I started the 30 day shred a few weeks ago.....started out using my Zumba toning sticks, then bought me some 3 lb weights and just last night, I started using the 5 lb weights (for everything but those side lunge things with the arm raises, sticking with the 3's for now) I am still on level 1 and do it 4 times per week…

This will be my first challange I've ever done.....I'm so excited!! SW: 146 CW: 139 GW: 134 for end of Sept. Weigh in Dates: 9/1 139 9/8 9/15 9/22 9/31 Total weight lost: Best of luck to everybody doing this challange also !!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! You are amazing!!!!!!!! I Love seeing success stories :)

And that too was a question I had......hubby tried to tell me that starting weights now would put muscle on top of fat, but muscle helps to burn fat right? So I could do some weights along with cardio and still get the thinner, toner look and not look like a body builder.....

I would like to know the same thing......I still have some pounds to lose first, but want to tone everything up. Especially my belly!! Congrats btw on reaching your weight loss goal :)

Well, went to my cardioligist appo......they did a stress test and everything went fine. Got up to my 100% mark and blood pressure and everything working just like it should. The dr wants me to wear a monitor just to make sure my heart rate doesn't drop below 40 while sleeping but for now he just thinks that the 40's range…

Congrats!!!! I'll be happy when I can get in my size 6 :)

I just got my Polar FT7 in today and plan on trying it out on my bike ride tonight.......I'm tired of the guessing game of calories burned, I want to know for sure :)

Have you tried MiO? I hate hate hate plain water....adding flavor is the ONLY way I can make myself drink it.....I never quite get in my 8 glasses but I get a lot closer than before :)

Hi and good luck :) feel free to add me :)

You can add me :)

I had to sell my horses about 5 years ago... did barrel racing, pole bending, and trail rides......I blame part of my weight gain on that!! I was sooooo much more active when I had the horses. Hoping to be in a postition to get some more in the next 3 years......I don't want to have to board them, I want them on my own…

Ramtx 36 and smile :) I guess some of our names kinda give away our age :/

I'm 5'6" and 146 lbs looking to get down to 125. You can add me :)

You can add me :)

I hear you.....it makes it rough, I end up guesstimating my calories.

I agree :) I need all the help I can get.

I met my sweetheart on Plenty of Fish.com almost 2 years ago but just started dating last June :) He is a God send......I can't picture ever being without him.

My boyfriend just bought my daughter and I the Wii console and it came with wii sports and wii resort. He had the wii fit and the balance board and he gave us that to go with it. We just started using it over the weekend so I haven't even seen what all it does yet. I see they have Zumba for the Wii too, would love to get…

Very well said :)

Hi from your neighbor in Louisiana :)

Thank y'all for your input, I feel better now :) We have the Zumba dvds at home but I just think 1 class a week being away from the comfort of our home where we can press the pause button, would do us alot of good. I think we would work much harder and having more room to move has got to make it better also. Trying to do…

Oh, and mine is Candy Sue....my dad wanted me to have the same initials as him I guess :)

Brittoni Nicole 23 .......named for her dad Tony Leah Charlene 17 .........from her gm's middle name Lee and my fathers first name Charles Jon Scott 15 ...........Just liked the name :) and my grandson is Hunter Warren age 3.....Warren was my brothers middle name who passed away at the age of 13.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! At least you have a great sense of humor :)

I cheated.....I weighed myself to get my accurate weight to change my goals. I only want to lose down to 125 instead of the original 120. After looking at old pictures, the 125ish weight looks much better on me......120 and under is getting a little too bony for my body type. But I'm getting back on the wagon now....no…

I made it this morning without weighing myself....YAY!!!! My daughter pulled it out to weigh herself and I'm thinking the whole time, just put it up, get it out of my sight! lol.

I think I'm gonna try cutting out pictures of what I want my body to look like and pin them up on the wall all around my workout area.......maybe take my bikini out and hang it on the wall too!! lol

Hmmmm, I might have to try that........I think I can, I think I can!!!! I love the idea of getting the hubby to hide the scale, maybe I'll get my boyfriend to take mine to his house (an hour away from mine).

I'm eating a big juicy cheeseburger with fries!! But I'm freaking starving. I'm used to eating like a horse....always have and I have stayed the same size for the last 3 years (I'm only 135, still skinny everywhere but my gut and that's from having 3 kids). Now I am trying to cut back on calories and my body is going into…
