I know what you mean about proving to yourself!! I have done 30 DS before and didn't make it until the end :( let's do this together!

I am doing ripped in 30. I can't imagine doing 8 pound weights! I have moved to 2 kg weights which is about 4.5 lbs!! Keep up the great work!

I just finished day 6 and it was hard!! moving on to level 2 tomorrow, looking forward to a change. 30 days seems so far away!

I haven't been trying to pay much attention to the scale. I'm listening to my body and how it feels... I feels so much better than I did a two weeks ago, not tracking calories and not exercising. I am really trying to see this as a lifestyle and not worry about the weight so much. I know it will all work out in the end :)

I posted my pics on my blog :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ladybb7

I'm using 2 Kg weights to start, will move to 4 kg after 5 days :)

I have done 30DS before but not consistently... I'm hoping to stick to it this time!

Jeju Island, South Korea (6 months until I move back to Canada!!)

1. to fit into my skinny jeans and feel good 2. I'm a bridesmaid in my sister and sister in law's weddings this summer!! :)

I'm in South Korea so we are in similar time zones... it's fun living in the future :)

I started ripped in 30 today :) add me if you want, we can keep each other motivated :)

I wish I could figure out how to gain in this area lol..

I make my own "tv dinners" that are a lot healthier. I buy a bunch of re-useable plastic containers and then i buy a big filet of salmon- I bake it in the oven with just a litte dijon and maple syrup then I portion it into the containers with rice and vegetable. I freeze them and heat them up in the microwave.

thanks for the replies, what about changing goal of 2 lbs/ week.. I was thinking about putting it to 1.5 to see if that changed anything thoughts?

I just finished day 2... Add me if u want :)

I just did the first workout today... Please add me as a friend if you want to help keep each other motivated... I have a couple weddings coming up in the next couple of months and I'm hoping this will help tone me up :) question- do you stay with the one level for the month? or do you increase when you feel like you can?

Thanks for the replies... I think I will star experimenting with this...

I'm working on lower carb and sugar... Just following the MFP goals- it doesn't feel restricting at all

Sw-184 Cw- 170.8 Gw-150

Definitely had one of those today... Just felt like taking a break but I know I will be back on track tomorrow :)

Going to keep sticking to MFP calorie, sugar, and carb goals! My starting weight Sunday April 17th =170.8 My weight on Saturday April 23rd = My total weight lost for this week =

Awesome! Will meet back here next Sunday :)

I definitely gave up some fruit... I was eating 3-4 pieces a day and last week cut back to one, I try to eat veggies instead... I know some people say not to worry about natural sugars but in some ways I think sugar is still sugar- I will keep this up next week and see if my loss is still substantial :)

I agree- too much fruit is a bad thing! I have been sticking to the MFP sugar goals and have been seeing good results.

This probably won't help the diet but you must try loukomades (little honey donuts).... Seriously your are on vacation and this may be the only chance u get to experience this authentic experience... Just don't overdo it like I did :) eat Greek salads and protein during the day and indulge a little at night... Have fun

I eat the carbs and sugar recommended by MFP- which are lower compared to what I used to eat... I have done south beach in the past with success, but gained weight back when I slacked on the program.... With MFP I don't feel deprived and am still seeing results... a bit slower, but at least I'm able to eat what I want :)

Omg! Who is crazy enough to take this?!

I am now trying to stick to MFP sugar and carb limits, it seems so easy to go overboard on sugar...

I suggest asian dishes for shirataki noodles. If you want a more traditional pasta alternative try pasta slim http://www.pulmuonewildwood.com/noodle.asp I found them at my local health food store. But like the shirataki suggestions, rinse well, pat them dry, and then heat them in a frying pan with alfredo sauce and…

Sounds interesting! Sorry I can't help
