Beautiful! Congrats on your loss and your upcoming wedding!!! This is very motivating to see that this really can be done without a gym membership. makes me think twice now about saving pennies for a trainer when Jillian is all we need lol. Congrats again!

Good for you! I used to go to Kohl's with my grandmom all the time. The only thing I typically get out of there is household goods, or underwerar lol

I've lost 35 lbs and counting, and I sometimes feel as if I haven't lost anything, yet my clothes and other people tell me otherwise. You look great and there's definately a difference in you, you just can't see it because we are our hardest critic. Keep up the great work and congrats on your loss thus far!

This week I focused on 30DS and BFBM. Those workouts were killer! I will alternate between the two videos for the next two weeks and then I will be starting my Abs & glutes class at my local rec center. I had graduation dinners to go to this past weekend as well but I held up pretty well opting for veggies and baked…

Artificial sweeteners actually make me ill and give me stomach pangs.:explode: But I have 'tried' Diet Rite soda before in the Orange flavor and I don't recall it affecting me too bad. Diet Sierra Mist may not be that bad either, nerver tried it but its a suggestion. Personally, I drink regular sodas. If you're concerned…

I thinks its a wonderful idea. It would be such a joy to take a class with a 'real' person who connects with their class and enjoys what they're doing vs some overly muscular intimidating person that you feel is judging you or only wants your money. I'd sign up for your class. I hope you do it. Best of luck to you!

Its all mental. You have to find what makes you happy or something to get the fire under your butt. We all get off track here and there so no need to be bummed. But for me, I motivate myself by thinking about how far I've come along and imagine the reward and pride I'll feel when I reach my goal. I also look at others I…

I'm currently using 30DS now and I was skeptical at first too. I read hundreds of reviews on Amazon, through Google, on here, etc, trying to find out which Jillian video is the one for me. I ordered it on Amazon for under 10 bucks and have been using it off and on for about two weeks now. For me, its actually a really good…

It's normally recommended that people eat at least 1200 calories a day. If you log your food it will tell you once you submit your entry for the day. Also, in the Goals section, once you set up your current weight and how much you'd like to weigh it will tell you how many calories per day you should eat and it will adjust…

For me, I log my weight, hold on to the metal things that track your heart rate and then make sure to keep my heart rate above the recommended target for my age. I can tell that the HRM on those machines are 'pretty' accurate because I can tell personally when I'm slacking on the machine going easy on myself. So I take…

Marinara is better than white like a poster said above me. Also thin crust, veggie or chicken pizza vs the 'meaty' kind. Salads are ALWAYS an options well.

I've had a few personal trainers. Some through the gym, some independent contractors. I would definitely say stay away from the gym ones, unless they train outside the gym bc the charges are outrageous. They do help motivate you and will help you with strength. But I would advise that your heart really be into wanting to…

OMG! I am so happy for you and to have read your story. I agree that reading everyone's posts and success and failure stories really helps. Then giving back and inspiring others by showing your results makes such a difference too! Thanks for posting, you look amazing! I cannot wait until I can post my transformation pics…
-
Congrats! You look great. Really motivating to myself and others!
-
That is so awesome! You look great! Its posts like this that let me know results are possible and makes it realistic seeing a real person doing this vs some celebrity spending thousands of dollars. I heart MFP and the people on here who make logging on exciting.

Exercising can become addicting but you have to get in the mind frame to do it. There are some days when I dread going to the gym. There used to be times when I would mess up eating then feel bad and not go to the gym. Then not go for a week and feel like crap cause I had to 'start all over'. But I no longer do this…

I was totally just wondering what other people listen too on their playlists because mine is becoming such a bore! This helped a ton! Some of mines are: Jay-Z - On to the Next one David Guetta - Sexy Chick Rihanna- Rockstar 101, rude boy, please dont stop the music, push up on me Lady Gaga - Bad Romance, Just Dance Ciara -…

Oh and I used to get shin splints all the time when i would go running. You may need to get some new workout shoes. I promise it will help. Make sure they are tied up good, that they have the right support. and that they are the right type of shoes. cross training shoes for x-training, running shoes for runnign, and…

I agree with everyone on here, if you can, maybe up your cardio to 4-5 days a week, your body may be getting used to the workout you've been doing. It helps to add variety maybe every 3 weeks or so or once you dont feel as fatigued after workouts. But plank workouts and other variations of muscle toning will help. Patience…

Iculian...have you been exercising or just eating right? I used to work at a weight loss center here in GA, and many of the women that came in would want to lose weight with out working out, and our plan allowed people to lose about 3-5 lbs a week (although most lost an avg. of 1-3 bc they didnt follow the diet to the 'T")…

Found our new home. I missed the challenge this weekend unfortunately. but I am ready to take on the next one whenever it comes around. I missed exercising yesterday and this weekend. 3 days of no cardio....shame shame. I am back on it today and I will try to add some squats or lunges to my routine today...
