Wow!! Congratulations, you are truely an inspiration!

I would suggest a pretty intense workout like 30 day shred or insanity paired with some cardio.

I destroyed my knees from running and had to pretty much stop exercising for over a year. It hurt to even walk. I once sat down on the toilet and could not stand back up because the pressure on my knees was too much. Oh ya I am 30 and not obese. I found that doing a 10,000 step challenge (walk 10,000 steps minimum a day -…

It makes it super hard to stay motivated! In the summer I did a 10,000 steps a day challenge with some co-workers (no longer have that job :( ) and I won by a long shot b/c some days I would walk over 20.000. I think one day I did 28,000. But that was hiking pretty areas, etc. I have no desire to walk 28,000 steps on a…

HI Barb- He does all those activities with me, but it is winter in Minnesota, about 20 degrees out. We used to hike a few hours a day. It is more the eating that is the problem. I never see him so when I do meals feel like an event.

Got my sit ups done tonight. Hoping I get the rest done! I have not been doing ANY cardio or anything.

I am at my heaviest right now, 154 lbs. (my weight fluctuates up to 5 lbs a day though so numbers are hard - I can tell how I am doing by how my clothes fit). I have been doing MFP for a couple years, but always fall off the wagon. Same with exercise, I will get on a kick, then get a cold or something, and fall off the…

I drink it because I dont want all the hormones and steroids, etc that are in cows milk.

Missed 4 days this week of the shred. So I wont get to progress to level 2 for some time. Especially because I am so out of shape level 1 is still really hard (pushups etc). I am very disappointed in myself, but proud of you guys! I fell off the healthy eating wagon too :(

Did it S/M/T but my calves are KILLING me so I think I might take tomorrow off and just walk. I cant do the full thing either...I need take some small cheat breaks! I wont move to level 2 until I can fully do level 1 tho....with real pushups!

Vodka with SODA water (not tonic) and some lime or cucumber slices!

Ok my measurements: 31.0 on 05/02/11 Hips 37.0 on 05/02/11 Thighs 24.0 on 05/02/11 biceps 13.0 on 05/02/11 bust 38.5 on 05/02/11 lower waist-bellybutton 37.0 on 05/02/11 My calves are soooooooo sore! I think it is from the "jump rope" Cant wait to see results! I will measure again on Monday!!!

I did my first 30DS and am suprised at how fast the 20 mins went by! Thats great b/c then I dont dread the time doing it! My calves are tight, but my arms are ok. I used really light weights so think I will bump that up. Im going to go buy a tape measure in a few minutes here. People that dont want to give…

Ill get my measurements tomorrow! Cant wait! For the results I mean!

I will do it in the morning most day, but at night on days I work really early. Might be complicated but I need to stick to it! Will buy a tapemeasure tomorrow and get my measurements in!

Those are the ones I plan to do!

Ok so the couple of you that want to start tonight/tomorrow lets send in our measurements tomorrow (I would tonight but I need to buy a tape measure tomorrow) and then we can talk about how hard it is! Or easy, or if we need to miss a day or need motivation to NOT miss a day!

Wow you guys exercise a lot! 30DS plus running and zumba?!? When I used to run thats all I needed...I barely weighed anything! But cant do that anymore so thought would give this a go. Hopefully someone who reads this wants to start tomorrow so I have some teammates to keep me moving!

I am in a similar situation. Cant do Yoga or anything b/c any pressure on my wrists hurts!

My friend is obsessed with it! She is vegan and eats it a ton. Its all about experimenting and finding what works for you as far as recipes. I have eaten it on homemade pizza and it was tasty.

I feel your pain! I have been eating 1200 calories daily and working at 5 times a week and some days the scale says I gained weight and others it says it is the same as when I started. Makes me want to give up. Why kill myself trying to eat healthy and light when I can eat WHATEVER I want and weigh the same!

Well its the neck up, but Im super dizzy and weak so I cant really go to the gym or do much......

Same here. 60 minutes of this gives a medium range of what I looked up online for average calories burned during Zumba. As far as exercise logging....MFP is really whack....hardly and options.

Always have some by you....side of the bed....coffee table while watching tv...on ur desk at work. Then you will see it and think to take a sip here and there!

I would suggest rice or almond milk. If she drinks that large amount of milk a day, it should not be either cow or soy as they are both usually high in hormones. Soy has natural estrogen I think, but it is still added hormones that a young person doesnt need in excess.

Also, iced coffee is very low cal and drinking it cold cuts thru the bitter taste of coffee sometimes. I take a cup of iced coffee (toddy at most coffee shops), 1 tbsp maple syrup, and a dash of soy milk. Super delicious and refreshing for very little calories.

To sweeten naturally you could use a little honey or maple syrup. They still have a few calories, but less than chocolate, and no chemicals like the artificial sweeteners. A little of either of these goes a long way, so for a couple shots espresso you would only need like 1/2 tsp to sweeten it up!

OMG I cant even imagine not liking water! I cant get enough of it! Its soooooooooooooo refreshing!!!!!! Have any of you tried to cut up lemon or cucumber and put it in a pitcher of water? I do that in the summer and it gives the water a really nice fresh taste. Also adds flavor naturally for those of you who dont like it,…

I'm in as well! I will have to be a week behind everyone though b/c I am having surgery next week so wont be able to start til the week after :( really wish I could start at the same time so we could compare at the same level. If anyone else cant start until 1 more week let me know!!!

I would love to lose 3 lbs a week so if you find something that works PLEASE let me know! Everyone says slow and steady and that you should focus more on being healthy that a certain amount of pounds in a certain time. But if you are like me you need those very drastic goals to do anything. I have had a goal of losing…
