    So what time do you guys work out? I really would love to work out in the mornings, but I have ZERO energy then!

    I am super excited for a Monday as well!!

    *Brooke- I am a night work out fan, but then I can't sleep! I have been doing a boot camp at 5:30AM (3x a week) for a month now and know once I start working out I am fine and I feel great the rest of the day--- But getting up so EARLY! YUCK! My last day of boot camp is Friday... I am going to force myself to get in the habit of waking up early next week and doing 30DS every morning now... I may need some extra motivation next week for that! LOL! But untill then I will be doing my 30DS in the evenings, followed by a hot bath!

    I usually work out in the evening but want to switch to mornings. I used to get up and workout at 5:00 a.m. but can't seem to drag myself out of bed that early anymore. I need to try though because I am also doing C25k and I can only do that in the evenings. So if I want to stick with this challenge, I have to either do both in the evenings or get this one in in the a.m.

    I am a teacher too! Our first day of school was cancelled today :-(. So I had to "talk" myself into popping that dvd in. It is hard work for me, especially since I am larger (240 lbs). I HATE doing it, but feel sooo good when I am done for the day. I have started and stopped this process like 3 time already. I hope I can actually complete it this time!

    I workout in at 5 am before I go to work. HOWEVER, I want to actually wear my hair down this school year (I sweat a lot, and its hard to keep up with my hair), so I am going to have to do some evening workouts. I think I will do 30DS in the AM and C25K in the evenings (just like Puddles :-) ). I actully like to run (well jog) but it will be a challange for me to do it after a long day of work....but it may be what I need. :-) I love the energy that working out in the morning gives me too.

    I would like to join!!! I just finished P90X on Saturday and I am looking to start something new - but not as time consuming. 20 mins a day is perfect for right now. I actually did L1D1 yesterday - but I dont mind starting over. :wink: I started 30DS before P90X, but didnt make it through the whole thing. So, yesterday, i thought after surviving Tony Horton that Jillian would be a walk in the park - boy was I wrong. She still made me want to throw up at the end.

    I am 41 and proud mom of a 3 year old. I never had weight issues growing up, so these extra pounds I started packing on in my 30's were new to me. I think I was in denial of how big I had gotten. But you know how you see that one picture - and you just cant even believe it it you??? I got that in the park last Easter. It was a picture of my daughter but I was kinda in the background and I thought - who is that fat lady in the pink?? Then I realized - OMG - THAT'S ME. A coworker turned me on to MFP and I haven't looked back.

    I will take pics tonight. I would be happy to be part of this group. I am a great starter, but kind of a lousy finisher, so accountability is something I need.

    If it's not too late I would like to join. I was planning on starting 30DS (again) tonight after work. I've attempted it numerous times but I never completed the program. I would love to be able to do it for the full 30 days.

    Day 1 - done!

    I found I couldn't really get off the ground too well when I was skipping, but other than that it wasn't horrible. Already I found myself talking back to Jilly though!

    I'll be doing my workout tonight! I've been working on a little painting project in my house over the weekend and I HAVE to get it done soon or my husband might never let me do another one! :) Good luck to everyone!

    It's the 15th! Can't wait to shred tonight! I'm also doing c25k, so I'll be doing both. I think I'll do 30ds when I get home and c25k after dinner. Hope everyone gets it done. Good luck!!

    Welcome to all the people joining!!

    I am going to do my workout tonight. I was going to do it before lunch, but I searched the house for an hour for the remote and could never find it. After my hubby got home from work he found it right off the bat! I couldn't view my video without the remote because I am streaming it through VUDU on the TV. Anyways, I look forward to it tonight!!

    Yay! Good luck! I just did my 30DS and it definitely kicked my butt. Those jump ropes and bicycle crunches are the worst! Running later on tonight, so we'll see how that is, doing both in the same day.

    I definitely ran a little slower tonight. I have a tricky knee sometimes, and it started hurting again a couple of days ago. :frown: I thought I was going to just crumple from the pain when I ran...but I slowed waaaay down and managed to do my c25k. :D My knee didn't really hurt during 30DS, though...

    Hope I'm not too sore tomorrow! :laugh:

    Day two: Done!

    For some reason it was much harder than day one. I could barely get through it, but i'm glad I was able to sneak the workout in before my son woke up. Its a good start to the day :happy:

    Completed day on last night :noway: I haven't worked out in forever and it kicked my butt! I found jilian a bit annoying, now that I am aware of what exercises we will be doing I think I am going to play music instead of listening to her again.

    She is great though, btw are we all taking measurements and weight and reporting weekly or how is this going to work?
