  • If I set it to lose 1/2 lb/wk I'd be allowed 1840. There's no way I could eat that much a day. I have trouble eating 1400/day. I'm just so full by the time I eat all the fruits and veggies and drink 8 glasses of water. I've just been assuming if I stay around/under 1500 I would lose, but I'm not. So I think if I ate 1840 I…
  • I weigh my protein/meats. And things like sweet potatoes. Should I be weighing all solids, instead of cups/tbsp etc?
  • I think the only kind I've had before was the Body Fortress - YUCK!
  • Thanks for all the input, guys! There are so many options that I didn't even know about. I'm going with Optimum Nutrition chocolate for my first order and I'll probably try some more when that's gone. A friend also suggested V Core chocolate or orange creamsicle if anyone is looking for something new. Not available on…
  • I've got a vacation coming up in May and I'm planning on logging and exercising. The resort we are staying at has a gym and a pool so I can get up early before we head out to our activities and workout. We will also be walking a lot, way more than my usual day. I think logging my food is so engrained in me now, I would…

  • bump. whenever i get this i can't figure out what to do with it. there's some good ideas here!
  • I make these at least once a week. Peel potato and cut into fry size pieces. Then I spray a cookie sheet with PAM. Then instead of coating in oil I just spray the potatoes with the PAM after they're on the sheet. I sprinkle with seasoned salt, cinnamon, and garlic powder. Bake @ 425 until soft on inside and crispy on…
  • I usually have an 80 calorie multi grain english muffin with 45 calorie laughing cow cinnamon cream cheese. Or Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt Strawberry Cheesecake flavor(80 cal) with 1 T chocolate chips (70 cal). 1 cup of strawberries with 2 table spoons of light cool whip and 1/2 T chocolate chips. Something sweet but…
  • I love Newman's Own Light Balsalmic. I like to add apples for sweetness and crunch. Feta cheese goes good on anything!
  • I started 30DS on 2/9 and I'm on level 2. If I can give you any advice I would say take rest days. I read where Jillian had said after the video was released that it wasn't intended to do it every day of the month. She suggests 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day rest and repeat this cycle. I'm not following…
  • I'm a nurse and we have a weight management program at the office I work at. We prescribe Phentermine. The biggest thing to watch is your BP. If it's already high it might not be a good idea to take it because it can increase BP. But if you're taking it under close direction of your doctor then it should be okay. We have…
  • I think there are days when we are hungry and eat a lot and days when we aren't. I think it evens out over the course of the week. If you are hitting close to your goal for most of the week you are probably ok.
  • I'm starting level 2 tomorrow. I kind of made up my own schedule. I had read that after the video came out Jillian said not to do it every day. She said to do 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day rest. I wanted my schedule to be the same every week so I'm doing Sun & Mon Shred, Tues cardio, Wed & Thurs Shred,…
  • I think it's set on private. I haven't really used the website, just the app, until lately. I'll have to change my settings. But beware Valentine's day date wasn't the greatest. But I did stay within my calorie goal! :)
  • I've started trying to eat cleaner lately too. Trying to stay away from all the processed junk that seems to be everywhere these days. I stick to lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and occasional treat of flavored greek yogurt. I try to eat a large salad with most meals to help fill me up. And lots of water. Are you looking…
  • Hi. I'm Tracy. I'm 25 and I have a 2 year old son. I started doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred on Sunday. It's a great program to get back into working out if you haven't done anything for a while. I've found I can find time to do it even with a demanding little one. I haven't really been keeping close track of my weight this…
