Great job! Your waist and hip measurements are fantastic for a month.

What a powerful story. Thank you for taking the time to write this out. You are on the right track now and you'll find so many wonderful, supportive people here. Best of luck on your journey.

Great job, you look amazing. Has anyone ever told you that you look like LeeLee Sobieski? I definitely see a resemblance. Either way, you're very pretty and look fantastic.

Oh my gosh, are we twins? Last spring the weight was just dropping off of me. Then in June I hit 150 (35 pounds down) and have not lost another pound since. I've tried working out more and less, eating more and less and nothing has moved the scale. I was really frustrated after Christmas then I had a couple of revelations.…

2010 Honda Fit - It's helped motivate me to exercise. You can't drive a Fit and be out of shape. Right? :laugh:

You look amazing! :happy: Thanks for inspiring me to give 30DS another try.

You look great! Fabulous job! :flowerforyou: You don't look bad in the bigger pictures either. You look like a confident woman with a big smile and a bigger personality. It's great to see that shine through even more in the new pictures. Keep up the great work!

3424 + 32= 3456 Go Us! :bigsmile:

Good morning ladies, Amalia, glad you're feeling better. Jessica, I hope you heal quickly. I'm sitting in my office doing the happy dance. I just got on the scale and it was 153!!!! Yeah, my 160 plateau is finally well behind me. So, my weight loss for this week was 4 pounds, partly due to getting past TOM, I think.…

Welcome Tia! One of the great things about this site is that it works with many different diet and exercise goals. Every person here does things a little differently and lots of folks are getting great results :happy: Some people jump right in with hard-core exercise and strict diet plans and do awesome. I would have quit…

I'm loving the 30 Day Shred as well. I'm just on Level 1, Day 4 but can already see a difference in my waist and arms. I'm a little nervous about Level 2 but know it'll get even better results. Keep shredding :happy:

Good morning ladies, It's so good to see great updates from everyone. Sherrell - Your new meal plan sounds like a good one. Please keep us updated on how it goes. Best of luck to your husband with his job application. It sounds like that job would be a good thing for your whole family. Amala - 5 lbs is a great loss for a…

Welcome Michelle! :flowerforyou: It's so good to see that folks are starting to feel better! For my check-in: MFP Starting Weight: 185 Challenge Starting Weight: 160 Current Weight 5/23 - 158.3 The scale is finally starting to drop again after a three week plateau. It's moving slower than molasses in January, but it's…

Welcome to all the new faces, it's great to have you here :flowerforyou: Good job to everyone - both to those people who are kicking butt this week and especially to those who are struggling. Hanging in there through the hard times is what will make us successful in the end. I'm having a rough couple of weeks as well. I…

Shakira - the beat is a good running pace and everytime I want to slow down I think about her abs and pick up the pace. :bigsmile:

Good morning all, Happy Mothers Day! Jessica - so sorry your son was sick, hope he's feeling better now. rjadams - Awesome job on your exercise. What do you do to burn that many calories? Nancy - How did your run go? Amalia - Happy Anniversary! Athens by night sounds incredibly beautiful, we wish we were there too. This…

Manda, that sounds like a frustrating day. At least you were blessed with helpful Marines and a good mechanic. Don't stress about the food just have a better day today and drink lots of water. Your guy is cute. There's something about a man in a uniform. :blushing: -Katie

Good morning everyone, hope you're all having a good start to the week. :flowerforyou: I lost 9.5 pounds in April and weighed in today at 160. Amalia (what a pretty name) good luck with your carb detox. Bet you have way more energy when you finish.

Hi everyone! So I'm a few days late but I'm hoping there's room in the group for one more. I'd love a support group to share motivation with. :smile: My stats: SW - 185 CW - 161 Challenge GW - 145 (healthy BMI) Ultimate GW - 130 I'll probably have to work on the 4th of July but the week before we're going rafting. I want…

Hi everyone, Hope you're all ready for a great last week of April. This has been a really good month for me. I'm down 7.8 pounds today so I might be close to 10 for the month. Even better I'm starting to feel like I've crossed the line from being out of shape to more fit. I stalled out on C25K at week 3 for three weeks…

Sweetrevenge, You're not silly at all. It takes a few weeks to get the hang of things and have your body start to adjust. That breakthrough moment where you realize this does work, and it works for ME is huge. Keep doing what you're doing :happy:

Wow! It sounds like you're doing amazing things, you should be so proud of yourself. Your son is lucky to have such a strong Mom. Good luck with everything and happy early birthday. :happy:

We had a conversation with our local coffee roaster a few months ago and he agrees with TheMaid, amanda, and others. He said that most store bought flavored coffee is burned and they use the flavor to hide the taste. He makes his flavored coffee by adding spices and extracts to good grounds right before he brews it. We…

Thanks for doing this again Theresa. Hi everyone! Last month was good motivation to stick with this. Here's to a great April. :drinker: Katie

Lcouterm - too funny! Congrats kamanie on reaching your goal and to everyone else for sticking with it and doing so well! I'm down 7 lbs since I started. Don't know if I'll make it to 10 for the month but it's been a great month anyway. I've been doing C25K and have more energy and generally feel better. I've been trying…

Vallandingham, What a scary experience for you and your family. It's great to hear she recovered well. Courtney, While you're correct that it is rare, it is a concern for folks engaged in intense athletic activities. I've worked as a backcountry ranger/EMT at Grand Canyon, Zion and Yosemite and have treated cases at all of…

If you're drinking excessively and not maintaining adequate levels of electrolytes/nutrients it can cause hyponatremia which is potentially deadly. It's not super common but is seen in Grand Canyon or desert hikers. It also caused the death of a woman participating in a "Wee for Wii" water drinking competition in…

Too funny! If the Packers are on I usually have to take the meat off the grill. My distracted husband will get sucked into the game and let it burn. :laugh:

Thanks for asking the question MFR1974 and for the good answers. I started C25K yesterday and wasn't sure what to do today. How nice to come on here and find the answer. Good luck with C25K.
