I am starting this today. I did it back in January and started a group and we each checked in everyday with eachother to see how we were doing and it was really nice. I found the group to be really good and organized it by day that each of us are on. I started a group but am having trouble getting memebers. Anbody who is…

I would love to lose 10 pounds. Recently lost 40, and then gained 10, and then lost it, but them gained 5 back when i got too busy. Well, I am back now and need too lose 10 again and keep it off this time. SW: 134 GW: 124

Def lost weight in your waist!

I just finished the 30 day shred and all I can say is if level one is hurting your knees, you should find something else because level three is obsurd. I honestly don't know why Jillian doens't have a knee replacement by now. It just doesn't make sense how she crashes down on the knees. I have modified by wheneven she…

Put down that soda, and don't even think about adding that butter!:flowerforyou:

There is no way that you are 136! You look 120 tops.You must be all muscle. I am 5'3.5 and started in general at 168, and then got down to 135. Then joined myfitnesspal and now am 129. My goal is 118. My profile picture is of me at 136. I look way heavier than you.

I upped my calories to 1300, and last night I was able to sleep!

I am now set for 1200 calories a day to lose 0.9 pounds per week. I usually end up between 1250 to 1320 calories and I work out every day, doing 30 day shred that burns about 190 calories. Isn't it true that your body wants to stay the same weight, so you get hungry when you are cutting calories until it gets past that set…

How long until this problem went away?

Well, its not in my calorie budget and I only do it out of desperation.

I agree with the protein and fiber together. I keep a stash of hard boiled eggs in the fridge for snacks. Yogurt also helps a lot. I would go with a piece of whole wheat bread-make sure it has 4 or more grams of fiber and an egg. Sara lee bread is great because one slice only has 45 calories!

I have to chime in here. No, I do not have that problem, but I was on anti-depressant meds and gained 50 pounds. Maybe they did cause an increase in appetite, but I counted my calories and worked out for 3 months and didn't lose one pound. Once I realized it could be the meds, I got off of them and slowly, but surely lost…

myfitnesspal set mine to 1200 to lose .9 pounds a week. I usually eat 1200 for about 3 days and then go up to 1400 on the 4th day which is maintenance. Then I go back down to 1200.

I weighed in today. I am now 131.4. I started at 133. Not quite the 10 pounds I was hoping for, but the year isn't over yet!

This research isn't very well controlled. The people lost weight all sorts of differetn ways. We know that the atkins diet causes your body to starve. The fact that these people lost weight all sort of different ways doesn't give the study much control. Also, it says these "still plump" people. Does that mean if you lose…

I am from St. Louis, but live in Colorado now. I am going there this Saturday though! I know it doens't help much, but I am also doing the 30 day Shred.Today is my day 4. SOunds like you work out a lot. I am only doing the 30 day shrd and yesterday did my first Zumba class. I lost about 40 pounds before joinging…

I have no idea how anyboy could possible think 1200 calories is a lot! I struggle to stay at 1200 everyday. I would love to know how you people aren't constantly hungry!

What is Mio? I just weighed in and gained. :( I don't know what I expected after doing nothing buy baking and eating for 3 days. I guess I expected my body would at least maintain, but now I am higher than when I started. :(. Oh well, today I am back to counting and usually when I gain, it is easy to lose because my body…

Wow. I just invited you. When I do workout that requires going up and down a lot I get dizzy. I haven't done the shred yet. I plan on doing it today after work. Does it require going from sitting to standing a lot? I heard the reason for this dizzyness is because our muscles are not developed and they are what get the…

How many inches did you lose? Were you able to fit into a smaller size at the end?

K, I think I invited everybody who expressed interest. Let me know if I didn't.

OKay, I think I invited everybody who posted here. If not, I think this link should work: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1538-30-day-shred-december-27th

Great everyone! I am going to start tomorrow! I am watching video diaries of people who have done it on youtube. It looks really successful! Sounds like first 3 days will be hell, but we can push through! I will create the group tomorrow. I guess we will all post our starting weight and meaurements if you want.

Is it rough on the knees? Also, does it have you getting up and down really fast?

I am sucking. I keep eating. I am on a break of sorts, so I am getting really bored and just cooking and baking. The hardest part is that when I cook, its so hard to figure out how many calories are in it even if it is healthy that I just give up counting and of course overeat.

131.4. Starting weight 133!

What do you do? I'm sure your experience can't beat mine. My coworker bullies a staff member, screws everything up and pushes people around. Then makes deals with people to vote for each other for this big award for the past 3 years. Finally they both won the award because they were voted for for three years in a row. Then…

My experience is if I eat 1200 for 4 days, I can lose weight, but then my body is starving and the next day is a binge day. Its better it start a little higher and lose the weight a little slower than reversing all progress by starving.

What about fantasizing about doing it? Is that fewer calories?

Hi, my name is Valerie. I am 26 years old. I lost about 40 pounds before my wedding in August. Gained 5 back on the honeymoon ans haven't lost them and gained 2 more. As of my wedding day, I still have 5 to lose, but didn't quite make it. I would like to lose 10 more.
