Girl meets fitness. Girl falls in love. Girl loses fitness. Girl gets fitness back.
All right, here goes. I'm a little embarrassed about all this, but I want to get the info out into the world. If you don't know me, you don't know I used to be obese, and then I went on a two-year-long weight-loss spree, losing over 100 pounds. Here's a link to my original success story if you want to read about the person…

Questions or Comments About the Program
Hey guys! Feel free to post any questions or comments about the program in this space. This could be a space for us to talk about our victories and frustrations. I'll probably talk about how Jillian is trying to kill me!

Hello :)
Hi everyone, I live about an hour from Columbus. I've been on MFP since around 2010, I think. I recently gained some of my weight back due to chronic illness and am working hard to lose it. Feel free to add me!

Shred it with Weights
Ok, so tomorrow is supposed to be Shred it with Weights. However, if you are not familiar with kettlebell workouts, this might not be for you. Jillian's kettlebell form is...not entirely correct. Her one-handed swings are more of a squat, and snatches (yes I know, hilarious) look nothing like the ones in this workout. If…

Challenge for November 18th
Monday and Wednesday are my 10-hour work days. I find it hard to exercise when I get home, and my boyfriend works a different shift so I don't want to do a long, loud workout in the morning, because it would wake him. On Monday, even after my long day, I did Level 1 of 30DS, but for the entire beginning of the day, my…

Before and After
This will be where we post our Before after stats and/or pictures. You don't have to post here, but feel free. I'll post later when I've taken a picture, but here is what I think we should do: First name: Location: (You don't have to be too specific. For instance, I will just say "Ohio") Weight: (If you feel comfortable…

Back and ready to get back to it!
Hi everyone, I used to use MFP. I ended up losing 110 pounds at one point, and I was able to maintain my weight for a few years after that. Then, however, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and my world turned upside down. I lost a ton of weight and my hair fell out. Then, when my medication changed and I started…

Reintroduction
Hi everyone. My name is Isabella. I used to be very active on MFP (back in 2009-2011). I have recently put on some of the weight I had lost, so I am reappearing in order to lose this weight and get back into shape. I'm restarting my vlog and blog. I actually made a new video today. You can see it here:…

100 Pounds down, with pics
Ok, I wasn't going to do this until I have a flat belly, but that's not going to happen any time soon, so I thought I'd celebrate my 100 pounds lost with a forum post! I started in June/July of 2009, after seeing this picture: mecrop by AlmostFreeToBe, on Flickr This was the previous New Year's Eve: (sorry it's so small. I…

Comparison pics: 2008/2011
Well, this is just for fun, as I've already posted a success story and I've already posted these pictures in my most recent blog. Anyway, I'm hoping this will inspire someone to do something good for him/herself. 2008: isthisme2 by AlmostFreeToBe, on Flickr 2011: DSCF1448 by AlmostFreeToBe, on Flickr I'm far from perfect,…

Berkshire Workout Pals
Hi, just wondering if anyone in the Berkshire area would like to work out with me! I'd love a running partner, or maybe we could do a class together, or go cycling. I used to love working out on my own but now that I'm in maintenance, I'd like to try something new. If you feel weird posting in the forums, you can just…

ChaLean Anybody?
Hi, just wondering if anyone's recently started ChaLEAN Extreme. I started it this week and wanted a buddy! I saw that there was a group that started at the end of May, but I feel like I'd be too far behind for that one. Anyway, off to bed!

What do you think about....
Zuzana from http://www.bodyrock.tv/ ? Is she sexy or scary? I'm curious, because I posted a status update about a quick workout on her site, and one of my MFP pals said that she has a horrible body and should stop doing "guys' exercises." I find it strange that it seemed socially acceptable to her to say a woman with…

45 Days of Jillian (Buff by Christmas!)
Hi, everyone. Well, this is sort of abrupt, but yesterday I figured out we have 45 days until Christmas, and I have set up a little exercise challenge for myself and anyone who wants to join me on this. I'll start with 15 days of the 30 day shred ( 5 days of each level) and then do the 30-day slimdown challenge I did as a…

Introduction
Hello, everyone. I have just started to use this site today. Previously, I was using a U.S. based site, which was very good and even tracked my percentage of fruits and vegetables a day, but since I have moved to the U.K., there are some foods I couldn't find there. I have started using this because it will be more…
