okay 3 times a week is good :happy: You might need to change your workout after awhile because your body will get used to your workout. It's always good to change it up a bit every few weeks.

3 times a day is too much. 3 times a week I think is what you mean. Also I find that exercise videos really helped me. Then you can do them at home and it takes about 30 minutes or so from start to finish. if you work out 3 times a day you will probably find that you are not losing anything because it is very hard to eat…

I would eat it and calculate it the way it should be made but add on calories and fat (say 100 cals and 5 grams of fat as an example) then you most likely won't be off by much. For one day 50 calories and 1 gram of fat difference won't matter. As long as you don't do it a lot.

Hi everyone, I just did my first turbo jam today. It was actually pretty awesome. A little hard to keep up at first but I'm sure it will come. Have you all had a lot of success? Before this I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. Got toned but didn't lose much. I am looking for more here. What do you guys think so far?

Thanks for the tips. Yeah I went to see a trainer at the gym and that was a complete bust. He had me doing lots of weights and I just well I just got bigger. Some people... I need to learn to stay off the scales too. Your probably right. I can go to the gym and drop 4 dress sizes in 3 months. My body likes the muscle.…

I'm on level 3 and I can not tell you how good extra stretching is after. No pain the next day. Anyways I find somewhere between 260 (when you first are starting a new level) to around 210 to 220 when your body gets used to it. Depends on your body weight but this is based on someone around 150lbs. I'd get a heart rate…

Alright so I've been down this road before and it is very frustrating. I have been working out now for at least three months. At first I lost and went from weighing 170 to 162. I had a period of not watching as closely what I was eating for a week and a half but still exercising. I have my cheat days on the weekends.…

Actually I do for chicken Parmesan. Take chicken breasts and drag in flour with italian spices(don't add extra salt because the cheese makes it salty enough). Then drag through egg. Next drag through parmesan cheese. Place in oven at 400 for 20 mins. Take out of oven and place 1 tbsp of tomato sauce on each and some…

Checking in again! Wow well last week was a bomb for me. This week will have to be better. I didn't lose a pound! Oh well Weight 163.5 Waist (honestly I am sooo bloated I don't want to know!!!) Workouts: 4 -2 30 day shred and -2 dance practice Last week: Complete Bomb! Didn't have the time or energy to workout enough and…

Thanks to everyone posting here! I have the same issue and constantly over eat my protein by about 15 20 grams per day. I had no idea about the rest. You guys have been very informative and thanks to Bostongirl1987 for asking because without you I never would have thought to ask.:drinker:

I burn about 260 per workout but it depends on the intensity level and if you are just switching up a level or if you have been doing the same level for awhile. It really depends on you and how hard your body is working. Good luck! and I hope you give it a try with us!:flowerforyou:

You have to be kidding me :noway:

Oops my waist is down to 29.25... not 29 1/2 inches... my mistake:blushing:

Hey I must admit that I cheated and weighed myself on Friday but good news! I lost 2.5 lbs!!! I feel great. I am going on week three of the 30 day shred and I am ecstatic about it. I still try to do the video five times a week but last week was well a partial write off as my 4 year old had surgery. But I tried to make up…

That was funny! I needed that laugh Thanks!:laugh:

That all sounds good to me. Check in on Monday no problem. By the way I figured out how to stop the pain. Do extra stretches for 5 to 10 minutes after the dvd is over. You really stretch out the muscles and the next day there is no pain and you can do it all over again. After that intense of a workout you need more than 30…

Sounds like you are sensitive to food. That was what I experienced anyway. Sometimes I'd look down and look 5 months pregnant I was so bloated. I know how hard it is to do but what you have to do is cut out foods one by one and then slowly reintroduce them. I found out that I shouldn't be eating dairy, bananas, saturated…

Hey I've been doing the 30 Shred for a week and a half and it's already started working. It's lovely to see some other level 2 people here! What is this challenge, I want in! :happy:

Good question. I want to know that one too! I'm 27 5'7 166 and I need to tone and lose a little too.

I always found cheat days very important actually. But keep in mind that you shouldn't eat like three cheese burgers and a super size milkshake, but on cheat day don't feel bad about going to a restaurant for dinner. don't feel bad about that doughnut. Just try to keep it in line. Don't gorge until you puke either just…

Hi, I lost the weight in about 7 months years back when I had my son. It took lots of hard work but it's possible. I was home bound in the country at the time with my two kids and no car. I started doing things like gardening, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow anything to get moving. I started playing more with the kids.…

Both of you have a good point. Lost 13lbs last year I guess my body needs to amp it up :smile:

I've been trying to eat the exercise calories and that is why most of the time I'm under.

Well the good thing is I definitely have enough water! Hopefully it'll work for me. It tells me that I need to eat just over 1500 calories per day and then you add exercise and man... I am trying today to balance my calories more and congrats to me I ate 500 calories before 10am this morning! I feel this is an…

You'll get there. The sore part well have you tried stretching out more? I know that after a workout if I don't give it a good 5 to 10 mins then I can barely move the next day. The other thing that works is going to bed a little earlier. Your body needs rest to recuperate and if you don't get at least 8 hours a night…

Okay so I'm not eating enough calories in a day and I know it. My problem is I start off well and then I add exercise in and next thing you know I've under eaten something like 400 calories! Upsetting part is I am full and I do cheat sometimes but I have been recording that too. I exercise and have been trying to lose but…
