Shredded Weight

Lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days! OK Sign me up. I'm in and ready to go. I didn't even want to lose 20 pounds. I would have been happy with 5. So I've shredded, and with that came pain. But I stuck to it, because I didn't want to disappoint Jillian, because she gets RESULTS. I wanted some results.

I warmed up by pretending I was a greaser, I slicked my hair back and patted myself on the bottom. I did jumping jacks because her 400# people could do them. I did enough squats and ab crunches that my 6 pack should be on it's way to a full case. I did not quit. I'm still shredding.

And what are my results so far?

I gained 3 pounds.
Oh yeah. I gained!
Jillian.... your video says I can lose!!!! Not me. I gained.

3 pounds does not seem like a lot, but I can lose weight by not exercising, so why am I keeping this up?

Because my clothes do fit a lot better.
I feel tighter.
The muffin top that was getting to be a bigger muffin has shrunk.
The rolls that were starting under and over my bra are gone.
The pooch under the stomach is gone.

I'm not thrilled with the weight gain even though I know that muscle weighs more than fat, but I'm seeing results, and I'll let Jillian still be my friend. And her two best buds, Anita and Natalie can be my two best buds too.

Keep on Shredding!

That's AWESOME!!!

When I began working out (back when I did) I gained weight too. I was thrilled cuz I felt better, was more toned, and for me... I needed to gain. It was a WIN WIN for me!

Who cares if you're gaining weight the RIGHT way, Steph! That's AWESOME!!!
