I really injured my knees during 30 DS. It took a couple weeks to get my knees back to normal. But, I would and should do the 30DS again! I would modify some of the excercises or use a lighter weight the next time around. I used 8 lb weights.

Same here, glad the next challenge hasn't quite started yet! Any thoughts of when we will start up?

Congratulations to everyone! :drinker: And, thank you inskydiamonds! :flowerforyou: I really fell off the wagon in August, but I'm looking forward to the Fall challenge! FW: 134 Any updates when the next challenge will begin and do we just check this thread?

Oops, I took Monday off work and so I've been off a day this week. CW: 133.8 up .8 and same statement as last time. I have not been giving 100%, so what should I expect?! I'm really looking forward to our next challenge! I think it's easier in the fall to be more focus. Good luck to all! You're doing a great job!

Still at 133. I was not putting in 100%, actually surprised the scale didn't show it. Have a great week everyone!

CW: 133.0 Only a .2 loss but hey better than the other direction! Great job to all, some of you are really seeing some great progress! Your hardwork is paying off! :flowerforyou:

I haven't checked-in, in awhile. I'm still shredding but when I hit level 3, which I actually enjoy, I've kinda lost interest. I'm skipping a day or 2 at a time. I'm not sure what day I'm on! So, I'm resetting the counter back to day 1 of level 3!

CW: 133.2 .4 loss, but in the right direction. I'll take it! I did pretty good on the fruit/veggies. I could not pick a neglected body part except choosing the entire body! As far as encouraging weight loss,I looked into which workout video I would like to try next. Anyone here tried "Turbo Jam" ? Or I seen Women's Health…

Congratulations inskydiamonds & thank you! Great job to all!

CW: 133.2 (1.3 loss) I increased my water, and I think that helped my weight loss, because I fell of the excersice wagon over the weekend and haven't climbed back on! I read where you should be drinking half of your weight. So, I should be consuming about 67 oz. :drinker: Sodium- that's generally not a problem. Extra 50…

I didn't shred all weekend.:grumble: Jammed packed weekend, but no excuses! Is Turbo Jam a 30 min workout? Any equipment needed?

Ditto! I'm ready for a repeat round too! Going over in calories + vacation has not given me the results I was hoping to see. I start level 3 tomorrow and I've done better on eating this week, perhaps the final 10 days will pay off!

Finished Day 19 (level 2) last night! Skipped another day due to the heat and no a/c. I'll wrap up level 2 tonight! I'm noticing some definition in my arms! yeah! I took measurements in the beginning. Kinda regreting not taking any pics. Scale went up, but I was also on vacation last week. Continued to shred most of the…

I totally agree on the temps. This high heat = little motivation. Michigan will start to see a relief today, can't wait! Hope the same for you!

CW: 134.5 (gained) Back from vacation... I did great the first half of the week and not so much the last half. Too much wine & beer tasting, plus yummy dinners! Time to get back on track! And, yes I'm enjoying the challenges! I hope to get it in gear these last few weeks and get the scale moving in the right direction. I…

Finished Day 18 (level 2) this morning. Missed 2 days over the weekend, due to being out of town. Wow, tough to get started again! 2 more days until level 3, this has gone by so fast!

I was thinking of going into either "ripped in 30" or "shed or shred" What I read, ripped in 30 had great reviews, and shed/shred is kinda a mess. What is beachbody? I might be interested!

Tomorrow will be day 15...yeah! What excercises does everyone hate in level 2? I totally dread the pendulum lunges and all of the strength of circuit 3. But, I enjoy the cardio and abs of the 3rd circuit. Well, maybe not "enjoy" but it gets me throught the strength piece! Anyone seeing big changes on the scale or…

I'm checking in early, getting ready to walk out the door for vacation and won't have internet most of the time. CW:133 Up a tad, started 30 DS and read it's common to gain a little in the beginning.(??) I'm on day 12, so hopefully the scale starts dropping here soon! Have a great week everyone!

Level 2,Day 12 done this morning. Just getting ready to head on vacation. Packing 30 DS! Hopefully, I'll stick with it everyday! Have a great week everyone!

I'm hearing ya, loud & clear! An appearance of a 30 lb loss would be amazing!!! Roar!

I skipped yesterday, way too hot in my house! Still warm this morning but I got up early and tackled day 1 of Level 2. I was so out of breath I couldn't believe it!! I sure wish that scale would start moving in the right direction!

Can't wait to hear/see everyone's results! I finished level 1, day 8 this morning. Level 2 approaching.....

SW: 136 CW 132.8 Stayed the same...frustrating! Started 30 DS last week,currently on day 7. So, I definitely got my push-ups in! I could have done a lot better job on eating though. Good week, bad weekend. Plus, I need to add more cardio in additon to Jillian kicking my butt! Best of luck to all! Happy 4th! Skip those…

Completed day 6, level 1 this morning. I was gone all day on Saturday and felt so guilty about skipping a day! So, both Sunday and this morning I got up early to make sure I had "no excuses" !!!! I still feel a little sore in my legs and hips but definitly feeling a little more toned. I hope I'm prepared for level 2 in a…

Finished day 5 level 1. For some reason it seemed really hard tonight. I'm hoping it's because I'm burning through another layer of fat! Plus, I was hungry today, went over in calories but ate healthy. Maybe a sign the scale will be dropping??!!

Finshed Day 4, level one last night~ in this awful heat! ugh. Anterior raises with side lunges SUCK! LOL! I like the chest flies the best too. I actually add a little twist of the wrist,so your pinky fingers almost touch when meeting above your chest. Learned that from one of the Biggest Loser DVD's. Just gives that little…

I agree. I tried Jillian's Protein Shake and felt bloated to the point of pain. (And, I tolerate dairy just fine) As soon as I stopped, I was much better. Now, I eat my protein rather than through a straw. Good luck!
