Nor cal here as well :glasses: always looking for more friends to keep me motivated! Add me if you like!

In the past month I've lost 11lbs, 2.7% body fat. Not sure if that's great, good or just average, but I'm happy with it. I go to the gym 6 days a week, alternate upper and lower body every other day, plus core work and some cardio, usually 15 mins on the treadmill or elliptical. I walk quite a bit at work and although I…

Hello! You can friend me if you'd like! I'm 25, 5'6" and my original goal was to lose about 50 or so. I'm down almost 15 already over the past year, and I just started back up on MFP and going to the gym 6 days a week. I figured it was finally time to make a big change!

Many of us are on MFP because we refuse to continue being fat, and opt for a healthier lifestyle. Working out and eating right is the answer. 5 lbs a week is a little much, to be perfectly honest.. And definitely not healthy.

This, for sure. I noticed my weight fluctuates a lot during the day depending on food, water and working out.. So I only weigh myself first thing in the morning.

Not sure about canceling, but I go to World Gym and don't have a contract so I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult. Ours is running specials for pre-paid years and no contract month to month memberships. Maybe yours is too?

I love this!! Thanks for sharing :smile: You look great!

It is definitely nice to get it out of the way! I still feel a bit self conscious, but then I see the super fit people and can't wait til I look like them!

Thanks!! :smile: I am pretty proud, plus I've dropped almost 2 pounds this week, so that motivates me even more!

Finished up day 5 level 1 tonight, I'm going to try to get up early and do it before work from now on..I find myself way too exhausted at night to put 100% into it! I've been going to a spa for the past few days and sitting in the sauna then doing the Hydration station (steam bath), and working out after that is not fun…

When I did 30DS the first time around I hadn't worked out, or even done much of anything for a LONG time. I was 8 months post partum, and gained 60+lbs during pregnancy, so needless to say, I was far from fit as well. Don't be scared! Jillian has a wonderful way of making you feel at ease (a bit of sarcasm lol) but once…

Lol we say the same thing in my house, he actually cringes when he sees me getting ready to workout with any of her videos. He tried the shred once and couldnt make it through!

Started again today, I'll friend you! Last time I completed the shred I lost 17 pounds and A LOT of inches! I wish I could remember the numbers! I absolutely dread doing the workouts and hearing her voice, so I mute it and listen to music :) I'll be doing each level for about 8 days, my wedding is in 4 weeks so I want to…

Thank you for the support and the add :smile: and congratulations on pushing through those excuses! I also felt great all day, it's amazing what a little sweat can do! i wish my mom was closer, it would be nice to have someone to go work out with! Keep up the great work!

:smile: it's good bonding time, and gives me someone to talk to! plus he's a 5 month old husky so he never lets me slow down too much!

Totally agree with this! Stretch marks are a way to remember carrying a tiny life inside of you. They may fade, but will never go away, so love them for the memories! They may not be pretty, but they are a fact of life.

Just found this group :) I am getting married 11-11-12 in Las Vegas! I would love to lose 25lbs by then, but mainly I want to get myself back on track and stop making excuses!!! Congrats to all of the brides :)

Ugh, I do.. He's naturally tiny, even when he hits the gym and ups his calories he never gets over 140. I think I outweigh him by about 35lbs now :( When we met we weighed exactly the same, but I guess I got a little comfy over 5 years lol

Yay for motivated 2012 brides :) Congrats everyone! Lets kick these jiggles to the curb and rock those dresses!!

Awesome! I'm on day 5 of the shred :) hoping to work into doing ripped in 30 as well so two workouts daily. I tried p90x briefly and found that I enjoyed insanity a bit more. Made it through one week before I had to stop and move my whole house twice in a month! I'd love to go back once I'm in better shape, I love Shaun T…

Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!! I'm getting married in November :) I lost twenty pounds last summer but slacked off during the holidays and gained almost ten back. How much are you trying to lose before your wedding? I'm shooting for 25-30lbs.. What are your plans for getting your perfect wedding body? :)

Day 2 of level 2 done!! I haven't changed my weight on MFP yet since it's not my weigh in day, but I checked this morning and I'm down almost 9 pounds!!! Level 2 makes me sweat a bit more then level 1, but it's nice to be doing something different.. Great job everyone, keep up the good work! It's so awesome to see so many…

I had to grab a calculator, lol the numbers still don't match up!!

You look amazing!! I love love love the bikini!! =)

It kicks mine too!! It's definitely a good workout!!

Level 1 day 8 done - Just wanted to share a bit of motivation.. My scale says I'm down almost 7 pounds this week, since starting the shred. It's also my TOM, and I'm a bit bloated..so I have hope that I've actually lost more!! I think most of it was water weight, but it's gone, so good riddance! Also, people are starting…

You look amazing, thanks for sharing your success with us!! I'm on day 8 of the Shred, and I hope my results are half as good as yours!! I'm doing extra cardio, and a mix of 6 week 6 pack and Insanity cardio abs!

Thank you all for responding! I'm bummed, I'm almost done with my first week of the 30DS and I vowed not to take any days off =( I definitely don't want to undo any of my progress, but I also don't want to cause any problems.. I guess I'll be calling in the morning, and taking a little walk tonight. 3-5 days seems like a…

Day 5 completed today, and it felt so good! I can feel myself getting stronger each day, and I look forward to the burn =) Great job to everyone so far!!!
