Weight Loss Update: 5 Days Out of 30...DONE!

I posted a week or two ago about losing the baby weight. Last week I started the 30 Day Shred.
I have always been a Jillian Michaels fan thanks to my Biggest Loser addiction (new season starts soon!). I have always wanted to try her 30 Day Shred, and after I got the go ahead from my doctor at my post partum visit I was excited to get going! I have been motivated to lose the last 20lbs I am hanging onto...well, actually I am only about 15lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight but I would like to push myself to go a bit further since I was a little on the chubbier side before I got pregnant. So, last week I squeezed in 4 days of The 30 Day Shred, and I am proud of that because last week was rough with Luca being so fussy. I weighed in last Monday at 139.6, and today at 138.4....down a little over a pound! I would say that is a decent start. I am going to shoot for getting in at least 5 days of exercise this week and today's workout is done! I will do mostly 30 Day Shred, but I would like to try for a jog since my ultimate goal is to get back into running. I will admit though, I have not been that great with my eating because breastfeeding makes me famished all. the. time. I am going to keep trying though! I am going to keep you all posted on my progress with the 30 Day Shred!

Oh my goodness!! She kicks butt!! I only made it two weeks with her 30 day shred. It is HARD!! You should definitely try running too. I lost over 30lbs last year on just running. No meal or diet alterations just running. I logged in all my runs on dailymile.com if you are interested. I love that website!!

Thanks for the dailymile suggestion! I need to get going with running again. I said about three times this week that I was going to go for a run and it hasn't happened. Such is life with a baby.

Hi Ashley! Been missing you on The Bump so wanted to check in and see how things are going. Great job on doing 30 day shred, it's very intense. I am on weight watchers and getting very good results. Still EBF too so I get extra points for that and rarely feel hungry. 13lbs to go to pre-preg weight.
