Good morning! I like this one. I'm definitely guilty of wanting to be healthy and fit but not doing anything about it. But not anymore! I know I'm capable of getting to where I want to be and this time I'm going to actually accomplish my goal!!!

MFP is My Fitness Pal. What I did was use MFP to see what it recommended for me to eat. I don't manually add in 500 calories. Instead I use a food entry of breastfeeding that is in the database that subtracts 20 calories per oz that I pump. I think ladies that nurse might just manually change their daily calorie allowance…

Let us know what you think!

Me too! I thought it would be so hard at first but I love it! :)

Great job!

I'm doing 30 straight consecutive days. Days 2-5 were tough because I was sore. But once my body warmed up I was fine. It was the rest of the day I had trouble sitting and standing from the soreness in my thighs! Also I decided to get up 30 minutes earlier in the morning and do the work out because I thought this time of…

The DVD has three 20 minute workouts....level 1,2 and 3. It's circuit training. Each level has 3 circuits. Each circuit consists of 3 minutes of strength training then 2 minutes of cardio and one minute of abs. I think its tough but you don't want an easy work out if you really want results. It did get a little easier the…

I love quotes! Here are a few of my favorites. Challenges make life interesting, however, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. ~ Mark Twain "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." -Franklin D. Roosevelt “The time is always right to do what is right.” -Martin Luther King Jr “The trick is…

Today was my day 11. First day of level 2.

First day of level 2 today. Sweated my butt off. I stuck with it though. I had to modify a couple of the plank position moves but I think I like level 2. I was starting to get bored with level 1. Oh those squat - V arm raises...my shoulders were on fire! :)

Day 11: I took my measurements again and lost a 1/2 inch in waist and thighs. I've also lost a little over a 1 lb since starting the 30DS. :)

We can do this!

I'm starting level 2 on Thursday. Like the others I had soreness from day 2 through 4 or 5, mostly in my thighs. I worked through it. Once my body was warmed up I wasn't as sore. Good luck. Let us know how you do the first few days. If you want another friend feel free to add me. :)

Tomorrow is my day 10...first day of level 2. I'm going to take pics tonight and measurements. Way to go everyone! :)

Good for you! That is awesome!

Ha! Dont miss mine one bit :)

Friend request sent. Don't have a blackberry but I can support you through MFP. :). Good luck!

I also have a tumblr but its just random stuff I like. I will follow you. Here's mine: http://lovejcmboy.tumblr.com/

This sounds awesome! Thanks.

Here is my contribution to keeping us motivated today! Keep working hard everyone! :)

DVD by Jillian Michaels.

I've read on several boards to track it as circuit training and it figures based on your height and weight approximately how many calories you burn.

I look forward to your "daily shredder motivations" each morning!

I definitely get my water in every day. My breakfasts and dinners are usually really good and healthy. Sometimes going out to lunch with co-workers is tough. I've been choosing lower calorie and fat dishes but I'm learning the sodium is off the charts at some of these places. So I've been also trying to keep sodium and…

7+ Inches??? That is so awesome! :)

Haha...can't wait to see you in the dress (down a size)!!

My daily reminder that I can do what I set my mind to and I will be doing it this time around. :). Don't let yourself be your own worst enemy.

nicely put! :)

I think most women aren't completely happy with their body. I think the same thing when I look into the mirror about my belly, my flat *kitten* and my arms. I feel like I'm pretty good at buying clothes that hide the parts I'm not happy with until summer rolls around and I have to put on a bathing suit. :( I am also 5'4"…
