I'm on Day Six of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred--wow, that is a great workout in a total of about 25 minutes. There are three levels and I am only on the first one but she kicks your arse! Maybe this week I'll venture into Level Two...
With this, I've been eating a low carb diet (think a combination of Primal Blueprint and Atkins). I hate eating low fat but actually don't mind (hard in the beginning, though!) abstaining from rice, bread, potatoes, sweets. When I do NEED a sweet, I grab a sugar free popsicle, pudding or a single piece of dark chocolate.
Anyway, I've been losing about 1 to 1.5 pounds a week (about seven pounds so far) since beginning this and FEEL better.
Best Wishes to All on their Journeys Toward Healthier Lives!
