My heaviest was 273. I am currently at 250 and want to eventually get to 160-165. I wish you the very best of luck!!

this is a cool idea!!

The books are the Song of Fire and Ice. Also AMAZING!

I LOVE that series. I couldn't put the first one down and read it in 3 days!

Have you ever read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon? It is 7 books so far with another one coming out next fall and there is a spin off series of 4 books. AMAZING!

Welcome! I too am trying to loose weight the right way and keep it off. You are more than welcome to add me so we can be there for each other!

You look amazing and SHOULD be proud of yourself! You are and inspiration.

welcome!! You are not alone!! I final goal will be 111 pounds lost, but I have a long way to go. When I am dedicated to this site and all that it offers, the pounds do come off. It is work, but it feels so go to see the scale coming down. :) Wishing you the VERY BEST LUCK!!

the weight i had put on is starting to come back off this week. I lost 1.5 pounds, but still up 0.5 from my starting point on this challenge. I am trying though. :/ SW (23/09/11) 242 Week 1 (30/09/11) 242 Week 2 (07/10/11) 243 Week 3 (14/10/11) 244 Week 4 (21/10/11) 242.5 Week 5 (28/10/11) Week 6 (04/11/11) Week 7…

i have missed a whole week due to no other reason except bad choices. :( Today i am starting fresh and new and will be starting my 30DS over. Way to go all of you who have stuck with it!! You really should be VERY PROUD of yourselves!

What is my problem!! I have been super UNMOTIVATED and it really shows this week. I have gained another pound! TODAY i begin again!

i am ashamed to admit that i have not done mine all week long and as a result gained another pound. Today is a new day and i WILL be doing L2D3 tonight!

my arms did get a little sore in the front of the armpit as well, but not near as bad as my legs.

yeah, level one affects the legs and but the most!

Yeah. Thats all i can do as well. and it is just the right hip. that is the hip that hurts sometimes ever since i had my son 7 years ago, so I think it is just out of alinement from the pregancy.

I know! That move is hard! And i still can't do the jump rope in the last cardio, so I do more high knees there. Currently, I only own 3 pound weights, so I have been using those. I noticed the same thing about the soreness. I have not been sore, but sweating more than i think i have in my whole life! It is getting easier…

Not sure what happened, but I gained a pound this week. I am really hoping it is just water weight!

I couldn't believe the amount of planks in L2!! It makes me even more scared for L3.

L2 D2 done. Doing D3 tonight. I missed a day the night before last b/c I have been battling some sinus crap this week and was just COMPLETELY worn out. I did do my exercises last night though. I am excieted for weigh in tomorrow to see if there is ANY change this week. I know my body is changing cause my pants are falling…

has your measurements changed? I have not had any change on the scales, but have lost inches since I started 11 days ago. Wishing you the very best luck!!

Thanks Madiann!! I am really excited to see how the next 19 days go!

I took my measurements tonight and here they are: After completing Day 10 Level 1 I am down 1/2 inch on my neck, 1inch on my waist, 1.5 inches on my full waist (the riundest part of my stomach), and 1.5 on my hips. That is a total loss of 4.5 inches in ten days!! I don't even care what the scales say with results like…

I will be tonight before i excerise or eat dinner. I was going to this morning, but I overslept and just didn't have time :/ . I am REALLY excited to see what the changes are b/c my wedding rings are sliding off my fingers and I was able to buy a sports bra over the weekend. My band size has been too large to fit into one…

I am on Day 11 and will be starting level 2 tonight and am kind of nrevous about it!!

I have completed 7 days on level 1. It did skip a day last week b/c I was sssoooo sore, but I got right back on it. I try REALLY hard to get through the cario parts, but jump rope and jumping jacks are NOT meant for people with big busts! It HURTS! Got to get a better sports bra. :) But I have pushed through and even…

I didn't have any change on the scales this week, but it is my TOM, so I didn't really expect anything. I did however have a NSV this week. I was able to take the extender off my bra for the first time in 6 years, so I KNOW there has been changes! SW (23/09/11) 242 Week 1 (30/09/11) 242 Week 2 (07/10/11) Week 3 (14/10/11)…

I have the same problems as I don't have a heart rate monitor yet. I look up general arobics or circuit training depending on what the workout is and use that. It won't be exact, but it should be pretty close! Good luck to you!

Welcome! And wishing you the very best of luck!

My NSV is that my wedding rings are starting to spin on my fingers! It is weird to have them loose. :)
