Everyone looks amazing!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I do the 30 Day Shred everyday, but I log that under "exercise" instead of that being factored in from the beginning.

I had mine set at "senentary" and l lb per week.

I'm starting to think that that's really my problem. I just went to fitnessfrog.com to calculate my TDEE and it says I should be eating 1900 calories!!!!! That's crazy!!! Right now I only eat around 1400. Maybe that's why every night at about 7:30pm I'm so sleepy I can't hold my eyes open. I thought when you exercise you…

Ok, I just calculated my TDEE and subtracted 15% like you said and it came out to 1900!!!!!! That can't be right!!!! That's an insane amount of calories. Right now I eat about 1400. I can't imagine eating 1900 calories and not gaining.

Thanks so much for your help. I don't eat fast food (nasty). I only weigh once a week and it's at the same time. I will def. check out the website.

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm currenlty a size 10 and need to lose about 15 lbs. I know sometimes it's harder when you only have a little to lose. I'm really hoping it starts to come off soon.

Ok. I'll do that. Thanks so much!

Ok. I will take maybe one day off a week.

Thanks so much! I will get a HRM quick : )

No, I do it every day. I did take one day off because I wasn't home the entire day. I was very upset with myself for not getting it done that day. I guess I need to take a day off here and there?

Thank you, thank you so much for your help!!!

Thanks so much. I will def. find the group. You're not the only person that has said I need to eat more. If I decide to do that, I hope it's the correct decision and I don't start gaining.

Thanks so much for your tip!

Thanks so much! Where do I find this group?

Yes, I do 30 DS everyday. I took one day off only because I wasn't home that entire day. I would feel like a failure if I didn't do it everyday. I felt so terrible the day I missed. (Strange, I know)

Thank you! I took pictures and measurements when I started. Some people are saying I need to eat more calories, but I'm afraid that's not the correct solution and I will start gaining.

How can I know for sure that that's what I should do? I'm so afraid I will increase my calories and start gaining weight.

Thanks so much!

I only had a very low calorie day one time because I was sick to my stomach. I could not avoid that. I don't know how to stabilize my diet because some days I can eat more because I exercise more. But, if I only do the 30 Day Shred DVD and no other exercise for the day, then I can't eat as much.

I've only been very low on my calories one day due to an upset stomach. I just can't eat when I feel sick. I've used the BMR calculator. It said around 1400 calories. But my daily calories is set at 1200 right now. My daily exercise (30 Day Shred) is 247 calories. So that bumps me up to 1447 calories daily.

Yes, I have a digital scale and use it. Yes, I log butter and oil that I cook with. Yes, I log all beverages. I drink coffee in the morning and log it along with the creamer. Then the rest of the day is water, tons and tons of water. I don't drink anything with calories other than the one cup of coffee. I have my…

Last week I measured and I was down 1" in on my waist and 1" on my hips, but as of this morning I'm right back where I was. I'm so horribly frustrated. I just don't know what to do.

I use 3 lb weights. I'm on day 10 of the 30 DS. Good luck!
