I think for some people the process is a long one. Yes their food might be crappy and unhealthy but they are at least entering it in. Sometimes when you try to be nice and helpful, people get defensive and it makes the situation worse. I believe that you can say something when they start saying that they have hit a plateau…

Great post!!! This is why I usually only eat half of the calories I enter on here.. if not less. I always felt it was high and you just confirmed it =)

Awesome job with sticking to MFP. I have been there and sometimes feel like giving up, BUT I realize my MFP friends are very spportive, understanding and know exactly where I am coming from. Don't get me wrong my family and friends are supportive but they are all fit and do not know what it is like to be over weight. Hang…

Last week 198 lbs. This week 203 lbs =( I have decided to cut back on my wheat intake and increase my water. This past weekend I made 40 servings of butternut/acorn squash soup loaded with veggies, I made protein pancakes that are in the freezer for days I'm running late. I know it has wheat, but I figured it would be…

I'm in hopefully I will be able to do the jumping jacks. I find them really hard to do cause while I jump I can feel every inch of fat jiggle, then I get discouraged and pissed off. LOL I guess that will be my way to measure if I'm losing inches. Hopefully by the 26th there will be little jiggle left in the jump HAHA..…

My mini goal for December is to hit the 180's, my end goal for this challenge is to be in the 140's if I can get lower that's a bonus. Ultimate final goal is 130-135 by my birthday in May. Other goals for myself are to only eat meals made from home, If I go out to be very strict and take the healthier choice. To workout 5x…

Just got back from the farm which has no internet or crappy internet. My starting weight for this challenge was 198lbs, this morning I weighed in at 195lbs.. Hope to get to 140-145ish by April unrealistically I would really love 135lbs lol.

Group is so much better than trying to find our thread on the forums... thanks for the invite. Weight loss for me is slow, the scale hates me so I have just taken my measurements and will do it again Dec 1. My pants are falling off so I think I'm losing something. Scale says I've lost .5lbs.. not much but it's at least…

The scale seems to go up for me as well, to the point that I joke around saying I will be 198lbs and a size 2. I have decided to go with measurements and hope that the scale will follow ( or I adjust it manually to reflect lol)> Today I was only able to get in a 20min walk, tomorrow will be better. =)

I've had 2.5 L of water today and went swimming for the first time in years it was awesome. I now have a friend calling me in the morning so I can get weights done in the morning and cardio in at night. I'm hoping to do 30DS in the mornings, my trainers program in the afternoon 4x a week and then cardio at night 5x a week.…

My birthday is in May and I would love to be at my goal weight by then. =) Unless it is too late to join? Is there something we have to do daily? or just lose weight? SW(today): 198lbs GW:135-140ish

mushroom caps but only cause I'm craving them right now lol. I agree with a lot of the other peeps, use them for anything you'd normally use cheese with.. haha

I used to get headaches during or after I went running. I talked to my naturopath and she said even though I'm drinking lots of water it's the electrolytes that are off. When we run/sweat we lose a lot of our electrolytes and water doesn't replenish that, it usually flushes more out. Since I have added electrolyte powder…

I'm 5'1 and I would love to be 135-140lbs at the end of it all (or 20% body fat). I am currently 198lbs but HW was 270. I have been having such a hard time losing atm =( Plateau for a few months now can't seem to get below 194, then fluctuate between 194 and 198lbs. My short term goal is to get out of this plateau and hope…

I am lagging behind atm. I am still doing 30 ds but I have missed a couple of days due to conflicting work schedule and the sudden interest my boyfriend has to go swimming. I usually go to the gym while he swims, but anyways. I am L1 D8,9 and 10 Completed. I hope to have 11, 12 done tomorrow and hopefully 13,14 done on…

Edmonton here!!

L1D7 done I had to take a break yesterday I burnt my hand and in the crease between thumb and index finger so it was too hard to do it and I think I needed the one day off other than cardio. Today I did it but without weights. Keep up the good work everyone =)

L1 DAY 5 and 6 done. Looking forward to day 7 tomorrow. I really need to clean up my eating and add some cardio I feel like 30DS is not enough and yet I'm sore as heck lol.. guess I just really want to lose weight and break this plateau asap lol.

L1D4 done today and my bf was watching. He's thinking of joining me =)

I feel your pain. I have been trying to avoid the scale as well and then when I think I must have a loss due to the clothes fitting better it says I'm either the same or worse have gained. WTH lol.. If you find a solution please pass it on. But You are not alone =)

L1D3 finished and I am pretty sore today after training on top of shred yesterday. Looking forward to the remainding 27days lol

L1D2 done but I am not entering into MFP cause with the cardio and personal training session that I have done today on top of 30DS I still have over 700 cals to consume I don't want to add to that lol. Great job everyone!!

Try doing it against a wall... You still do the action but it doesn't have as much impact on the joints as a push up from the ground. Or you could use weights and just do the motion with your arms while standing.

Wow I forgot how intense the workouts are. My goal is to do this 30days straight along with training with a trainer and I hope to get at least a half hour of cardio for at least 5 days of the week. Food wise I am going to try and stay under 1500mg of sodium and eat as clean as possible. Starting weight 195 hope to get…

I hope everyone is doing well.. I know the challenge is over and I just want to apologize for dropping off the face of the Earth. I have been struggling with this process more than I would have thought. I feel ready, and commited and then I get the fear of my past and yes I know that the past is in the past but I seem to…

If it is just the jumping jacks that bother your knees just do something different. The key is to keep moving, don't listen to her when she says everyone can do them. I find them hard to do usually I do a jumping jack with her but I don't just just move legs side to side and flap my arms as if I am a bird learning how to…

I am 5'1 and I am currently considered morbidly obese according to the BMI I disagree. Before meeting my personal trainer I thought that my weight should be 120-130ish, however my trainer disagrees and says according to my body composition I will look like I'm that weight but realistically I shouldn't go below 140lbs. This…

I would like to join this group as well. I have struggled in the last few months and I think this should get me back on track. Are you just planning on doing 30DS or will you be adding cardio as well? Are we taking measurements? and weight?

Thank you

I was out of town if it's not too late. I am at 184.3 lbs for this week thanks!!
