  • What the heck! It would be a first but I am game to see how far I get!
  • Woo hoo! Made it to Level 2 Day 4... still sweating up a storm but every day gets better!
  • I also have experienced some knee discomfort. I am now using a lightweight Ace knee support to help with the impact that I am not used to doing anymore. That seems to have stopped further pain and I am more comfortable even doing jumping jacks now. I am staying away from the high impact stuff until I get a bit stronger…
  • I also upped my protein but have no idea about what my carbs should be. Still learning how to tweak this stuff to really fit my personal needs.
  • Funny.. I just picked one up to try today! They looked healthy enough. My other favorite is Tiger's Milk Protien bars. They are a little highre in calories but I really have gotten the benefit from them as a post-workout snack!
  • Something I might need to look into as well. maybe by 100 calories a week to see if there is a difference. It has been a month for me too and I am working harder than ever on my cardio and workouts and still only 2 pounds on my last weigh-in. Next weigh in is tomorrow morning and I am going to check against measurements as…
  • I am on Day 2 of Level 2.... I want Level 1 again!! LOL Be prepared but it is sooo worth it!
  • Day 2 Level 2 completed - This one is definitely a rough one! I am NOT good with planks! I am getting one heck of a workout though and I think I sweated mopre from this one than the first couple of days of Level 1..lol. Eight more days on this one.. but I am determined to make it! Good luck everyone!
  • I try not to torture myself by not eating the things I really enjoy and sometimes crave BUT, I do figure them into my daily diet and try to add extra minutes to my workout to make up for the calories..(i.e., 1 cup of ice cream = 280 calories = 30 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0 incline.....) then I have the control when I…
  • 30DS is basically considered Circuit Training or Calisthetics.. (both burn about the same calories for the 20 minute workout). Most people advise to get a heart monitor to get a more personal accout for what is not in the Exercise Database. I bought one but still haven't figured out allits features so I'm winging it with…
  • Give it 30 days starting Oct 1! Then you can see how you do! I love it and do in in conjunction with my Turbo Jam and cardio, it fits in great... tomorrow I start Level 2...wish me luck!
  • Amazing how much easier this is now...thinking of bumping up my wts a bit....anyone else? Only 3 more days of level one!
  • Bumping! Sounds great!
  • For anyone trying to figure out how to log this... I was advised on another message page to use Circuit Training - at about 25 minutes burns approx 251 calories. I also noted in looking up exercises that there is a selection for Calesthetics - vigorous that also burns 251 calories for 25 minutes. I think 30DS fits either…
  • I'm in.. just one day ahead.. I started on the 19th but I'll hang in there! Already found muscles I hadn't used in a while! LOL
  • I have the same problem! NOT a morning person!!! Although I do benefit from being a "night owl" so I tend to get a 2nd wind after everyone else goes to bed. I would like to find a way of getting motivated early in the morning as well, hopefully someone has some tips or advice! :wink:
  • Less than a week here too but loving it so far!
  • I had trouble getting to the gym at all so I did eventually find some programs that I could commit to at home when everyone went to bed and I could work out as long as I wanted or need to.
  • WOW - I think I would go nuts without my carbs! LOL I NEED my carbs and of course, these could very well be my biggest downfall (well, sugar could be worse) but I am learning that there are good carbs that you can make work for you as well. The earlier in the day you eat the bulk of your carbs means that your body has a…
  • I have never gotten "thrilled" over exercise but I am determined to find something that works for me this time! I think I have finally found some cardio routines that I can enjoy (the music as well) and I am going to keep rotating my short cardio so I don't get bored with it. I love the TurboJam 20-Minute Workout and I…
  • I am with you... I will be tickled to get down to 150's and then re-evaluate. I was in the 125-130 range out of high school but I really don't know if I feel it necessary to get that skinny again even with a small frame. I think a secondary goal for me will reasonably be in the 140 area. I am taking baby steps this tima…
  • Just make sure you are eating the good carbs if you can! Check out "The Carb-Lovers Diet" for some great information on which carbs you can really benefit from. I know that if I don't get enough carbs and starch my body tends to get into "starvation mode" in a heartbeat and I won't lose a pound! This has really helped me…
  • I haven't tried the Cardio party in a while but I have had a harder time committing to the longer programs with my current schedule... then I lose interest in making the time for them... so I am trying to keep to the shorter programs that I can fit in at different times if I need to or can slip in an extra workout. Let me…
  • I am using Turbo Jam (20-minute workout) and I am waiitng for my new disk for Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred so I can alternate them, and I have a treadmill to fill in some gaps if I need to as well.. My goal is 20 lbs (90% belly) in about 6 weeks. I am on Day 3 right now and finding out just how out of shape I am…
  • OK.. might br a little slow here but what the heck is the "bump" all about? lol
  • Does anyboyd want to buy my Zumba discs? I am not fond of this set at all, brand new kit with wts, make me an offer! Perfect condition!
