    Don't be discouraged at all!!! This program WORKS, WORKS AND WORKS. I've tried everything under the sun and this is the first time anything has really worked easily and I don't have to take any supplements, participate in any bull**** or start cooking food in a manner to which I'm not acustom. YOU DO NEED TO WORK OUT. I have been doing this since Jan 1st, it's only been 14 days and I've lost 6lbs. The first lb didn't come off until day 5 or 6, but the rest have been following nicely. I eat pretty much what I want, though I do tend to always make healthy choices (mines all about portion control). I log on at the beginning of each day and complete food portion, this way I'm sure to stay within my limits. I go back in at the end of the day and make any changes. Most of the time I'm within my calorie limit and on occassion a few calories over. I do any kind of exercise I can fit in that day. Sometimes I go to the gym (I only spend 30 minutes there, I chose either cardio, or just arms or just legs), sometimes I can't get to the gym so I stretch at home for 15-20 minutes or take the dog for a 20 minute walk. Some days I just can't fit it, but I don't beat myself up about it, that's life. I'm focused on this though and if you remain focused it will work. I have always been heavy, one other time in my life I lost 125lbs in a little over a year doing karate and eating only once per day. It took many, many years but it found its way back on my body. I tried other things and it was hard getting the lbs off, but this thing is beautiful....so convenient, so simple.....IT'S ALL PHYSICS AND SCIENCE. IF THE ENERGY OUT IS GREATER THAN THE ENERGY IN, YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT....Good Luck, you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I haven't done the 30 Day Shred but I'm planning on purchasing it soon as people seem to be getting great results with it.

    I found the 30 Day Shred DVD at Target for $9 just last week. If you want it, I think that's a pretty good price for it.

    RE: OP motivation
    Try something entirely different. Shock your body with a really different type of workout for a couple of day. Try a martial arts class or some extended walks in the outdoors (yes - I know it's winter here in the US/Northern Hemisphere - but the cool temps may help you burn some cals). Try some meditation, focusing on intention --- "I intended to lose 10 lbs. by the time I leave for Europe" - and some visualization of how happy and cheerful you'll be on your trip in the new, leaner, trimmer you.

    (Not trying to promote sunshine & rainbows here. I just happen to think that visualization/intention help.)

    Thanks for the heads up! :)

    Sorry...I'm not doing any 30 day shred (shed)...I'm just doing the myfitness pal login and keeping track of calories. Anything else is all a gimmick. Save your money and your aggravation and just work out and keep close track of what and how much you put in your mouth!!!

    I agree with the measuring part. I have not been losing as quick as I want lately but yesterday, jeans that were very fitted 2 weeks ago were really baggy. So even tho the scale has not bugged, something redistributed. I think that is worth feeling good about and knowing that the direction is still the same. I feel like hiding my scale too!

    The 30 day shred is a workout.

    Just know that slow weight loss is the best, The faster you drop weight the more chance you have of it coming back on. Make sure you are not drinking to much water, you could be bloating yourself. Also make sure your calories are nutrionist and that you are actually eating your daily calorie limit, eating less does not make you lose weight. Also stop getting on the scale daily, your weight flucuates on a daily basis getting on the scale daily will drive you crazy! Believe me, i have done it.

    10-12 lbs in 2 months is totally reachable. I lost 10 lbs during 30DS too, so you don't have to sweat over it. Keep a food journal as well, it will help a lot. Other than that, just stick to what Jillian is giving you, first 3 days in easy mode, and then transfer eventually to hard mode and you will reach your target before you knew it.

    Exactly what and when are you eating. Maybe an experienced and successful FitPal can preview it for you. Go to diary set up and allow your food diary to be viewed by a "friend." Just a suggestion.

    This is why you aren't losing weight then. Try changing to .5 per week so that your body will let go of the calories you're eating now. The less you weigh the more you have to eat.

    Hey Guys,

    I had a few people asking to post my deit to see what I am eating and if i am eating the right things. Please take a look. And tell me what you think. I would love your feed back.

    For those of you who are just reading this, I am 5'9 Weight about 178-180 up and down i want to be around 165-167 ish before I leave to Europe in March. I am doing JIllian Michaels 30 shred i'm on day 4. Havent had much results yet. I carry most my weight in my mid section. Got some pretty amazing people help me out yesterday.

    I am staying away from the scale now and did my measurments today.Please tell me if I am doing anything wrong, and if there is food I should stay away from.

    Thanks Again!!

    just took at peek at your food log - do you log everything you eat? if so, youre undereating by a lot! you want to net at LEAST 1200 - but as close to 1530 as possible. i know it sounds weird, but you have to eat more. you have to have enough to fuel your body or it will hold onto everything and not let go.
