2.5 lbs?! You rock girlfriend. So, you are shredding AND walking 4.5 miles a day? You must be superwoman!

Hey Brooke. Glad to see you're back on board! I was hoping you wouldn't give up!

It's my understanding that exercise does affect your goal calories. If the amount of activity you're doing requires you to have 1500 calories and you burn 400 I do believe you're supposed to consume those 400 calories. However, I'm not 100% sure. If I can find something online to support this I'll be sure to let you know.

By the way, if April or anyone else answers this could we put it in a blog post so everyone can see the answer? I know this is certainly something I'd like a solid answer on. :-)

LOL. If only I had refreshed my page to see an answer before replying I wouldn't be saying – OOPS! Thanks, April. ;o)

Last Monday: 137 This morning: 135 It seems like every 4 days I endure the DVD a little bit better. Considering Phase II, even though I still can't do all the pushups or shoulder presses. We'll see…

UUUGGHHH!!! I went in the WRONG direction this week.

My Shred DVD is in the mail (so I'm told) but I probably won't receive it until Saturday. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this is all about. I haven't weighed, but my clothes are feeling better, which is really nice.

Hugs!

I'm done a pound but I had to stop doing the Shred because of sore shins. Read all about it here: http://simplychristel.blogspot.com/2009/04/shri…

I am down half a pound…not great, but then again I didn't do real good this past week either…gotta get in the groove of shredding and all…On to a new week!
Erin P

Down 1.6 lbs.
http://www.smartstrongsexy.blogpot.com Brooke

thanks – i like the thought of eating back some, but maybe not all the calories i burnt off.

my doctor says i'm healthy and should worry about losing weight (which isn't good enough for me – i've been a size 6 before and i shall be again!)

my trainer says that i have 5-10 to lose, but she thinks that 10 will be really hard to do/maintain. i just need to stick with it and show her i can!! :) (can you tell that she's the complete opposite of Jillian?? :P)

Also, I think Audrey's idea of doing a post on this is a great idea if April feels up for it!

I forgot to weigh in yesterday & today so I will jsut report that I was back down the 3 on Sunday from Last Wednesday :) I thought it was the AF bloat but it went away & AF hasn't hit yet so I don't know what it was but its GONE!!!!

5in5: I have no recipes to share but I am loving V8! I do atleast a cup (2 servings) every day of either the fruit fusion or the straight V8 & sometimes 2 cups :) & then is fresh fruits or veggies the rest of the time.
