I recommend keeping some lower cal sugary treats around to keep you from binging on something worse. Maybe some 100 calorie snack packs? I made myself a low cal chocolate cupkake recipe i found onlline by mixing 1 package of chocolate cake mix with a 15 oz can of pumpkin. Then baking them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.…

Thanks for all of the great replies! This is interesting. My skin had been dry and I was breaking out for the last few months. Over the last two weeks my skin has been less dry and suddenly cleared up. There is definitely something to this. It sounds like healthy fats have all sorts of benefits. I think I will continue…

MFP has my net calorie goal set at 1340. Since I have my profile set to sedentary, and the calorie deficit I need is built into my net calorie goal, I always eat most of my excercise calories back. So if I don't excercise I try to only eat 1340, but if I excercise and burn 200 calories, I get to eat 1540, which gets me to…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I will try again tomorrow. I like the idea of substituting some of the moves. I think I will try replacing some of the strength moves that give me coordination issues with some of the similar moves from level 1. And on the oblique twists, I'll just pick a different cardio move to do…

Since you mentioned that the plateau started around the time you started excercising everyday, do you think it is possible that your calories burned is actually lower than your estimate? Since you mentioned you are eating 2/3 of your calories back, if the calories burned estimate was off, it could cause you to break even…

I just started a week ago. There is actually a Jillian Michaels DVD group on this forum that you might like. A lot of us in the group just recently started 30DS. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups Edited to Add: The group name is: Jillian Michaels dvds for 2013

Veggie Chili. I combine these ingrediants in a crockpot and let it sit on low for 8 hours while I'm at work. You can mix and match other vegetables. It makes about 3 servings, and has about 200 calories per serving. 1 Diced Zucchini - Medium 1 Diced Yellow Squash - Medium 1 Diced Medium Onion 1 - 15 oz can Chili Beans 1 –…

It's got 3 different levels that you do 10 times each. It combines cardio and strength training. You can find all the levels on YouTube.

I have to do that during the stretches too. I sprained my ankle about 6 months ago, so maybe that's the reason I have balancing issues.

I'm on day 3 L1. It's easy for me to do lunges when my right leg is forward and my left leg is back, But when my right leg is back, I lose my balance and can't keep up with her. I am already seeing a difference in my inner thigh definition on my left leg, but not my right. I'm looking lopsided, so after I was done with…

Thanks. I think I'll try cans of soup for the next few times, and move back up to 5 lbs when I am ready!

I just did level one for the first time today. Boy did I work up a sweat. I couldn't do the same number of squats, lunges, or push ups as Jillian, but I came close.

Thanks for the tips everyone! If I decide to try it, I think I will aim for everyday. If it turns out to be too much, I'll switch to every other day with cardio on the off days. Some more questions for those that have tried it: 1. How easy is it to maintain the results long-term after you complete the 30 day shred? 2. I am…

Thanks for the tips, Trelm! I am going to use the tips you gave me and the site you recommended to get started.
