  • Hmm, I might start doing sit ups each day, too. I've been trying to do 100 push ups each day in addition to my squats... why not add another exercise? I think I might wait until next week when the push ups are less painful, though. 12/5 100 squats and 100 push ups 12/6 100 squats and 30 push ups (oh, the soreness!) 12/7…

  • Hi, I'm Mallory. I'd like to lose 15-25 pounds more, depending on how I feel when I get there. I grew up playing team sports, so I'm always better about exercise when I'm following a program (or doing a challenge!) than when I'm trying to come up with new motivation every day on my own. I'm looking forward to the next 99…

  • I started last night and I'm happy to find I'm not sore today! I'm looking forward to doing fewer sets with more reps though - last night I did five sets of 20 each.

  • I'm 5'6", currently 170ish, aiming for 150 (or maybe 140, depending on how I look and feel when I get there). I'll send you a request!

  • You can absolutely do the 30 Day Shred. I don't know why someone told you it would only work for smaller people, but why wouldn't exercise work for bigger people?? I've gone all the way through Shred at size 14 more than once*, and I loved it. Your before and after pictures might not be as impressive as someone who has…

  • You'll love this site. It definitely helps with accountability and support! I can definitely identify with you - I'm 5'6" and 170 right now, and my body seems happy (stuck) here, even if I'm not. Feel free to add me if you're looking for friends. There are some great and supportive people on this site!

  • I agree - log your food every day, even if you ate things you're not happy about. Just committing to writing everything down makes you more accountable!

  • If you liked 30 Day Shred, definitely check out Ripped in 30. It has four weeks instead of three, so you switch to a new workout every week. The first day of each level feels impossible, but it's much, much easier by the end of the week. I feel so much stronger! Ripped sticks with the 3-2-1 pattern, but has three strength…

  • Week 1 Day 5 was the hardest for me so far, too. I had lots of energy on Day 6 though! I'm currently half way through Week 2, and I'm loving it so far. I've done the Shred a couple times, and while I definitely like this better, I'm not sure whether that's just because it's new. I'm a little scared of what's to come in…
