Thank you everyone for your kind words. MFP and the support that is given by its members is such a motivating factor!

No worries. One of my FB friends was confused as well. :)

I'm sure I'll get around to taking a new picture one of these days. I really like the photo that's set as my profile picture only because that is one of the first pictures we took together as a couple. :)

Thank you :) You will get there! You've lost 52 pounds already, that's HUGE! I struggle too.

ROTFL, non taken. I agree 100%

My during photo was taken in a mirror at the gym. :)

Thank you everyone! :)

Awe, thanks! I couldn't help but LOL with your chin comment.

LOL, I'm more willing to wear brighter colors now! Thanks. ;)

Great job! I can't wait until I reach the 100 pound mark.

When I tell people I workout 6 days a week and count calories they don't seem interested either. I stress to people that since I don't have a job, I have made the gym and focusing on nutrition my job. So now when I do work it'll be easier for me to maintain. I always tell them about MFP, I have shown like 4-5 people how to…

If someone I know pretty well says something about my weight loss like "Wow, you look good!" Or "Looking sexy!" (The sexy remark is something I've noticed thrown around a lot in the Filipino community no matter what) I'll come back with "What?! Are you saying I looked like crap before?! I wasn't sexy then? I'm just a…

I wouldn't say that I get embarrassed, more like uncomfortable. If someone notices my hard work and says something I smile and say "Thank you, it's been a lot of hard work." What makes me uncomfortable is when a person keeps going on about my weight loss and then calls someone else over and mentions it to them and they…

Great job! You look great, and younger too!

Here is my before and during. I still have a long way to go. I'm 5'8 and I want to get down to 180 and see how I like it there before I decide to go down more. I want to be curvy but fit.

Thank you for your kind words everyone! Posting this also helps me to stay motivated.

Thank you SO much! I must copy and paste to add to my original post. :) Well never mind, I can't go back and edit it. Oh well. Hope this works for you. Also, awesome change! [/quote]

You look younger!

Thanks for the advice! I have tons of time to workout as well since I have yet to find a job. I think I'll just do the gym first thing after waking up and wait a while to do the shred. I'm waiting until later this evening to hit the gym. I think I should feel good by then. I really want to get this weight off or at least…

Question... When y'all do the 30DS, do you add any other exercises during the day? I am in love with the bike and was planning on doing that after the 30DS, but I am too sore to do it. My legs hurt like a mofo after about an hour of the workout. Also, do you workout straight through with no breaks or do you break it up? I…

Dang! You look freaking awesome!

Level 1, Day 2 completed and I feel beat up! I swear, I am weaker than mouses milk in my upper body. This is my millionth attempt at completing the shred and I am determined since the results are obviously good. I usually stop by day 5 or 6, not this time!

Has anyone just tried doing the weights portion of the video? The cardio part kills my knees, ankles and boobs! I don't like all the jumping up and down. I usually do 2 hours of cardio in the gym and have thought about adding this into my routine just so I can tone up my legs and arms. Thoughts?

All of you ladies look wonderful! I will try and get some pictures posted on this thread soon. Keep up the great work!

I have been a binge eater for what seems like forever. I'm about to come up on my 60th day of binge free! What has helped me is s good support system. I also keep track of the days I don't binge and the day I hit my 60th I am going to reward myself with a slow cooker since I've been wanting on for a long time. I know its…

And this shall be bumped.

That's awesome! Last month mine was 155/101 and totally freaked me out. I totally overhauled my eating and started moving even more and now it's in the 120's/mid 70's.

Thanks everyone! :)

I looked MUCH better in my favorite sun dress and actually liked what I saw in the mirror this morning. :)

I didn't take measurements at the heaviest because I was embarrassed. As for before photos, I did manage to find some pictures from my heaviest and was able to compare my face now to then. I can see a difference! :) I just took some random pictures in the mirror this morning to compare to those I took with the first 15…
