    Done with day 4! I feel myself getting stronger and I have more endurance already. I need to take measurements because I want to see the change not only in my weight, but in my size. Still hate the squat and press and I still have trouble doing the jumping jack/jumprope combo, but its getting easier!

    Day 4 done. I hate this but I keep Pushing on!!

    I want to know... Does anyone else curse Jillian Like a sailor the whole time or is it just me? :)

    MY MIL says every time Jillian says 400 Pound people can do jumping jacks, she says YEAH RIGHT to Jillian.

    Okay just finished my L1D4, not bad at all. if you stop at day 2 or 3 you will be in for it when you want to get back on track.. I am at day 4 and it is not bad at all, didnt wake up as sore, so I think my body is definiately adapting like jillian says it would. & I feel great... I feel a sense of accomplishment even though I am not completely done with the dvd. I love Jillian..

    So yesterday was supposed to be my day 2 but due to "stuff" i couldn't get a workout in before hubby came home. I did convince him to go for a walk though and we did a pretty brisk one for 1/2 hour so I guess that made up for it a little.

    Today is supposed to be day 3 and again I won't be able to do it because of personal commitments tonight...am i subconsciously sabotaging myself???? <<UGH>> I just want to do this!

    Maybe I'll try to wake up early tomorrow morning to do it...who else here does it in the AM?

    BUMP..Right on girl




    It is only 30 minutes long. This is how we get off track. We will take 30 minutes to watch tv, shop, get nails done, etc.... but we need to take 30 minutes and work on our health and fitness. We have to prioritize this. Good Luck and try to get you 30DS in!

    My youngest son is 14 and tall slim and athletic. He said mom your doing this wrong mom your doing that wrong.. So I fixed and kept on moving. Then I said you try it.. He said NO WAY LOL

    Mom can handle something his lil butt can't

    I think I need to do this a bit more spread out, My knees are not taking the bashing very well, and seem to need 2 days recovery in between.


    So I am sorry to say, I will continue with the 30DS, but will do it at my pace. I don't want to risk an injury that puts me off my feet.

    Understandable. But also be sure you are doing them right! I was doing them wrong and they were effecting my knees.. Now not so much. Pay attention to their technique. Best of luck

    I very much agree about the technique. my knees were getting hammered. Slowed it down and made sure my form was good, much better now!

    WHEW!! OMG, I AM FEELING SOOOO GOOD RIGHT NOW.. I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF JUST FINISHED L1D5, AND I HAVE TO SAY I AM ALREADY SEEING PROGRESS. I KNOW THEY SAY TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS EVERY 2-4 WEEKS, BUT I COULDNT WAIT TO SEE IF JILLIAN WAS DOING ANYTHING FOR ME. JUST TOOK MY MEASUREMENTS NOW & I HAVE ALREADY LOST
    HIPS- 1 in.
    WAIST- 1/2 in,
    NECK- 1/2 in.
    SO HANG IN THERE EVERYONE, SHE WILL CHANGE YOU. WHEN I FIRST STARTED I COULDNT EVEN DO 1 PUSH UP NOW I CAN KEEP UP WITH ME, BUT MODIFIED. HAHA.. EVEN WITH THE MODIFICATION I STILL LOST...YAY!!! I AM ON A EMOTIONAL HIGH..

    Way to go girl.. I too finished level 1 day 5 tonight. I also just took a round with the XBOX 360 Kinect Game Wipeout.. They really give Jillian a run for her money. I am SOOO outta breath. Legs feel like Jello.. Shame there is no adding that workout. They seem to favor the WII here but Kinect is better IMO

    So I have consistently done 30 DS and I am on Day 5, as of yesterday. Are you all doing it on the weekend too, or just week days. I planned on doing it everyday for 30 days straight, but I want to know for purposes of this challenge how y'all are doing it.

    I plan to do it straight God Willing. I think it will have more of an impact

    I didn't do my workout yesterday and I went way over my calories :grumble:

    Gotta get back on track today! I felt a little cranky yesterday without my workout!

    Well Jillian is done and I am so proud. It is really moving very well. I actually did 13 jumping jacks and 9 push ups each time.

    Just finished day 6.

    I'm still doing wall pushups, but I do them the entire time now! I still can't do the squat and press. I just squat and hold my arms at 90 degrees.

    I need to get something to take measurements with, I really think I have lost some inches already.

    I think so too!!! I am trying to wait and measure at the end of thirty days but my pants were falling off literally in the store this morning. Took all I could do to keep them on.

    Man, Jillian level 1 is beginning to get easier each time I do it...but I am done this morning L1D8. Level 2 looks a little harder. I looked at the dvd cause I like to look at the exercises before I do them, and I think I will be okay but we wont know until I hit level2 on thursday...

    I hope you recover quickly! Maybe try doing some punches and upper body things in the meantime!
