I am waiting for my copy of Shred to arrive in the mail so in the meantime I am working with a loaner copy from the library. I like Jillian but as a beginner on this program it is challenging. I did take it easy the first week as I was informed it is a strong work out. I did take it easy and now I know that I have to do this everyday to see the results in thirty days. I cannot afford to buy all the foods suggested by Jillian due to the fact trying to pay rent and keeping my 15 year old car running so money is an issue. I have the motivation but stress of worrying about making my rent payment for November did not help. Need to loose weight in order to search for another job as current job has not given any kind of salary increase in 5 years and everything is getting so expensive. No excuses her just stating the facts. I try very hard to eat healthy but when you only have $18 dollars a week to buy grocery it get difficult.

You don't need to follow her diet to lose weight. Find a good caloric intake that will help you lose. It's always good to start higher and cut calories as you go. The less you weigh, the less you need to keep losing. Maybe start at 1500 a day and see what happens. Focus on lean protein, lean dairy, fruits and veggies. WHAT you are eating CAN make a BIG difference. Avocados help reduce belly fat and keep you satiated so you don't get hungry (as does protein). Drink water. Cherries and cherry juice help with muscle soreness and edema (when muscles are sore they retain water to help them heal and this can show on the scale as a temporary gain, no loss or smaller than usual loss). Google "why the scale lies" for isnight. Jillian also has a new one out called "Beginner shred" (not sure if you are doing that one). It's easier to start with than the 30 day shred. You might find it on youtube for free. It's a grea workout, but not as difficult as 30 day. Look for fruits and veggies on sale and in season. Canned and frozen are good too. Portion sizes are important so a meauring cups and spoons are great weight loss tools. Buy meat in bulk and many places have the reduced meat in big packages (ask your local store when they reduce it) and you can freeze individual portions of chicken, etc. With some planning, you can do it. Good luck!
