  • 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…
