I've started taking progress pics.. I will post all my pics when I reach my first goal around xmas: 165 pounds :)

wow that's awesome! you're doing great!  you've just motivated/inspired me too which is good cause i've been slacking A LOT these past couple weeks.  i think i'm going to make a chart like yours cause it's really good to see the progress overall, especially when there are those weeks when you don't lose any pounds or inches.  

question... the NMTZ dvd is all cardio or a combination of cardio and weights?  i have the shred but i'm looking for a new cardio dvd for when i can't make it to the gym.

Do the "boost metabolism" video.. it's SUPER cardio and hard... the NMTZ is more weights than cardio...

Yay for motivation!  :D :D

great job!!!

That's so amazing! Congrats and keep it up!

Congrats girl! You are doing great, you are an inspiration to me! I felt well enough to do the shred video again tonight. I was so surprised how much easier it was the second time!

How are you tracking how much you burn with the Jillian videos? And are you using a website to keep track of your net intake?

Leslie- yeah I use LiveStrong.com to track calories, workouts, etc.  I've been kinda "wingin" it with the workout burned calories, using Sparkpeople and calories per hour and Livestrong to "estimate" my calories for workouts.  I don't have a heart rate monitor yet....

For the jillian michaels videos, i'm using "circuit training- aerobic, min rest" for the calories burned... I know it's probably not UBER accurate, but that's all I have now to go on.
