I'm from arkansas and I don't think there is much of anything healthy here lol. Just try to stay away from anything fried. Go with bakes, grilled, boiled! Also I try to find something similar in the database when I eat at a mom and pop joint and the exact thing isn't in the MFP system!

I agree with the get mad posts. He didn't leave you because your fat, that is just the excuse he gave you because he knew how to get to you. Put your anger and frustration into eating healthy and getting up off the couch. Get the rest of your weight off and get in shape and be on the search for a good man that will treat…

Wow. Amazing story. I am so proud of you for all you have accomplished. That is fantastic!

Love it. There are fantastic ideas on pinterest. Yes you do have to be invited.

I can't see your diary. Are you eating your exercise calories? Are you eating often enough? Drinking plenty of water?

Isn't the point to see how many calories you burn during the workout? So if you workout for 30 min, why would you let your hrm run for 45 min? Won't that give you a false reading if your hrm says 300 cal after 45 min but you only log 30 min in MFP? I hope that makes sense. I'm confused on why you would log more calories…

I stop mine at the end of my workout. So I'm anxious to see what other people say!

You have an awesome stomach! Amazing.

Great job country girl! I'm so proud of you guys for taking control! I'm on day one of level two finally! I was getting bored with level one!

Great job. That is something to be proud of!

I would definitely get a HRM. But you should also be eating more. Not sure what you are eating or how often since I can't see your diary. But if I were you I would eat 5-6 times a day with your workout regimen. Also try varying your workouts. If you do the same things every single day your body will get used to it.

There are threads with lots of pictures! Search for "30 day shred pics" good luck with your journey! I'm on day 7! Thank goodness it's easier than day 1 lol.

Wow you look amazing! Very pretty! Congrats!

I love all the transformation pictures! They are all amazing! I took my before pictures yesterday. Today I'm on day 3 level 1. I'll try to remember to post my before and afters next month!

I'm part of a group that started this month. I don't think she is adding anyone else because the group got so big but I'll add you as a friend and keep you motivated!

You look amazing!

Usually on the weeks you don't lose anything the next week you will lose double! Hang in there.

If that is working for you and you are losing then I would stick with it. MFP will lower your calories as you lose. If you want to bump it up to 2 lbs a week then your calories will be lower!

I'm 5'7 1/2 too. I upped my calories yesterday from 1200 to 1620 I'm hoping that will be more manageable for me. 1200 calories I was hungry a lot. I think since you only haveva few more pounds to go you should start gradually upping your calories so your body can get used to eating more!

I'm addicted to what I call the green smoothie! It's a handful of baby spinach. About 5-6 frozen whole strawberries. 4 stevia packets. 1/2 cup frozen pineapple. 1 banana. Add some ice and water. Yum! About 185 calories per serving.

You're basically talking about zig zagging your calories. I've thought about trying that but haven't yet. I upped my calories today from 1200 to 1620. I just never felt full at 1200. I exercise 5-7 days a week. Google zig zag calories and read about it. It basically doesn't let your body get used to the same calorie intake…

I did day 3 of 30 DS today. I'm 5'7 and 181. The front of my thighs about died after the first workout. I used a bunch of muscle rub the second day and fought through the pain during the 28 min. I rested the third day. Today was so much easier. I actually did all my jumping jacks without resting. I took pics of myself…

I also have a hrm and I burned 285 cal doing 30DS and 200 doing wii dance. Totaled 41 min so yours may be fairly accurate. I always eat my exercise calories and I have done well. A few months ago when I was working really hard to get in shape I lost 9 pounds in a month and I ate all my exercise calories. If you eat 1200…

I always eat my exercise calories and I have done well. A few months ago when I was working really hard to get in shape I lost 9 pounds in a month and I ate all my exercise calories. Try a couple weeks of each and see how you feel and what works for you. If you don't eat them then technically your body only received 700…

I am on day 3 of 30 day shred and it kicked my butt day 1 & 2. Maybe you should get two or three videos and rotate so you don't get bored!

I can see a difference! Especially in your face. You look younger to me!

Wow. I'm on day three level one. I hope I have results similar to yours! That is amazing. Keep up the good work!

It is a video by Jillian michaels. It is 3 different levels. It is circuit training...intense. You do each level for 10 days. It is 4 min warm up 20 min training and 4 min cool down. You can get it at wal mart for 10 bucks.

I think you are supposed to do 10 days of each level!

I'm 5'7 and 181lbs. I burned 285 cal doing the full 28 min of level one.
