You're right...there's no way I'd be able to do the injections. I honestly feel like it would take away any sense of being proud of myself because its like taking a short cut after I've come this far. My frustration is just so high with this! I know I need to be patient, its just got me kinda down. Blah! Dang negitive…

I work full time and have 2 little ones under 3 so I haven't been to the gym since I've started on here. I've done stuff at home...zumba, leslie sansone walk at home dvds, jillian michaels workouts on youtube. I would say the jillian michaels workouts work best because most of them are 30-20mins and VERY effective.

@ swbabe33--thank you so much! you're very sweet and you did make me feel a bit better :D I'm trying so hard to not lose these last pounds with some kind of assistance (like hcg injections or something). I really want to do this all on my own like I have been doing...is it normal for me to be thinking of doing things like…

haha this is great...love it! congrats on the awesome loss! :)

BUMP! I have this same problem most nights of the week. Sometimes what works for me is hot tea with some cinnamon and honey in it, taking a melatonin so that im nice and sleepy and too tired to eat or sometimes taking a nice, relaxing bath before bed. Other than those, I often have to yell at myself that I have a goal to…

...

I get what your point is and it's crazy, you're right! I am also 5.7-5.8 and before I started using MFP, for yeaaars I had a folder in my pictures of celebrities for motivation. I finally deleted that folder about 3 months ago because its just ridiculous to think that I will ever look like those people....and after looking…

Bump for later.....I need to read this one! Thanks for posting it and I hope you get the guidance amf support you're looking for!

amazing progress!! thank you so much for sharing. you've done a tremendous job and you should be SO proud of yourself!! AWESOME JOB!

awesome progress, girl! keep it up:)

oh my goodness, you have all done so well!!! I can't wait to be one of you guys :p thanks to this thread, I don't have to wonder if it's even possible for me to look good.....you all have shown me that I can. THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING!!

oh no! I'm afraid I came across with the wrong message....I don't hate the shape of my body by any means, I just think it would be a big help on my journey (for motivation and things of that sort) to see success/progress pics of ladies who have the same body shape as I do. Sometimes I feel like I will NEVER reach my goal…

None? :-/

you just keep on keepin on, girl:) You're doing great!

awesome progress!!! I've never done insanity, but from what I have heard it will definitely get you to where you want to be quicker. Keep it up, girl!!

Haha bring it, indeed! Lol

I started with the second dvd from the exhilarate set (I don't remember what its called lol) but if you can't get any of the dvds, I say YouTube all the way! I have a whole YouTube playlist of zumba warm-ups, easy routines, routines that are packed with much more energy, cool downs....its great! Let me know if you want me…

Really??? I hope I do, too lol. What about your results, though? Did level 3 bring anything extra/more that you noticed?

that's awesome!!! I know that had to make you feel on top of the world.....as it should :) nice work!

Nothing??? Really? Is tae bo too old to be asking about? Lol

In a situation like that I would be becoming best friends with youtube! lol. There are some really good Jillian Michaels workouts that I do on youtube. I also do a whole lot of Zumba using youtube. I can send you my youtube playlist with a bunch of Zumba workouts on it if you want:) Other things I can think of are running…

Oh my goodness, you guys...I'm about to start Day 2 and I'm scared I will fall haha. My legs are like freakin jello! and my armpits....ouuuch lol. All I can say is thank the Lord above us that I did not try to do this when I very first started MFP lol. Since I have started, I work out 6 days a week doing Zumba,…

mmmmm....BUMP

That's awesome progress!! Good job! :D

Oh, no no, I would never eat right before a workout...I get that side stitch crap lol. I was mostly meaning like what breakfast/snack do you eat however long before the workout. I know with a workout like this, I need some energy boosting foods for sure! And 5lbs!? haha, that's funny. I don't have weights right now :( so I…

Thank you all so much! I did it....I made it through day 1 of the 30 day shred. I didn't do as well as I had hoped (had to skip out on about 5 modified push-ups altogether and had to modify those side squat thingys), but that's ok! Thanks to you guys, I know I will get better and better each day I do it. One level is going…

Thank you guys! I will for sure be keeping all of this in mind. Here's to day 1 of my journey to some awesome body changes!!! Wish me luck :D Edited to add:: even though I'm starting this today, I would still appreciate any tips/encouragement/pics to help me along the way. Thanks!!!

I looked at your forum and it looks like you've done a great job! Thanks for the encouraging words!! :)

so SO inspiring! you have done such an awesome job. CONGRATULATIONS!

awesome results!!! this is so inspiring. I will be starting the 30 day shred on the first (while still doing Zumba or the TreadClimber)....I can only hope my results are as great as yours! thanks for posting:)
