Awesome! I have it as well, but have only done it a couple times (not 30 days in a row as intended). It's a good workout! Short, but intense. Jillian doesn't play around. I'll probably be doing it today, since the impending snowstorm will likely make it impossible to get to the gym tonight after work.
In other news, I was 192.8 this morning. Up .6. I suppose I should be used to this by now.
Yeah, that appeals! I can't be bothered with any fannying about, just 20 minutes and I'm done (or possibly dead ). I really can't find any excuses then, can I?
Oh, 192.8... I want to know what that feels like! Is it me, or are the 190s cursed for loads of people stalling? I started Feb at 201, and ended it at... 201. Frustrating! Had a great NSV yesterday though, a shirt I could only get my arm halfway into, I can now get on, and do up! Ok, I can't wear it in public yet... But it's on! Even though my weight and measurements have stayed the same. Go figure.
I was stressed out today and sad and ate some bad things I can already see that I gained some since I gain soon as anything besides a fruit or veggie touches my lips but I didnt eat a whole ton or anything had one chocolate heart a serving of pringles little bit of sunflower seeds and some popcorn that was popped in butter though >.< I didnt weigh myself today dont think I will now lol but yeah oh well ill make up for it in the next few days I'm done with my binge fest. keep up the good work guys we'll get outta here soon!!
192.8 today... 192 makes it seem like I'm close to getting out of here! I have a trip coming up and I leave a week from Thursday. My goal is to get to 190 by then, so I can gain a few pounds while I'm away and then come back and lose them :P
That wasn't the end of my binge I guess so ill be paying for this for a while guys.
Really wish I was dead with all the loose skin I have I'm a monster now anyway don't know why I'm even trying to do this that's what made me binge just looking at myself. I'm tired of it all. Not giving up just tired of everything.
Congrats underwater your real close woohoo
Keep it up everybody

Going2bskinny - I can completely understand where you are coming from. You have come so far already, of course you are going to get tired of it once in a while. Key is to not give up and keep moving forward. Even with baby steps.
I am not very pleased with what I see in the mirror these days myself, but I just make a point of waiting until I am dressed before I look. Plus - we can always have surgery to get rid of that skin.
Keep the faith lady and know that this too shall pass.
I am so DONE with the 190s. Seriously! I was so excited to get down to onederland, and now that I've been floating about in the 190s for over a month, I'm ready to move on! I was 192.4 this morning. 189 seems so close, yet so far away. Sigh. We'll get through this.

Sorry you're feeling down. Loose skin is awful (I have it as well, and I'd guess that plenty of others here do too), but it's also a mark of how far you've come. Keep it up! You can always have it removed later on.
193.4 today. It is killing me. every other month I have managed to lose at least 12 pounds, so I kept moving down a decade a month. I started Feb 1st at 201. Here it is March 6th and I am lucky I am at 193.4. what is with that?
Like you Allie, I am sooooo ready to be done with the 190s. I feel like eveything is on hold or in a permanent stall. It does help a bit to know that is isn't just me. Perhaps our bodies need to rest a bit? I don't know.
I feel your pain, Kat! I was losing so quickly until I hit the 190s, and now I'm lucky if I just maintain. The worst part is that I haven't relaxed with my eating and I exercise more now than I ever have in the past. I'm even MORE motivated to lose, since the end result is actually starting to look achievable. I wish my body would cooperate!
I was at 192.6 this morning, up another .2. I have no idea why. I chugged my water all day, burned 600 calories at the gym last night, and while I ate some of my "earned" exercise calories, I still ended up netting under 800 for the day. How on earth can I not be losing?
197. My trousers are looser. I feel like I'm about to break through my plateau... We'll see! I am sick of the 190s, and I want outta here! Far too dangerously close to the 200s for my liking, and I had a hard enough time getting past that. Realised yesterday I am afraid to be thin. So i'm trying to keep calm, keeping an eye on what I'm eating (though not straying from IE - for me that'd be a binge-filled, obsessive dieting disaster zone).
Feeling the fear and doing it anyway! I am not staying at this weight for ANOTHER month! I am soooo hanging the banner out when I get to 195.
thanks shiv and kat and allie I really hope insurance pays for it because I know I can't afford it, that worries me as well. Sorry for my mope fest, I'm feeling better now and ready to pick up where I left off. It was moment of truth this morning, I weighed myself. I'm at 195 today again some is still water weight I can tell but that's my new starting point from now. No matter what happens I'm never giving up that's for sure, I didn't come this far to stop now, and also the most thing I want to see is if my skin tightens up once I have all the weight off and get really ripped so that drives me to continue.
congrats everyone on the losses you are all so close I still feel pretty close myself woohoo glad the starting weight wasn't even higher.
congrats thnkn cant wait till you get here keep it up

Come to the dark side! Contrary to popular belief, we do not have cookies
Going2bskinny, keep at it! You know you're doing the right thing, and if you do need to deal with the insurance, you'll be able to, when you need to *hugs*
Hey, I just joined the 5lb challenge & the 4 month summer WL challenge if anyone wants to join in? I thought the 5lb would be perfect as well to get me concentrating on the SMALLER picture and powering through the 190s
