Hi yall. I am 3.5 weeks pp with my first though I am 37 years old. Excited to be back on mfp and see people in a similar situation.

You guys are so inspiring! Those are some big wins. One of the best things about this journey is being proud of ourselves, and I think it is really motivating.

Done. Who knew 10 seconds rest was so short?!?!

count me in- never done it and looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.

You can add me. I am totally committed this year!

How did your day go? It was busy at work which is good- better to be busy than bored What did you do for exercise? 30day shred What did you struggle with? Feeling tired What are your wins for the day? Have (finally) realized I could play my own music over workout video which makes the time fly and makes me work harder We…

How did your day go? Good day for staying on track What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! 30DS Level1 Day 3 (only 27 to go- but who's counting?) What did you struggle with? spending too much time sitting in front of the computer What are your wins for the day? Being supportive of boyfriend taking first steps…

Hey all! thanks for doing this challenge. I can't wait to see how we all do. Starting weight is 144.6- I want to be firmly back in the 130s on labor day! How did your day go? Today was good. I am really looking forward to getting back on track! What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I walked the dog in the…

Hi. I hope it is not too late to join. I really need to get back on track. I would like to lose 7lbs this month.

I eat a lot of pre-made salad kits from the grocery at lunch because they are easy. Amy's makes some pretty good frozen meals under 400cals- try the fake meatloaf- yummy comfort food, but watch out for too much sodium. Also check out frozen Indian foods- there are usually some good veg options for something different.

1 glass wine = 150 cal x 3 per night = 450 cal per day x 7 day = 3150 That's almost a pound per week. Cutting back will help a lot, but drinking is fun so I'd try to find a middle ground.

Holy cow! Sneakers for sure! I think there is way too much impact for barefoot- but maybe my feet are just wimpy.

About to do L1D9. Definitely dont want to today but I keep telling myself "its only a 30 day commitment- stick with it!"

So these are old but still make me kick up my workout a bit: Bleed it out- Linkin Park I'm shipping up to Boston- Dropkick Murphys This Aint a Scene- Fall Out Boy

I agree that morning is best. I like the extra boost of energy that a "wake-up-work-out" gives you throughout the day. Plus if you blow it off, then you still have the evening to make it up.

OK- day 2 down. Plan to do some yoga tonight to help with the soreness- I think part of why JM makes me so sore is I need more post-work stretching. Will let you guys know if it helps.

Hi. Started yesterday. I did it last year and it really helped me get on track. SW: 165 CW: 145 GW: 120-125 Just have to remember- it is only a 30day commitment. We got this!

For Desserts http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ I just made the "Better"Finger Bars- boyfriend now thinks I am a magician for making homemade candy bars. I didn't even tell him it was only 115 cals.

Are you only focused on cardio right now? Cardio makes me lose appetite, but I suspect it is a normal fight/flight reaction to running. That said, any weight training makes me feel like I am starving. Per the above post, this hasn't changed for me with weight loss. I do not think the stored energy (aka the extra cookies I…

I've been doing low intensity lately trying to get back on track since I have been in the bad pattern of being motivated Mon-Thurs and falling off the wagon Fri-Sun. I have done 30DS also and recommend it for sure. I found that I love programs with an end-date. It really motivates me to commit to 30 days of this or 60 days…

Sounds like a great group! I have 19lbs for my goal and having the hardest time getting back on track. The threat of spending another summer avoiding bikini's may just do the trick!

I'm in!

Hey there. Sorry about the plateau- how frustrating! I am wondering if your calorie intake goal has adjusted with your weight loss. Mine is set to recalculate every 10 lbs, but it only updated when I log my weight on my phone. For some reason it did not update if I was only logging on a pc. I don't think eating the same…

Holy cow! 2 runs in 1 day! Glad you're in our group of survivors!

Are we counting walking, or does it have to be running? If walking counts, check point met for me. Went for 3mi today, and my ferocious zombie-attacking dog is now having a recovery nap.:yawn:

I did the 20 min at home upper body workout on fitness blender for today's challenge. What are you guys doing?

Count me in! Sounds like fun!

I am so sorry that you have to deal with Fibromyalgia but the smaller goals sound like a great idea. I can completely understand about not having enough time and energy due to work as I run into the same issue myself. Have you considered a "wake-up workout"? I know-"ugh"- but even a few minutes of stretching and light…

This challenge is great. I've never done ww but these rules seem do-able. I am not that far from my goal but keep slipping lately so this will be prefect to help get back on track.

I was surprised to find how much kick boxing works your abs. Maybe worth giving one of the cardio kickboxing or MMA-style workouts a spin next time you're on youtube. Can't spot-reduce of course, but pilates and plank exercises like mountain climbers can help build your core muscles.
