Start with where you are at and build from there. When I started working out in March I could not do even 1 pushup now I am able to do 7 to 10. Just push yourself a little further each day. Good luck

Hey guys be sure and measure your waist and hips since you will lose inches from doing this workout. When I completed it before I lost 1.75" off my natural waist and 1.5" off my fat roll and 1.25" off my hips. So starting out Weight 166 natural waist 33.5 fat roll 38.5 hips 39.5

I restarted day 1 yesterday level 1 so I am there. Do we want to post our current measurements to see our progress?

you are human. Do not beat yourself up. I find that if I tell myself that I can not have something it makes the cravings worse and my will power goes right out the window. Allow yourself to indulge, but only have one small bite, or 1/4 of the fries, not all. Most of all I think you need to remember you are not on a diet,…

I completed the 30 day shred and I was logging 200 to 300 cal burned each day. The workout is high energy. I have a cheap HRM $16 one from Twiian or somewhere and it showed that I burned 367 cal with the workout. Good luck.

I had the same problem. Read some of my posts. I started out working out 2 times per day 30 to 45 minutes and put on weight. Clothes fit tighter and all. Thought why even bother. Stick with it. I started losing finally. Try different things. Not one thing works for all. Good luck. Ndnlou

Hi Jem, welcome:smile:

I am doing the 30 day shred and I am on day 12 and I find that the motivation to do the whole workout without droping down to Anita's modified version:noway: is motivation to keep me going. and I do the workout daily.

Your body is working very hard wight now to heal and you want to allow your body to recuperate. The little voices in your head telling you that you blew it is not reality. You did not blow anything, you got sick. Stop beating yourself up. ndnlou

Welcome.:smile:

The exercise that i do is Jillian Michaels 30 day shred right now and I am on week 2 of this. So not…

Hi, do not give up. I know how frustrated you are. I was there too. I started working out, stopped drinking the 1 pop per day that I drank, strated cwatching what i ate, eating more healthy, and smaller portions, working out 30 to 45 minutes 2 times per day and all I did was put on weight. I had stopped smoking 3 years…

Pink, you can change your protien intake percentage under the tools. Select to manually set the weight loss plan and then increase your percentage of protien. I increased my percentage of protien and have found a very good way to get lots of protien without alot of calories is 3 boiled egg whites and one boiled egg mixed…

I weigh myself daily and it drives me nuts. I do log the changes if it consistently stays up or down from the previous logged weight. I think that Hunibun has some good advice to log the change no matter what it is. However, for me I can not leave the scale alone, even though I tell myself I am not going to weigh today, to…

Welcome. There is a wealth of support and help here. Glad you are recovered. Add me as friend if you like. Good luck, ndnlou

Thanks for the information

Welcome and good luck. Remember to take things one day at a time.

Thanks I did not know that you could edit them. I will start doing that and confirming that it is correct.

each liter of fluid they gave you is a kilogram or 2.2 pounds. So if you got 3 liters that is 6.6 pounds and your body is going to hold on to all that water. Go low sodium and drink lots of water for the next couple of days and it should stablize out. Good luck, NDNLOU

welcome, the site will really put into perspective the calories that you eat. Remember the more you exercise the more you get to eat. good luck

Hi, I started March 2 working out 30 to 45 minutes 2 times a day 5 to 6 days a week and watching what I ate. I weighed 170 and gained up to 173. I was so bumbed about the weight gain. I talked with dietition and she told me to hang in there. Well on March 27th I found MFP and started logging everything I put into my mouth…

Hello, I am 48, single (in a co-hab relationship with my man) and have only been on here for a little over a month. I will be your friend if you need. I am just trying to lose a few pounds and get more healthy. NDNLOU

I did measure my self today, but my clothes feel tighter not looser. Now that I have found MFP I can track everything I put in my mouth to see if I am taking in enough calories. Thanks.
