I'm so sorry to hear that, neh02. --- Day 2 done here! 28 to go! :D

Day 1 done for me, too. I'm always surprised by how hard it is even though it's the level I've got the most experience attempting, lol.

Hi, I'm Allie! I'm super excited to have found an October shred group since I just tried and failed at it in September and would love to give it another shot! I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better! Happy October all! :)

Sent you a friend request, I definitely get it. The scale has been jerking me around between 309-312.6 for the last 3 weeks. I'm so close, but yet so far!

Alright, so I walked yesterday and attempted to run a couple times just like I know you're supposed to on the first day of c25k and I can't be doing that until I get some new workout gear, haha. My capris kept sliding off me so that was no good. However, if they had stayed in place I honestly believe that I could have run…

I've been really struggling these past few weeks, but I'm trying to get myself out of this slump now. So goals, I need them! *Walk at least 4 times this week, but strive for every day since that's my only form of exercise right now *Log everything consistently because I got really lazy with logging last week *Try out C25K.…

108 sticks of butter. Goodness that's a lot.

So, my busy week kicked my butt, unfortunately. I did stay on track with my eating though and I broke through my plateau finally. I log my weight every day because I like to see fluctuation so I know my ticker currently says 24 pounds lost, but I hit 27 pounds lost yesterday...putting me at 309 pounds! I'm only 10 away…

I'm sending a request, too! I started MFP at 336.2, down from 360. I'm somewhere in the 311-315 range now. Great job on your loss so far, you should be so proud of yourself! :D

I was just all over the place this week. No real consistency anywhere. I had a birthday & I was sick and apparently as a result I just ate a bunch of junk and tumbled off the wagon. Time to get back on!

I'm late to the party here, but my goals for the week! **Get back on track with my intake. **Get back to walking. **Stop beating myself up over a few bad days. They're logged. It's over. Move on. **Stop trying to hold myself to a specific program that will make me discouraged if I screw it up. Just exercise & stop worrying…

9/7 Check-In: Stay hydrated! (10+ cups of water/day) -- DONE every day! Keep my intake in check. (treats are fine if they fit) -- CHECK (good enough for me!) Walk 10 miles -- 6.33 miles done so far! My real goal is 40 miles in September, so I've got time yet! Do 30DS every day -- 7/7 done! I skipped yesterday, but did it…

That's great that you were able to go to the fitness center! You get all my respect for that, I've yet to be able to drag myself into a gym.

Goals update: Stay hydrated! (10+ cups of water/day) -- CHECK Keep my intake in check. (treats are fine if they fit) -- CHECK (sort of) Walk 10 miles (3.5 done so far) -- 6.33 miles done so far! Do 30DS every day (2/7 so far) -- 5/7 days done! This upcoming weekend and week is going to be rough on me. My birthday is on…

You're all doing so many things to be proud of! Today I'm proud of the fact that even though I didn't want to do anything, I got up and did 30DS. I didn't give it my all, so tomorrow I have to go way hard, but I did it at least.

I'm having a hard time getting my water in lately because I fill myself up on Diet Mountain Dew. I set myself water goals so that I remember to put away the soda and grab some water instead. Well, all that and the fact that my house is under construction and it makes me not want to walk around in all the yuck. updated…

I'll start. i have walked 3.5 miles in 2 days and done 2 days of 30-Day Shred, even though I didn't want to, even though I was tired, even though I would have rather stayed in and ate 12 nutty bars. I also am proud that for the first time in months, I had to stop what I was doing and tie the drawstring on my shorts. I have…

I like places to check in and keep myself accountable so thanks for this thread! My goals for the week: Stay hydrated! (10+ cups of water/day) Keep my intake in check. (treats are fine if they fit) Walk 10 miles (3.5 done so far) Do 30DS every day (2/7 so far) My day was rough, 30DS is kicking my butt, er, more…

Happy to help! :)

I quit cigarettes completely on May 10th, but swapped it for vaping where I've been able to go from a high nicotine strength (36mg) to 0mg nicotine in 3 months and now am trying to taper myself off vaping in general since all I'm really doing now is puffing on flavored water vapor. I'm right there with you! It's hard but…

I actually just pulled up my old "before" measurements from before doing 30DS last October and was able to see where I've really lost from in the past 11 months. I've lost a lot from my upper chest area, underbust, natural waist and upper thighs. The rest has just sort of..stayed where it was, haha.

I just started this morning! Day 1, Level 1 done! I'd love to be added to the group though! :)

I don't rely on comments like this for my validation or to reassure me, but I can still appreciate when it happens because I know how hard I've worked to get there.

There's a lot of success stories, search something like "show me ur 30 day shred results" and "ultimate 30 day shred results" and you'll find the threads. They're truly inspiring. There's also a group, someone above me mentioned. I happen to have just joined it because I'm starting today so I have the link bookmarked:…

I realized a few weeks ago that my personal eating style matched what IF is, so I guess I've been eating this way for years, I was just eating way too many calories before. I work overnights (12am-6am) and find it inconvenient to stop to eat, so I drink water instead, workout for an hour around 6:30am and then sleep until…

A small, achievable goal that I'm working on: Drinking 12-14 8-ounce glasses of water per day. Things that I'm doing that don't allow me to reach that goal: Drinking soda. If I'm filling myself up on Diet Mountain Dew, I'm not interested in drinking more. Things that I will do differently to support my efforts: Only drink…

I'm a really picky eater, too, so I've been upping my portions of things like chicken and egg whites while also trying to experiment with other protein-packed foods. I've found that I hate cottage cheese so much, but that when I add it to egg whites it makes cheesy scrambled eggs that taste nothing like cottage cheese.…

I walked for 15 extra minutes today, before seeing this challenge! Heck yes. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot to get an extra 10 ounces of water and to add 10 minutes to my regular workout. :D

I'm terrible at creating challenges or else I'd be all over it!

I was too tired to post in here yesterday when I got home, but I did all 4 days of the challenge! I only did a 20 minute walk on the 19th, but I did walk for an hour yesterday, so I think it evens out. :)
