Congrats! Those pics are so amazing. It really shows how on task and motivated you have stayed! Good job!

That was interesting.. thanks! I have been my goal weight and know how I felt and looked but if I feel and look like that at a weight before that or not til after that.. then I'll change my goal weight =)

Feel free to add me as well.. I love the motivation and the social aspect of this site.. always a good motivator! :wink:

Hello ladies, I am a 41 year old mother of two and elementary school teacher. I have found mfp very helpful in keeping my calories in check and lifting weights consistently. Every summer I tend to put my weight - lifting to the side for mountain biking and running.. MFP has helped me to stay consistent and not let running…

Finished 30dshred Yesterday.. have loved this challenge and am now on my 6th week of p90x as well.. Yes I did them both together for part of 30dshred but I couldn't help myself. I've lost 7lb, 1.5 inches off my waist and haven't smoked in 49 days!! =) Reallly grateful that I found this website and this challenge as well.…

Level 3 day 3 tomorrow!! woo hoo. I started p90x 3 weeks ago so I've been fitting 30ds in when I'm not too exhausted or I would be done with it by now!! I'm glad I didn't wait tho. I kinda like doing the both of them =)

Oh my goodness yes!! My appetite for carbs and sugar is horrid sometimes.. especially at night! I went over my calories this week for the first time in a month because I was pms'n =( It's strange tho.. once I start I'm back to normal!!

I finally start level 3 today!! Yay! So excited for a change! Can't wait to take measurements again in 10 days! I know I've lost more inches! Good work ladies! So glad I joined this group. It's really help keep me inspired and motivated to complete this, even on the days when I feel bored with it!

I am a teaching so I totally understand what you mean when you say it's difficult to stay motivated and energized.. it's weird tho.. at the times in my life that I've spend a couple of hours a day working out are the times that I have the most energy.. I always try to remember one of the laws of physics.. Objects at rest…

awesome job! I just started it yesterday and am doing the lean routine first. =) Then plan to do the muscle building version.. Can't wait to post my 30 days!!

Thank you so much for sharing.. very inspirational and motivating! I love all the pics. I'm going to take some more cause I like the pose you did in the bathing suit =)

At L2D4 today.. Love level 2 because I haven't had much experience with planks! :happy: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I have plantar facitis too!! =( I have had it for a whole year already and am going to the doctor next Tuesday!! I hope it's not bone spurs!! So I feel your pain sister... It's a constant pain in my foot lol.. sorry, I couldn't resist!

Yay!! today is my last day of level 1! I =) I feel so much stronger and can't wait to start level 2. :smooched:

I"m still doing the modified push-ups and probably will for a while!! It really is easier each day tho and I am able to push myself with the more difficult things like the buttkicks and bicep curls because I'm not really sore any more. =) I'm really surprised that I'm not sore tho!! Keep it going ladies!

I'm 5'4 and 144lb =( I wish I had a heart rate monitor!!! I've just been estimating using the average and putting 200.. I don't want to put over just in case..I'd rather be under! I'll have to invest in a hrm soon!

Level 1 Day 5 complete!! Only 25 more to go =)

I have yet to try pilates.. I'll have to try the dvd I have today!! Thanks!

I was already doing a 7 day challenge on my own before joining myfitnesspal and starting 30 day shred!! I am working out a total for 2 hours daily.. Either hiking, mountain biking, my own circuit training, and 30 day shred.. I do spread it out during the day tho!! I've been working out for 20 years so I'm not one of those…

The push ups are the most difficult for me too!! Ouchy.. Today was my 4th day and I was much stronger on everything too.. Good job =)

Day three was difficult after working 9 hours but I did it and didn't go easy on my self!! The push-ups were dreadful and my biceps are soooo sore this morning! Going to do day 4 early today since I don't have to work just to get it out of the way! Good job girls =)

Hi, I am using 6.5 lb weights but not sure what Jillian and her ladies are using. I think you should just use what is comfortable for you =)

=) I know! Having everyone on here for support is so motivating! Who woulda thunk?

Congrats ladies! I just started yesterday as well.. and tho I'm a workout junkie I am sore as well!! I just love JIllian.. she knows how to do that circuit training to burn that fat!! =) Today is for sure going to be more difficult doing the push-ups.. I didn't even do full push-ups either! I did them from the knee! My…

I have had a work-out journal all year and really keeps me accountable for keeping up with an active life!! Who wants to see "day off" on more than 2 days in a row? I love looking back at how many hours I've worked out this year, miles hiked, miles I've ridden my bike etc!! It also helps me to see how much I grow when I'm…

Starting today... Weight: 146.8 Waist: 33.5 Here we go! Today is the beginning of the end of belly fat =):wink:

Thanks! just printed it! I love Jillian's quotes!! So inspiring! =):happy:

Hi, My name is Tiffany. I'm a elementary school teacher in Michigan with a very active life style! I love challenges like this and think it will help me lose the bit of fat I've gained these past few months! Between bike riding, kayaking, hiking, and weight lifting not even sure how I gained any fat..(ice cream is the only…
