I started the 20th. We can track together

I started the 20th. We'll see how it goes. 5 years ago I did the shred after having my 1st son. I did it for 4 months in a row & lost over 30#'s.

I've done the 30 day shred many times. this is a lot different! You do it 3-5 times. I couldn't find it anywhere online, so not sure where it came from. there is a 30 day challenge thing I saw it on but someone had put it on pinterest so I thought I'd try it. My whole body is sore after 1 day.

Nothing works the same for two people. you need to find what works for your body. Old fashioned eating RIGHT & exercise are the way to do it. You need to eat more than 1200 calories and more frequently to keep your metabolism moving. Try to eat whole grains & a lot of fruits/veggies along with protein. Eat whatever your…

You might lose that initially for a few weeks but after a while it'll stop, you'll hit a plateau or start losing less each week. unfortunately it doesn't continue like that for long.

Do a big salad w/low fat dressing or a smoothie. My smoothies for about 10 oz. is 1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/3 cup strawberries, 1/3 cup blueberries & 2 tbsp lite cool whip. just over 210 calories. one of the big salads I do is under 300 calories. i do iceburg lettuce, spinich, broccli, cucumber,…

Finally? you look like 2 completely different people. Awesome job!

140 would be ideal for me but my long term goal is 145. 7 lbs to go. I guess if I was anywhere inbetween the 140-145 that would be great. Although who knows. at that I still might not be happy with how I actually look to myself so we'll see.

If you don't let yourself have days where you eat what you want youll cave more often. I've never deprived myself of anything. 1st time I lost weight or this time. I eventually made my goal & it didn't set me back. Just do better tomorrw.

After the initial first few weeks if you can lose it to start it'll taper off. healthy is no more than 2# a week.

i've hit this many many times & after about 3 weeks I'm barely inching down. I've done spike days, high protein days etc. I change up my workout every 30 days. Increase intensity. Going to have to try each one for a few days & see what gets you moving on the scale again.

I breastfed two babies & it didn't help me lose any weight. I didn't add in any calories. I ate what I would normally.

How is it possible to cut sodium if you don't try & eat much of it to begin with. Someone mentioned this and I was thinking, well I don't eat out, we don't eat 'boxed' meals, Yes of course packaged meals like cheese or sometimes an occasional fish stick but pasta, etc comes in a box! We can't make everything from scratch!

I dont' eat those things everyday. I've never deprived myself as long as I stay w./in my calories. This is my 3rd time having to lose weight and I always have done the same things. and I'm under for carbs daily since I started protein.

I started a higher protein diet since over a week ago & lost 2 lbs right away but again nothing. So that worked initially..

since last thurs I've been eating high protein

Thanks for the skinny face comment :o) I have 10 to lose. I'd really like to lose 15 more though.

I swear my body is screwed up. I haven't lost any inches in weeks. Well I normally just measure waist & hips. I also have done spike days in the past & normally would change up what I ate everyday, never eating the same amount.

I eat 5 meals a day, bkst, lunch & dinner with a snack in between each one & sometimes a snack at night. changed my worked out every few weeks-started out doing half an hour, after a month worked up to a full hour.

When i started this time I did the shred for 30 days. then for a week I did another interval cardio workout for 25 min & a month ago i did the elliptical for an hour. Now I do the shred & elliptical for 30 min. everyday. Somethin isn't working though cause I haven't lost for 3 wks

same measurements.

it is?

it's not necessarily eating 'crap' just more calories to give an extra boost. As some people said they do cheat days where they don't limit themselves & have whatever they want or some eat extra calories but make healthier choices.

I've had 2 kids & this is the third time I've had to lose a few lbs. Before my body would get used to my daily calories day in & day out & it'd hit a plateau & not lose for a couple weeks. When I have a spike day in there it made my body think, well finally, something different! I used to do '150 calorie days' also, where…

Good luck! First time I did it it kicked my butt! Don't give up, just think of jillian sreaming at you. She gets real annoying after a while. I lost 34#'s the 1st time I did the shred in 4 months. Did it again & didn't lose as much so I moved on to elliptical agan. Have fun!

OOh a really good one is homemade 'icecream sandwiches'. take a graham cracker & i use low fat cool whip, take the graham & break it in half (2 squares) but 2 tbsp of cool whip inbetween & put in the freezer. I make a punch up & put them on a plate & stick them in the freezer to get hard enough to stack & then put them in…

imo I'd eat 1300 cal. a day. I did the 30 day shred last year after I had my son & lost 34#;s in 4 months. When I started it this year again it wasn't so much so I had to try something different. You'll always fluxuate here & there but 6# in the first week is A LOT. if you've just started working out after not for a while…

just don't eat it. haha. I have a crazy good sense of will power and if I put my mind to it, even if my favorie chocolate is sitting right in front of me, I won't eat it if I say no to myself. Don't think about it. try to just forget that those things are there. but it is good to indulge once in a while within reason.

I'm not attacking, but are you suggesting that I have an eating disorder or something or just saying in general? I normally eat 1700 calories when I workout daily & last wed. i stopped doing that & was eating 1450 a day.
