    Well today day 8 did not get done! I still have that pain in my lower abdomen:sick: . (Please dont be hernias) I called the doc today and they will see me on tuesday so we will see. If I get this pain to go away I will finish up although now it feels dumb just to finish those last 3 days:angry: ! Ugh so mad at my body right now:grumble:

    Anyway, I tried to do a plank today to see if I should call the doc or not and sure enough I still cant hold the plank without pain.....I wonder if I should go running in the mean time???:frown:

    I HATE RUNNING BY THE WAY LOL! But I have to burn calories somehow! Does Killer Buns and thighs have a lot of abdominal work? Maybe I should give that a try! This is driving me crazy....can you tell!???

    I'd take it easy if I were you as you don't know the source of your pain and you don't want to add to it!
    I think if it were a hernia you'd probably be aware of it, it may be a bad muscle strain.
    My advice is wait to see the doctor and in the mean time stick to your healthy eating and maybe do a fair bit of walking as there really isn't too many exercises you can do without using your abs and the same time. :)

    I know you are absolutely right. You know I never thought I would say this but I feel like I NEED to workout! I feel so sluggish without it! My husband told me the same last night. He said: "You should just relax, and stop working out for a few days." Those words felt like slaps accross the face! LOL!! Who would have thought I would miss working out...especially with Jillian LOL!

    Killer does some ab work but not major!! More uses the core for stability and that is all. I do know that Killer does swimmers but that is I believe the hardest ab part.... and those are more back core muscles! You might try it!!

    That is really good to know. I am probably going to wait till monday andsee how I feel. If I am better then I will start this up until March 5th when Ill start ripped in 30! (I Hope). Hope the doc doesnt think otherwise on tuesday!!
  • Me Too!! I want you to be able to finish this with me!! I feel like you and I are the only ones here! :cry: I did lose a pound and a half in spite of upping the calories so... I feel a bit stronger! Now to see a few more inches disappear off the hips and thighs. Really I guess we should be amazed that I have lost six inches in 20 days! I have never done that before! I am being really unrealistic when I am disappointed and want more! We go home at the end of the week so ... I always want to look better than I do!

    Im here and still going strong too! Along with quite a few others :smile:
  • So glad you are here too!! You have been so quiet!! LOL I need encouragement! I am fighting for this health and fitness stuff as it is what I can control. The other battle in my life is through the courts and seems to have very little to do with fair, right, and totally annihilates my 14 almost 15 year old sons rights. I am so scared that I will lose on Tuesday! My son needs your prayers!

    I'm here, but not on level 3 yet! I've been cheering you guys on! I'll be on level 3 before too long.

    I don't remember what day I'm on...how nuts is that?! I think I just finished level 2 day 9, but I need to go back and count. LOl

    Anyway, you guys are doing great!
  • LOL I forgot too!! I had to mis a day here and there because i guess I was not eating enough and felt so weak that I was struggling with level one!! Feeling better though!! Did level three but... missed a few especially the jumping circuit- just had such cramps in my feet! But Love the fact that I am feeling it a bit about the middle and the stubborn love handles!!

    actually, I did level 2 day 8 today, just like going from level 1 to 2, I'm a little afraid of level 3. I won't look at it until it's time to change over.
  • Me Too!! I want you to be able to finish this with me!! I feel like you and I are the only ones here! :cry:

    I'm still here too, Day 3 Level 3! I just don't have a lot of time to post lately.

    I just want to say I hate level 3. With a passion :grumble:

    Level 2 appeals to me a lot more i think. I've also just bought Banish fat, Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zones so I think when finished i will alternate those with Level 2, as i really enjoyed it!

    H!! So when you do these new DVD's will you let me know which you like and why?? I want to get one of them but like you I prefer level two and some parts of level three! I just can't do all the jumping! Especially the one segment that she does those rockstar jumps?? I get cramps in my feet and the house sounds like it is falling down!! LOL

    I bought killer buns and thighs and I do really like it ! I have only done the first level because I do it after the shred but,.... It doesn't have to much jumping!

    I completed Level 3 Day 5 today! Five more days to go! Since I will finish before the end of the month, I plan to alternate the levels until February 29. On March 1, I plan to start Ripped in 30.

    I got Banish Fat boost metabolism and no more trouble zone. I am going to rotate those because BFBM is Cardio and NMTZ is more strength no cardio....... hope this helps!

    I thought the same thing. I think level 3 is my favorite though. Only four more workouts for me!!

    I just realized that I never made an update on my final measurements so here goes:


    Height: 5' 3"

    Start of 30DS:
    weight: 146.8
    Natural Waist: 30.5
    Wait at Belly Button: 36
    Hips: 41
    Chest: 36.5
    Thighs: 22.5

    After 30DS:
    weight 142 (-4.8)
    Natural Waist: 29 (-1.5)
    Waist at Belly Button: 33 (-3)
    Hips: 39.5 (-1.5)
    Chest:35.5 (-1)
    Thighs: 22.5 (same)

    Total lost: 7 inches and 4.8 lbs


    Although I didn't loose as much as I would have liked, it is a loss and these are inches off of my body! I am going to be moving forward and I am going to alternate between Jillian Michael's Burn fat Boost Metabolism and No more Trouble Zones. I will do that for a month straight and will see where I am at at the end of March!

    Good luck everyone!

    I started level 3 last night! I don't know if it's because I hated level 2 or what, but I loved level 3! Kicked my butt and had me dripping with sweat, but it felt good.

    Girl I loved level 3!!! By that last circuit I was drenched! I would do level 3 for 30 days any time!!!!

    I finished 30 Day Shred on yesterday. I lost 6 pounds and 8 inches (-2 from chest, -3 from waist, and -3 from hips)!
  • Gah, failing miserably on Level 3, I haven't done it since Thursday! There are so many things I could use as excuses, but to be honest, I'm just finding it hard to make myself do it.
    It's so stupid how I could get through level 1 and 2 so easily, but I'm so stuck on Level 3 :(

    I did level 3 day 6 last evening! Woohoo!

    Also, guess what?!? I haven't lost a lot of weight, but I have lost inches. I took a chance and got some pants out of my closet that I haven't worn in almost a year and they FIT!!

    Last time I tried them on, the zipper was stretched wide open and feeling like it was going to rip apart. Same pants, went on and buttoned/zipped with no problem today.

    Thanks for reading!

    Great job everyone. I guess what they say is true take pictures!! The scale didn't move much, but my body has changed drastically. I have lost at least two jean sizes(14w/ jiggly thighs to 10 w/ thighs of steel) . I can wear clothes i haven't in a long time & I actually had to buy new workout clothes. we're talking from an XL to a M

    But my favorite part of the 30ds & most surprising thing is the flexibility in my legs has increased drastically. Thank you lunges & squats. :drinker:

    Oh, And I :heart: planks, my core has always been strong, but this move defiantly helped to bring those muscles back to before baby center. (moms, you know what i mean)
