    Do you do it every day for 30 days?

    I. Love. This.

    I am a nerd - data points, graphs... Thank you. :)

    Here's my data. I'm just posting it to show you that during 30DS I had a water retention issue because of the sore muscles. This was NOT a plateau, because that water disappeared overnight (lost 2-3 pounds overnight to never see them again). So don't despair, it's normal. Muscles retain water to heal themselves.
    This doesn't only affect weight, but measurements also. Inflamed muscles are bigger, literally, and drive your measurements up.

    I'm confused because the post before this recommends just tracking it as circuit training general. When comparing the 2 ways there's about a 400 cal difference for me.... Any help?

    I'm on day ten of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, I heard how effective it was and I was eager to begin. Today was my first day of level two, and I'm sad to say the inches haven't been coming off. I drink a lot of water, I eat clean 80% of the time and I stay within 1500 calories. It's still early so I'm not going lose hope just yet. I am to scared to weigh myself though.D: I usually have sweat running down my face by the end of the video so I think I am doing it right. I was planning on incorporating two five mile hikes a week and jogging every evening too. Is there any advice you can give? When should I see results? Anything is appreciated.<3

    Keep at it! I am on level 3, 5th day. almost done. I seen difference after level 2 and some inches but not much either. I think I was losing it from my stomach and I had not measured that part. I also notice I lost some from my back (the fat on top of your shoulders). Just keep at it and take your pictures from all angles. you will see a difference by the end.

    The calorie burn for me is not very high. I'm 5'6, 119 and am lucky to burn 130-150 calories. (via Fitbit....which I know mainly tracks the cardio more than the "strength") MFP circuit training burn is too high for 30DS. I would use about 60% of what they give you.

    Don't do exercises that Jilian Micheals does. I actually attended a siminar that she had. Just look at her breasts how saggy they are, and for somebody that does not even have any kids. All her clients (most of them are failures).

    Breast sagginess has nothing to do with anything. It's genetic. Certain workouts can make them SEEM a little perkier, but not make them worse. And people who think the way someone works out makes their boobs saggier are idiots.
