Day 19 down! I FINALLY saw some movement on the scale today. Only half a pound, but still! Yay!

I did, thanks!

Tomorrow will be day 19 for me! I haven't seen any drop on the scale, but I also just started keeping track of calories so hopefully that will change. I have lost about 6 inches over my whole body, though. I think I started seeing a teeeeny (haha) bit of definition in my stomach around day 5 or 6.

Added, thanks :)

Day 18 done. I was able to do a few of the walking plank moves from level three without dropping to my knees, so that's progress! By a few, I mean probably, like, three, before I had to go to my knees, but still! haha

Whole Foods is by far my favorite place to shop for food in general… plus, my boyfriend works there so his discount actually allows us to do our regular shopping there, haha. I second the post about Oh She Glows, Angela's recipes are great. Also as far as online resources, the Post Punk Kitchen blog is wonderful and Isa…

Hi there! I've been vegan for about eight months now so I'd be happy to share recipes/idea/advice.

Thanks. :) I've really got to get a HRM, apparently. I don't mean to sound naive because I'm sure I'm burning less than it feels like I am, but there's no way I'm only burning 50-70 calories. I think I'm going to log the shred but not anything extra for the next few weeks because I really want to drop a bit before I go…

I've gained a bit too, but lost inches. I also just decided to finally suck it up and start diligently counting calories for the second half of the shred, so hopefully I'll see some loss before I'm done.

Check in for me, finished day 17 today! I did level three, whew, killer.

I think there's some debate about whether to do it straight through every day for 30 days or not. I haven't heard it myself, but a few people have posted that they heard or read an interview with Jillian where she recommends doing 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, then repeat, then a rest day. I personally am planning on doing…

I don't have a scale yet, but yes I'm measuring everything. I've only just started this today, so I measured out all of the ingredients in my green smoothie rather than just dump them in as usual.

I'm planning on starting Ripped in 30 after I get back from going home for Christmas… I can't wait! Is it similar to the shred? I've heard it's actually more effective.

It does, thanks! :) I'm shorter and heavier than you so I think it makes sense that I would be between 200-250.

Based on a power yoga calorie counter I found online for my weight and 34 minutes I burned approximately 245 calories.

Thank you guys, I'll have to try creating a recipe with my dinner tonight. :)

I know it isn't cardio, but it definitely isn't only stretching… it's a lot of power poses and body weight. I mean, I'm not in the best shape but I'm not in terrible shape either, and I was sweating and struggling with some of the movements so… I definitely think I'd like to log it. Any other opinions?

Haha, yeah, mine too! Okay, thanks. So, I guess my question then would be… do you log the ingredients for the entire recipe, or just for one serving? I mean, I might make a recipe that calls for a cup of chopped onion, but the serving I actually eat wouldn't contain that entire cup. Does that make sense? Sorry if I'm…

I did day 16 today… I've been on level 2 for about ten days now, I started it early because I was getting bored with level 1. It's a killer! I still can't hold all the planks for the full time, usually have to take at least one or two 5 second breathers. But I'm getting stronger! I haven't lost any weight yet, in fact I've…
