I just finished the 30 Day Shred yesterday and will post a picture soon (lost 8 pounds)

Great job!!

I hear ya. I've been under my calorie goal and have been exercising almost every day for a month and still managed to gain a pound. If you figure out the answer let me know!

Join what group? You mean this thread?

Just looked at your photos in your profile and I don't see a double chin at all!

Lookin' good!!

Check Ebay, sometimes they have 'flawed' ones on there cheaper. Like the sizing might be wrong or there's a minor defect. I got mine on Ebay for $38 and I can't even tell what the 'flaw' is. Be sure to check the description in case the sizing is wrong. Oh and I'd also recommend buying a size or two smaller than what you…

The gals on Biggest Loser wear the Enell brand and that's what I have. It works wonderfully!

I actually wasn't sore up until level 3. I guess maybe I wasn't working hard enough. :tongue:

My HRM usually says I burned twice as much as my machine says so I normally go with the machine. I'd hate to over estimate and think I need to eat all those calories!

I can't do regular push ups either but I'm going to try this trick! Thanks!

The sumo squats that Jillian does in level 3 of the 30 Day Shred feel like they're working that area. They're killer!

Definitely get an Enell bra (it's what the Biggest Loser ladies wear). I was a 44F when I got my first one and it worked beautifully!

I wouldn't say level 3 is easier. In fact I think it's WAY harder! I think people might say it's easier because they've already completed levels 1 and 2 and have built up some muscle and endurance throughout.

The only thing I don't like about level 3 is the SUMO SQUATS! Yuck!

I think you will get better even if you're doing them incorrectly. I know when I started I didn't do ANY of the exercises correctly but once I built up some endurance I was able to focus more on doing the moves just as they are in the video.

Hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm not even sure I agree with it but it came in my inbox and thought it was interesting! Either way, I don't work out long enough to consider using sports drinks, I'll stick with my water.

You need to celebrate girl! Getting to ONEderland is a great accomplishment! I can't wait to get there! Be PROUD!

Wow, how tall are you? You looked great in the before picture too! :happy:

I do 30 minutes of elliptical in addition to the Shred. I have lost about 4 pounds. Not sure how many inches but my clothes are fitting much better!

I just started level 3 and while I feel like I SHOULD have done each level more than 10 days... I got bored, so I moved on. I think you should stay at level 1 for as long as you need to! I'll probably go back at some point and do it all again until I feel like I've mastered the advanced moves instead of the modified…

Mine is http://www.imabigloser.com and I'm slowly compiling a list of MFP user blogs here if you want to add yours http://imabigloser.com/mfp-blogs/ (Does anyone else hate it that links aren't click-able in this forum?)

I totally agree! I took a before picture before I started the 30 Day Shred. I was pretty sure I wouldn't see a difference after the end of 30 days (today is day 21). But for the heck of it I decided to take another picture today and compared them. I saw a difference! I was completely amazed! It wasn't a HUGE difference but…

Protein bar

Skinny and unfit, definitely. As a lifetime 'fat girl' there was a time that I would do ANYTHING to be skinny. To be the one that people look at when you walk in the room and not because you're so freakishly HUGE. There's a bit of desperation involved when your obese. It's funny when I think of it now because at my highest…

Ya and it could have a built in fan to simulate wind that blew harder as your ran faster or visa versa! I think we should trademark this idea! :wink:

I just started level 3 and so far I've only lost about 4 pounds. What else did you do during that time? Did you do any other cardio? I do 30 minutes on the elliptical also but I may have to add more to see results!

EDIT: That's Thermo Burst not Turbo Blast LOL

Not necessarily a weight loss drug but I use Jack3d for energy to complete my workouts. It's great! Now I'm trying Turbo Blast from GNC.

Oh ya, I find myself doing that. I actually ended up with 1800 calories left over at the end of today. But I'm not hungry so I don't plan on eating them.
