I had great progress with it. I posted my pics last week. Good Luck and keep up the awesome work. Dana

I signed up for MFP in May. But didn't get really serious about exercising or logging until the end of June. I feel like its going slow but I feel like if I do it the right way it will stay off. I had my goals set at a pound a week and thats pretty much what I have done. Some weeks I have gained but the next week I usually…

I felt like that before and found out I had hypoglycemia. So I have to eat often or my blood sugar drops too low. Hope you feel better.

OMG! Awesome job. Thats great progress in 4 months. Congrats.

Its a 27 min workout DVD from Jillian Michaels. It consists of a warm up then 3 circuits of 3 mins of strength/2 mins of cardio/1 min of abs. Then a short cool down. You start on Level 1 and work your way up to Level 3. Its tough but worth it. I think its at Walmart or Amazon for about $9. Also if you have On Demand or…

Thanks! I would definitely recommend it. Great job on starting it. Take measurements, because you will notice inches alot more than lbs in the beginning. Good Luck.

We use the iron gym. However I still can't do a real chin up, so I use the chair like he shows how to modify in the DVD or I use resistance bands and hook them over the bar.

Awesome job. I have a love/hate relationship with Jillian. I can't beleive thats after 7 days! Keep up the awesome work and remember "This is a 20 minute workout people, don't phone it in!" :) Dana

Welcome! I love the skinnytaste.com website. She has great recipes and it feels like you're endulging. :) As far as exercise I started with the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD. It's tough but totally worth the results. Good Luck! Dana

Thanks everyone. I started doing 30 DS at lunch. So I would do it 5 days a week and then try to do a little something on the weekends. It probably took me a little more than the 30 days. I lost the first 10 lbs and about 18 inches doing that. Afterwards I did Slim n 6 but the results were not as fast for me. Now I am…

Agreed. Very slow, lots of people out. No emails no phone calls. Next week should be loads of fun :) Dana

You look awesome! The black cut out dress is definitely hot! Congrats on your loss. Dana

I am 5'6 and started at 178.4. Currently at 158.4. My goal was originally set at 150. But I may revisit when I get there. Still have some work to do on toning esp in my legs and butt. First time posting pics so hope this works Dana ]

Have you used the recipes tab before? I just found it recently and love it! Under the food tab, click on recipes, and add new recipes. You can put in all your ingriedients and how many people it serves, then it calculates for you. You can save it and add a serving to your diary. I have been entering all my go to recipes…

Wow! What a transformation! Love the dress too. Keep up the good work. You got this. Dana

Check this out. A tutorial with pics on how to prepare. I love this site. She has some great recipes too. http://www.dashingdish.com/2011/03/how-to-make-spaghetti-squash/ Dana

Here is one. I love her website. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/02/lighter-buffalo-chicken-dip.html Dana

That's awesome! Congrats and keep up the good work.

Me too. I don't do it everyday about three days a week, with pilates and other stuff in between. I am starting Level 3 today but already down 11 lbs and 15 inches. I have noticed alot of toning and muscle definition starting.

I'm a so sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family are able to find strength in this difficult time. She sounds like she was a real inspiration.

I love Cheddars! I ALWAYS get Tilapia with Mango salsa/green beans/house salad w/ vinagrette. The fish comes over a rice pilaf so I try not to eat much of that and it's so much food I usually only eat half anyway. I know I logged it before, but I think I had to use some generic items in the database. Figured it was close.…

I too was in a very unhealthy relationship for over 8 years. Been out of it awhile. You look great. I can definitely see the definition in your upper abs. I am switching to Level 2 on 30ds tomorrow. Wish me luck :) Wishing you much success on your continued journey. Dana

I had one on Saturday for the first time and it was just chicken, tortilla and lettuce and tomato. So I am assuming since it came that way straight from the menu, thats 150 calories. Cheese and sour cream would def. be more.

I was on here 3 weeks or so before I lost anything. I didn't start notcing until I added weights/strength training to my routines. I also measure periodically, because that helps when I don't see the scale moving. Good luck, just keep it up. I always have to tell myself slow and steady wins the race. :)

Great post! That's awesome. Keep up the good work. I have some clothes in my closet with tags on that I can't wait to get into. Thanks for the inspiration.

My two girlfriends just used it at the beginning of June and rented a room in Brooklyn on their trip to NYC. They got a nice brownstone for cheap and didn't have any problems. I know she put a positive review on the website.

Wow! That is awesome.

I like this blog. She gives tons of recipes with Weight Watcher points and Nutritional info. I am sure you can find a "lightened up" version of something to take. http://www.skinnytaste.com/
