So my new strategy is working.  Keep the calorie intake between 1200 - 1400. I've been closer to 1400, which is fine since I'm burning enough calories during the day. Thanks to my Fitbit for keeping track.

I've decided to return the Ten Minute Trainer. I just don't feel it's worth the $97.83 that I will have to pay if I decided to keep it. I was attracted to the 10 minutes, but the truth is to get the results I want I would have to do two to three of the 10 minutes. Then by the time your done changing DVDs, workouts, etc... your 30+ minutes in and the whole 10 minute appeal is out the window.

I love, love, love  Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. This workout is only 20 minutes with no changing of DVDs and very effective.  And you can't beat the price.
