  • I'm on week 10 right now. While my results aren't quite as mindblowing as some you see on Instagram, I'm definitely seeing some changes. I haven't lost much, if any, weight, but I've put on a ton of muscle and you can visually see the difference in the mirror. I'm not following the meal plan. I hadn't worked out in a very…
  • Hi I'm currently on week 6 and I really like it as well! I like the fact that the workouts are different every day because it keeps me from getting bored. (I've tried doing video programs in the past like 30 day shred and hearing Jillian Michaels say the same thing day after day drove me nuts!) I haven't been following the…
  • Great advice :smile: It'll be difficult to whip out the scale when at friends houses for meals and out at restaurants, but I realize now I have to be much more conscious of what I'm eating on the weekends if I want to start seeing good results!
  • You are so right! I had it set at active because I thought it included exercise. I'll be dialing that down now and be adjusting my meals to fit the new goal. Thank you!
  • Thank you all for the great advice! I will definitely start weighing everything from now on - you may be right that I'm just not noticing an increase in eating. As for stats I'm 5'9 and currently 151lb up from 146ish 5 weeks ago. The 1800 is what MFP recommended to lose 1lb/week. I "earn" more through exercise, but I don't…
  • I do have a scale that I use when logging. I haven't been logging on the weekends because I've been traveling - and I don't doubt for a minute that this is when my worse eating is. But this really isn't anything new eating wise. I just don't get how eating the same plus adding exercise can equal weight gain :neutral: But…
  • I'm currently on week 4! This is the first program I've actually enjoyed doing (though I may not be saying that mid-workout...). Feel free to add me :smile:
  • I'm on week 3!
  • I'm half way through BBG week 3. The workouts are tough but so far I'm liking it! I haven't been following the meal plan, but figured I'd get back on the MFP bandwagon so I could get a sense of my calorie intake. I'm horrible at dieting so I'm hoping I can pull off one of those amazing transformations without having to…
  • Thanks everyone - I plan on weighing all my food from now on to keep better track of what I'm eating. You could be right and I might be way under estimating... I'm willing to do anything that could help! Typically my net calorie intake is 1000-1100 factoring those burnt by exercise. Good point - my goal is not to achieve…
  • And thank you everyone for the advice!!! :smile:
  • I did eat some junk food before (and still some now) but it was more or less in place of meals - for example i would eat chips for dinner or a brownie for breakfast... not really in addition to meals. But I agree, there is no real telling how much I was eating previously because I wasn't keeping track. All I know is that…
  • Hot (tempered) :P
  • Because his siamese twin was a little immature for me
  • That is very good advice, and I'm sure it'll come in handy, once my motivation level starts to slip a bit.... which I'm sure it will. Its so hard when you just want a quick fix and the results aren't immediate. Its almost feels as if time is going slower than usual - I started the Shred 10 days ago, but it feels like…
  • Hmm I'll have to look into that app, Selkath! As a Walking Dead fan, I do love me some zombies :P (and yes, I do watch alot of TV!!). So you're probably saying that party size box of TGIF mozzarella sticks I have stored in the freezer would not be a good reward for completing the 30 Day Shred? Kidding (but not really...) I…
  • Thanks for the replies! You're right Mello, motivation is key! As you can see I first joined MFP in 2008 - I was probably one of the first users haha but I obviously haven't been utilizing it. Time to stop "thinking" about getting in shape and actually doing it. The Shred has been good for me in that a 25 minute work out a…
