Loved reading this. :) Thanks for posting and congratulations!! :D

No loss this week, but after spending a week and a half with my family... I am just happy about not gaining any! 141.6... what a random number to be hanging out on. lol Workin to bust out of the 140's! Current Weight: 141.6 Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 130 lbs REVISED to 137 lbs Weight Category: REDUCE (6 lbs)…

I don't know what insanity is like, but I don't have a cal counter either and I normally just mark down my DVDs as circuit training... It's not the best as far as accuracy I suppose, but I try and use it as an estimate! Also -- your baby is adorable! :)

Work up to it gradually... I've been at a plateau for a while and upping my calories seems to actually be helping!

one pound down! :) Current Weight: 141.6 Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 130 lbs REVISED to 137 lbs Weight Category: REDUCE (6 lbs) Group: REVISED Lookin' Slim...Droppin' 5-10 6/9: 142.6 **start of challenge** 6/16: 143.6 6/23: 143 6/30: 143 7/7: <<<mini goal weight 138 REVISED to 142>>> actual: 142.6 7/14: 141.6…

Hey Vic! I changed my challenge goal to 137 because I've switched to half a pound per week! Thanks! :D

Well, I'm back to the start at 142.6 and I am happy too see the scale dropping just a tiny bit after weeks of stalling. Trying some new things and hoping this pushes me through to the 130's!

I have struggled my whole life with emotional eating... please count me in! I want to know that I can do this... I can make the choice not to eat something when I am not actually hungry. Let's do it! :)

I hate the pyramid and the plate... it's far too simple and there isn't enough information. This is an article Jillian Michaels wrote about the new Food Plate... I really appreciated what she had to say: http://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-living/we-need-policy-not-plates.aspx

Lots of people have already recommended things I love... The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanna Collins FOR SURE! The Sookie Stackhouse Novels by Charlaine Harris The Books of Bayern (Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, Forest Born) by Shannon Hale (Anything by her really...) The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray I love…

PW 143 CW 143 MG 138 Weigh-in in 6 days Daily loss needed: 0.83 lbs Realistic? I wish... How will I do it? Yesterday I revised my goals on MFP... I am trying increasing my calorie intake to see if it will help me bust through this plateau... I am now only working for half a pound per week. I will continue my exercise as…

Love this! What an amazing feeling! Celebrating with you! :)

With 30DS there isn't a ton of info that comes with the DVD... So, I'll tell you what I did and that might help a little! :) 1. How long do I do each phase? Do each phase until you feel ready to move onto the the next one... You could do each one for 10 or move away from the easier ones early so you have more time on level…

Weighing in with TOM... 143 again. I have seriously hit a plateau. I really need to reevaluate what I am doing and what I am eating... I'm going to try to figure it out this week. Current Weight (As of 6/30): 143 Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 130 Weight Category: REDUCE 6/9: 142.6 **start of challenge** 6/16:…

My NSVs have been the best part about all of this... the number on the scale may not always say what I want it to, but there are a lot of NSVs I'm proud of. Working through two of Jillian Michael's 30 Day DVDs, seeing my body take on a new shape, going from a size 12 to wearing an 8 and even sometimes a 6 (I sobbed when I…

5 lb weights for most, but I definitely grabbed some soup cans to start with some of those moves!

I like to keep instant oatmeal around for quick breakfasts, Love laughing cow cheese or babybel cheese -- both pretty low in calories (I also eat cottage cheese some mornings), I am obsessed with Nature's Own thin sandwich rounds and thin bagels -- great for those turkey sandwiches!, grilled chicken (I usually buy frozen…

What an incredible story about an amazing journey. I am so sorry that you have been through so much hardship, but I truly admire your strength. Thank you for sharing your story and being an inspiration for all those who have read it. Keep up your hard work! You look amazing! :D

Almost 5'4" and my goal is 120

You look awesome!! Way to go!

Well, I am the kind of girl who needs a routine... So, I am sticking to my DVDs for the next twelve weeks. I will work out at least five times a week. I also need to do better with the kinds of foods I'm eating... so, I'm going to try cutting out prepackaged (junk) foods and have only one cheat day a week. Five things I…

So awesome! Way to go everyone... I am so inspired by you all! Bring on the next twelve weeks!

YES! :D Can't wait!

Ending our challenge at 142.6. It's not the end... I am proud of what I have accomplished so far. I am stronger mentally and physically. I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I have gone from a size 12 to a 6-8. People are noticing... more importantly, I am noticing the differences. It feels so good and I can't wait…

I loved the 30 Day Shred. I tried doing the Supreme 90 Day System, but I didn't like the routine as much... it was never as clear. Now, I'm doing Ripped in 30. I love Jillian Michael's DVDs... you know EXACTLY what to expect from her, you know how long you'll be working out, you know how long you'll be doing each move. I…

The best time to weigh your self is first thing in the morning... after you use the restroom and before eating. If you weigh yourself later in the the same day you are bound to weigh more. You're not giving your body time to process what you're putting into it. And this takes time... it's about what kind of calories you…

Well, I was a bit horrified when the scale said 146 lbs this morning. :( I'm trying not to be too discouraged... I know some of it is the kind of food I've been eating and some of it's TOM, but now I just feel ready to try harder. So, 146 for me this week.
