I'm Erin and I started on the 10th of this month. I'm not doing before and after photos, just before and after Weight and Fat % measurements. I'm actually hoping to see more fat loss than weight loss, but either will be welcome! I've never made it to level 2 before, all you who are there, is it awful?

I measured my caloire burn on the shred, and on days I burn thatmuch or more doing something else I drop the Shred workout.

I'm on day 7 and I'm doing the workout on every day that I am not doing some other type of excercise that burns a similar amount of calories. I won't lie, I hurt. Shoulders and arms are sore. But I am keeping it going. I'm also not measuring weight until the end of the whole thing, but considering the calorie burn (around…

Oh my word! I know that compliment hole!! Friends tell me "You look somuch better than the last time you were at this weight!" Which is great and all but the problem is I am BACK at this weight! Glad to hear you had success, gives me hope! I find my excuses to work out are lessend with home workout options like DVDs and…

I just started this week too, my goal is about 70 pounds away. This week I am feeling pretty good but low energy. the scale is moving the right direction though! I'd love a group to chat with about it share recipes with etc!

I live in a desert so 3 litres a day is low to normal for me. But I have found tips to getting they 6-7 down that I need during the summer. Lemon in the water is a good one, aslo cucumber. But for otc I have to tout the joys of Special K Protein water. It has protein and fiber in a drink! Which helps with being hungry and…

I'd love to get in on this to keep me on track for a fall wedding I have coming up (guest only). And maybe inspire me to actually make a costume this year, not feeling motivated!

Congrats on starting up here! It is a great first step! I'm down over 50 pounds over the years. My tips for being able to do this long term are these: 1. Don't restrict yourself like crazy - saying NO to everything you love leads to epic binge eating failure. 2. Don' go nutty on the excercise and think P90X EVERY DAY is…

I normally work out at home, or by myself running. So no one cares what I say or sing, or yell. But in the winter I head into the gym, and this year as I was running my sprints on the treadmill, I hit my highest minute per mile ever and so I just yelled "F*** YEAH mother F***ER!!!" it was loud...REALLY loud....and did I…

32 and looking to lose 60 too! I'd love some motivational friends!

If there is nothing but junk food in your house, then go buy new food that is good for you. You can eat a TON of veggies and fruit for nearly nothing calorie wise. Plus the fiber keeps you full. Also lean protein is a good calorie value. Just get rid of the junk and eat the fresh stuff and the caloires just kinda take care…

I am also a recent vegetarian and found that I lose weight a LOT faster when I don't eat meat. I think it mostly has to do with eating fewer calories, but getting more nutrition out of those calories! make sure to keep up your protein intake with other surces, but otherwise, chow down on the veggies! You'll feel full and…

Follow the rule of shopping around the edges. Notice that in a grocery store all the fresh stuff is on the edges, you only get in real trouble when you venture into the processed middle! produce section is mostly safe (no dressing or premade stuff, just fresh), meat section (same deal, fresh only) and dairy too. I avoid…

I agree with this whole heartedly! it is my way of life. I also do not eat meat at all (no fish either) and I find Super Firm Tofu, beans, cheese, and other meat substitutes as a great source of protein. And on days when I'm not so careful I can also boost it up a bit with Special K Protein Water mix. Not only does it help…

I agree with all the others that say your "nutritionist" is WRONG! I have gal bladder problems, an organic junkie, I do not eat anything with preservatives due to allergies, and I am a vegetarian and my diet is more varied than that. And despite all the crazy docs I went to over the years to lose weight, none of them ever…

Are you weighing at the same time of day? I know I weigh my absolute least about 1 hour after I wake up and my most is right before bed, so depending on your body the time of day makes a big difference (up to 6 pounds for me). And also I find that depending on where I am in relation to my cycle.....water weight can…

I second the vote for logging it in no matter what. Especially before you place the order for what you want. Sometimes just seeing those calorie numbers is enough to get you to order something else even juts a little better, or maybe nurse the one beer and not have a second. I know shame/guilt goes a long way in keeping me…

As someone who has struggled with Diet for years let me tell you 3 things that help me when I am hvaing a bad time, or when I am on a plateau, or even if (god forbid) I have excercised all week and eaten right and GAINED! 1) Your body natrually fluctuates in weight over the course of the day, it can be up to 10 whole…
