this is difficult when multiple people post. It no longer makes your response relevant to the person above you because they're no longer above you!

progress is maybe mid 20s?

Thank you for that!!

These are my progress pictures. I'm not at my goal yet! August 15, 178lbs. by BlauKristall, on Flickr 1st Progress by BlauKristall, on Flickr Size 10 Pants! 11/25 by BlauKristall, on Flickr

Ok, I've done 30 Day Shred for 11 days now and I don't have those kind of results :-/ ugh. I took a before and after of day one versus day 10 and I look the same!! Guess I'll have to keep going. Congrats on your success!

Ok, what have you been doing so differently than me? I have a goal to lose 40 by December, I started back in August and I've hit a brick wall it feels like! I don't think I'm going to make my goal by then. I'll be lucky to have lost 30 by December now.

I use the recommended 1lb/week. I was changing it up a bit before but I went back to the recommended because I noticed I was slowly majorly on losing.

Wow!! That's awesome! I hope I can achieve what you have!

Well, I'm on the edge between overweight and healthy. I can tell you even if it considers me "healthy", which it doesn't right now according to weight, I believe I'm still overweight. I have a lot of abdominal fat. I've decided to eat more recently and i felt that wasn't doing any good for me. Since last week I've been…

Omg thank goodness! I have taken a before picture and I do keep up with my measuring every two weeks. I just hope like crazy this makes my flaptoids go away!

Same thing happens to me pretty much... I sleep about 8 hours or so and then I wake up like a pop tart in a toaster! I do get to the mid-afternoon time and feel kinda tired though and sometimes I nap.

Awesome! Cute dress! GTI girl, as in you have a VW GTI? If so, I do too! It's bright red and I love it when it isn't having pricey problems :smile:

Don't worry, we all have parts we don't like. I for one dislike my belly area VERY much. I just took a picture of it and all its glory yesterday as a 'before' starting my 30 DS. Most women complain about their butts and thighs but seeing as how my belly looks like a bunch of biscuits I'd rather have the butt and thigh…

I too have been walking as my exercise every day but it's been for about an hour sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I just got the 30 Day Shred through Amazon Video. I did my first workout to it yesterday and this morning I woke up completely sore (which is good because that means I actually worked my butt…

Ok, you've made me feel like a slacker. I started this back in August as well (Aug. 11) and I'm no where near 50 lbs. lost! Ugh... Anyhow, congrats! I like the name of your future book!:laugh:

WOW! Awesome job! Congratulations on finishing! That's a big milestone!

I've had the same post in the past. I too have a sugar issue. It's not that I'm eating unhealthy all the time. I've complained about it a number of times to my boyfriend and he says I shouldn't stress over it. Now, I just try to pay attention to it when I know I've eaten 'bad' food and try to control how much of that I…

My sister is a size 6 now, used to always wear 8 or 10 several years ago when she was in the 150s. She's 5,8'' and 136 lbs. now. A close friend of mine is similar in weight to her, maybe mid 140s or so and she's 5,4'' and wears a size 8. My friend holds her weight in her butt and thighs therefore causing her to wear a…

Get these!!! http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Neckband-Headphones-SHS5200-28/dp/B003CJTR8M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1321058028&sr=1-1 I've gone through two pairs of them (on my second right now) the first pair lasted a good 4 years or so. They're a really good price and have pretty good quality sound. A lot of…

Agreed!! SO lucky to look SO slender at 173!! I looked nothing like that at 173, I'm now at 159 and STILL look nothing like that!

I too have started 30DS this morning. I thought people on here were crazy when they were chatting it up about *how much* they lost when doing this DVD. Now I completely understand how it's possible to lose inches doing this! I've never been one for exercise videos because I'm 'cooridinationally' challenged-- meaning I get…

I just recently learned how to make them! They come out delicious if cooked for a long time in a crock pot. I'm making some right now. Apparently age is a the trick! I did the following: 1 cup dry pinto beans 1 cup dry kidney beans 1 pork hock (wrapped in cheese cloth) 1 tbsp. chili powder White onion (to your liking)…

I LOVE to cook and bake (baking has been cut down on for me since MFP ;-) ) Really, I learned to cook by doing things myself (experimenting) and learning from the Food Network (Alton Brown is my favorite). As far as being healthier about cooking just become more knowledgeable about the kinds of ingredients you're using.…

Bahahaha! Now I'm going to imagine Alot every time someone mistypes it!

Yay! I love taking measurements! I feel they are a better indicator of success. I've been making it a point to measure myself every 2 weeks that way when I feel I've had a 'less' successful loss I have a chance to double check with measuring my progress. Congrats on losing the inches!!! So glad you see the importance of…

Oh wow!!! You have done an amazing job! I'm so glad you were able to realize what needed to be done and did something about it instead of sitting on the side lines. Congrats to your success!

Omg you look awesome! Congrats girl! Keep it up and you'll be there faster than you thought possible!

Hrmm.. perhaps you're correct. Last week I went shopping just to see if I was a 12 yet and when I tried the 12s they fit sort of loose, but I passed it off as eh, I'm a 12 that's nice. I didn't even try a size lower.

Amazing! Congrats on your loss! I see a huge difference in your pictures. Keep it up!
