cristina, I'm picking up 30DS today, Casey did you start it already? Ugh I'm dreading taking the "before" pic though, but I know I'll be glad I did when i'm taking the "after" haha.

and morgan, congrats! I'll be so happy when I break out of the stupid 140s!!! only a few pounds to go, here's hoping that happens in 30 days

I'm now really intrigued about this 30DS business - I hate working out at home! How do you all stay motivated to do it every day?

Haha Allison I'll let you know if I'm even able to!:embarassed:

Thanks Amber for your support! I do plan on getting back in the swing of things next week, even if it is just riding the staionary bike. With this being the first time I have ever injured my ankle liek this, I am definitely being more cautious than I probably should be...but like you said I do not want to do more damage. I can't wait to get back to my 30DS and join you gals!!

twistyBee

Way to go Morgan, getting out of the 140's is a challenege I am also facing and will definitely be doing a happy dance!

The good thing about the 30DS is once youve done the routine for a few days and get the hang of it, you can mute Jillian's voice and just listen to your own music, which I plan on doing. I took measurements rather than a photo, since I haven't been dropping the lbs like I would like to, so I'm hoping the measuring tape will be a better friend than the scale!

So I know a bunch of you are just starting/thinking about starting the 30DS and I thought I would post my before and afters. I know they are nothing super amazing, but I was on my way to post them in the 30DS Before and After thread and I thought I would stick them here too. Plus, now you all get to see how awesome I look when I wake up in the morning (joking, of course. Please excuse the severe bedhead and grimace on my face. Smiling is hard for me in the morning).

Day 30


**sorry they are so BIG! Now you just get to see my blubber all up close and personal. Embarassing.

totally missed this past week, i will weigh in on the upcoming monday

I feel kinda bad because I legitimately HATE Jillian workouts. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome workouts, but I really hate Jillian. She's so mean! I spend most of my workout wanting to punch her in the face! haha I never did the 30DS though. I rotated No More Trouble Zones, 6 week 6 pack, yoga meltdown and shred it with weights (her kettlebell dvd).

On another note. I got my wisdom teeth taken out this week so it put me a little off track I dumbly assumed I'd be right back to normal the next day but reality hit me like a ton of bricks!! (I blame my dentist for misleading me). O-well...

osucristina

Charlotte- thanks for posting pics! I'm totally excited now because I can tell a huge difference!
Angela- ewwww yucky. Ont he plus side- you can't really eat so that's awesome! LOL jk.

CaseyBee

Charlotte, those pics are amazing! No need to be embarassed, lady!

Laura, I've been doing Ripped in 30 for the last 4 days, and I can already tell a difference not only in how much I'm physically able to do during the actual workout, but I can put my hands on my core, flex my (moss-covered-rock-hard abs, and FEEL MUSCLE hiding under there! I'm seriously pumped to see the before/afters. I took measurements (for the first time ever) and also starting pics and weight, so hopefully in a few weeks I can post awesome before/afters like Charlotte!

Someone asked how to motivate yourself to pump it out every day, and I have a secret tip. Do it eaaaaarly in the morning, before work. Others have said this, and it's totally true: by the time you're at full mental capacity, it's already half over and you only have ten more minutes! Also, I actually like Jillian, and would rather she get all up in the camera's face and yell, BL-style. I like Jill when she yells. Makes me feel like I can do it. Ah well, to each their own, and that.

consider getting non hormonal birth control for example I have an IUD which is a copper *rod* for lack of a better term that sits in your cervix, it can be put in at the doctors. you may have to ask though, doctors do like prescribing pills though - however I would strongly recommend staying off the pill! if you want more info send me a message and i'll give you a little in depth on the contraceptive pill.

oh this post was for about three pages back (sorry) um cant even think who was asking about birth control now.....

thanks Casey! I just picked it up last night, I'm so excited to start! How long is it, 20 minutes? I guess I could make that work in the morning hahaha.

BTW, does anyone else know if you can suscribe to certain threads? I think I've seen other people post that you cant (not yet anyway!)....Obviously I don't want a notification whenever anyone comments on something i've also commented on, but for this thread I would! haha is that weird? am I becoming too obsessed with this?

I think I would really enjoy that as well!!! :laugh:

Week 1 is 34 minutes according to the timer on my DVD player, but that includes a 3-ish minute warm-up and a 3-ish minute cool-down. Jillian keeps saying during the video that "It's only 20 minutes" and "I want my full 20 minutes!" but 3 circuits of 3-2-1 is 6x3 is 18min, so maybe she's rounding? Idk. This is what I think about at 6:00 in the morning.

I'm not sure I've heard of a way to subscribe to a thread... so I just check this one religiously. haha!

Hello Ladies! Love the 30 day Shred! I was half way through it in Feb when i bought a puppy (puppies and working out at home do not go together :ohwell: ) But with all this chat about it I think I'm gonna start it again tonight or tomorrow - I think Trigger is old enough now... Jillian is amazing at motivating at the moment you need to be motivated. I guess I'll be taking some before pics in the morning eeek!
Xaoey05 (SO sorry i missed your name) how’s Ripped in 30? I'm thinking about getting that one after...

Ps. Charlotte, the before and after photo’s are awesome! Fingers crossed for similar results!

kate2004rock

I just want to point out that every time I read the name of the group--namely the "(career, not corner)" part - it makes me giggle.

CaseyBee

Xaoey05 (SO sorry i missed your name) how’s Ripped in 30? I'm thinking about getting that one after...

I'm Casey. I wish I had used my real name when I set myself up and MFP profile... The nickname is an in-joke from so long ago it's not really pertinent anymore, I just didn't know how useful a tool this site is, and how often I'd be on here! Oh well, no changing it now. I'm really liking Ripped, almost done with week 1 (one more day!)

osucristina

We should start a DVD swap. I don't wanna buy all these DVDs and then hate them! Lol.

KeshiaV

I went to the Farmer's Market today and it was amazing I'm excited for melon for dessert tonight!

Casey, you can change your username 1 time if you want. Go to settings. I made a semi ridiculous name when I first joined, and quickly decided to change it

I can't believe how fast this week has gone by and I'm looking forward to a brand new challenge next week!

gayle80

This week has gone by really fast!! I haven't even eaten my melon! Working on it

Oh my gosh, Keshia, you're the best! Thank you!
My new favorite thing is cutting up a peach and putting it in a bowl with about 1/2 cup vanilla coconut milk (either the milk or the yogurt) - best thing ever. I wonder if melon would be good like that?

Sorry for delay was slammed at work all week

Now I feel like I need to get the 30DS. Words can't even DESCRIBE how much I LOATHE doing videos in my house though. I have her Power Pilates or something like that and I got pretty bored after a week. Plus, my old dog ate my remote, so I'm stuck in the beginner level baahahaa.

That's the funniest thing ever!

nyctraveler

Did anyone here try the extreme fat loss diet?

It's a 25 day diet and exercise program to lose the last few stubborn lbs of fat

Let me know if you tried it or heard feedback

Thanks!

Kate

Drunkadelic

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm so glad we don't weigh in today! I gained 3lbs of water weight (hopefully) this weekend! uugh.

That's a really good idea! I would totally be game for that!


I'm checking in at 163 even this week...which is a little bit of again, but considering I'm about two days away from TOM, It's OK. With such a big loss last week (3.5 lbs), I wasn't expecting much. BUT, this week I am going to get back on track with my C25K. And get ready to move.
