I hope it's ok that I joined the group. I just started the 30ds again. My only problem is I work 2 jobs and most days during the week I work from 8am to 11pm. Even finding 20 mins working those long days is hard, but I want to finish the workout even if it takes me more than 30 days. I will do my best, but I need some help staying motivated.

    Thanks everyone! I would love to get up and workout before work, but I average about 6 hours of sleep a night and I usually sleep every possible minute! I have a 2 hour lunch so I am going to start doing my workouts then. I work for a Dr so he let me put a tv and dvd player in an unused room that I will start using. Today though...lunch hours=Nap TIme!

    I've read a few places that you don't need to do it every day. Some have quoted Jillian as recommending 2 days on, one day off, but I haven't looked that up. Even if you end up taking 60 days to do it, you should still see results, might just take a little longer.

    I am going to do the 2 days on, one off approach, as I have been inactive for a while and don't want to put too much strain on joints, heart etc. I did it with my mum the other day, and she got concerned because I was really red, particularly in the chest area - I am usually like this when I can be arsed working out though, I try to make it worthwhile.

    I have only done 2 days so far -3rd will be today. Between this, watching my calorie intake, upping my water and logging onto MFP regularly, I have lost over half a kilo since Monday. Only a thousand or so to go lol.

    Good luck doing it at work, very supportive of your boss!
