Day 11 - 30 Day Shred Level 3 complete. Today was weigh in day and for the second week in a row, I have gained. :sad: I'm just not for sure what is going on. I joined MFP over 4 months ago, and have lost every week (or at least maintained) until the last two weeks. I am now within 14 lbs of my goal, and I knew it would be harder coming off but I didnt expect to start gaining! Any advice would be great!0

You could be building muscle. It weighs more than fat. It's not uncommon when people strength train to actually gain weight but lose inches and firm up all over. You have to go by how you look and feel rather than by the scale sometimes.0 -
well I did level 2 of the shred again and I find it quite odd in that the abs and cardio are a doddle, but 2 of the 3 circuits strngeth bits completely kill me! I was originally plannign to do it twice but just couldn't. I think if I'm feeling brave I will try and do it again tonight as I have eaten some cookies (:blushing: ) and really need the cals!! NMTZ for me tomorrow...0

Oh I feel for you. Do you take measurements as well as weighing yourself? If your measurements are not going down I would say something is up. Have you maybe not drunk enough water? Or is it TOM?
I am still quite a bit off my goal weight so have not read that much about the last pounds but I know here are many threads covering that. I think though that I have read that once you're closer to goal you might have to increase your calories so your body knows it is ok to use the fat reserve as it still gets enough calories. I have also read that the loss will slow down to about 0.5 - 1.0lbs per week. Maybe try and search for posts here that cover the subject or post a new topic asking for advise...
I am sorry I can't help you more but don't get discourage. I am sure the weight will start to go down again soon!0 -
Day 3 done! Today was NMTZ. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think I enjoy the weight work more than the cardio based stuff. Yes, I think I like this a lot better than BFBM.0

I drank a bottle of wine last night and now I have to do BFBM...funny, how I like this one better the NMTZ0 -
I think I like NMTZ better because there's less jumping around. The first 4 circuits are pretty intense but then the last 3 went by fast because it was all mat work and I felt that I wasn't working as hard(even though I was sweating good and burning all over). But with BFBM she has you moving the entire time and by then I am just burnt out.0

Day 10 done! Hurray! One 3rd is done! And my weigh in went well. I lost just over 2lbs and 2.5 inches. I am glad as I was really nervous!
Today it was quick NMTZ. I did pretty well. It was the first time I could do the surrender ones with the weights. Before I always just held my arms up and this already hurt. I felt much stronger in my arms today. I was dripping with sweat though. I too like NMTZ!
I did take some before and 10 day after pictures and I can really see a difference in myself. Can't wait to see what the next 10 days will bring! Let's hope it'll all go well!
Have a great day everyone!

I'm taking a rest today. My body is so sore from NMTZ! I feel that I need a recovery before jumping back into Level 1 of ripped in 30 again.0
-
Day 12 BFBM done! I remembered now why I dont like this one. I hate Burpees and standing mountain climbers! So ready for NMTZ's tomorrow.
Thanks for the suggestions on getting my weight loss going again. I think I have been really lazy in drinking my water, so I am going to start there and make sure I get in plenty of water!! Everyone have a great Thursday!0 -

I hear ya!! I, too, was so sore the next day. You really get a great workout with this one!0 -
Well done on the surrenders daisy :drinker: I too managed to make it through all of them without dropping the weights (just!) so it is nice to start to see some progress.
susanjackson - enjoy NMTZ tomorrow! I enjoyed it much more this time than I did the first time, though some of the circuits are incredibly hard - circuit 2 and whichever one it is with Saleema at the front with looooooooooads of plank work spring to mind! I'm not at all surprised you are having a rest tomorrow idauria!
I have the 30DS tomorrow, I think I will try level 3 if I'm feeling brave!!0 -

Ooh, that sounds promising! I was looking at what's coming up on the schedule and noticed that later we have to do level 3 followed by level 2 (or 2 followed by 1) that should be, um, interesting!!0 -

And me too!!0 -
Day 13 NMTZ's done! Feeling good this morning!:happy: We will be out of town all weekend, so I may have to pick up on Monday with Day 14. I plan on adding 6 Weeks 6 Packs Level 2 into the mix next week, somewhere! Everyone have a great Friday and a great weekend.0
-
Day 4 done! I did Ripped in 30 level 1 again. I think I like this better than the shred. Oh and I used my new HRM. I bought the Polar ft4 that so many people recommended on here. It worked great! It told me I burned 204 cals.0

Hi all!
Day 12 done BFBM! Oh god it was hard! Although I did much better then when I did it first time around. I don't really dislike it, I think I kind of like it but I am glad I don't have to do it again for a week :happy:
It is a great time at the moment as we are so close to the half way point and I find it very motivating and then it is only 5 days till the 20 day mark. And then the big finale! The last 10 days look hard! I will be going away the weekend after the next. Luckily the Friday is a rest day anyway as this is the day where we'll be travelling up north. I will try my best to get exercise in...We'll see!
Great to see that everyone is still going strong! Almost half way now ladies :drinker:0 -
I wish I was halfway through but I'll get there. I am going away next weekend for my sister's wedding and I won't be able to bring the DVD and weights with me so I will be missing 4 days. I should be well rested though when I resume!0

I am procrastining with the QTZ...good job to all that have stayed on track!!!0

Y'all are doing SO fantastic! I hope you don't mind that I keep posting here, even tho I am finished with my 30 days... it helps to have people to share the journey with!
Well yesterday I woke up sick (actually was sick all through the night before with a sore throat)... so I haven't done as well as I wanted.
Yesterday I was wanting to do level 2 and 3 of the shred, plus cardio. I did manage to do level 2 of the shred before work and some cardio on lunch (2 mile walk away the pounds... low impact and didn't bother me being sick since no jumping)
Today I was wanting to do yoga and an hour of zumba (before I got sick). This morning I said I wasn't going to do any workout today... but I did end up doing another 2 mile walk away the pounds... so better than nothing.
Tomorrow I am/was planning on going to a theme park for the day... so it is my day "off". Off being that I am not doing specific intense exercise, but if I am able to go I will be walking 5+ hours... so def still being active.
Hope I can kick this bug and be back at it on Sunday... I want to move up to the next yoga level and do some more intense cardio!0 -
idauria - over 200 cals burnt in just 20 mins is really great, ripped in 30 is def high on my list of the next DVD to get, though I ordered a new one yesterday (a Davina box set which should keep me going for a while: a one hour workout, and then 3 30 minute ones) so it may be a while
Tiffany - sorry to hear you were sick yesterday, hope you are better today :flowerforyou:
I did level 3 of the 30 DS yesterday, I really felt the first circuit as my thighs were still a little sore from NMTZ the day before. I managed it twice though adn def enjoyed it more than level 2 - not sure if its easier but if you're enjoying it it goes quicker! I think my issue with level 2 is that very first strength exercise in circuit 1 where you squat as low as you can and then do a shoulder press type thing absolutely kills me, so I am thinking I might have another look at it and practice doing it - with no weights, then 1 lb then 3 lb etc. I think the rest of it is fine. I really enjoyed the travelling pressup on circuit 3 and think it will be good for building my ability to do press ups etc full length.
Did BFBM this morning, finally finished without missing a single jump - at last, I must have had it at least 2 months!! Need to find out what tomorrow is, but guessing 30DS...0 -
Well done shoppie! I don't think I could do level 3 twice in one day. I like the traveling push ups too, they are hard and it hurts, but in a good way. My back, chest, and shoulders feel really strong after that set. My issue with level 2 is those darn chair squats with the V fly. Killers! I also don't care for the oblique twists. For some reason they bug me. Today is BFBM for me. I haven't done it in a while, since before I hurt my back a few months ago so we'll see if I can get through the whole thing. I might have to modify and work my way up. I'll let you know how I made out.0
-
that;s the one I hate idauria, the chair squat with v fly I just didn't know its proper name! :laugh: Good luck with BFBM x0
