I NEED MOTIVATION!! re-starting 30ds...

I started yesterday. Friend me if you like!!

I'm almost done with Level 2 but so having a hard time sticking with it. I swear I mentally talk myself out of it all the time. Only 3 more days of Lv 2 and then on to 3. I think half the problem is that I'm not seeing much change. Although my strength has increased a ton. IDK Just discouraged.

I keep saying I am going to restart the 30ds fell off track easter weekened and just havent been able to push myself into making time for it. Tonight there are no excuses (yet) so I am going to force myself to push play and do the work out.... that first step is the hardest.

I am restarting again too. I couldn't do level 2 last time because of the jumping but maybe by the time i get there this time

I know exactly how you're feeling! I lost 23 lbs last February into August, mostly doing WW and felt really good about myself for the first time in years. Since I'm usually way more active in the summer, I didn't really add much exercise into my routine. And with 2 young kids, I run around *plenty* throughout the day. I was doing fairly well at maintaining my weight loss....until the holidays! I quit counting points as a "reward" to myself and allowed myself to eat all the holiday goodies that came my way. Over the last 2-3 months, I've managed to gain 10 of the 23 lbs I lost back and I am not a happy camper!!! I just joined myfitnesspal yesterday and started the 30 day shred. I'm feeling it today!! It's hard for me, even on level 1, and I can see how one could lose and tone up very quickly on by doing this video. But I think it's a great workout and love that it's only 20-30 mins. It's a bad *kitten* 20-30 mins but hey, noone ever said it would be easy. Keep up the good work! You can do this!

I am starting the 30ds tonight, I wanted to meet this goal by my birthday - May 19th. Feel free to add me...

I did day 3 today. I have restarted a few times (I think I got to day 19 or 20) Feel Free to add me and we can keep eachother gooooooooooing!

There are so many success stories out here about this DVD and I have tried it on and off for the past year. I realized that when I stick with it for a week or so I see a difference in my body. You guys have motivated me so much that I will definitely start tomorrow morning. Please add me. I'm IN!!!!

Hang in there, you'll see results if you stick with it. It really is a mental thing. I seem to notice as I go through the Levels that there are phases I hit as I progress.

Day 1 - That was really hard, I'm not sure I can do this.

Day 2 - Crap, I don't really want to do this but I'll try.

Day 3 - Huh, that wasn't too bad, I did all the moves.

Days 4-6 - Shut the F*** up Jillian! Is that all you got? You're not going to beat me.

Days 6-10 - Bring it b****!

HAHA! Oh my gosh, I'm on Day 8 and I swear I had every one of those thoughts along the way. I have a Facebook weightloss group, and last week I was posting on there that I wanted to choke Jillian...then yesterday I was posting a motivational quote from her.

I have done it a few times myself. My favorite way of doing the 30 DS is to do a different level everyday. I KNOW that is not how it is intended to be done technically but I felt like my body didnt get as much out of it doing the same workout for 10 days. The first time I did it, I did it right- 10 days on each level. The second time I did about 1 week at level 1 and then 2 on level 2 and finished up with level 3. The 3rd time I did 30 days was a different level everyday. I felt like I got the best workout that month! I will say that my joints and knees never hurt anymore and haven't since about 3 weeks into the video my first go around with it which was last fall. I still do the video a few times a week every single week in addition to dancing and walking and biking....the video alone is a great workout though!

I am going to restart this tomorrow morning. i have started it so many times and quit. This time I am not quitting. I have to do this!
