You are absolutely right! I am by no means an expert or nutritionist, the author has done TONS of his own research and I should just trust it. Like you said, if I don't lose, just drop down 100 calories. Those numbers I gave you 1950 & 2250 are the numbers I got with taking in 300 calories less to lose. Thanks again for…

To be honest, I really think/thought those calorie amounts were super high....I guess I'm so accustomed to "you have to eat less to lose weight". Eating 1950 on nonworkout days and 2250 on workout days seems like A LOT!!!!! I guess I feel maybe that is for more advanced people. I'm not lifting like 100 pds, only at 30-40…

Thank you, that's wonderful on your weight loss! :)

ok, I just took another look at the scoobys workshop, apparently I put myself at moderate, if I change it to light activity it says BMR is 1700 stil but TDEE -20% is 1870. So I should eat 1870 everyday, continue my exercises the same and I should still lose, right? Thank you so much for your help. :)

Thank you! :)

I'll be 34 in a week. So it says 2111 calories, you don't think that is too much? I actually had a horrible day last sunday and went over my calories, ate 2080 calories and the next day was my weigh in and I gained 2 pds! So eating 2111 everyday would still have me lose? I work at a desk all day so I'm not active at all…

Thank you! :)

Is it ok to eat below my BMR?

Thank you! :)

Level 3 Day 7 done last night. I had a couple days off, sick and had some family events going on. Almost done...3 more days! Scale hasn't changed at all thus far. Going to do measurements & pictures after I complete Level 3. I'll share the results regardless if they are good or not so great. Hopefully they will be good…

L3D6 done yesterday, haven't done day 7 today yet. Hope to do tonight! :) Only 4 more days!! Wow!

this ^^

:smile: Me too!!!!

Level 3 Day 5 done! I'm so proud of myself for actually following through with this...I really do believe it's because of this group! I feel accountable. When I was eating horribley, I wanted to give up but I felt like I signed up for this so I have to finish this. Only 5 MORE DAYS!!! Interested to see my before & after…

Well I did Level 3 Day 3 last night and got up and did Day 4 this morning. I prefer to do it in the mornings if I can. I tell ya, kickin' butt!!! I do have to do some modifications, I generally start with advanced & then have to decrease to modified. Only 6 more days...wow! Not sure what I'll do next....still thinking. I…

I bought mine at walmart for $20. It's a watch, I know a lot of people on here use the high price chest bands, etc. and feel the cheap watch at Walmart is not accurate. I know that anytime I have actually taken the time to check my pulse, it is pretty accurate. It might be off by maybe 3 or 4 beats. I might calculate 86…

I did Level3 Day 2 last night, will do Day 3 today hopefully. My HRM says I burn about the same as heywithers....anywhere from about 225-300. I do have to do modifications on some of these. I can't do the advanced version on some of this. Hopefully by the end I'll be able to do the advanced version! :tongue:

I started Level 3 today was day 1. Definitely challenging! I did do measurements & progress pics this morning. Nothing to report...I'm sure my diet is the issue. I've been really struggling with it. Even though the diet is the main part of this whole process and I'm doing horrible I refuse to give up the 30DS. Yet I'm so…

I did Level 2 days 9 & 10. I actually started Level 3 today. No loss on the scale or inches..... :-/ diet has been the issue I'm sure. :(

checking in. Haven't in a few days. I did do level 2 day 7 and did day 8 today. My knees do hurt a little. Thanks everyone for your encouraging words about the calories. However, I have to be honest, my eating is beyond ridiculous. I don't know what has happened. All of a sudden I have absolutely NO control. I even catch…

Been busy last couple days so I haven't posted my daily check ins, however, I have done Level 2 day 5 and did Day 6 this morning! Definitely a lot more challenging than Level 1. Even still Day 6 I have to really push sometimes. However, I was happy to see that I was able to do the plank/thrusts & the plank jacks without…

Well just completed level 2 day 4. Man,I definitely have to do some of them with modifications!

I didn't check in on Sat or yesterday but I did Level 2 Days 2&3. Yesterday it was at about 9:15pm. I did it even though I wasn't feelin' it. I was even sick to my stomach a lil afterwards. I'm going to do Day 4 tonight hopefully. No weight change :( Don't feel my body is changing either but it's my fault. I definitely did…

Well did Level2 Day 1, yeah, had to take a couple seconds here & there. But I pushed through the whole thing. I did my measurements before my workout this morning to see what/if any I lost from the first level and I am sad to say I only lost 1 inch and that was from my hips. Nothing else budged. I am disappointed & a…

Thanks everyone! I will wait and do it in the morning! I usually do my measurements on Saturday mornings after I get up but I finished 10 days of it TODAY so I wanted to be accurate about my first level measurements. If I wait till Saturday that will really be Level 1 plus some of Level 2. Just trying to be accurate & true…

So have you lost the 37pds from doing 30DS? You lost enough inches to notice your clothes were looser from 30DS?

Thank you!! I will wait and do them in the morning then! :flowerforyou:

Level 1 Day 10 DONE!!!! Woo hoo!!! I made it through the first 10 days! Man I did not want to get up this morning. But I told myself, "come on, it's day 10! You can do this!" Sure enough, I did it!! So glad I did!! I will take measurements this evening. Don't have enough time in the morning. Busy,busy,busy in the morning.…

Well Level 1 Day 9 done!! One more day of Level 1 then on to Level 2, oh boy!!!

Level1 Day 8 done!! I'm really pushing myself a little harder each day and my endurance is getting a little better each day!! Ladies~ I too have not lost any weight either. Have not measured yet either. I do know that doing 30DS we are doing something! We are making our muscles work and our bodies move and that is a big…
