Weight loss/getting healthy can be extremely overwhelming. I find 3 major reasons for why I get overwhelmed. 1) Because for a lot of us it's an entire lifestyle change which is really hard and takes CONSTANT focus and subconscious reprogramming 2) Weight loss is HUGE commercial industry so everywhere you go you see tips…

I know I am a few weeks late but I'd like to join! Congrats on meeting your goals everyone!!!! Today my goal is to do No More Trouble Zones, and to stay with in my calories :)

I am 5'9 5'10 depending on how straight I stand lol :) I did really well on myfitnesspal last year but have regained after moving and taking a new job. I am 165lbs now and I am working to get back to my first GW of 145lbs and ultimate GW of 135 or 145 very toned. I would love some tall friends!!! Sometimes I just feel like…

^^This happened to me like two years ago and I lost around 20 KGs about 10 of them without really "trying". I was super strict from about May until September of last year to lose the last 5-10KGs and then went to a kinda "meh I eat good/whole/real/healthy food it can't be that bad" attitude toward eating. I have been…

Well done!!! I hope to get to where you are. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great job!!!! You look fab :)

Amazing!!! Well done :)

Amazing job!!!!

I know exactly what you are going through!! I think it's hard to keep the weight off, when you are losing against a timeline or for an event. I got down to about where you are for a trip last summer, and then kinda "let go" and now I am starting again! sigh. Hey at least we keep getting back on that horse! Add me if you…

you all look amazing!!

Hiya! Congrats on your work so far! I think your struggle is pretty universal... it's hard to see your success or appricate your body if you've spent a long time unhappy with your looks and wanting to change. For me it's often really hard to see my success for a couple of reasons. One I've always been bigger so in my…

Excellent! Thanks...wow I've lost about 30 lbs!!! crazy :)

I am sorry you had to deal with that. Even though it was nonesense it still sucks big time I think this highlights a bigger problem in our society (I am speaking mainly of western society because that's what i know). We have a very all or nothing mentality when it comes to a lot of things, professional success, economic…

Thanks Guys! Sweetiepieste how did you change your start weight? I would like do that as well :)

I should also add that I just started c25k .... just finished day 2 of week 2. I really like it, and it's nice to break up the circuits for a change :) Good luck everyone!

Great work! And esp great job keeping it off!!

Wow well done!!! Keep up the amazing work :)

Thanks guys!! As for the videos - I started off doing the 30 Day Shred.....then fell off the wagon for a while. Now I am doing no more trouble zones which I LOVE but it does take a bit more time. I highly recommend her videos, I think they work really well - especially if you weren't really into fitness when you started.

Oh also for those who use the ZenLabs app (which I LOVE) you can also use spotify for the playlists! I am not ashamed to admit it took me a while to figure it out, but it's super simple. Basically the app lets you run spotify and c25k at the same time, so you just create a playlist on spotify and then play it when you…

Just finished week one! Woot Woot! I can't believe i am really enjoying running. I am not as fast as I would like to be, but I figure, build endurance first then add speed.

Week One Day Two DONE! Goal for day three - increase my speed a teeeny tiny bit :happy: Good luck everyone!

Well done!!!

Yay! I just finished my first day of this program! I really want to like running and for the first time EVER after 30 min on the treadmill I didn't want to die or rip my lungs out. Despite my "competitive push as hard as you can until you die" nature I listened to all of your advice and started off slow and followed the…

Congrats!

Happy Early Birthday!!! You look sooo great! massive congratulations. I gotta say my big 3-0 is in just over two months and I hope to look as happy and healthy as you!

From when I was 10 till I have ALWAYS between 15-40lbs overweight. My highest weight was at 22 and 200lbs. (I'm 5'8). And I've experienced it all very similar experience....people telling me not to complain or report that I had be drugged and violated at a party b/c "no one would believe that anyone would want to have sex…

Amazing! Just what I needed to see today. I am pretty much exactly where you started (inches and shape wise...not weight as I am a wee bit taller than you) and was toying around with doing 30 day shred again before my vacation in 6 weeks. Well now it's def a go! Thanks for the inspiration :) PS Ripped in 30 is good...but…

Well Done!!!!!

Awesome work!!! You look great and more importantly sound really heathy and happy! :)

Yes I understand that. This is only for a week while i am in the field without access to weights. When I return I will keep with my weight routine. I just wanted to have something to do for that WEEK as opposed to just saying...oh well i won't workout this week b/c I don't have weights.
