    Day 6 done diddley done!
    I had been using you-tube to do it but I used my brand new shiny DVD today. I was a bit nervous that maybe I had been doing it wrong but didn't notice any difference in the pain levels - it still hurts!!! lol Only difference now is that now I have to put up with Jillian ordering me around!

    BTW, I am happy to do the daily challenges but I need a gentle reminder from you all as to when it is my turn to set them... Being in the UK and a day ahead has already caused a bit of confusion.... my first one is Day 8. I think I need to set an alarm clock... lol.

    I will send you a message on the morning (my morning at least, lol) of the days you are supposed to put up a challenge. Does this work?

    Day 6 done! Glad (sort of) to see it's not just me putting on weight!

    BTW I'm sure it's probably on the thread somewhere, but what is the website to the banner, it's cutoff on it :)

    Woo hoo!! Day 5 done last night ;-) I feel it's getting easier & I'm not taking as many breaks. I'm still not doing regular push-ups, but at least I'm doing them. lol

    Day 5 for me tonight - can't wait to get it done after work! Maybe I will do it twice in a row to "catch up"? that sounds horrible haha :)

    I'm feeling about 50% better today (thank you mucinex dm)! I will attempt my day 4 later tonight. FINGERS CROSSED I DONT COUGH UP A LUNG!

    Everyone seems to be doing so well! I hate being so behind because of a bad cold.

    I'm not checking in or reading other posts anymore until I start seeing some results! Hopefully that will be soon, but it is possible I won't be in here for the rest of the challenge. I'm throwing myself an extended pity party and no one else is invited! Not that you want to come anyway because there won't be any fun junk food and there will be lots of exercise!

    Wooo!! I can feel something in my abs!! Not as in I can feel my abs, I'm still too fat for that lol, but I can feel that I've been working them out (I posted the other day that I couldn't feel any difference so I must be doing it wrong) it might not be down to the 30ds though, as I've just started doing the toning section on the other workout DVD that I do. But it's progress all the same!:happy:

    Happy day 6 everyone, keep up the good work!

    I'm sorry to drop out within the first week, but "life" is so overwhelming for me right now. And it doesn't look like it's getting easier anytime soon. So for my own sanity, I'm getting rid of all non-neccessary responsibilities in my life. I wish you all the best!!

    I tried on a long lost outfit this morning...just for kicks and giggles. My expectations were low but I'm all about testing the limits. It was a size 18 suit. Not an 18W. BTW, the "W" is supposed to stand for "WOMENS" but I really think it stands for WIDE:grumble:

    Anyway, I looked at the waistband and thought, "Yeah, alright....if I can just get this skirt over my butt I'll be surprised."

    I GOT IT UP OVER MY BUTT!
    I BUTTONED IT!

    I thought about zipping it and sitting down but it's a fantastic suit and I just didn't feel ready for all that:ohwell:

    But I haven't been able to wear this skirt in over 3 years. It's still too snug for my taste but 2 months ago it wouldn't even button. More motivation for butt kicks and lunges.

    Oh, and Natalie is a fraud. A fit fraud who happens to be built like a brick house....but a fraud nonetheless!

    yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!

    Woo hoo!! Day 6 is done. I almost crapped out of it, but after the torture of the mini challenge I decided to do it. lol JK kinda ;-) I'm hoping I can get it in tomorrow. I have a wedding after work, but I'm going to try to do it when I get home. The LSU game is a 2:30 game, so I should have plenty of time to get it in that night too. Yay me!! :drinker: :drinker:

    going to miss day 6 :( i'll double time it tomorrow after my walk. I hate when i'm too busy to do it in the mornings...life just interferes and i get so exhausted at the end of the day!...i just finished eating and theres no way i can jump around right before bed...i have to be up at 6am tomorrow!.....so thats the plan (double up) tomorrow! wish me luck!!!

    for anyone in pain still....i used a foam roller on my calves (my most sore area) and i can finally move w/o pain!! we have one at work, but i'm thinking of investing in one! they are amazing! :)

    I have had a blah day today; I've felt lethargic and no energy all day. However, I knew that I needed to do the workout so I did. I did day 3 today. Glad I did and I think it helped my mood.

    By the Way, great job everyone!

    Well done lloydmel and tlaker for doing it anyway! :smile:

    Well the old saying 'No pain no gain' certainly applies here, as I'm still 1lb up and not happy. I was losing steadily before :sad: Just realised yesterday I've lost 23lbs and my clothes all fit the same, I look pretty much the same... Just want to see some progress by now. No one's even noticed I've lost weight (Mind you I work with men, so even if they did notice I doubt they'd say anything - they're the first to notice when I gain weight though!)

    Anyway, enough moaning... I'm going to drop my daughter off at school then I've got 2 hours to fit in a warm up, the shred, a shower and get ready for work.

    Day 7 down - a week done! I felt really dizzy this morning which made 30DS interesting but I managed it, carefully :)
    Going to have to do it twice tomorrow as away Sun-Tue. Figure I can get it in before heading off on Sun morning and then when we get back Tue night but will miss Mon.
