The first time I did one of her workouts, I only lost a few pounds, but I dropped like 7 inches total. Are you taking measurements?

I got my sore on:)

Scales are *kitten*. Do you take measurements? Best way to see a change:)

It took me allllll day to finally do this workout (started at about 8:30pm) but now, finished and showered and high on endorphins ^_^ off for a walk with the boyfriend (who hilariously did this workout with me today:D) and the mutt to pick up some pizza. perhaps this is counter-productive... but.. deliciously so. <3

Hey all, After gaining back 20 pounds that I lost about two years ago, I am back on MFP to regain my former glory ;) this group is exactly what I am looking for... I swear by Jillian - her program really, really works. Where should we post our stats and pics? X Andy

Yes nerdfitness:):) I was trying to figure out a way to simplify the site... What if we gain a level by achieving a point in every stat? We could set goals that suit each character trait in our lives.. for example, if we deep condition our hair, we can assign a point to Charisma. If we finish a book, (depending on the…

don't stress, weight is irrelevant, really! better to count on your measurements! scales really aren't a good way to tell how much you've changed, as your weight is constantly fluctuating. that being, said, I weigh myself every morning.. total scale junkie :)

I'm calorie aware, not calorie obsessed ;) I don't count calories anymore - but that is only because I used to count, and now I have a pretty good idea of how many cals I am consuming. On days that I work out heavy, or lift, I give my body more fuel. If I do need to munch, I do it infrequently - but the more I regulate my…

Height: 5'3" Age/Gender: 24/ Female Highest weight- 168 Current Weight- 143 lbs Lowest weight- 134 Goal weigh- 120-125 lbs, with a much lower body fat %!!!!

SO true. A spike once in a while is a very good thing.

But god damn, it is easier said than done.

I def recommend the 30 day shred - because it is such a short workout, it is feasible to incorporate other cardio and strength training during the week if you like. Its true that most people see the progress from the 30 day shred in inches, if not weight - and trust me, I am a scale junkie - but I know that really, its…

This.

Hi, are you taking measurements? With the 30 day shred some people don't loss a lot of weight but lose a lot of inches - which is great, because you are building muscle which in turn, burns more calories than fat. I think 1200-1500 is a perfectly reasonable amount to eat, really. Just make sure what you're eating is good…

A bit late to the party, but just did day 1 of level 1 - I've done the 30 day shred a few times in the past, and it always produced incredible results - so I kept telling myself that today while I huffed and puffed through the workout, hah! Felt GREAT afterwards. But dreading, dreading, dreading more static lunges/bicep…

Hey, I'm def in. Jillian is my savior, hehe. If anyone wants to friend me that would be great - just getting started with round 2 of MFP:)

I'll def join you guys:) should we post up measurements/weight and check in each week or something?

scales are curious devils.. fluctuation calculators! comforting, disturbing, strange contraptions!

Thanks so much you guys.

Sorry about the photos violating guidelines! I take it this is a a new addition...?

My thanks for all your kind words and sound advice. Heavy lifting is def the way to go, have to agree with you there. Its been just over a year, but I started strength training and eating clean in january. So about 7 months between those photos:)

No secret! -- Just eat clean and get regular exercise:) I have one cheat day a week, and I exercise daily - whether it be a walk or gym time or what-have you. Oh also - strength training! Haha of course I'm not happy ^_^ I think my body image is so screwed up I may never be satisfied:) To quote a friend;) "I am a shallow,…

well technically, he used the work "knock-out".

boy oh boy. my dad told me that.
