bump! good ideas!

I woud be jumping for joy if I had your weight and measurements! Good job and good luck to you!

Sounds scary and refreshing at the same time. I'm just going to make sure I eat above my bmr, although I had 2 different values for that and shoot for around 1763 and see how it goes. My problem is patience. I going to try to really try to give it time to work. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the help by the way!

Or I guess I could just go for a happy medium between the two. I think I'll shoot for 1763 cals since I'm probably somewhere in the middle. Wow that seems like a big number.

OK yes thank you. So I guess I just have to now figure out if I'm light or moderately active....

So how did you come up with 1800 or 1860 for me?

I'm copying and pasting in search of help and confirmation. Thanks in advance! Female, 64.5 inches, current weight (also used this as goal weight) 165 lbs. Measurements, neck 13.5, waist 33, hips 44. Military body fat 39.1%. BMR Harris-Benedict = 1507 Katch-McArdle = 1352 Sendentary = 1808 Lightly Active = 2072…

I posted on another link a question to make sure I have my number right. Maybe I'll post it here?? I'm scared to increase cals without being sure.

I was so sore I was worried! Stairs and getting up and down from a chair/toilet...pain. Just did day 5 and it does get better! Hang in there and keep going!

Excuse me, today is day 5 of the shred for me.

I almost didn't continue on after day 1 b/c I was so sore but I'm glad I did!! People on this forum told me to and today is day 4 and it's the first day my legs haven't been killing me! Keep going! It gets better!

Same boat here!! Please feel free to add me!

I completed day 4 yesterday, will do day 5 tonight and today is the first day I'm not in total pain! Still a little sore but not bad. I actually kind of enjoy it... it's nice and tolerable knowing it's a short amount of time. I keep thinking I'll peek at level 2 but dont' want to freak myself out. lol.

Congratulations!! You are an inspriation!!!!!

So now that i've increased my calories my weight loss is slowed. Any advice?

Congratulations!! You are incredible and look great!!!!

Day 2 went better than I expected. As of right now I'm less sore than when I started the dvd tonight.

I just did day 2 and it was better than yesterday! My quads are what hurt the most!

That's so good to hear. I'm going to do it again tonight. Would you say you were pretty intensely sore at first?

My sore body agrees. I've worked out regularly 4-6 times a week at a gym or running/walking outside for the past 2 years and I've never been this sore. And I've only done 1 day!

The 30 day shred is a work out dvd by Jillian Michaels from Biggest Loser. I just downloaded it on Amazon.com for like 4.99.

deannajf4 and jfus14, thanks for the motivation!! I will do it tonight! It won't be pretty as I'm at work and just bursted out laughing in the bathroom struggling to get off the toilet....damn lunges! or squats! Whatver caused this pain! Seriously, thanks for the push!

I did day one yesterday and am so sore I don't think i'll be able to do it again tonight. :frown:

Did you give yourself a rest day at all at first?

I feel like such a wuss but I did day one yesterday and am so sore I'm not sure I can do it again tonight! Anyone else super sore after the first day? Wondering if I'm just being and wuss and should do it again tonight or if I should give it a day???

You all look phenomenal!!

Okay thank you. I editted my settings to a calorie goal of 1479. We'll see how it goes!

I just did the first day of it about an hour ago and holy smokes!! i can feel it!

bumping this to get some advice
