Thanks, Haybales! You are phenomenal, as usual! I really appreciate your taking the time to give such a detailed and thought out response. :) I'll give those two weeks a try. I'm just hoping I can get my TDEE figured out! I have a hard time figuring out how much time I spend moving, being a stay at home mom. I know I am up…

Anyone else get a ridiculously high number with this calc? I got well over 4,000 per day? Which would mean even at a significant cut would have my TDEG well over 3,000! I'm currently at 2,000, and I thought my TDEE was more like 2,800. Hmmmm....

Not saying I couldn't give it up...I just don't wanna! ;) I work it into my daily calories. It's all good!

Plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup dry oatmeal, 1/2 cup blueberries, drizzle of honey, coffee with half and half (my vice! I swear I'd give up most everything before the cream in my coffee!)

I would love an invite too please! :)

Thank you so much!!! You answered my questions! And I realized that I hadn't changed the body fat % in the spreadsheet to my own. Somehow I missed that one, and it made a huge difference! The numbers make a lot more sense now! Thank you again for taking the time to help me!

Thanks for the bump! ;)

Hi Everyone! Hoping someone can help me out? I'm trying to figure all this out, and just when I think I've got it, I get lost again. I've only been serious about this weight loss and lifestyle change for about a month now. I've lost a little over 10 lbs, but I know that a larger loss is common in the beginning. I want to…

Still here! I take two rest days per week, but I pulled something on the inside of my ankle just below my calf. :( So I modified one day (less jumping) and took an extra rest day. I did D9 L1 today. One more day at level 1!

Thank you so much!

Hi! I started the shred this week and today is L1 D5 for me. I've completed the shred once before several years ago with amazing results. After another pregnancy, loads of stress, and a lot of pounds, I am finally ready to get serious about my health and my weight. So, bring it, Jillian!!! (JK, Jillian!…

Day 26 down, 4 more to go! I think I can, I think I can...

Day 25 and level 2! Gotta admit that I have been loathing every second of this workout since moving to level 2. But just five more days and I get a break! Keep it up!

Soooo.....skipped yesterday completely and blew my diet. Not even gonna log my food, cuz I think I'll just get discouraged! I'm hoping the fact that I did an extra workout a couple days will make up for my skipped day. So today is day 24. 6 more to go! I'm wondering if anyone is seeing any weight loss? I have lost about 4…

Day 22 kinda sucked. I so did NOT wanna do it at all. But I dragged myself through level 2 whining all the way. 8 more to go... But for now, I am done and I WANT COFFEE!!!!

Day 21! 9 more to go til vacation and a week long break before starting the shred again. I tried level 3 yesterday, mostly out of curiosity since I have only done level 2 maybe 3 times. It totally killed. I had been doing pretty much just level 1 except for those 3 days last week. I figured since level 1 is still so…

Finished day 20! Tried level 3, and OMG!!! Jumping...:noway: But, I did it! 10 days left!

Progress report!!!

19 days down, 11 more to go! I am so so glad my husband is doing this with me. I'm not sure I would have made it this far without skipping any days if he wasn't! :love: He's the best. 11 days sure seems like a long ways away though. :ohwell: Tomorrow will be good. I have been weighing and measuring every 10 days, so it…

Level 1 Day 18!! Two days til I get to weigh and measure. Keep it up everyone!

Mine does too! I think maybe from the push-ups. I am putting a LOT of weight on my arms! It's actually why I stopped doing level 2. All those walking push-ups and planks were killing my inner arms and wrists. I'm a pianist, so I really can't risk my wrists!

17 down. 13 to go!!! Still at level 1, but I don't feel too bad about that considering I went from no workouts at all straight into the shred. Just happy that I have dragged myself out of bed every morning to do it. It is incredible to see the changes in my body after just two weeks. I have a long long way to go, but it is…

Have not logged my food this weekend, but I feel like I have made decent choices given the many events we had this weekend (like a brunch with friends and dinner out with family on the same day). I have kept up my water and as of this morning, I am past the halfway mark with Jillian!!! Day 16 Level 1-No skipped days and…

Feeling better today! :) Sat. May 15: Booluviemomma: Day 15 Level1 No Skipped Days! :bigsmile:

OK-sucked it up and did my shred! Went back to level 1 but that makes 14 days no missed days! I think that I am going to stick to level one for a few more days. It is still challenging me a lot, and I would rather do even 30 days straight at level one than to get so discouraged with level two that I quit. I think I may…

Today is day 14. I have been waking up sick all week but still have pushed through every day at 5 am. But every dayt I have just gotten sicker (congestion, sore throat, no voice, headache). Today I got up at 5, started the workout and didn't even make it through one walking push-up before I basically collapsed crying cuz I…

Hi all! Finished day 13 today and stumbled through level 2 for the second time. I was hoping it would be easier today, but nope! All those planks are killing me! I can't even imagine what level three is going to look like! Still sick, so that's probably making it even harder. :ohwell: BuUut...almost halfway through my…

Hit my afternoon slump when I get really sluggish and sleepy. I work out with DH every morning at 5 am, so by afternoon I have lost my high! I had a little extra time so I decided to try out level 2. OMG! I am shaking all over! I barely made it through and had to stop a bunch of times, but I did it! I am trying to temind…

Hey Everyone! So I am on day 12 but still doing level one since it is still seriously kicking my butt. I have woken up sick the last two mornings, but I figure its just 20 minutes, right? So I suck it up and do it. Today I stepped on the scale and I am down 3 lbs! Yay!!! I have seen great results in inches but this is the…
