What makes you, you?
Just those weird quirks we all have! -I can't deal with anyone touching my toothbrush ever. Not even the handle, not even to move it. I will throw it away and grab a new one, I have several in supply. -I will not eat the part you hold of a sandwich. Even if I'm still hungry, I'll make another and trash that piece that I…

Other workout dvds
Hi there, I am newer to mfp and about halfway through 30ds (working through level 2 now). I don't have a lot of money for workout dvds which is why I chose Jillian Michaels, her dvds are super cheap on amazon. I like 30ds too, I find they are challenging and I really feel like I get a good workout. On top of 30ds I also do…

Has anyone else had a weight gain whilst doing 30 DS?
Hi all Just wondering if anyone has had a gain whilst doing the 30ds? I have done it religiously for 12 days straight (usually at 6am) I am on day 2 of level 2 and this morning when I hopped on the scales, I have gained 1 pound. I know it's not a lot but I really expected to see the numbers go down. Don't get me wrong I…

Level 2
OH MY......... And I thought level 1 was tough :noway: I feel sick but I did the non modified moves. I stopped alot, but I feel like if I can do non modified moves and take breaks I will get more out of it than doing the modified moves. How are we all doing tonight?

I Made Some Changes
Hey all! Just finished up day thirteen. I am on level two, and have been for about five days now. However, I noticed that I've gone from looking forward to the workout to dreading it. I am much happier going out for a run, going to the gym or doing my own core work. I know Jillian's talks by heart. I actually took two days…

NEW PLAN
Alright after last week being such a damn bust, with going back to work and all, I have devised a plan!! YAY ME! :drinker: Actually, hubby and I have devised a plan. Though its not ideal, it seems doable. :huh: 1) I'm going to scratch my 2 mile morning runs. I MAY still run them on the weekends, not sure yet. 2) MWF- hubby…

We are more then a pretty face, what do you do?
Just curious about maybe getting to know some of you better. I like to get close to people I chat with on a daily basis. So what do you do? Stay at home super mom? Amazingly patient teacher? Nine to five pencil pusher? Any hobbies? What else do you do beside let Jillian stress you out? Me.. I'm a mostly happily (he has his…

What do you eat?
1) Do you eat back calories burned for your total? 2) Do you eat more protein than usual (or more carbs)? 3) Are there certain foods you should eat either before or after a workout to maximize effectiveness? I got my 30 Day Shred DVD from the library, so I don't know if it was supposed to come with any sort of nutrition…

I am doing level 1 in the 30 day shred I was just wondering what do people log it as for those doing the 30 day shred me for example I log it as aerobics-low intensity as I have just heard some people log it as circuit training

Weird NSV today :-)
So you all know this week has been an epic fail for me in the grand scheme of the summer. Going back to work has kicked me in the rear, like it always does, and once school starts up, I always abandon exercise and healthy eating. I AM ADD, if you hadn't noticed..... Oh look, a PUPPY!! Ok where was I?? Ummm........ Oh yea,…

Only thing is I've bin fine until day 9 then suddenly evertime I do a jumping jack or imaginary jump rope thingy I get upper back pain, it stops the instant I stop jumping.... Have I injured myself or…

30DS Music
Lately I've noticed that the music from Level 1 stays in my brain all day and that I'm humming it and hearing it all the time...has anyone else had this happen? I am kind of weirded out, especially since I do the DVD every other day :laugh:

30DS, move up to L2 or not? (Also, hello!)
New here! Hi everyone :) I started doing 30DS 9 days ago and I'm debating whether to move up to level 2 or not. When I started I could barely get through any of the moves but now it's just the squat-presses and the pushups I have trouble with. I can almost get through the squat-presses, but I'm nowhere near there on the…

Taking a Break..... :'(
Last year I was diagnosed with mild Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. Its basically carpal tunnel but in my feet. It hasnt bothered me in a long while, but over the last 5 days it has been bothering me again. The insides of my ankles hurt and are almost sore to the touch. My feet are tingling and going from like they are feeling hot…

Newbie - Exercise substitutions?
Hi! I've just started doing 30DS and I thought it might be an idea if we made a list of exercises that you can do instead of the ones that Jillian tells you to, but which do a similar thing. For example, I absolutely cannot do the reverse crunches in Level 1, where you raise your bum off the floor. I'm not really sure that…

BFBM and NMTZ

I have been on this 30 day shred for about 18 days and am just now hearing about Jillian's diet plan that we were supposed to be following while doing 30 day shred. Anyone else find out kinda late in the program?

Day Seven baby! I owned it!
Wow...I don't know where all that power and energy came from today but I was a power house! I put Jillian to shame on those punches in the cardio and I even got through the whole end with the bicycle crunches! I feel amazing right now! I can't wait to carry on to day ten and take some progress pics and measurements! I'm…

Started level 2!
I didn't finish level 1 because I was not feeling challenged. Well. That has changed in level 2!! Woowweeeee!!!!! Killer! Took lots of breaks though. Some to watch how to do the move. Some because my shoes were slipping during the plank moves. Can I just tell you how much those suck btw!!!!! Ugh! Anyone notice how the…

Day 9 (30 Day Shred)
Forgive me I couldn't find the topic for this. Anyway! Day 9 for me has been much much better than the others. I really needed the rest day I had yesterday both mentally and physically. I am only just about able to make it through the first cardio section of level 1. I had to stop because I forgot to turn the fan on and…

Finishing up Level One this Week!!
Yes I know that means I get no rest days but honestly I feel better when I exercise daily and the shred isn't that much. So everyday at 7pm, I'm going to be a shredder! This post is for accountability mostly. Start yelling if you see me slack, I give you permission.
