The amount of loose skin you're left with is determined by how much you lose, how fast you lose it, how you lose it and most importantly genetics.

I am doing 30 day shred too. I am modifying all the moves because I'm back at ground zero with my weight and fitness. I'll be one of your accountability buddies. My workout week starts on Wednesday, I'm exercising 6 days and Tuesday is my rest day.

I regained all the weight I lost years ago (+ some) during and primarily after my pregnancy BUT pilates has been helping me feel muscles I have not felt since my first trimester. I also wish I knew about it during my first weight loss & fitness journey. I'm happy you're enjoying it!😊

Different people may have different success rates with macro percentages. For example I use 30%carbs/40%proteins/30%fats and it works well for me. However, when I'm not exercising on my regular schedule I lower my carbs.

When I was 260+lbs all I could do was walk and for me it certainly wasn't a waste of time. Eventually I began doing fitness blender videos (which were and still are awesome), c25k, Jillian Michaels dvds, then beachbody workouts. In summary walking is my favorite activity.

I'm on week 2, day 2 of insanity. I'm hoping to actually complete the program because I often start a workout program then switch to something else.

I've been paleo for 2years (almost) now and it gets easier. Don't beat yourself and remember that it's a gradual change.

I have gotten success eating 30%carbs/40%protein/30%fats

I would suggest eating paleo (or create your own version that works for you). In my experience it's also beneficial tracking your carb intake (no more than 100 grams per day unless I was doing intense exercise). I set my macros to 30%carbs/40%protein/30%fats. Making these changes in my life helped me to lose 110lbs. I…

I understand the frustration when people refer to my diet as a "diet" but as my paleo years have increased I've gotten better at calmly explaining that how I eat is simply my lifestyle not a fad or a "diet".

Based on my experience with shin splints I would suggest doing calf raises and other exercises to strengthen the muscles in that region. Slowing down and gradually increasing my speed was also helpful in alleviating my shin splints.

I began eating paleo and I lost 110lbs over a year and a half (I did some self sabotage along way). I still have 30-40lbs to go. For my workout I began with fitnessblender 3 days cardio 3 days strength training.

When I began running I had horrible shin splints until I began doing calf raises. I also found that slowing down and "easing" into running was helpful.

I did week one until I got to the ab interval day and I could hardly move or sit. In fact my back still slightly hurts but I'll be pushing into week 2. Feel free to add me.

The moves tend to be the same but she varies the progression in each video. I have completed a few of her dvds and I found then enjoyable and challenging (my favorite is banish fat boost metabolism). With her dvds I notice my body gets smaller; however, the scale doesn't move much.

I started T25 on Monday, it's fun so far. I didn't think it would make me sweat as much as it did.

I love their website and I love that they have workouts that are accessible to everyone regardless of the person's fitness level; 110lbs ago I used their videos and I still do.

I have been doing it I just can't handle them every day so I do them every other day.

@succedin2 I saw the app and I like the variety it has also. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome work everyone. Since I started my new job it became challenging to get my steps in but missm2 you inspired me to walk from NJ to PA yesterday it was only 4.5 miles but its better than nothing. I plan to do this every day if I am not at work past 5.

That made me giggle lol. Thanks for the encouragement FutureThoughts.

Congrats on getting a schedule that works better for you. September and October were horrible for me with eating less nuts and being consistent with exercise but this month I'm ready (I think lol).

Awesome work succeedin and missm. Sadly my legs can't handle the squats daily so I'm doing every other day.

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, what is the name of your app? Maybe I could use it to add some variety (getting bored of my workouts lately ).

@Commitment13, hey it's great to meet you; 125lbs is my goal too. At the moment my weight fluctuates between 150 and 156 and I'm trying to figure out how to break my plateau that seems to be everlasting. I look forward to hearing more from you. Happy almost birthday!!!!!!

I'm proud that I'll finally complete week 4 of c25k today because last year at this time there was no way I could even envision myself running for 3 or 5mins. C25k was the first workout program I attempted (but failed miserably at) when I began my fitness journey so it means a lot to me to be able to complete it before the…

I'm doing one from fitnessblender, is that what you're doing too? If not which one are you doing?

@ FutureThoughts, I hope you feel better soon and based on my experience putting together a table is a cognitive, emotional and physical workout lol.
