Nice! I was feeling pretty discouraged due to lack of changes... but this morning I dropped 1.4lbs and am at my lowest weight yet! I was also stuck at about 1/2 a pound more than when I started, so if you're anything like me, it will go down soon! And when I looked REALLY closely at my stomach, I thought I saw a tiny bit…

Kory, we are on the same day of the shred :) today was also my second day of level 2. I'm also finding all the planks SO HARD! Have you noticed any changes in your body yet? And tgirl, I log mine as 25 minutes of "circuit training, general," for me it shows up as just over 200 calories. Good luck! :)

Boston Pizza's delicious alternatives menu has the calories listed on the menu - lemon baked salmon and chopped chicken salad are both around 300 calories, and there's a stromboli and other meals that are also pretty healthy! :) Also love Subway, it's easy to keep a salad there around 200 cals, I like teriyaki chicken…

double post!

Level 2 day 12 done! Yay!! Feeling pretty good, but I'm finding a lot of these exercises super hard! (easier than yesterday though!). I don't want to be discouraging in any way, but is anyone else quite far in and still seeing zero results? I mean, I feel the results endurance-wise, but I can't see them on my body...my…

Just got back on the computer finally, see I've been added to the list!! I am now DONE L2 D11 :D did it at 11 tonight, was a long day, but I went out for supper so I was determined, and also walked on the treadmill for half an hour. Level 2 kicked my butt, especially after the long walk. So much plank position...my abs are…
-
Yay great commitment!! Almost done level 1 already!! I started at about 141 i believe (i'll have to check back at my stats), and had a gain of a couple pounds at first... then dropped to 140, then back up a bit, now I'm stuck between 141 and 142. So no consistent loss yet. BUT, I did have a bad weekend diet-wise, and…

So my knee is feeling a bit better today after stretching it out, don't think it's anything serious but getting it checked out tomorrow. (I hurt it Saturday and haven't done the shred for 3 days now) Thinking I will do L1D10 tonight and just not go down as far with that leg..maybe do a couple extra days to make up for the…
-
Not good! I skydived yesterday and had a bad landing, messed up my knee :( I can't bend it much at all, not even to walk up stairs. So I skipped the shred yesterday and today... very frustrated that I finally committed to something like this and now I can't do it! I'm hoping it's just sore and will get better in the next…
-
scale is not my friend today! :( I was so excited to be under 140 lbs at my weigh-in today, but i gained half a pound. I'm on day 9 of the 30 day shred, maybe my muscles are still retaining? If anyone else has done it, how long did it take before your weight actually started dropping? so discouraging! but I will keep…
-
I'm SO frustrated with the scale too. Last friday (my weigh-in day) I was 140.8. I checked Wednesday and the scale said 140.0. I got so excited and thought I would finally get past the 140 mark by Friday... this morning it said 141.3. WHAT?!? I was also over my calories a couple of days this week, but not by much, so I'm…
-
YAY congrats everyone! Tomorrow will be day 9 for me, almost done L1! BUT I am going to be away for the weekend, so I'm going to do it tomorrow before I leave, and Sunday when I get back, but won't be able to on Saturday... do you think it would be better to do it twice tomorrow, or to just add an extra day? I'm thinking…
-
Good luck to everyone starting today! Be sure to keep us updated! I just finished day 7 - feeling great, I'm starting to look forward to it every morning! So much energy! =) don't give up, push through the 30 days, I can't wait to see all of our results.
-
Thanks! It would be interesting to see what my heart rate is while sitting in there. I like to stretch in it too, but it's hard with the space restrictions!! Helps me get to sleep too :). But it's not MY sauna..it's at my parents' house (I'm a university student) and I'm here now for the summer. So it's not a year-long…

For those of you just starting, or not yet started, I just want to say don't let the pain get to you!! I am on day 5 today and have not taken a rest day, even though my thighs hurt so much I couldn't handle stairs! I was even popping Advil before working out, it was so bad! Do what you have to do, but push through and…
-
I always account for the amount of oil put in, that way I know it's safe. But if you want to be really precise, the way you suggested could probably work :)

I started Thursday, so tomorrow is my 5th day, and I've been pretty sore in my thighs, but I kept going and its starting to get better! Already seeing a difference in some areas (I can do more pushups and ab workouts than day 1) and hopefully will see results on the scale/measuring tape soon enough!! I plan on measuing…
-
my weak little arms are only doing 2lbs each! I also have 3 and 5lb weights that I'm hoping to move up to when I actually get some muscle!
-
Today was my 4th day, just did it this morning. Yesterday (Day 3) was the WORST for me, mainly in my thighs, but today I woke up feeling so much better. And I'm starting to feel the workout getting easier! Keep on pushing through! :)
-
Thanks!! Pushups were definitely hard, I was doing the girly (knee) pushups today but still barely made it through, lol maybe I'll try the wall ones tomorrow! I'm only using 2lb weights now, started with 3lbs but still found it a bit too much with some exercises. Hopefully will move back up to 3 soon :) I am a bit sore in…

30 Day Shred is an exercise video by Jillian Michaels, it's 20 mins a day plus warm-up and cool down, and works on strength training, cardio, and abs, in 3 different levels. People seem to be seeing great results so I picked it up at Walmart. Was just $10 :)

mmmm bump!

yum! I have a bunch of tortillas right now. bump!

Weigh-in day for me... down 0.8 lbs this week!! Yay! I was hoping for closer to 1.5, but I'm happy that it's still a decent loss :) (and maybe i did have a couple higher-calorie days...oops). That puts me at 140.8 lbs. Hoping that next Friday will put me BELOW the 140 lb mark!! Started the 30 day shred yesterday, maybe it…

I use Splenda. It tastes fine, and I believe it's less harmful to the body than sugar - as far as I know there is no strong evidence claiming otherwise, just a lot of hype.
-
okay, so found the DVD at Walmart for $10, tried Day 1 with a friend tonight... wow!! It's tough, I have no ab or arm muscle to speak of. Legs and cardio parts were MUCH easier for me. But pushed through, and sat in the sauna after... feeling good, hope I can move tomorrow to do it again! Oh and I'm starting earlier…
-
I'm in!! Going to buy it and start tonight or tomorrow, as long as I can find it somewhere! I'm gonna need some hardcore motivation for this, I always have a hard time with exercise, especially strength training. I'm more into swimming/cardio. But I really want to do this all the way through!! Starting measurements:…
