I'll join!!! I'm right at 5 ft and need to lose 25-30 lbs. I'm at 145 right now and would like to get between 110 and 120. I got down to 129 a few months ago but the weight crept back up = ( It seems to be a never ending battle and when you're so short, 15lbs makes a big difference in your appearance!!! I hope I can find…

Hey!!! I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 6...I have had it now for 15 years. I don't know that I really feel that I have ever had much luck in losing weight. I am losing it now but I have always been a yoyo dieter...hopefully breaking that this time = ) I always get irritated with low BS's But honestly they seem to…

Bump = ) Sounds delicious!!

Hey! I actually just ran my first 1/2 marathon about a month ago! So although I do not feel that I am a veteran, I may be able to answer a few questions = ) First off, most races offer breakfast before the race. At mine there were things like bagels and fruit. I would definitely eat that morning!! Something with carbs! I…

It doesn't really matter where exactly you take the measurements as long as you take them from the same spot each time. I don't personally take measurement...although I may start...but that is what I have heard and it makes very much sense to me! Hope that helps = )

Thanks for the article!! I am a type 1 diabetic and several months ago, after much dieting and losing nothing, I asked my endocrinologist if he could recommend anything to help me lose weight. I brought up the whole 1200 calorie thing and he told me that everyone is different. You have to continue to decrease your daily…

WW worked for me and helped me lose 20 lbs in just a few months. I kind of fell off the wagon when they switched to the new points plus program. I didn't lose any weight once they switched. They do not give you the option of still following the old plan either. I know the new plan works for many people, it just didn't for…

I am in the exact same situation as you!! I have been so strick for just about 2 weeks and tonight has been a major binge night!!! I hate it!!! I do not understand myself!!!!! I want to lose weight soooo bad but it is so easy for me to lose motivation!!!

Thanks!! That makes me want to stick it out! lol I would love to hear your measurements though!! = )

Well this is also my second go around...I started it before and got to level 2 for a few days and then gave it up lol I think I can push through it if I really think it will help though

Weigh-in time!!! I only lost a pound this week, which I do not really understand since I did everything right = ( Oh well maybe more next week! 08/25/10: lost 1.8 pounds..............28.2 to go 09/01/10: lost 1 pounds.................27.2 to go

I wear a heart monitor so I know exactly how many I burn...for me it is between 250 and 275 calories for level one. I also made my own work out and just labeled it 30 Day Shred...Hope this helps!

I clean my parents house for them every other week...since it is a good sized house and usually takes me a few to several hours to clean it and I only clean it every two weeks ,I do log that time as an extra workout. Now when it comes to my own house, I do not because it is just part of my regular daily life. Even when I…

Good morning everyone!!! I weighed this morning and was down 1.8 pounds which should be right on track to lose 30 by Christmas :happy: 08/25/10: lost 1.8 pounds..............28.2 to go

I started the 30DS today...I dread the pain and soreness tomorrow :wink: but at least I know that that short of a work out really is doing something!! Hope everyone is having good luck!! So are we weighing in tomorrow or start weigh ins next week?? It doesn't matter to me just wondering so I know whether or not to weigh…

It is the 30 day shred by jillian michaels. There a 3 levels that you can spend about 10 days per level on. The work outs are hardcore but are only about 25-30 mins long. It says you can lose up to 20lbs in 30 days. The DVD's are very inexpensive too = )

I'm in!!! I need a group like this to keep me going!! I plan on starting the 30DS either tonight or tomorrow! I have started it before but stopped in my second week...loss of motivation! But I really want to stick with it this time! My goal is to lose 30-40 lbs and I would love to lose most of that by Christmas!!! P.S. I…

Try wearing a heart rate monitor if possible. It will tell you how many calories you body personally burns with your exercising. The tracker on MFP, along with the machines and other websites, are only estimates.

bump...I want to find this again lol

Thanks everyone!! I will go with the heart rate monitor for today but tomorrow I will make sure it is accurately reading my pulse! Thanks again!!

Feel free to add me :happy:

I have a hard time getting up early enough to work out in the mornings too. If I can make myself get up and make it part of my daily schedule it gets easier and easier. I prefer early morning because then when I get home after work in the evenings I know I don't have to work in my workout time. I also feel better about…

Love that salad too!!!!

I wish I was allergic to chocolate!! It would make this losing weight thing a whole lot easier :wink:

I will join!! I downloaded the videos last week from iTunes and have yet to start! I need some motivation lol and being in a group with other people will help me I think :smile: I will work in level 1 day one tonight! I haven't even watched any of it yet...since I downloaded and I do not have any real information on it…

Hey!! So I feel like I am a little late for this challenge but I would love to join anyways! I have failed miserably at this weight loss thing lately and I need some support and motivation!! I had lost a few pounds but am now back at my starting weight :cry: I'm telling myself that if I can start on a weekend then surely I…
