I shredded today! I'm not feeling well. My sinuses are killing me. I think all the commotion from my first week back at work has worn me out! I sooooo didn't want to workout today, but I did. I actually felt a little better afterwards. Life is so hectic with two kids! But I'm so determined to get this weight off. We are…

Yeah Jillian drives me crazy. "chop chop ladies" "isn't it buddy" "I could always just a good chest fly in my life" I also turn on music and turn her on low.

When are you starting? I think I'm on the fence right now. I think once I start getting used to fewer calories and get my eating habits under control, then I might actually be able to complete that type of challenge. I think if I would start now, I would just FAIL miserably. GL! Danielle

I shredded!!! I actually made it through all the bicycle crunches....I feel like I'm getting better at not stopping so much. :smile: Sending sleepy, good napping baby vibes your way today!! Danielle

Wow!! That is awesome. I am waiting to do my weigh in until it's been a whole week of working out. I didn't do so well on my diet for the first couple days, so we will see. Thanks for the encouragement. I can't wait to get all this extra weight off! Now, I'm going to push myself a little harder! Danielle

Welcome! I wish I would have started earlier than 8 weeks PP to start tracking. So good for you. Feel free to share what works and doesn't work for you. I could always use some diet tips. Danielle

My knees are a little sore too. I guess from all this extra weight on me isn't helping my knees! If it wasn't for you ladies I would have probably passed on some workouts too. Julie, that is awesome that you were able to do most of the workout. Dedication right there! You go! Cortycrazy- thanks for the encouragement!! Yes,…

I did it! Thank goodness for my DH cause he is doing it with me now. It is a little cramped at my mom's house, but I was able to do the workout. Today was my DH's first day and as we were leaving...wow my legs are sore. 30DS is a good workout! I crashed again on the bicycle crunches....hopefully I will be able to make it…

I love our vibrating chair too. I wish I would have had one with my DS. I think we just held him for the first 6 months of his life. haha!! Glad you were able to get your workout in everyone!!!

I shredded and it actually wasn't too bad. I'm having a hard time walking up and down the stairs, but I think working out has helped. I sort of crashed on the bicycle crunches, but I'll get there! Work is closed due to the snow storm so all the running around for nothing, but at least I can rest today!!! Danielle

Julie, hopefully your LO naps good for you to get a workout in. :smile:

Ok I finally shredded! I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I am still following Anita and I decided to use weights today. Yes, no rest days for this challenge. I think if you feel you need a rest, just take it a little easy during the workout. By working out everyday it shows you that you can do it and it jump starts…

Congratulations everyone! We made it past day one. I'm so proud of you ladies. Danielle

Last year when I did this I had a heart rate monitor chest strap with a watch and I burned 200 calories. My note to self is to make sure to go pee and have an empty bladder before working out. Hopefully I don't have a weak bladder my whole life. Danielle

Hey Ashley! I'm starting back to work this week too. Luckily, I have my own office so I'm closing my door during lunch and working out. There is just no time at night. I'm glad you joined the group. Danielle

I did it!!!!! I didn't use weights and Anita was my best friend. Haha Is it sad that chest flies without weights was my favorite part of the workout. I'm going to celebrate when I can touch my toes at the end of the workout for the stretches! Danielle

Yup same video for 10 days.

Have you taken your measurements? Sometimes you lose inches, but no pounds. Danielle

Even if you half *kitten* the workout, by just doing it every day you will notice a difference. I did this challenge with a group last year and once I was done some of us went on to do a 30 day ripped challenge and some did insanity challenge. I did insanity afterwards and I lost 40lbs in 3 months and then got pregnant! We…

My DH will be watching LO. Nap lengths are still unpredictable for us too.

25 minute workouts and yes just search 30 day shred on youtube.

Yes all three levels are available on Youtube.

30 DS workouts are around 25 minutes. I posted a seperate thread for all who want to start on March 1! Lets motivate each other...I probably wouldn't get going unless for you guys, so thanks in advance. Danielle

Thanks for the links! Danielle

Hey Julie! Do you want to start the 30DS challenge on March 1? It's nice to meet you and so glad you joined the MFP group!!! My other MFP group really helped keep me motivated. Danielle

Hello jlrosey! 30DS is Jillian Michaels workout DVD, you can find it on youtube for free. 30DS is just a jump start that I like to do cause I'm so out of shape there is NO way I can go straight back to doing Insanity. It's 25 minute workouts with three levels.I was going to do level 1 for 10 days and level 2 for the next…
