Ahhh of course I keep forgetting not everyone has a gym right now!! I'm lucky to be in central Europe in a country where numbers are very low so our gyms have been open a while. There's still distancing measures in the gyms and we disinfect everything after use (as we always did before anyway) but it feels nice to be doing…

I just got diagnosed with PCOS and have borderline insulin resistance (I'm not QUITE in the pre-diabetes category) and therefore the docs won't prescribe me metformin. Over the last 6-8 months my weight has gone from 144 - 164 no matter WHAT I do. It's so frustrating. I've tried doing a shake diet, eating healthy, going to…

Hi all! I'm a daily weigh-er and would love to join you (haven't been logging my weight everyday but will start from now! I lost about 40lbs on MFP a few years ago and since put about 25-30 back on. I'm now working on losing 30lbs. My goal by the end of 100 days is 146lbs (overall goal weight is 136lbs) Day 1: Day 2: Day…

Thanks for the encouragement. Yes I do have a food scale and plan to use it all the time haha!

This is really helpful, thank you

Haha, yes I meant simple as in not too much going on and a simple structure!

7 years ago I lost about 42lbs, I've put back on about 30. I am back now to lose them and to keep them off. Wanna be friends? I will be officially logging from Monday :)

It gave me: 1200 at 2lbs a week 1200 at 1.5lbs a week 1330 at 1lb a week

Interesting, when I use the MFP calculator, it says 1200 and I know 1200 calorie diets are disputed. When I set to lose 1lb a week I get 1330, so I'll stick to that + exercise cals. Thank you everyone!

My goal is 121-126lbs. I'm currently 145 and still look really chunky. part of that is that I haven't spent time getting fit before, so I have a fair amount of fat to come off before I can reveal any kind of muscle underneath. I carry quite a bit of weight around my face and legs/hips. My lowest weight ever so far has been…

Press ups are SO hard!! I’m just trying to do as many proper ones as I can (and that’s literally like 2...) then switch to modified. I injured my knee about a year ago and the jumping jacks set it off, so I’m just going to sub butt kicks for jumping jacks. Off to do day 3!

Day 2 done! Still suuuuuper hard today but kept going and didn't pause, just took some mini breaks when I needed it :)

Did day 1 yesterday... remember how hard this is in the beginning. When I've tried the 30DS in the past, I find by day 5/6 I feel more comfortable keeping going. First goal is just to get to day 6!! Will be doing day 2 shortly!

I'm in! I just re-joined MFP after a few years break. I have about 25lbs to lose and am aiming for around 1lb/week. Original starting weight - 178lbs May starting weight - 146.6lbs May goal -141.6lbs Ultimate goal - 121lbs May 1st - 146.6 May 8th - May 15th - May 22nd - May 29th - Total loss for May -

Level 2 is brutal. I did the 30DS (well, about 21 days of it) a few years ago. I WILL finish it this time!!

YES! I just did day 1. Only had to pause once, so happy to have a group of motivators! Is it just me who finds circuit 1 of level 1 the hardest? Circuits 2 and 3 are better, although the side lunges with anterior raises are brutal hah!

Can I join mid-way through and keep seeing you through these 10 day challenges from now on?

I've tried this SO many times in the past. I think the furthest I got was day 18, but I'd really like to commit and finish the whole 30 days! I've been sick the last couple of weeks so plan to start on Monday

I know I'm late but I just started using MFP again and started the starch solution yesterday. I have gone from 178lbs to 136lbs in the past, and have put back on 11lbs in the last year or so. My ultimate goal is 120lbs 5'5.5" / 26 YO Start Weight April 2018: 147.8 LBS Challenge Goal Weight: 135lbs 4/16 -147.8 4/23 4/30 5/7…

Hi everyone, I'm waiting on test results regarding my thyroid (I have a huge family history of Hashimoto's, people born without a thyroid etc...) and get them on the 17th May. I've had my thyroid tested a few times throughout my life and it's always come back on the lower end of normal so no ones ever done anything.…

Well yesterday was recovery, today is power and resistance. I have to say since Tuesday I have STRUGGLED. I don't know whether it's just because I'm generally busy and tired but it's been tough to get through the workouts. Today is actually the first day in a while where I'm actually so busy I'm not sure if I'm going to…

I have p90x3 which I plan on doing straight after insanity, it has the benefit of 30 mins plus more strength training. I'm not sure about month two but I don't feel like insanity is working my arms and abs yet, mostly legs. I've lost 2lbs so far and not really changed measurements. Hopefully I'll get some results!!

Week 2 day 3 done although I STRUGGLED today, I rested more than I did. I have a few theories why... I should have done it in the morning, I waited too late and am tired. I had a really busy on my feet all day work day so was also tired. For the first time in 3 weeks I ate some refined sugar (like 1 piece of cake) and o…
