Completed level 2 today. Starting level 3 tomorrow. Nervous and excited!

Ok so it's not horrible if I do 30 day shred then eat? I guess I'm brainwashed to think you have to eat breakfast before anything else haha

I completed level 2 today. On level one I saw some tightening. Right now I see a big difference. I'm slimming down and toning up. Excited to see hat level 3 brings. I do it 5xs a week and take a few walks with the dog for some added cardio. Things to remember with 30 day shred: 1.Don't get discouraged at the beginning of…

I do it 5 days a week and am seeing good results. My body is toning up nicely and I'm really happy. And I only finished level 2. Starting level 3 tomorrow. I find that I am able to push harder after the rest days.

I just did 30 day shre this morning. 28 mins total with warm up and cool down so I didn't eat before and ate right after. Didn't feel too badly during it.

Totally agree with this! I am a TSS worker and work with children to build compliance and decrease tantrums. Here's the bad news. You will have to ride out the bad behaviors wen in public. If u absolutely can't take it and must leave the store make it to your child like you are leaving as a punishment for behavior. "Now we…

I just started taking iron pills today because I was told my iron was low. I'm just looking to figure out what the problem is and fix it. Based on others routines and ability to do both it doesn't sound like I'm pushing too hard. I know my work schedule is changing soon so hopefully that will help.

I county he dog walk as my cardio. As far as a lunch break I don't get one. I work with autistic kids so I eat my lunch in a cafeteria hahaha. I always wanted to work out in the morning. I don't think I can do the plyo moves that early but could probably handle some walking. But the problem is more in the motivation. I…

It's not that I can't make time to do it. It's more than after spending my 9-645 workday working with kids all day then doing 30 day shred and walking the dog then cleaning up from dinner around 8 or 830 I'm to drained to want to get up to do any of it. Once I sit down to dinner I try to have an hour with my husband before…

Plain instant oatmeal . 40%

After losing 11 I took a second set of pic and compared to starting. I didn't see as much as a difference as I see in mirror. Waiting to lose another 10 more before new pics!

And what did he put for activity level. Alot of people undershoot it and put sedentary when they aren't. Most people put that when they need lightly active

Crunch wrap supreme! I don't go to Taco Bell much since the closest one is like 15 miles away but now I want to go since you posted this haha. Me and my husband are lazy. We've eaten more digiorno than anything.

I start level 2 tomorrow. I watched it today. Eeeek! Lol

Circuit training. I started jillian michaels 30 day shred. It's a good starting point since its only 28 mins long with warm up and cool down. I see results already.

I used to think that way on weight watchers because I was always hungry. But when I signed up here I felt like I was allowed alot of food. And if there is something I want -like to enjoy a piece of bday cake or a Chinese buffet" I will save some calories for it during the week. Maybe trim 50 off one day 60 off another day…

So sorry to hear that! You are strong for still tracking. So is cycling where you eat like 1200 one day then more or less the next?

That's a great idea. I'd be trying to put a dab of peanut butter on wax paper on the scale till it read the right amount lol and making a sticky mess!

I am happy with my loss when I follow my deficit so I guess I should be ok. It's all the family events that slow my loss lol. I might weight the peanut butter now though. That's so high in calories that if I think I'm getting one tbsp and I'm actually getting double the amount that would be bad. I might weight everything…

Stuff like almond butter and peanut butter are such a pain to weigh. Lol maybe it will make me avoid it

I weigh solids. Fruit ,veggies, chips, meat. I usually use measuring cups for milk, condiments, and some side dishes like mashed potatoes and like rice. I always use a straight edge to level off. How far off would this put me? Would it be worth zeroing out the container on the scale to weigh these foods or is the…

Who on here said measuring cups are innaccurate? I use them all the time so is like to hear more about that myself. Not accurate because different objects fill them differently? Or based on something else ?

I had to stop watching my sugar. If I had an apple and strawberries in the same day it would be over lol

I just completed day 7 and feeling better (meaning I can feel the burn again) three more days and its onto the dreaded level 2 that I've heard so much about. Still I am looking forward to the change!

I don't take breaks either. Usually a quick one to take a layer off lol. I try to then do a few extra moves in between moves. I Love jillian. I never really looked into the other videos. Was going to once I hit day 20 on this one. Are they available a most stores or do you have to order then online?

That is very reassuring to hear! Has anyone ever noticed in level one that the more advanced girl cheats? She takes a break when the camera goes to other girl and she just does the curl part of the move . Lol then later in the video jillian says " and they don't even cheat"

I love seeing before and after pics. I took some in January. Lost about 11 lbs since then. Then I took some 7 days ago on first day of 30 day shred. I hope to take some at the end as well. I dunno if I even want to post the ones from January lol. There is some progress from January until last week. But nothing crazy yet.…

No I'm glad u did. You are doing it 5 days a week like me! How is the 5 days working out for you? Any progress?

Wow you are almost done! I'm gonna see what day 7 brings after work today. It's motivating to hear of the results and experiences of others. My worry is that my rest days (plasma days) will make my efforts for nothing. Well not for nothing but only get like half the results. I know I won't be able to do shred on Mondays…

I only really follow the beginner for push-ups. They hurt my back even doing them in correct Form. (Keeping body in straight line, no sinking or raised butt). All the other moves I follow Natalie. I've been adding more weight to moves with curls. The weird part it it is tough when I'm doing it. And it usually feels like I…
