I would like to weigh in....no pun intended. I exercise regularly and have a healthy lifestyle...but over the years my weight has creeped up and I now need to shed a few pounds. Running or exercising MORE isn't necessary the answer. Eating clean (see Clean Diet) and/or seriously REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR INTAKE AND BAD…

I definitely agree about exercise and dieting..but really what is dieting....the belly fat cure is watching the number of grams of sugar consumed in relation to the grams of carbs....I am noticing while attending to these two items and following good habits of eating clean, that I am feeling good about this…

I did Atkins after the birth of my third child and lost all the weight and a few extra pounds. However, it was a diet. I would suggest checking out Tasco Reno: Eating Clean Diet. It is a sensible way to eat and lose pounds!! If you also include 20 minutes of strength training 3-4 times a week and 35 minutes of cardio 2-3…

I will throw my two cents in....after a injury this summer that thwarted my running regime, I went back to my yoga tapes.....i did it every day for several weeks until my injury healed. I noticed a huge difference in my biking....and now that my injury is healed...in my running too. It has to be from working out to the…

continuing with the challenge...i am addicted. My daughter came home from college this weekend and actually noticed I looked more toned. YES!!! I just got my sister to buy Shred.....it works....20 minutes.....very easy.....now, just need to get more cardio. I can't seem to find the time to run during the week. I am back…

Went straight to level 3 today....will alternate levels now.....did Shred this afternoon as opposed to 5 am.....must say....like the early morning shred better....it really set my day in motion. I skip Jillian's closing stretches and do about 10 minutes of yoga stretching. The best part of the whole routine!!
-
Level 2 shred this morning.....thinking of trying level 3 tomorrow......will report then! Good luck all.
-
Alternating level 1 and 2....ready to begin steady level 2. Feeling good shredding.....up my calorie intake to 1400....finding this to be a good intake.....much more consistent and comfortable. Didn't take measurement yet this week but can feel a difference in my clothes. Back at it at 5 am tomorrow!
-
Shredded everyday but decided to do an hour of yoga today....boy did that feel great...needed to stretch out my muscles......aaahhhhh...... Tomorrow Shred level 2 and an hour run.....I am noticing changes!!! Good luck all....thanks for logging in... I love reading the comments from everyone. Peace.

Thanks, Natalie for the suggestion!

My goal is to do this dvd 5 days a week alternating levels each day (starting with Levels 1 & 2) using 3 and 5 lb. weights. I am planning to add more cardio on three of those days. I didn't consider alternating....i am much more comfortable with this plan....will try level 2 tomorrow.....hope to lose 5 pounds this month.

By all accounts, I am not overweight.....I know it.....however, i am tired of talking about the 5-8 pounds I want to lose. Now is the time. I am considering your suggestions to stop focusing on weight…

Great day so far......first of all the sun is shining after several weeks of daily rainshowers. I ran a very hilly 5 mile with my best friend...all along a beautiful lake. I felt great! Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Peace.
