  • I have done 30 day shred for 3 days here and there for the last 3 months (one day a month...WOO!). Today was my first of committing to it. DANG, is it hard! I pushed as hard as I could for the first half, and then I had to take a breather. I finished strong though. I am excited to see changes in me! Please feel free to add…

  • I always plan a day in advance, including my exercise. I think it helps me get motivated day to day. Obviously I have to edit things in and out, but overall, I stick to the plan, and it works! I love seeing the numbers in advance.

  • The website recommends that you try to eat your exercise calories. Obviously it's not possible in all cases, but for your body to function in a healthy manner, it needs more calories on days you exercise than days you don't. At least that's what I understand from reading LOTS of posts on the message boards.

  • I do have a few processed food in my diet, like slimfast shakes and protein bars. These seem to bring in a lot of sugar. But I am trying not to look at sugar too much because with everything I eat, it's healthy. Don't stress too much.

  • It's not unsolicited at all! This whole "net calories" thing is new to me today, so I am definitely going to be making some changes. I had the (probably very popular) thought that you were supposed to have negative calories before today, so I was trying to exercise WAY too much.

  • I usually do 35 minutes on the elliptical which burns about 400 calories. Tuesdays and Thursdays I take an aerobics class which usually burns about 400-600 calories in 50 minutes depending if we're just doing floor aerobics or step aerobics. I take a yoga class once a week which apparently burns about 300 calories in 100…

  • I "tested" 30 day shred about a month ago, but I haven't been doing it since. I am going to start doing it tomorrow though! I need to get a measuring tape, but I look forward to seeing a difference!
