I'm still here and sticking to the program-- I just forget to post in here! Sorry! I even made the group and I'm slacking! I'm also in the middle of an out-of-state move, so I'm pretty crazy busy :-/ It's all I can do to just get the workouts in (but I am!)

I SO did not want to work out today-- I had some really disappointing news and I could have just said "eff it" but instead I decided to take out my disappointment on the workout!

I ate very clean and stayed close to 1200 net calories per day

I started with Cardio instead of Lower Focus, but I got them both done!

I had to modify most of it today-- I just tried to keep thinking "Doing anything is more than doing nothing" and "I can't wait to see how much more I can do by the end of the 5 weeks!"

I loved the boxing parts and the stretching thrown in there! I detest burpees, but I did them all! I have a Fitbit and normally just let it adjust my calories for me, but it is way underestimating the burn from my HRM-- any suggestions on how I should handle it?

Meeeeee too!

I was huffing and puffing along the whole time, and did about half and half real and modifications. It depended on the move-- for anything lunging or squatting, I couldn't do the plyometric part of it. HRM said I burned over 300 calories in he 25 minutes, though! Looking forward to sticking to the program!

More push for me to start NROL4W-- you look great! I'm also at about my goal weight, but I'd love to work on body composition now.

I'm 5'10" and have a medium-large frame. I started at 305lbs and have been maintaining at about 165lbs for almost 8 months.

I'm 5'10" and started at 305 lbs, down 140lbs to my goal weight of 165. I've maintained within 5-10 lbs for almost 8 months now :smile:

Hi-- I'm Megan (28) from Pittsburgh, living in OH :-)

Great job! I followed up the Shred with Ripped in 30 and loved my results!

November 2009 - 305 lbs // February 2013 - 167 lbs

I'm 5'10" and started out at 305, now I'm 164.4-- I hit my goal weight!

I just hit goal!!! Before: 305 Now: 164.4

I am overwhelmed by all the support and congratulations! Thank you so much :-)

Awesome post and even more awesome victory story! Great job! :-D

I did NOT say that! I eat the recommended amount of calories and I DO eat back exercise calories!!!

My results have Before, After 30 Day Shred, and After Ripped in 30: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/512423-pics-before-and-after-2-months-of-jillian-30ds-and-ri30

When I started, I was 65 lbs OVER the listed weight. When I renewed my license, I was exactly what HAD been listed so I didn't change it. Now, I'm 72 lbs UNDER the listed weight!

I have my results posted in this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/512423-pics-before-and-after-2-months-of-jillian-30ds-and-ri30

I did Ripped in 30 for February, so here are my before and after pics:

I'm thinking "Hard Work" on one foot and "Dedication" on the other possibly

Awesome job! I was just thinking that as well-- "I wonder if the people I meet now would ever know that I was over 300 lbs?" I hope the answer is a loud "NO!" :laugh:

Phenomenal job! Way to take your life back into your hands!

I've had issues with my chest strap for the Polar FT7 I have, but the way that it works the best for me is to tighten it even more than I think it might need to be and to have it about 2 inches below my sports bra. Once in a while, it still messes up, but that's how I can get mine to work almost all of the time.
