thanks. Would be awesome to burn 700 in 20 mins though! lol

I thought that, it seems awfully high, I mean the bike was at a high resistance etc but 700cals in 20 mins?! :ohwell: MFP says something like 246

sorry, I mean a stationary bike.

well beforehand I ate horribly, so I cut all of the junk out completely, at least 8 glasses of water, plenty of fruit and veg etc, and the 30 Day Shred plus a few crunches some evening! I am VERY happy! :)

oh and sometimes instead of chicken we have salmon, or tuna (I don't like many types of fish)

oh, I forgot to ask, what did you do once you finished the shred?

ah ok, that makes sense, it just confused me when you said it went from 5lb a week down to 1-1.5lb a week.

that makes sense. Usually I snack on fruit or something like a special k bar, 8 or more glasses of water through the day, I have one or 2 cups of tea in the evening, breakfast is special k, or wholemeal toast, lunch is fruit, wholemeal sandwich with turkey ham or something like baked beans on whole meal bread, dinner is…

thank you :)

you didn't lose anything while doing the shred? I got confused when you said you didnt but then said you went from losing 5lb a week to 1-1.5lb a week? Sorry.

thank you very much!

thanks. It's just getting me down because when I started on all for this my ultimate goal was to lose weight, know what I mean?

really? I was told it weight about the same as fat? What is BMR? :blushing:

oh and some people have said that but surely I should notice a little loss on the scale?

I'm doing the 30 day shred, extra ab workouts in the evening, walking and eating better, at least 8 glasses of water etc.

oh I definitely am but my goal was to lose weight :(

well I'm about 245lb :( I'm only 20

see when I log circuit training-general, I burn 296 for 20 mins... is that not right?!

thank you :)

OHHHH so MFP says my calorie goal is 1330, so I burn those just being alive basically? Then when I work out I'm burning more? Yes? This is all so confusing :blushing: I'm not losing weight very fast AT ALL. :( I don't understand why. I'm sticking really strictly to my diet, exercising etc and still next to nothing.

I'm really sorry to sound dumb but... that didn't make sense to me :( :blushing: I'm totally new to all of this! I'm going to add you if that's ok? I need to lose 100lb+ so quite a bit! I just need some help in how to lose that weight ASAP!

I did the shred, it hurt but by the end it was manageable! I couldn't not do it, I felt guilty :ohwell:

thanks. It just sucks :( I'm beating myself up over it because it's called the 30 day shred for a reason you know?!

I can't swim :blushing: I work out at home as I don't have a gym membership, it just sucks to be so willing and ready and motivated then not being able to.

thanks, I just feel awful now... the first time I'm really motivated to do it and I just couldn't, I got to the first set of squat and press and even that hurt, it's above the arch of my foot and it's like a shooting pain. :( This is the last thing I needed when I was already feeling bad about not losing much. Oh and, I…

see I REALLY do not want to eat things I did before. I ate terribly and that would just feel like a huge step back.

I'm terrible for snacks, I don't snack now, I think because before starting working out etc I would binge so I'm worried I'll do that again :( I don't like nuts (they make me cough for hours!) I love peanut butter though

Thanks very much for all of the replies! All great help.

that makes sense! I am on day 4 of 30 DS and it's brilliant so far, I will try the sumo squat! Thanks!

I don't, I got depressed and threw them all away :( My boobs have already lost an inch in 3 weeks just by healthy eating and weights!
