You sound exactly like me!

You all are doing so great! Today was day 15 for me. I am still on level 1. I did level 2 for day 11 and it was too much for me. I happy doing level 1 though and am making improvements even though I am not moving up. I started level 1 with 2.5lb weights and now I am doing everything but one set of the strength in circuit 3…

A straw really helps me too! I can drink a lot more, a lot faster when I have a straw so I get a lot more out of the effort to grab some water! I keep my large dunkin donuts cups around for a while after the occasional iced coffee treat!

Awesome point made!!

It can feel really scary, but once you get to the point of eating a healthy deficit for yourself you feel so good, and lose weight! You may want to go up a bit gradually after being so low for a while, and don't freak out if you gain a little at first. It's going to take your body a bit to adjust to being FED! :) Good luck!

Today was day 12 for me. I did 10 days of level 1, then 1 day of level 2 which KILLED ME. Then I went out of town unexpectedly for a week. I got home yesterday and was back at it this morning. I went back to Level 1 though. I am just not ready for level 2. So I am going to just go until I kick level 1's butt and get…

It never occurred to me to look ahead to level 3. I will have to see what it entails! Thanks!

I don't know, but for me it's going to be the pain tomorrow. I had a legitimate excuse this morning to skip, but tomorrow I will not have one and I do not see myself doing it. I did day 1 of level 2 yesterday and I am hurting today. I can barely lift my right arm higher than parallel to the ground today I don't know how I…

I am very sore today after doing the first day of level 2 yesterday. My biceps are extremely sore and my shin, and one of my knees is bothering me now. :( I didn't get to do the video today and I'm kind of glad. I think I need to heal. I do not want to come out of this video with an injury. If I don't feel up to doing it…

THIS :sad:

I am definitely sore in new places today after starting level two. Mainly my right bicep, but my shins are sore now too. It was nice to do something different this am I guess, it is kind of boring do the same every day.

I don't know which feeling is stronger. The one where I feel like I want to die, or the one where I feel like I want Jillian to die! LOL Tough decision. :)

You do not have to do it every day! Please let that go! :) Let yourself feel confident that you are committed and doing the best you can, whatever that is! I started out planning to do it Mon-Fri and taking the weekends off. I got a little flack for that because some weren't sure I'd be able to go back to it on Monday.…

I did.

Today was my first day of level 2 also. Wow, it was hard, but at the same time I feel stronger. It wasn't hard like the first day of level 1 if that makes sense. Even though I was not able do much of anything all the way, I know that getting through level 1 made me strong enough to do what I did get done. I burned 1 more…

I am not doing it today, but took the dogs for a hike in the snow instead. I have a cold and don't feel great, but the sun is shining and it's mild out so it was a beautiful day to get out for a bit.

I did day 9 today, going to do level two for day 11, so I have one more day of level 1. I am terrified!

If you are not eating back your exercise calories and are doing the 30 day shred plus all the other extras in terms of exercise, it could be very well likely that you are not eating enough. If you are netting below your BMR, and quite possibly very below your BMR most days, this could be detrimental to your metabolism. Do…

I have been! I have a 32 ounce dunkin donuts cup that I use and keep refilling. I can easily drink 6-8 of them a day which ends up being over 190 ounces in a day. It's crazy.

The cardio is bothering my back too. :( What are you doing instead?

Day 3 was HARD for me too, day four was definitely better. I hope it is for you too! Keep going, it does get better!

Today was day 8 for me. I think I felt about as exhausted as I did on days 1 and 2, BUT it was because I am finally to a place where I can give it more. I really gave it a lot today and pushed harder on just about everything.....the crazy thing...I STILL can not get through the first cardio set without stopping. I don't…

Is that your TDEE? (The number they give you?) or your TDEE-20%. Like for me, for lightly active they give me 2162, and then I take away 20% to get to 1729. I use that 1729 number and then eat back any exercise calories I earn as well.

Read this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013 I promise you'll get to eat more. :)

I bet you won't even have to wait that long! :)

I hope I can get to day 7 today! We have a plumber here this morning, and I missed my usual time. I am really feeling like I do not want to miss today though, and am going to have to fit it in some how! I just feel like I do not want to miss out on the results. I am already seeing some and I want to KEEP IT UP! :)

The first cardio set! I can't seem to get through it without stopping. The squat and press are hard too. The bicycle crunches were SO hard the first 1-3 days but are getting better now, same with the side lunge with front lift. For the bicycle crunches I can keep my head up for the whole minute and am moving now, but it's…

I did day 6 today. It was pretty disappointing. I wasn't sore and I know I have more endurance, but when I started the jumping jacks I had a terrible pain in my back, right about where the back of my bra is and I couldn't even do them. I was really afraid of hurting myself and it was painful! Then when I did the first…

My scale is on vacation at Grandma's! I was becoming scale obsessed and so I sent it to her house for a while so I was not tempted. I have started The Shred since then and am just planning to go on how I feel and my clothes fit and am not measuring or weighing. I hope I don't regret it, but I am only on day 6 and I feel a…
