I didn't even think of the possibility of bed rest this time around :-S that'd be such a bummer!! Nearing the end of my pregnancy last time I was having really high blood pressure and I was worried I would have to be put on bed rest. Instead, I just had to deliver early. AND by C-section since she was breech. That probably…

First I lost 12ish lbs in a little over a month with 30 Day Shred. My mom and sister and hubby saw a difference at the 12-15lb mark. My face slimmed down and I lost my double chin pretty early on (Thank god! I was so self conscious about that!) And then my collar bones made an appearance :happy: as well as my shoulders and…

As many others have said, the 30 Day Shred is a great workout for beginners and for non-beginners alike! I lost 12 lbs doing it and It was the first workout I chose to do to start my "weight loss journey." 1st day was the hardest but it got better. But since you dont want to get weights maybe try Banish Fat Boost…

Thanks ladies for all your input. I was starting to get a little down on myself about it until I realized so many moms have the same problem. I guess I have heard before about c-sections causing your muscles to split. Does anyone know if that effects "fat loss" on the sides as well? Like right above the hip in the "muffin…

Wow that's quite a bit! I Only put myself down for burning around 215-225. And thanks for the recommendation on HRM Im thinking a cheaper hrm is better than no hrm! Does yours tell you how many calories you burn or do you have to figure that out on your own after it tells you your heart rate?

I did actually follow the shred pretty closely for 30 days. level 1: 10 days, level 2: 15 days, level 3: 10 days, 6 days a week. I started at 161 and lost 12 lbs on that. But I recommend measuring yourself at like every level or something because if there's ever a week that you dont loose weight, you may be loosing inches…

Jillian and her girls are only using 3 lb weights through the whole thing. In a few spots I had to use 8's and even 10's in one. Level 2 seemed more challenging to me than level 3, but I also stayed on level 2 for 5 days longer maybe I was just getting REALLY bored. So level 3 was a good change of pace. Everyone always…

I also did 30 Day shred for the full 30 days +5, and wanted to change it up, so I got BFBM and No More Trouble Zones. I alternate those every day. That way im getting twice the amount of cardio I got in 30 day shred in one workout, and then twice the amount of strength training. BFBM doesnt require any weights, so i would…

Thanks for the info everyone.

Alright, so how exactly do I use a heart rate monitor to calculate my calories burned?

Thanks. How exactly do you use a heart rate monitor to calculate the calories burned? I know I can probably find out if I research a bit but since were already on the topic... Also, since Jillians Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is cardio, and No More Trouble Zones is strength training... is there an option for circiut…

I just finished it about a week ago or so. I did it 6 days a week for 35 days instead of 30 because i felt like i needed more time on level 2. For some reason level 2 seemed the hardest to me! I took pics, measured, and weighed. I lost a couple inches, and 12 lbs. I am 23yrs old 5'5" and weighed 149 when i finished. I…

I recommend it! Through pure determination I did it 6 days a week for 35 days (spent 5 days longer on level 2 because I didn't feel ready to move on). I am 5'5" and went from 161 lbs to 149. I lost 12 lbs and a few inches here and there. :-) Sometimes I would add in Jillians 6 week 6 pack every couple days. But other than…
