Thanks guys!

woohoo! How fantastic! Great job.

What's her new one? I've had to do a bit of extra modifying, too...I go between actually hopping & just bouncing when doing the jump-ropes. Man, does that move bring out the burn!

It's a dvd by Jillian Michaels called The 30 Day Shred. It's great. I'm starting with my 1 lb weights (partially because I already had them from when I used to go walking...just to add a bit of oomph) because I'm very unaccustomed to working out. I'm still getting a good arm workout, and after I've been doing it for a…

Thanks, love! Good luck on your shred as well!

I've been logging it as circuit training also...can I ask how many calories you're burning? I've really been wondering about the validity of my 286 cal figure...

According to Jillian Michaels it's got to do with your estrogen levels. Women with more estrogen are pears. (that's all I retained...lol, because I'm a pear.) check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSpZN4imD44&feature=related also, while you're at it...watch her other videos with ediets.com they're very informative.

I keep mine at my parents' house! haha...just kidding. I don't own one. But my parents have a great old medical scale that I go use once a week.

I agree with changing from sedentary. I'm a stay at home mom to an 8 month old girl and I also do quite a bit of sitting during the day, mostly while we nurse....or when she naps (she won't nap elsewhere! agh!). At first I said I was sedentary but after thinking about it...I'm moving periodically throughout the day to cook…

Yay! You look fantastic! I just started today and I'm very eager to see the results it will bring!

My reward will be being thin and feeling attractive again! That's all I ask for!

This is strangely harsh and gentle all at the same time. I like your style.

Hello! I'm a breastfeeding my 8 month old daughter! I'm absolutely no expert on this subject, but I'm eating 1610 calories a day & my milk supply hasn't changed. Two of my resources are http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/mom/mom-calories-fluids.html &…

you look fantastic! very inspiring!

Yay! Great job. I can really see the difference in your face!

I wondered about that! It's neat to know.

Before starting MFP I had a can of soda in my hand almost all day. I've been addicted since I was a pre-teen. So I now have one a day, sometimes two if I have some extra calories left over & I'm not hungry. I log them. Seeing the "150" - "170" depending on what I have is what keeps me from having more! If I cut it out…

I want one! I really wish they weren't so pricey! (sorry...this doesn't help...)

maybe this is a stupid question...but does smoking affect your weight loss? i know it absolutely affects your health. but are you saying it would inhibit weight loss?

High five! I can't wait to experience the same!

Thanks everyone! You've all been a great help! I'm shocked and pleased with the response I got. This is obviously a great community!

Ok, so if I were more active I would be allotted more calories?

My goal is 128, 1lb/week. Should I lower my weekly goal loss? I feel almost like i'm starving myself at this rate. Maybe I just need time to adjust?

high five!
