Just wanted to wish those in this group well! I started the 30 DS with my wife on march 1. She wanted to try this program together. At my heaviest I weighed 305 lbs. But I needed the exercise and I wanted to support her. So we bought the DVD. I actually found a march support group and joined here on mfp. But that group mod removed me from the group because I am a male. How discouraging! Turned out well though. I found another group who allowed me to join and thank goodness they did! Several times I wanted to quit. It was too hard, I didn't have time, my body hurt, I didn't see immediate results, etc. My wife actually did quit right after the start of level two. But I didn't want to be the reason she gave up, so I kept going. Because of my weight it was so hard at the beginning. Those jumping jacks felt like they were destroying my knees! I could barely do half. And pushups? Ha! Barely able to do the ones on my knees. Because of tweaking my knee and shoulder I did have a total of four rest days during the program. But I did not plan on those. However, I was able to give much more effort after a rest day, so felt like some of those were worth it. I officially completed tonight. As of day 30 I could do all the jumping jacks(and tried to squeeze in a couple extra). I can do all the pushups from my feet(barely)! And my knees feel a thousand times better! Ive lost almost 15 lbs. During this past month. Sometimes the scale was slow to move but my body was changing. My stomach is flatter. My abs are peeking through. My arms toned up quite a bit. The scale may not show it but my clothes do, they fit much better. All in all, I am so grateful for finding a group who supported me and allowed me to show support as well. The past month was super hard, but now I'm on the other side seeing the benefits of my effort. So to those of you just starting out, keep posting! Keep supporting each other! And in no time you will be celebrating your success stories!
