    I did the 30 Day Shred in November. Ever single day, and there were days I really wanted to quit but I had a friend on here and we had challenged each other to do it so I stuck with it. It paid off big time.

    First off I'd been doing MFP for a while and my loss was slowing down to a crawl. After talking to several people and a nutritionist I discovered I had been starving myself by only eating the minimum (1200 calories) and over doing my cardio (by a lot). So as I was doing the Shred I actually had to spend the first almost 2 weeks of the month doing what's called a re-feed. :grumble: The first week I gained a couple lbs, turns out most people will because of the muscles retaining water to heal. After that I stayed away from the scale until the end of the month. After a nearly 2 week re-feed I went back to deficit eating. When I weighed in at the end of the month I had lost 4 lbs (not too bad considering I was only eating to lose for 2 weeks of the month) and had dropped a pants size. I also gained definition in my muscles (I didn't even know I had any :laugh: ).

    It's tough but worth it, enjoy and do your best. Oh, and don't be afraid the swear at the tv.

    I think there will be ALOT of swearing at the Tv! Think i may have to send Little one upstairs with Daddy :laugh:
    Well done on your results though, and thanks for that about the water retention i always wondered why i seem to gain a few pounds when starting out... Not that iv ever kept it up long enough to lose it again...
    But i will this time! :smile:
