Hey guys-- I'm so sorry for not being around this week, work has been so crazy. It is beginning to look like it will be a really rough couple of weeks, but I am going to try to continue to work towards the challenges each week and I should be able to be more acitve in a few weeks on here. This weeks challenges have had…

Helen- the spreadsheet is amazing!!! I wish that I were that computer savvy. Thank you for doing all the hard work for all of us. Today was a great day did a bunch of walking and my Jillian Michaels. I was able to do all the walking outside in the beautiful weather. Water goal met and Exercise goal met. How was your day?…

Checking in.... water good to go..... exercise not as much. It is getting pretty late and I am falling asleep typing so I think that I will listen to my body and rest, but plan on making up for it tomorrow. Sort of a disappointment, but it is just one day, tomorrow is a new one.

Yesterday met water and exercise. I'm doing JM 30DS so for right now that thirty minutes works out. We will see though hopefully I song take a break. On a side note I am wearing work pant today that haven't felt comfortable for 6 months. :P

I am new to this challenge and am really excited for what these next few months will bring on mfp, but also for life. I love this idea!!!! CW: 193.5 GW: 175 I am pretty sure that I would love to be able to buy a size 14 or 12 outfit for my neice's 1st birthday party, that is the biggest NSV for me. I would also like to be…

I would love to help support. Feel free to add me. It's early in Sept. maybe you can still join a monthly challenge.

I have been doing the shred for 15 days and bought a new scale in the middle of that time. I can completely comiserate with you. You can search 30DS in the forums and see lots of posts regarding the shred, but something I found in most of them is that the weight loss doesn't seem to start happening until late level 2 or…

It could count for either walking, cleaning or weight lifting, maybe. Make sure that you didn't account for it in your lifestyle settings for your profile. I am on my feet working all of the time so I wouldn't be able to use this for exercise because it is already accounted for.

Amazing job..... it is great to have those little reminders!!! :)

I'm loving jello mousse temptations.

When I was worried about motivation I joined a group that had monthly challenge. Each week was a mini challenge and you needed to check in to help with your success. I don't think I hit the ten pound mark that was the goal, but at least it kept me going. :) Good for you making this amazing change in your life.

Hey guys.... I am really excited to see about the next few days. Thanks for all of the inspiration this month. I can't wait until next month.

Nicely done on his part!!!!! You both are doing really well!!!

I have been logging it as 20 minutes circuit training and 5 minutes stretching. But 8 guess a HEM is the best way.

I'm on day ten of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and am noticing a huge difference in my abs. Everyone is different and we can't lose weight on only specific spots, but her combination of stregth carrion and and works for me.

This is a great DVD and for some reason Jillain Michaels makes you want to keep going. Which is a wierd thought as she isn't the nicest trainer. I have only done this one dvd, but apparently she has several that are good.

I guess the frustration was silly..... Scale read 195.5 this morning, which since it is the new scale is pretty good for me. Thanks for the support. Challenge results: Water met everyday Exercise- approx. 30-45min a day except for Monday my rest day Calories under all except for Monday Pretty okay with me for being so sick…

I need to express my frustration with this week. I am committed to logging in and doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, but I feel like catching this end of summer cold has tanked the work that I did the last couple of weeks. So between that and the new scale which gave me four extra pounds after I opened the box, I am…

Tish- thanks for the repost. Hopefully this week won't feel as hard as we come to an end of this months challenge.

Today I learned that even if you want to splurge on your old favorite fast food your workout will remind you why is was a bad idea...

Happy Friday!!! My current weight is 194.3 I am up for the week. Bummer. I hve met all the goals so far this week although today may not make it. I did start the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred three days ago though and suposedly there will be some water wieght gain while pushing so hard. Great job everyone else!!!!

That is an outstanding accomplishment.

@SweetcheeksRN- I hope that you have a good time at Zumba. I have no rythmn either, but have lots of friends who love to do it. Sorry everyone for my rant last night. I know I only have myself to blame.

Sort of checking in but with a little bit of a rant...... this week is kicking my butt!!! I have been able to keep under calories and sodium, but for some reason I am having a hard time with the 45 minutes of exercise. I am a little frustrated with myself about this. I am proud of my ability to keep the calories down with…

This week's challenge has been so much easier for me, but strangely enough I feel like more progress has been made. Is anyone else having this experience. I know that we have all a progressive goal so last week's work is showing this week, but it is sort of taking charge this week. My challenge info is in my signature, but…

Outstanding!

I wrap them in foil with half a jar of salsa and bake at 350degrees for about 40 minutes. I make for amazing flavor and lowerr calories. Oh don't forget to pierce the breast with a fork a couple of times really gets the flavor into the meat as it cooks.
