck to you!

Thank you! :)

I found another one teeheehee!!! Yay!!!

Thank you sooo much!!!

Just an update......This is a picture from the second wedding. I haven't seen any from the first. But in both, I felt great! Thank you all for reading my NSV and for the support!

Thank you! :)

Thank you! I'm so sorry for your loss

Most DEFINITELY :happy:

Oh you bet I did! I know that lady could tell how upset I was and she said, "Don't worry honey, we'll fix you up. We'll have you putting those other bridesmaids to shame" lol! Of course, that isn't my goal.....oh wait....maybe it is a little :tongue:

Thank you! I have had this goal of 5 more lbs for a few weeks now and just can't get it to budge. Jillian Michael's workouts is how I lost the initial 15....I love her workouts! I think it's going to take a few weeks of EXTREMELY strict eating and some kick butt working out to get the scale moving again. Hopefully I just…

Well I'm not 5'11 but I am 6'4....don't know if you still want to see since I'm so far over but here's the link to my before and after post :smile: I'd still like to lose about 5 more pounds http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/247123-15lbs-down-w-embarrassing-underwear-shots-eek

Thank y'all so much! Boy some of you really know how to make a girl blush lol! And for those of you that have paid compliments to my son, thank you soooo much...he is my #1 reason for wanting to be healthy and in good shape! Everyone on mfp has been so helpful and y'all have certainly boosted my confidence with your…

I totally meant to say a pound of fat is larger than a pound of muscle lol!

Just water retention so that your muscles can repair themselves....it'll go away. And a pound of muscle and pound of fat both weigh a pound, but a pound of fat is larger (occupies more space) than a pound of fat.

Thank you Rafor. I've been maintaining for about 6 weeks now, I was trying to lose a little more in that time period but was unsuccessful. My weight loss was also very slow to begin with because I didn't have much to lose. But maybe this long stall was a perfect break for my body. :smile:

Thank you all for the feedback! @ evesacks- I definitely need to get more fruit in as well. I'm cutting back on dairy because I think I may be drinking too many of my calories. Ever since I was pregnant with my son, I crave milk. So much that some days I'll drink 3-4 glasses! For some reason, even a year later.....I still…

I was trying to drink less soda and have been doing well so far, but I splurge once in a while, but don't really enjoy it as much as I used to....Guess that means I should just give it up for good!!!!! I'M IN!!!!

Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Awesome job! You should be proud, and I know your wife is!!! :blushing:

Hello, I did the 30 Day Shred, as well as several other Jillian dvds and LOVE them! I started the shred as soon as my doctor cleared me to workout after having my son and I got amazing results. Here's the link to my success story pics if your interested…

that was very beautifully stated.

I applaud you for doing the 30DS with your wife!!!! I bet she is so pleased to have the company. I've tried to get my husband to join me (I have several Jillian dvds including the shred) and his excuse is he's too out of shape. What he really means is it's a "chick workout" (because I can read his mind like a book haha!!!)…

Oh I definitely save. Matter of fact, I'm doing it right now. My son's 1st birthday is Sunday and dang it, I'm gonna eat what I want lol! So all week I'm just lowering my calories by about 150 and on Sunday, I'm CHEATING and I'm not even going to worry about logging it. I've found that an occasional "cheat day" actually…

I used to workout in a gym when I was a teenager and I was in great shape (but at that time, I had never been out of shape). After having my son I started doing home dvd workouts and am now wearing my old high school jeans. So, I know home dvds work! I'm sure both work great if you put in the right amount of hard work but…

You look awesome! Great job!

I sat down and had another talk with my husband on Friday. I pretty much put it all out there for him. I explained how worried I am that he has let his health start to deteriorate. I told him how much I loved him and how much him taking care of himself meant to me and our 1 year old son. I am happy to report that the hubby…

I usually gain a whopping 7 lbs!!!! It's just water weight and it will go away. I never log my weight during my TOM. Matter of fact, I don't even get on the scale lol!

The beauty of P90X is that most of the moves are easily modified. It is a difficult progam....I'm in great shape and some days even I have to hit pause (Mostly on Plyometric day, that dvd is a BEAST). My point is, and even Tony will tell you multiple times throughout the workout, if you need to hit pause...do it. He gives…

You'll be doing plank jacks like a pro in no time if you push through it! I finished her new dvd Ripped in 30 recently...on one of the levels she does two solid minutes of cardio in the plank position. That dvd is a beast. I moved on to it after finishing the shred (which was really hard for me when I started). Good Luck!!!
