Gained weight while shredding

[Queenie72]

I have been shredding every day for over 2 weeks now up to level 2 and eating sensibly and haven't lost a sodding pound!!!!!

Have you tried measuring yourself - I bet your shape is changing for the better.

I'm shredding alongside Slimming World. In the first 2 weeks of doing the shred I also gained weight but by the 3rd week I lost it again plus some more. Keep at it your shape will be changing and you're getting fitter. This is not an unusual experience.

Think you need to restrict you calories to lose weight, the shred will only burn around 200 kcal and to burn a pound of fat you would need to use around 3600kcals - IMO exercise is only part of the solution - a small part!

I'm feeling the same I'm on day 24 of the Shred and for the past week been eating 1200 cals a day (or more with doing the shred). I've only got that stubborn last half stone to go too.

Do your clothes feel any different. Muscle is heavier than fat but takes up less space so the more toned you are it is possible to get smaller but weigh more.
