30 and just starting out (again) im at 230# looking to be 175#

Name: April Current Weight: 171.4 Goal Weight: 161.0 Loss so far: 0 Personal Goal - I will NOT allow the holidays to get the better of me!

I see abs!!!! Must be really exciting to see your work pay off!

I feel your pain! None of my perfectly good work shirts are fitting nicely.. they all are too baggy. Like you said I'm not made of money!!! LOL But I'm still happy for the change :)

I'm not even bothering focusing on my abs right now cuz I won't be seeing the results anytime soon anyway! Not to say I don't do ab stuff but I don't focus on it. Like the guys said, I'm working on lowering my bf% first!

I'm so happy for you! It must be so great knowing you are helping your health and have to take less medications. That is amazing!

Post away my friend!!! We all give you permission! LOL

I don't know if someone said this or not but work out more that day. And if you have to work out more the day before. If you like McDonalds then don't cut it out forever; work with it!

I lost ten in the past month following MFP and eating back about half of my exercise calories. You can absolutely do it!

Today I kinda did the same thing. I feel better but the scale went up. So I took out my pictures from a month ago and compared what I look like now in the same outfit. I look good although there is always that voice in your head that tells you you wish you could look better! But still great progress on both our parts!

Make every 5 pounds a celebration! They add up fast. Before you know it you will be at goal. Congrats for taking the first step of the best decision you have made!

I came from Weight Watchers to here!! Save your money!! They will tell you to eat fresh fruits and veggies and stay as natural as possible. Oh and that whole wheat is better than white. This site is free. Let me repeat... FREE! And just like weight watchers you have to track everything that goes in your mouth. Frankly I…

Use the squash like spaghetti noodles. Make a turkey meat sauce and you got a low low calorie meal that tastes amazing

I got mine on amazon.com for $30. Its a basic one but it calculates my calories burned which is what I wanted it for! Mine is a PLYO I believe

Maybe jog in place instead of jumping once you heal. I broke my arm a little bit ago and I started Insanity workouts... when it comes to stuff that bothers my arm I just jog in place. My results are still great!

Thanks guys!!!

You are welcome to add me! And I suggest adding people you see on here that inspire you. I have found that most post comments on my page and send me messages and its really really helpful! If you are willing to just log on everyday and log your food (even if you go over) you will succeed! And I can be there for ya too!

I have completed my first month today and I felt sooo good today doing the workout. I finished it all and had so much energy and really could tell the difference form the first week. The first week I was really really sore. But by the time the second week came I wasn't sore anymore and I haven't been sore since that first…

You are looking great! And your face is SOO much thinner. Keep it up!!

I ran my first one a good while ago. It was straight down a mountain and then right back up. It was a brutal trail run and probably not the best idea for my first 5K. But I did it. Took me 59 min but I did it. And my skinny sister took just as long as I did (and got 3rd for her age group) So I know I wasn't too far off…

Thank you! I was almost getting mad at people dissing her food choices. If she wants fast food go ahead and eat it but make sure its in your calories and drink a TON (at least a gallon) of water everyday to counteract the sodium intake.

I love those too!!! You get a lot stronger a lot faster than you think. And great message to people... stop worrying about the scale and just LOOK at the changes. So positive!

It took my body two weeks to start to see the scale go down. And those two weeks I ate all my calories- including exercise ones- and didn't eat bad foods. I now drink over a gallon of water a day and eat 1/2 to 3/4 of my exercise calories and the weight is coming off. FINALLY!

I'm in

I have to do day 2 of week 3 today. I'm further along but its still nice to have some buddies. I tend to go about this far and stop also. I am not doing to fit tests the round of INSANITY. For whatever reason I'm really excited to finish it this time around. I have a bad tendency to not finish what I start. Add me!!

25!!!!

I just typed basically what you type. But now you clarified your question and I have no idea what your asking LOL. Hope someone else helps ya!!

I just started and will be taking my picture every month. And let me tell you I look TERRIBLE in a bikini right now... but my "after" pictures are going to be great! Keep up the great work and keep on trucking along!

I have been at it for maybe two weeks now and I LOVE IT!! Its a number game for me and it takes out the emotion when it comes to food. Its not hard but maybe for others it is. My test will be over the holidays. Feel free to add me!
