Thank you all very much for the advise. I had a full work up last year and there weren't any issues with my thyroid at that time. I could have them recheck to be sure though. I will keep looking for a solution and your suggestions will help. Luckily it's not every single night and seems to come in spurts of 3-4 nights at a…

I'd love to join the new challenge! I've been using the SL 5x5 program for a few weeks now and would love to have some fellow lifters motivate me!

You look wonderful! Love the swimsuit too! Can I ask where you bought it? Have fun on your vacation!

Hello! I'm 5'8" and CW is 160. Would love to lose 10 lbs by June. Ultimately I'd like to lose 15 by July but it's going to be tough I think. Feel free to add me.

I'm in! Looking to lose 10 lbs as well! Feel free to send me a friend request.

I am just finishing week 2 and have not see the scale budge. However, I have measured and the inches are coming off. Clothes feel better too. It's really tough to push play everyday but it is helping that my clothes look better on me. Just keep pushing play and count calories. Best Wishes!

Great info!

Yay! I have some great friends now! Thanks ladies!

Awesome ladies! Thanks!

Week 1 Weekly Goal: 3500 Monday: 30 min ab class and one hour BodyCombat (kickboxing class) - 918 cal Tues: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 918 Left to go: 2572

Thanks for adding me ladies!

You may find that you are too worn out to do the kickbox (BodyCombat) class and weights on the same day. I found myself either not putting enough into weight lifting so that I would have energy for the class or putting all I had into weight lifting and being really tired throughout the class. So just watch for signs of…

I take a 30 min core class that includes planks, side planks, leg lifts, crunches and a ton of other standing exercises. It is really helping my entire core from back, stomach, thighs and rear end. We use a little bit of weight and a band but the majority of it uses body weight. I try to take the class (Les Mills CXWorks)…

These all look great! Thanks!

I'm 5'8" and my stats are SW - 164 CW-155 First goal is 145 Second goal is 140 Ultimate goal is 135 but I am ok if I stay anywhere between here and 140. I am going to really focus on body fat once I reach 145.

I get them too if I haven't eaten enough.

I am 5'8 as well and have lost about 10 pounds (with only 20 too loose) and no one has noticed. I can feel a difference in clothes but don't see it in the mirror. I also don't see it in pictures either. Maybe there will be a difference for me at 20 lbs but it's very discouraging in the mean time. Hang in there! Eventually…

No pics but a sweaty mess and a super red face.

Ahhh! The story of my life! I have lost 10 lbs (only have 20 to lose) and my stomach hasn't changed any. I remember when I was younger I weighed 130 and still had a stomach. I've always been a "skinny fat" because of my stomach. I've started lifting weight and am hoping this will be the key but we shall see. My clothes…

Another apple shape here! I have lost weight and inches in arms, legs and thighs. My whole body is definitely toning but I haven't lost a single inch or even half an inch in my stomach! It is so frustrating but will keep pushing forward. Just started strength training a week ago and hoping that this helps. The oddest thing…

Tastes great! Great for breakfast (I like to add oatmeal and a banana to it) as it is low in calories, has some vitamins and a nice amount of protein. Not very different from the other protein shakes out there but it is expensive. I don't recommend it as a meal replacement if you don't put any real substance into it. It…

I started eating my calories according to my BMR and gained too. I hope it changes this week! :frown:

Help please!

I am having this same issue. My calories are much higher than yours and I work out pretty hard for at least an hour a day. With that said, I really need to figure out how to get a good breakfast in before my workout as I am finding that I don't have energy at all after the work out even after I have eaten a decent lunch.…

I take this twice a day and have been for over a month now. I do not take it for weight loss nor do I think it has it helped in that area. It has however been wonderful for relieving my allergies issues! I was on daily allergy meds PLUS a nasal spray before. I have been completely off of them since starting and have not…

Thanks for posting this! I have dropped in lbs recently but no change in measurement around the waist. There has been some improvement in other areas though so something is better than nothing. Interesting how my clothes feel better and it looks better but still measuring the exact same. Strange!

That is great! Being on any kind of meds is a downer no matter the age but definitely no fun at 24! Keep up the good work and let that continue to motivate you!

Kylesmommy is that all you are doing? Are you watching calories too? Your before looks like at bit like me and I have been thinking about starting 30 day shred. Is that the one you did? Everyday? You look great!

You look great! I too would like to know what exercising you do!
