I am following Atkins basically, slightly modified. I have lost 14lbs in my first 14 days and I know it will start to slow down now. I've done it in the past and it has worked for me. I do eat lots of veggies and some fruit and lots of protein. If I start to have a sweet craving which for the most part has subsided, I'll…

OK, so do we have to follow that workout schedule? I thought it was going to be more flexible on our own stuff. My plan was to do 30DS and then RI30 during the challenge.

Hello, I'm Tanya. I am 5'3 and sadly weighing 218 but down from 226. I never thought I would get that heavy but working nights and bad eating habits the past few years helped me out along with a knee injury. I am so much more focused now on getting healthier and being more active so looking forward to this challenge. I had…

I drink mostly water and tea. If I start drinking even more water than normal after awhile it does get a "taste" so what I do is get crystal light flavor packets or put fresh lemon in it and it makes a difference.

amazing!!! great job!! and very inspiring!!!

I ended up starting late and have only done one day then I've been sick the past two days and in bed. My daughters have spring break coming up and we have a lot of activities planned so I am going to get three workouts in this week and next week and then start my official 30ds. I'm looking forward to it and that one…

THANKS!!! I started today and feel great although I thought I was going to die while doing it!! It's very similar to the tabata circuits I had been doing on my own off and on throughout the day for the past month. I've really slacked off the past two weeks because I've worked so much it really kicked my booty on this day…

I finally got to start today and, although I felt like dying a few times, I feel so much better after. I can see it getting boring though so I hope I can make it through!!! Keep it up so I can get some encouragement reading all your posts!!!

I can tell they are getting easier or I can do more before getting tired than when I started. My 10yr old daughter is doing it with me and she really likes it!

I've got to find the remote to my DVD because mine won't let me select 'play' without it!!! I was planning on starting Monday because I felt I needed an extra week but I haven't been able to since I can't find the remote!!! Good luck everyone!

Rest day!!! My daughters are doing this with me and I think they are happier than me that it's rest day! Tomorrow brings 70, yee-ouch!! Not as sore today as the first two days so I guess that's progress!

Just wondering if the tilapia was frozen or thawed?

I've noticed that when I exercise regularly I either don't gain any weight during that time or it's just a couple lbs but when I'm not exercising regularly I easily put on at least 5lbs during that time!! I would either just skip weighing during that time or know it could be more than usual. I also get extreme exhaustion…

Planned on starting this in March so I'm glad I found this group! I'm actually going to start today because I think I'll need the extra time! Good Luck everyone!!

yikes! day 1 complete and I'm outta breath! haha!

This was for the person talking about using painkillers or something like that.....

you would probably do good to take an nsaid like motrin before running. I am just starting c25k so I'm not a running expert but I take motrin before I do Curves/Zumba and other various exercises because it helps with the soreness later.

I just LOVED this!!!

It's your body responding to your diet change. It should start to regulate but, if not, I'd have it evaluated. Stay hydrated!

I just started MFP and have been reading these message boards and I think it's really sad how many people want to be negative, rude, and tear someone down on their fitness/weightloss journey ESPECIALLY on a board and site that is meant to inspire, encourage, and build each other up!!! Who cares about the actual science and…
