This is an old post... but I made a new one with follow up pictures! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/532902-goal-met-and-i-ve-been-maintaining-for-months

Thanks for the nice comments! I did it by sticking to a 1200 calorie diet (most days...I definitely allowed myself several "cheat" days). I basically just make sure to burn more calories than I take in. I don't do much weight lifting. My exercise has been all cardio. I go for walks or jogs and love to take classes at the…

For the life of me I can't get my pictures to be the same size. I am sorry that some are huge and some are small. Hopefully you can still see the results!

im a huge fan of walking with the kids. And I also loved Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Check out my blog for pics! http://skinnyplace.blogspot.com/

Thanks!! :)

I am excited to that some of you have blogs! Im looking for followers... just go to my blog and become one! And I will follow you back! I love reading others blogs :)

Since I have had so many people asking about what I did to lose the weight.. I decided to start a blog. Check it out! http://skinnyplace.blogspot.com/ I'll post daily with weight loss tips, yummy healthy recipes, and much more! I just started it but I will be adding more content each day. I'm also looking for people that I…

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.. I really do appreciate it! To answer a few questions.... It took me about 5 months total once I really committed to logging all of my food and working out on a regular basis. To be honest I started really small. I would go to the gym and try to run on the treadmill.... at first…

Are some of the pictures too big? I dont know if its just my computer but some of them are cut off ?

Thats funny... that was my exact start weight and goal weight when I first started!! Good luck.. I know you can do it!

I just want to say thanks to everyone for such nice comments! MFP rocks! :)

I try and do cardio about 4-5 times a week. I really enjoy taking my son for walks so I would get him in the stroller and walk about 5 miles... I like walking. Its not hard form me, but if I take long enough walks I really see results. It also seems like I see results when I try not to snack after dinner... which is really…

I gained my weight when I was pregnant with my first baby... I thought the weight would come off on its own but I quickly learned that it didn't. Eating for me was by far the biggest factor.Other 5'8 gals... whats your goal?

I am 5'8. It took me about 5 months... I have tried to stay around 1200 calories/day and I have just been doing cardio up to this point... running, walking, or going for bike rides. Now I want to find some good work outs that can help me tone. Good luck... I know you can do it!

My pictures were in a collage type thing and they are not completely showing... oh well I think you get the point! :)

At the gym :)

I can't believe it... I didnt do the workout yesterday. Im thinking of just doing it 2ce today and calling it even! :) Everyone is doing so great!!

Finished day 6! My husband did it with me... I can't believe how much easier its getting. My endurance is MUCH better than when I started!

I haven't had a chance to do day 6 yet but I am going to...even if I have to do it late tonight! Is everyone doing it on Sunday's too or are you taking a rest tomorrow? I can't decide. I normally dont exercise on Sundays... what do you all think?

Finished day 5!! Feeling really good and I can feel my body getting stronger! I decided to just see if I have lost inches yet... and I have! Its very motivating!

Bring it on day 4!!!!

Finished day 3 as well! I really feel better and stronger!! Knowing I can get on this thread and reading all of your comments makes it so fun and motivating for me. So excited to have day 3 done! YAY!

I think its a great idea to post weekly weigh ins! I took my before measurements yesterday and took before pictures...I hope I see some improvement! Its crazy how much having this board motivates me... each day I look forward to hearing how everyone is doing with it! Thanks!!

Just finished day 2!! I decided to get it done this morning so I won't have to worry about it for the rest of the day. I feel good! Thanks for the encouragement everyone!!!

I just finished my level one workout for today...I made it through! For me the first circuit is the hardest.... I had to do the push ups on my knees. I am really glad that everyone is doing this with me, it really pushes me because I know you are all doing it too! 1 day down...29 to go! :)

The more the merrier! I think we have a great group of people here and we can all help motivate each other! I definitely want to take before and after pics! Also, I have never taken measurements before but I want to this time. For anyone who has done this before... how do you go about deciding when to change to level 2?…

You should! This will be my second try doing it... but Im sticking to it!! Im not sure how many calories each workout burns...but I have been wondering the same thing

The 30 Day Shred is a work out DVD from Jillian Michaels. (She is the female trainer from the Bigest Loser) It is a really good workout and it only takes 20 minutes a day! And I bought the DVD for $14.99 at Sports Authority. All you need is the DVD, and some hand weights. Its great you guys should do it!
