Well I weigh in once a week, but during my weigh in, I have to step on the scale 5-6 times and go with the number that shows twice. For example, I can get on this scale and have it read one weight, step off, step back on and get a different weight.

I have the same scale. I've had this scale for a year+ and a week ago it started giving me inconsistent readings. I'll replace the battery tomorrow and see if it fixes this problem.

I don't have a thigh gap, and I never had it as a goal to start with. This is just my observation, but the members who make threads inquiring on how to get a thigh gap tend to be younger, impressionable ones. They equate this physical characteristic with thinness and think that only those who are thin have a thigh gap.…

Ditto to the poster above. I can't believe the changes you had in just two weeks. Your pictures will surely motivate others who may be questioning their decision to start the EMTWL thing. When I first started I wondered how anyone could possibly lose weight by eating more food. It’s the opposite of what I have been led to…

Thanks everyone! The number on the scale kept going up and down, and it was driving me crazy. I thought everything I’ve done was in vain because scale wouldn't reflect my hard work. I was so fixated on the number on the scale that I overlooked the obvious signs. My clothes were fitting me better, and my measurements were…

Is anyone from this group still doing the 30 Days Shred? I have been doing the Shred five days a week with two rest days. Here is my week one and week three comparison picture. I got my Myotape today and decided to retake my measurements. As far as my weight goes, it has been going up and down. Today I weighed in and it…

I get a 12+ calorie difference when I use MFP's circuit training (general) calculation. My HRM estimates my calorie burn to be between 200-210 kcal.

I highly recommend it. I started Jillian's 30 days Shred on the 1st of August and took my before picture to use later for comparison. I was disappointed when I weighed in this morning , and it showed a gain of 1.8 lbs. That's impossible! I am eating at a deficit and my measurements are going down. How can that be? Today I…

If you're feeling adventurous, you can buy a tape measure called Myotape. http://www.amazon.com/AccuFitness-MT05-MyoTape-Body-Measure/dp/B000G7YW7Y I decided to get one after reading the reviews.

Try this! I use this site for reference all the time. http://www.eveningarwen.com/modules/general/faq_categories/2/Measurements/

bump ~ will read it later after I finish my workout~

My weight fluctuates up and down. I could be down 0.5 lbs one week and be up 1-2 lbs the next week. The fluctuations don’t even faze me anymore. The inches, however, are shrinking so I’m thankful for that.

Just a quick update: Yesterday morning I stepped on the scale, and it showed a loss of 0.6 lbs. I had to step on the scale a few times to make sure the number was correct. Also, I took my measurements, and I am down a few inches. Amazing! I am on week 3 of EMTWL, and I can see myself eating this way for the rest of my…

21 years old, 5'1", 116 lbs I eat 1500-1600 cals a day to lose and work out 5x/per week.

I don't have it even at my lowest weight. I never came across this fascination with thigh gap until I found this website.

I'll take a look at your diary. Thanks! I see you eat protein cupcakes. Is that something you buy from the store or make at home? If it's the latter, can you post the recipe for it? Also, still interested in recommendations for protein shake brands ( mainly for backup on days I don't reach my goal)

I decreased my workout to 5x a week. My original plan was 6x a week but my body started rebelling against me. Anyway, tomorrow will be my last day of Level 1. I can't say I'm excited about starting level 2 because I just watched the video and it is heavily focused on ab work. So how is everyone coming along?

I've lost 10 lbs with Turbo Jam. That was my go to work out when I started exercising and I had a blast doing it. I would definitely recommend it if kickboxing and choreographed moves are your thing. It might take you a few days to get the combos down, but once you learn the whole routine it becomes a lot easier.

I have been reading through this thread and want to thank you for taking the time to share this information. I was losing at 1300-1400 calories but noticed a decline in my energy level after increasing my workout load. Call me crazy for wanting to fix something that is not broken, but I know I can get away with eating…

I'm watching my calorie intake as well as working out. I used moderately active to get my TDEE number and subtracted 15% from it to get my TDEE cut. I'm going to stop weighing in weekly and just weigh once a month. PS .I wish I was taller so I could have that many calories to play with :p

I changed my net calories to reflect my TDEE -cut a few days ago. I was eating 1300-1400 calories and upped it to 1556, though most likely will bump it to 16xx. I read the less you have to lose the smaller the deficit should be. I lost an inch off my waist despite gaining two lbs (stupid scale).

I just recently started the program and was doing it every day. I decided to take one day off and alternate between the shred and WATP.

@ Vemapris I was sore on day 3 to 5 and then the soreness started to diminish. I see it as a good sign since being sore allover is hardly any fun. It’ll probably start again when I proceed to Level 2 and I'm not looking forward to it!

I'm going to forgo todays workout and make it my rest day. It's not always good to work the same muscle groups every day. I will avoid overworking them by alternating my days with light cardio. I just have to find one that I like. Leslie Sansone WATP is becoming a chore to do since the pacing is too slow for my liking. I…

I took my measurements last night. I should have done it before I started the program, but I couldn't find my measuring tape. I do not think I can rely solely on the number on the scale to determine my progress. There had been countless times when it said I gained 3 pounds, only to lose them again the following week and…

If you decide to start eating back your exercise calories, I would wait more than a week to gauge the result. Sometimes you will see a gain on the scale if you start taking in more calories than you normally do because of water retention. It happened to me when I first started.

I only used to eat half of my exercise calories and was always 300 calories under my net goal. This left me hungry and I ended up making up for it by binging the next day. I started eating back my exercise calories and the cravings I had went away. I'm still in a deficit, a much smaller one, when I eat my exercise calories…

Thanks for the spreadsheet, makes my life so much easier! Bump for those who missed the thread

I did my workout an hour ago, roughly the same calorie burn as yesterday. Anyone else having trouble doing the anterior raise with alternating side lunge in circuit three? Still cant do it for a minute straight. I plan on doing level 1 for four more days before moving up to level 2. Does anyone here take a rest day? And…

I now weigh every three weeks on a Sunday morning after I've been to the toilet.
