Hi there, Check this out, it may help:- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/83598-why-you-gain-when-starting-a-new-workout

Wow how awful! Makes you wonder how people get hold of your details and what they could do with them before you find out. I hope you managed to minimise the damage and hopefully the person can be traced via the address that was found.
-
Really pleased to see that some of you are losing. And I'm finding this group so supportive in general, it's really keeping me going. Hopefully I will catch up with the weight loss after the initial few weeks worth of water gain!
-
Good on you and good luck! Main thing to keep in mind is that it's only 25 mins a day so it's not going to take up a huge chunk of time.
-
It would be good to still have a Jillian group! Maybe we could mix and match her dvds and people could still post each day to compare notes and share the pain!
-
It's never too late, we are all at different stages so you're more than welcome! Good luck with it and keep us posted on your progress. I tend to post daily cos it helps me to stay accountable and to let off steam when Jillian has almost killed me. ????
-
That's great and shows it's working! These signs are great for giving you a boost on days you really don't feel like working out.
-
I am half way through the Shred and my weight is up by around 1.5lbs. I did the Shred last year and didn't lose any weight at all but did notice a fair bit of inch loss by the time I finished. It's frustrating because some people seem to be able to lose inches AND weight while doing it, but the main thing is that you're…
-
I would say days 2-5 are a killer in terms of aching - sometimes finding it difficult to sit down! But after that it honestly gets so much more manageable. You still feel it but nowhere near the same level as those first days. I think alternating the Shred with days of cardio (and rest) is something Jillian recommended…
-
That's fantastic, such a noticeable difference in a relatively short time! Nice work!
-
Nothing I wrong with you, you've had an awful week and sometimes priorities are everything but doing a workout DVD! We have all been there. But all is not lost, jump right back on the horse and remember it's just 25 mins of the day that you will feel good about afterwards. You can do this!!
-
That's fab news, well done! I received a compliment from someone at work yesterday about how I look smaller than I used to. I have measured and I've lost an inch off my waist, bust and thighs and even 1/2 inch off each calf. I have big calves so I always measure them in the hope they'll shrink. :laugh:
-
Hooray, that's the spirit! Always nice to move on as you do get bored after a few days doing the same workout. At least you're in the home straight now.
-
Wow I would never do them with 5lb weights either! I use 1.5kg weights which I guess is 3. something pounds an that's enough for me at the moment. :laugh:
-
Doh, why did I not think of that, ty! :laugh: Your whole middle section looks narrower, and you can tell especially in your stomach area. And this is already! Well done and keep up the great work. :smile:
-
I wish this was me, sadly I have another torturous week of L2 ahead of me! I remember last time I did the shred I preferred L3 to L2 so I'd be interested to see what others think.
-
Sorry, I can only see half of your pics and I'm not sure how to help you change it, although I'm sure someone who knows will step in. :smile:
-
I have 17lbs to lose (maximum, maybe less) on the scales but my main goal is regular exercise at the moment as I think that will bring about the changes I want to see more so than the numbers will. I'm starting this by doing the 30ds with a great group of people on here. Good luck and add me if you like. ????
-
I was very sore around days 3-4 of level one. That passed, and I did L2 D2 today and I do ache a bit in some places (different places to L1 too) but not REALLY sore like I experienced back in L1 near the beginning. I guess it's a good thing else we'd struggle to get through it.
-
It's so hard to get out of bed on a cold morning and workout, BUT once you've made the effort you feel pretty smug, right? I know I do - anyone would think I'd ran a marathon not just done a 27 minute workout DVD!! :laugh: Also, I'm kind of looking at it as a group thing now, there's so many great people on here doing this…
-
I also get pain in my right knee and right wrist (lots of jumping and planks sets it off). I try to push through and if necessary do the modifiers rather than the hard version. I think you have to use your own judgement. Take a few seconds in between and modify. Substitute some of the moves if you're really hurting.…
-
Haha I wrestle with that dilemma too!!
-
Hi there, First of all congrats on your progress so far, you're doing great. I don't think many people do 30 consecutive days without having a day off. Sometimes life intervenes and you have to take a day off, sometimes you're just so sore you need the rest. The DVD is called 30 day Shred but weight loss and getting…
-
I'm guessing over the 10 days although it still may not be easy, you are finding you can do more and more each time? I still struggled with the first set of cardio on L1 but I moved on to L2 today as I'd done the first 10 days. L2 is tough but you can do some of the modifiers with Anita if you need to so it's definitely…
-
L2 sure is a tough one isn't it? And when she says she wants us to feel like we're going to die - well congrats Jillian, you got your wish!!
-
Sounds like you're doing great, past the half way mark already! I started L2 today and found it pretty rough, although the first half wasn't so bad, it was the cardio in the last 2 sets that killed me! Keep it up, you must really be feeling the differences now? I am starting to feel certain muscles I forgot I had. :laugh:
-
This happens to me too, I start a new exercise routine and automatically gain 2-3lbs and then struggle to keep motivated to exercise. I'm pushing through it this time and ignoring the scales. http://www.shape.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-strategies/help-why-does-my-workout-cause-weight-gain
-
That's good to hear and makes me feel slightly better about starting L2 tomorrow! Half way through is great, I've only made it to 1/3 of the way but I'm thinking of it as 1 day at a time and they will all add up. Did you find L2 way tougher than L1? I think it's the hardest out of the 3, or it was last year when I did it.
-
Sometimes you need the odd day off. I had Saturday off and got back to it Sunday. The rest did me good as I found on Sunday I did a lot more than I was able to before. I was kind of scared to have a day off though in case I never got back to it!

Hi and good luck with MFP! There's a group people from the UK if you search in the group section for "Team UK" - you will find many of us there if you'd like to join. :smile:
