    Just because I'm curious... has anyone else put ON weight during this program?

    I'm following my calorie deficit quite closely (except for one day when I ate maintenance calories) and I've been doing the 30DS pretty much every day but I've actually GAINED weight... I'm a little confused about this one.

    Anybody else put on some weight while doing this program? Someone said it's water weight caused by the new muscle tears but I'm not 100% convinced yet...

    It could very well be you building muscle, have you taken measurements? This is where you will notice the most significant difference.

    I did Level 1 Day 2 today (err...technically yesterday). I'd REALLY love a "buddy". Just to talk about it briefly. Day 2 was significantly easier than Day 1.

    What weights do y'all use? I just use the bar from my barbells, and they are 2lbs. Should I up them? My arms are so sore JUST from that! I hope to be able to lift heavier soon.
    I did Level 1 Day 2 yesterday, and yes it was easier! I use 3 lb hand weights, there are some that I could use more and some that I just can't make it through with the weights. Just use what is best for you.

    I am going to start this today, and had a question! How do you guys put this into the exercise portion of MFP?
    Also, has anyone been doing this and running 3-4 times a week? I'm currently running about that much and was wondering if it was doable?

    :happy:

    I am 15 days in. Took measurements last night and there is no change. Same as when I started! This is really weird to me... I've been doing the workout diligently and watching my calories. *sigh* Ah well! I'll keep on trucking on despite these poor results but it is kind of weird.

    Day 6 level 2 delighted with myself. (total day 13) only 17 more to go. I can certainly feel my body changing. Clothes are getting looser. I don't weigh so I don't if I have lost LBS. Plan on moving up to level 3 this weekend.



    Enjoy

    Hi. I am on day 2 of level 3 today (Day 22 overall). Two weeks ago I started adding 3 days of cardio each week followed by some additional ab work. It is very doable! Good luck!

    So, I've just started Level 3 and stupidly I didn't take photos or loads of measurements at the beginning (just a few basic ones) I really wish I had as now I have nothing to compare to!

    Anyway last night I was getting ready to go to bed, wearing a vest top and I happened to yawn and stretch in front of the mirror.

    Well...hello arm muscles! Where on earth did you spring from?!

    I had no muscle tone there before that I can remember so I called in my OH to get his opinion. His actual words?

    "F**king Hell!"

    Cue me pratting about posing in front of the mirror talking about "The Gun Show" and prodding said newly-formed muscles to death! :laugh:

    Exciting!

    7.5 inches is amazing! Great job! You must be so excited.. judging from your profile pic you didn't have much weight to lose.. I bet those 7.5 inches just tightened you up and you look bikini ready! Keep up the good work! :happy: :happy:

    I just started this 3 days ago, I did level 1 and I didn't even break a sweat with 3lb weights. My HRM said I burned 220 calories. So the next day I just went to level 2, I did sweat a little bit, I used 5lb weights, and my HRM said I burned 260 calories. I am 5'7" and 155lbs and pretty fit. I just mainly want the toning. So last night I didn't get to do it because I didn't have time before going to work, so we'll see how day 2 of level 2 goes.

    Finished with Day 14 - almost halfway there. I do zumba 2 to 3 times a week and usually don't do the Shred on those days, due to time restraints. Today though, I did 30 minutes of a zumba dvd plus shred. Burned 450 calories.

    UGH......Okay so on Friday day 22 I pulled a bang muscle in my back. Didnt realize it till a few hours after my workout. So I didnt do it on Saturday or Today :( But today I didnt have to take any meds and it feels good so I will be doing day 23 tomorrow. I was so upset and I think it may have made me retain water cause I am up 3lbs since then. Hopefully since the pain is gone and I am feeling bettter I will see some weigh loss tomorrow. But anyways I didnt fall off the wagon just took 2 rest days and will get back to it tomorrow!!
