I'm not sure I'm making progress at all....I'm actually GAINING weight! I'm determined to not be tied to the scale, so I keep plugging. Sure hope so etching is changing! I will measure on day 10.... :)

Done! I do much better after I warm up now. I'm starting to not panic during jup rope.

This is me to. I've been ong really well for two months, and now I have stalled. I am eating very cleanly, tried upping my calories a bit...didn't help. So added more exercise...currently STUCK. At least we are not gaining! I'm hoping that scale will move again soon!

I weigh everyday. My weight will fluctuate by .25-.5 and go up a little before it goes down. My chart is DEFINITELY not a straight line!

I'm doing 30 ds and i I also run a little. I am not in great shape, so it helps stretch me back out.

1. JUMP ROPE! That first set of cardio is always the killer. I don't know why but I find it painstaking to get through that jump rope. (perhaps I'm just to heavy for jumping!) 2. push ups -- I can do the modified ones fine, but the regular ones I can not get through. 3. bicycle crunches.

Agreed. I don't "dread" it as much as I did in the beginning, and I'm finding that I know L1 well enough that I can "see the end of the tunnel". Now, when we get to L2.....

I weigh myself everyday. It's been part of my daily routine forever, so I didn't change that. Even though I have had good success over the past 65 days, the four days on 30ds are not particularly better (in fact, I'm at a small plateau right now...) I will measure myself on day 10. I am curious! I thought perhaps once at…

L1D4 -- check. And collapse. :-)

:tongue: First of all, just be warned-- people get really heated on this subject for some reason. There are many, many posts on it! In my case, 1200 is absolutely appropriate. I have had my fat % and my BMR checked and my daily calorie intake for NOT LOSING weight is about 1570. So, if I want to lose a reasonable amount…

haven't noticed the hungry thing-- but I have been needing TONS of water!

:laugh: D3L1 -- tonight my daughters joined me. We all used soup cans instead of weights. I can finally make it through all of the easy L1. The jumping jacks still make me groan, and I'm doing modified push ups-- but I'm making it through. Maybe round two I'll be able to pick it up a notch! Also (LOL) we play it on my xbox…

Are you and you SO doing any per marriage classes? ( like through the city or church?) It might be a way to get out together and focus on something positive and happy. :) My DH and I took one and enjoyed the time together so much, we ok another. We've been married12 years now...so it's been a while!

I don't always log all my water, zero calorie drinks, and zero calorie condiments (hot sauce) I'm still new, so probably still a little excessive! I do log supplements, but not medicine. I like to see now my total nutrition looks.

I'm a little sensitive to carbs, mainly they make me retain water-- no matter how much water I drink. So I'm learning to cut back. I find little switches help. I love sandwiches, but now I have them on lettuce instead of bread. I use coconut or other lower carb milk in my oats I switched to lower carb fruits all carbs are…

Had to stay up late-- but got it in before midnight. :-) Better today, but still torture. :-P

I think I'm the shortest! Here goes... Height: 5'0" (60 inches) Weight : 140.8 Waist 34 Hips 39 Under bust 32 Chest 38 Thigh 20.5 Calve 14 Neck 13 Upper arm 14 Lower arm 9 Here are my measurements from a few weeks ago-- I'll update and I'll try to take some photos tomorrow.

If you have Xbox, you can download it by parts from amazon. Also a lot of it is on YouTube.

Don't have anyhandweights yet, so I used soup cans. Kicked my tail.

^^THIS^^ I am a 47 year old, 5'0" woman. Thanks to posts like your OP, I have people frequently send me notes asking why I am eating "too few calories" when I eat even around 1200. I am not a lifter. I am not a long distance runner. 5 pounds on my size frame is a dress size. And YES, for me between 1100-1200 calories is…

Sw: 154 CW:141 Goal weight (for March): 135 (6 pounds)

In 2 months I have lost 12 pounds, which is 2 pant sizes for me. (From a 12 to an 8). I am very short ( only 5'0")... But also much older. Good luck with your journey!

Nay. Honestly, just learn to like veggies. Raw spinach is actually pretty wonderful in salads ( or sautéed in a little Pam with an egg in the morning). No linger to cook....tons less calories, all the fiber. Why liquefy it?

The best! That's where it really counts.

Since I had my (now 10) daughter, I haven't been able to button my wool coat. I was always THAT fat person, holding the fronts together. Many times my sweet husband has asked me, "would you like a new coat" No! I wanted the one I have to fit. It's in poor shape, but it was a pride thing here. Yesterday it was cold, and the…

Really fantastic success! Amazing photos!

Goal is 125 for now. Enough to get my into healthy bmi. Started at 154 on January 1, currently at 140.

Second for striiv, I like the competition.

Resisted chocolate, even though I'm a teacher! AND..... For the first time today someone who didn't know I was dieting told me I looked like I lost weight. :)

Second on the avocados. They also provide healthy fats that your body needs on a low fat diet.
