*New Thread* Jillian's 30 Day Shread Starting Dec 1, 2009

I started the 30 day shred the day before thanksgiving and had to rest for a couple days. I was so sore I couold walk without hurting. No fear though ladies I gave it another shot and the next day NO PAIN! So now I am on day 3 but its cool I can start over.

Just weight myself butt naked (not sure if anyone else does this)-148.0 lbs

I also am on another 30 day shred thread...I stumble upon this one thinking it was my other one. But the ladies at my other one are already almost done and I am just begining plus they aren't doing weight ins.

I'm in if it's ok if I do other stuff as well!!

Starting weight 246.6

I didn't have to buy the video. If you have Comcast On Demand it is free to watch. It is in the Exercise TV section.

I am in. I have to go to Walmart to get the video tomorrow though...Current weight: 131

I'm SO in!! I bought it today and have done my first workout, didn't seem too bad, there were times I was struggling but it wasn't impossible.

My starting weight today was 141.6lbs and I can't wait to see the changes!! I took pics today of front and back views and then each ten days I'm going to weigh in and take pics. I guess I'm a visual person, so that if the scale doesn't move as much as I want I can at least see the changes in my body!


How did everyone else do on the first work out?

Okay....so 3 months ago....when I was in shape, before I got an office job...gained some weight back, AND got out of shape....the workout wouldnt have phased me. Tonight....it KICKED MY BUTT! Anyway....I did it. However....the arm thing does kind of suck since I have to go to the doctor Thursday about my shoulders. Anyway....I feel good....plus it was a bonus workout. I went to the gym after work and did an hour worth of cardio (bike, treadmil, elliptical). I'm going to push myself to do this every night for the 30 days to see if I can do it. I'm challenging myself.

Questions: 1....is it bad to workout cardio at the gym for an hour and then do this video before I go to bed. Is it possible to over do it? 2....how do we do this calorie thing on here. When I enter my exercise, do I HAVE to eat all the extra calories it gives me in order to be able to lose the weight. How does that work since I'm not a nutrition guru. I allow myself 1200 cals a day...and that already seems like so much. Now...if I eat the 1200....then I workout and say....I get an extra 471 calories....do I have to eat that? Also, what if its so late at night. I'm lost. And....on top of that....How many calories should I burn a day in order to lose the weight. My body fat is 26%. UGH! Anyway....any help would help...and hopefully in simple "blonde" terms. haha

alrighttt... I didn't shred last night.. I got home late, my son was sleeping (thats where the dvd player is..in his room) and I didn't wanna wake the lil bugga. Tonight.. I hope.. I have ANOTHER hectic day (work, job interview, dentist, cook, clean) But I am gonna aim for tonight.. although I also have NO motivation.. NONE! My body feels soo weak..

my first work out i was drained!!! i figured i would just do level 1 to see what the dvd was about, but i thought surely i would be up at level 3 the next day. NO WAY!! it def gave me a work out i didnt expect. i just did day 4, it wasnt as bad as the first but im just really sore. i have been doing mostly cardio for past months.

I usually take a 40 minute walk (almost 3 miles) and then do 30 Day Shred, and I feel fine!
DO NOT EAT THE EXTRA CALORIES YOU GET FROM EXERCISING!!! That is going to be your daily calorie deficit. ---Unless you really feel hungry or weak, and feel you NEED a few extra calories....try eating a fruit or a veggie; but if you burn around 500 extra calories per day and MFP gives you 500 extra to eat...that doesn't mean you should eat those....that is where and how you will lose weight ..... I was confused about that at first as well....but I lost 3 lbs. last week (that is great for me!!).

If you aim to burn around 500 calories per day for a week that should equal out to 3500 calories = to 1lb. :]

Good luck! Any more questions just ask....hope I didn't confuse you further!!
