I used to eat this full fat, full sugar greek yoghurt all the time, it was so good. But then I noticed that the serving size which I thought was an individual tub actually contained 1.2 servings! What the heck?

I did level 1, then moved onto level 2 yesterday for my 11th day, I did the level but hated it. To me level 2 felt really, really awkward with all the positions, just plain uncomfortable and put too much stress on my wrists and other areas. So I went back to level 1 and I've decided I'll move on when I can get all the way…

What you were doing could be working for you, don't take the scale as the be all and end all. Measure yourself, I learnt this recently too. I began exercising and didn't lose anything for weeks but I was losing inches!

In Australia we have a brand of 'pasta' called Slimpasta, it's basically made from a vegetable, no carbs and only 10 calories per serve. It looks like pasta but wouldn't pass as pasta, I like it and use it to make spaghetti, etc. To me I'd rather have a really awesome sauce and not have pasta opposed to the other way…

Asides from the fact that level 2 is uncomfortable, I think I like sticking to level 1 on this DVD because I know I can complete it and I know what I'm in for. I guess I'm just scared to fail at other fitness DVDs. AHHA. But in saying this, I think I'll broaden my horizons and check out Youtube. Thanks!

Out of sheer desperation for protein as suggested by some of the girls on this thread I just ate a tin of tuna in spring water by itself. So far so good, not feeling any cravings anymore but only time will tell. LOL

I was seriously just about to post asking the exact same thing. I was thinking mine were going to be a bit late, but all of a sudden I want to eat everything and anything so I know they're not too far away. I so want to eat everything and anything right now, it's crazy.

That's awesome! I can't wait until I can measure in a few weeks time!

When I first started I had to stop for minutes at a time during it! Don't worry, your endurance will grow!

Shorter shorts! Not like the ones which show your butt cheeks, just the cute, summery type short shorts without having to worry about my legs and having it look horrible.

This is such a great story! Seriously inspirational! Well done, you're doing incredible!

Definitely, as someone else in this thread had said, the scale eventually catches up. So long as I'm seeing physical changes I'm happy!

I try. ;) Maybe I have some sort of physic ability. Haha. You're welcome!

AKA, people like me! It didn't matter how many times someone told me, I had to find out for myself unfortunately! :(

You're more than welcome! Congrats on your clothes fitting better! :P

Heck yes we can! Just keep going when/ if the scale stalls, you'll see incredible results. This can be a bit of a mind game!

That's so kind of you to say! Measurements are the way forward!

I'm just starting with the 30 Day Shred, but I definitely noticed a positive change when I had a day off in the middle!

6 weeks, woah! You're one patient lady! Your story will definitely encourage me to stick to this even more. I'm planning to start the C25K late March.

Wow! You're doing so great! The scales will catch up eventually as you said, but they just aren't my main focus any more!

Definitely! Pictures, as painful as they are to take in the beginning, always turn out to be the best thing at the end!

Initially I would have said YES because the weight dropped off before I started exercising, then it began to fluctuate. So now I have a goal to be bikini ready by November this year, I'm not sure which weight that will be. Summer's ending in Australia now so that still gives me 9 more months to be prepared! I've never been…

At the moment I'm simplifying my lunches (typically when I have salad) so I just like to use a heap of spinach, a tin of flavoured tuna; the ones 100 calories and less and 25 grams of light shredded cheese. I also like spinach + capsicum + cherry tomato + corn + italian dressing, 100% fat free.

Thanks for all the responses! It's great to see everyone's opinion! (:

Nice answer. :P Any material items which helped along the way? (:

Oh and as for things like tomato, etc. in fact most vegetables I know aren't super calorie dense like potato I don't necessarily weigh, I'll just cut up how much I want and guess how much there is i.e. 1/2 a cup of mushroom, etc.

I'd say definitely log your vegetables. Some veggies like onions can quickly add to your calorie and carb count. If anything logging all your vegetables will allow you to look back and see exactly what you ate on a certain day/ week. I find it really helpful to be able to replicate how I ate on successful weeks when I feel…

BUMP again! (:

BUMP!
