I am so glad there is someone else dealing with figuring out how to eat the maintenance calories. I just started today and am at a 700 calorie deficit after dinner because I did a longer workout today. I ate a few treats and am still coming up short. This is going to take a mental shift after so much time of trying to eat…

I have been using Leslie Sansone and the 30 Day Shred as well. I am almost to my goal loss of 40lbs. I love how easy it is to follow Leslie. Kelly, I would love to hear what you used next as I am ready for the next level.

My husband & I eat at Pita Pit for a lunch date once per week. Their website has a "build your pita" option so you know the caloric, fat, etc amounts of everything you put on. We have both lost 40lbs in the past 2 years, partly from cutting out burgers as our lunch selection. www.pitapit.com

I am at this stage. I am 3lbs from my original goal but feel that a few more pounds might make it easier to fit clothes properly. But, there are friends who have made comments that I shouldn't lose more - They may have not adjusted fully to my weight loss or be envious. How do I know what the right weight is?

These are favourites of ours with fall vegetables. I do not add the sugar to them. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/apple-sweet-potato-bake/detail.aspx[/url] allrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-beets-n-sweets/detail.aspx

I love this group. The motivation and accountability is good for me! Thank you everyone! This month I am going to lower my expectations a little as it is taking more effort to lose weight as I get lighter. My goal is 3lbs.

Way to go Frannybobs! You are doing wonderfully at slow and steady weight loss! Cycling to work will help with weight loss and build muscle! Stay safe!

I didn't have internet, time or a place to do it, so I just picked up where I left off once I was home and did some extra days on Level 1 before moving on. If you have access to a computer, you won't have to fall behind--the entire series is on YouTube. :wink: [/quote]

I was getting tired of Level 1, so started Level 2 - ouch! Definitely going to have to work hard to keep in time with Jillian! Love the challenge! Anyone else started Level 2 recently?

I do have treats/desserts in small servings as I think I would be more prone to cheat in a HUGE way if I cut them out all together. I have learned to savour every bite and enjoy food all the more!

Agreed!

Just started last week but will fall behind next week when I do not have access to the DVD. So by next week we will be at the same place! It does get easier day by day!

Reached a long awaited goal this week of 25lbs lost, but also treated myself with a campfire cooked s'more! Will have to use lots of willpower not to eat too many more of those!

Thanks, I came looking for exactly this info. I am finding that though I don't have more time to exercise, I would like to step it up a bit and work harder. It would be great if Leslie did some more advanced videos. I have tried some Jillian Michaels and other workout videos but they all move so fast without any…

This is my first challenge but I like that already it is keeping me accountable and giving me a goal during a busy month! SW: 174 CW: 153 GW: 148 (end of July) Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (7/01 Tue): 153 7/05 Sat: 152 7/12 Sat: 7/19 Sat: 7/26 Sat: End of Month (7/31 Thur): Total weight lost:

I can relate to all of these posts! I have bought a few bottoms (thrift shop) to get me through the summer, and a couple of new tops to make me feel good (now I fit into the same size as my daughters, so there might be some sharing!) but I need to find my new style. I also have a little clip (I think it is meant for…
