No carbs? That would be my guess why you might be hungry. I keep my calories to 1200 a day, but do eat carbs so don't feel hungry on that amount. Having oats for breakfast really holds off my hunger.

Just a question about the 3500 over a week you can gain. Would this figure change depending on your size? I was just thinking it could be less for a smaller person?

I have been using Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and six week six pack. I am happy to the same workouts because they are only quick. If I don't feel like it, I just tell myself in 30 minutes I can be relaxing. I have lost 13kgs and reached my first goal and now on my second goal.

I have Ryvita crisp bread with cheese and tomato. I found it a good substitute for bread. I know if you count the calories in for bread then it is fine, but I found it easier to cut it out. Took my lunch calorie count down so I could have the dinners that I wanted. So I have 4 Ryvita's, 2 slices of cheese (half a slice on…

I just thought I would mention it because I really believe a lot of people do think they are doing the right thing and it may make them think about their own behavior. Im pretty sure I didn't mention anything about it being real... I didn't even mention the 'reality show' genre because I know these shows aren't real (big…

I'm the same height and started at the same weight. At first I lost really quickly. So I started eating 1400 to 1500 on days I exercised and my weight stalled. I have started eating 1200 to 1300 no matter whether I exercised or not and the weight started coming off again. Maybe try not eating back the exercise calories and…

I have got pretty positive responses. Some people at work have mentioned my weight loss, but a lot haven't and I think because they think it might be inappropriate to say anything. My husband and family have been extremely supportive and are really proud of me. And one close friend is great and always congratulating me.…

We have a very similar story...I'm 161cm (5'3) and started out at 69-70 kgs (153 lbs). I lost 9kgs (20 lbs) in the first 5 months and for the last 2 months I have been hovering around 60kg (130-135 lbs) mark. My goal is to get to 55kg (120-125 lbs) as well but finding it really hard to get the rest to shift. I had really…

I have done the six week six pack and loved it. I ended up getting really sick and had to stop working out for 8 weeks, but just started again last night. Love it. Everything hurts! Love that it isn't just an ab workout. How are you going with it?

Oh really? I just found a online calculator, so had no real idea. Well if it isn't that low then that is good news :)

161cms, 59 kgs (goal 56 kgs). Australian size 10 pants and tops anywhere from an 8 to a 14. But mainly a 10.

My TDEE is 1,494. I have an office job and am 5'3" and weigh about 130 (started at 155). So if I want to continue to get to my goal (125) I really have to eat at 1,200. Small but not old, work out 4 times a week. And you can eat and not get hungry on 1200 as well. It is just about making the right choices.

5'3" Starting weight in Feb 2016: 155 (70kgs) Current weight: 130 (59kgs) Goal weight: 122 (55kgs)

I don't obsess about the differences, so it doesn't really matter when I weigh myself. My weight fluctuates a lot, doesn't matter what time of day or if I do it only once a day or whenever. Yesterday morning I weighed myself and I was 62.7kgs then this morning I weighed myself and I was 65.9kgs. I don't worry about it…

Both has helped me, but in the sense of I don't want to eat badly because I have put the effort in to exercise. But my diet was never that bad, so the exercise just really kick started a whole healthy lifestyle. I always feel a bit bad for people who get told exercise won't help you lose weight, I think the focus should…

Hi, I lost 5 kilos in 10 weeks. Not as much as you are after though. I was 69Kgs and my end goal is 57 kgs. Im 5'3 What I did was making sure I didn't go over my calories, but I eat very similar everyday so didn't have trouble with this, even though I don't log. I cut out alcohol and soft drink completely. But the thing…

I have had people telling me there hasn't been enough research on it yet and it made me worried. Does it concern anyone else?

Hi, I have done all the levels and thought 3 was pretty good. Most of it was pretty easy to get through, but I really struggle with the rock star jumps at the end, so am always exhausted when I am done. Are you doing the advanced moves for everything in level 3? If so, maybe doing 2 and 3 back to back. I am now doing 6…

I stopped drinking wine in January. I was a Friday night drinker and had been doing that for more years then I could remember. That would then cause me to be hung over on Saturday and drink huge amounts of soft drink and to eat badly. One day I just decided I didn't want to anymore. The first weekend was hard, but I just…

How long does it take to walk the 15kms a day?

I loved 30 day shred and used it to get back into exercise. I found that it being under 30 minutes a day was motivation enough for me. If I couldn't find the time for that, then I really would just be making excuses. I did it for 30 days straight and even did it once at 10.30pm so I didn't miss a day. Also making it a…

I did it every day for 30 days straight and had no injuries. I haven't seen anywhere where she said that it shouldn't be done every day? Did you have a link where she says every second day? I have now started the six week six pack, which she recommends to do 5 days a week. I have seen where she said to rest one day a week.…

Me too. I have done the 30 day shred and now am doing the 6 week six pack. Then after that it will be Ripped in 30. I have never been so motivated in my life! She really works for me.

I have been doing the Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack DVD (not expecting a 6 pack though :smile: ) She mention that you can't lose belly fat with crunches alone. I think more core strengthening should help.
