Chehalis!

Bump My sister in law will be arriving tomorrow sometime, and she will only have whatever is in the truck of her car until the truck arrives with the rest of their belongings in a few weeks (still no furniture though). If anyone needs some good karma, we could very much use a little help!

My first piece of advice is to invest in a digital food scale. I know it sounds micro manage-y, but we all tend to overestimate our consumption when we eyeball it, and the best of logging intentions can be for naught if you're underestimating your portions. Find one with a tare button, and you can reset it to zero between…

Thanks!

Made it thru day 5 yesterday, but I'm laid up in bed today, sick. Going to have to take a rest day. Hopefully back at it in the morning!

Wow!!! Amazing results! I'm on day 5, can't wait to see my "after"!

Day 3 had me doing the zombie walk too.. I did day 4 today and feel mostly normal. This was the first day I could get thru all the butt kicks also! There are differing opinions about rest days with the 30ds. I'm going to try to do it straight through (just to get it done) but lots of people take every few days off, or…

Re: breastfeeding, I calculated my tdee and add 300-400 cals in cardio daily, so it adjusts my macros. Some people add it as negative calories in their snacks, but it doesn't adjust your macros that way. Also, make sure you're drinking extra water to account for working out and breastfeeding. My 10 month old is ebf, but…

L1d4! Did it with the step sons (age 4 and 6). the youngest gave up at the warmup windmills! I did one real push up and made it thru the cardio without stopping!

L1d3 in the books, though I did have to modify the modified butt kicks lol. But I did one real push up!

It's a workout dvd by jillian Michaels. 20 minute circuit training. I've seen amazing transformations after 30 days, so I'm committing myself to it!

I went to a bachelorette party a couple years ago, and I was the only heavy girl there. So of course, they wanted to do group pictures everywhere! I usually hide in the back, or better yet behind the camera (which us why I became a photographer), but I got pushed to the front in this picture. When. I left the house, I…

L1d2 done!

I did l1d1 this morning, then a lighter than usual workout at the gym. My quads are already a little sore! Looking forward to /dreading how I feel in the morning! Bring it on, jillian!

I bought a pair of designer goal jeans last week. They're a 15 but fit like a 13, which is quite a bit smaller than I am now! But I will wear them for my birthday!

you look fantastic! quitting smoking is my next hurdle...

gotta make your IMG into img. weird quirk on mfp.. and you look FANTASTIC!! Keep up the hard work!!

thank you =) and thanks for the pic help! Fixed it!

That happened to me too. I lost about 50 lbs over the summer of 2011, then found out I was pregnant in September. Gained ALLLL my weight back, plus an extra 20 lbs. My best advice, stay healthy during your pregnancy! It will make things so much easier afterwards!

Gah, I resized it, but it's not smaller! You can right click to open it if need be. My apologies!

L1d1 done! It was tough, but I survived!

I got the video today, plan on starting tomorrow! 29, mom of 2!

Wow!!! That is amazing! You look like a completely different person!

S-two-pendous! (thought we needed an equivalent to onederland ;-) )

Woohooo! That's a great milestone! Congrats!!

This is me from my last journey... Just for a pic reference!

I'm somewhere between 5'2" and 5'3", though I always say 5'3" when I'm asked ;-) I started changing my lifestyle drastically in June '11, and dropped 50 lbs in 3 months--235 to 185. Then $h*t hit the fan and I fell off the wagon (and got dragged behind it FOR MILES!) I found out I was pregnant (surprise!) and took that as…

I take a similar supplement that absorbs extra fat using a specially formulated dietary fiber, but doesn't cause loose stools or leakage lol. But I only use it after particularly greasy/high fat meals (which are few and far between these days).

Thanks! I just have to remember that it never comes off as quickly or easily as it went on, lol. :-)
