  • Baby #3 is 4 months old.... I gained 40lbs and still have 15 more to lose. Don't ever use nursing as a way to lose weight!! Some women can lose it with nursing and some, like me, can't. It's almost like my body wants to hold some extra weight while nursing! I've been eating well and Walking daily for the last two months…
  • I'm 5'3"...started at 175lbs and lost 25lbs in about 3 months. Watched what I ate, was on the treadmill and did Jillian videos 4 times/week. I would lose a pound and then gain a pound for three more months after that...it's like my body was stuck. Then I got pregnant! My baby is now 6 weeks old, so I am back at it this…
  • I weighed this morning and have lost 2 lbs...yeah! But I hadn't lost anything for the last 3 weeks, so I was very happy to finally see some movement. I had upped my calories a few weeks ago and they say usually the first week or two you'll gain a pound or two or stay the same, then you'll lose. That's pretty much exactly…
  • So many great breakfasts!!! Thank you all so much for your replies! So many new recipes to try!
  • I'd love to join in as well! I'm the matron of honor in my sister-in-law's on September 15th. I've tried dresses on at David's Bridal and found the one I want, but am not going to order yet! I want to see how much I can lose before needing to get it ordered! Saleslady said absolutely last week to order would be first week…
  • I'm in! So need the motivation! I've been stuck for weeks, and I gained a couple pounds over the holiday as well. I've lost a pound since being home a little over a week and being back onto my regular eating habits. SW: 160 I've also just increased my daily cal intake. I did it a few weeks ago, from 1200 to 1310, now I'm…
  • You look fantastic!! Your waist is shrinking! Thanks for sharing!
  • I'm a 28 year old mom with 2 kids, medium build. I eat about 1300-1350 cal per day. I exercise at least 6 days week. I am currently doing Couch to 5K, which is 3 days/week. When I'm not doing that, I'm power walking at least 30 minutes. I'm also doing Ripped in 30, doing that 5 days/week. Sometimes, I eat some of my…
  • You look fantastic! Great job!! What is Pure Barre? I've never heard of it.
  • So long that I can't remember...middle school probably. I remember being a size 8 in eight grade. I ideally want to be down to a 6, even a 4, if possible!
  • I weighed about 10-15lbs less than him in college and grad school. Since graduating grad school, 5 years ago, he's lost 20 pounds (no longer lifting weights). Hubby has always been lean though, he's 6' and now weighs 156lbs. I actually had him weigh himself a couple weeks ago because I was curious. He's going to do ripped…
  • I started giving this some thought last week. I am going to give up sugar and diet coke...I have a sweet tooth and am totally addicted to diet coke (plus it's taking away from the amount of water I need to be drinking). I'm also going to start the C25K program on Ash Wednesday, I figure it's a good starting point since the…
  • Oh this is a good one...I'd like to see as well! I'm about 5'3", 166lbs and my goal is to get down to 120-125lbs. Please be sure to include all that you did to help lose the weight! Thanks for starting this post!
  • Thank you so much ladies! Very helpful!! I do have a treadmill and a couple of Miss Jillian's videos. I've been power walking on the treadmill, but would like to kick it up and do C25K. I've started 30DS a couple times, but never finished...I need to just stick to it!! Been working on the food, I recently discovered Skinny…
  • Triplets?! Height: 5'3" SW: 175 CW: 169 GW: 120 Age: 28
  • So awesome! Congratulations girl! So inspiring to me, especially since your SW is about the same as mine now (170.2). Thanks so much for posting and keep up your hard work!
  • Weighing in: 168.2lbs The sleep challenge is going to be a tough one for me, but has been something I've wanted to work on for a while! I have always been someone who can stay up way late, but I love the feeling of being up and ready for the day early too! Good luck everyone and good job this last week!
  • Sorry I am late checking in...down 1 lb...so I'm at 170 now. Thank you! Actually quite surprised aswe've had family the last almost 2 weeks and my birthday and then just had my husbands birthday Friday! We have more family coming in the next month to visit, but I'm not too worried, as this group likes and prefers home…
  • Today is L1D4 for me! After the first day I was soo sore! Still sore, but I am keeping at since it seems a majority have said the soreness subsides by day 5. Can't wait for that! In addition to 30DS, I am watching my caloric intake and doing additional 30 minutes of cardio almost everyday. Hoping to see some dramatic…
  • I would love to join! I just started 30 DS, today will be day 4 level 1. I am on my phone now...will post again soon with my stats! Thanks for starting the challenge...this is just what I need to help get me through!
  • I'm 5'3" and my goal is 120lbs. Depending on how I look and feel at 130, I may stay around that, but we'll see! I am really pushing myself to get to these #s! I've told my husband that we can't start trying for baby #3, until I am at least 130, and I am having major baby fever right now!!
  • Awesome job girl! Like others have said, you have helped give me more motivation to keep at the 30DS!! I just finished level 1, day 3...but it's been hard to keep doing it! After Day 1, I was sooo sore!! I've definitely had to push myself the last couple days to do it! I am run/walking on the treadmill everyday, as well!…
  • Count me in! I just joined MFP and am excited to take part in this challenge! I am happily married and have 2 great kids (2.5 years and 8.5 months). After having baby #1, I didn't lose very much of the weight but, after I stopped nursing at about 10 months, I was able to lose about 10 more pounds. Which put me still 10lbs…
