Planks make me want to cry...

I'm on day 9 of circuit 2. I'm sooooo bored with it now, but am determined to finish it this time as I started level one about 12 times! I'm still quite heavy and find it difficult to do some of the exercises - the walk out push ups in level 2 are still so hard! This would be my biggest piece of advice - just modify what…

Fab! Thank you.x

Bump. No help at all though, sorry! :wink:

It does hurt my knees: the first time I ever tried 30ds they were awful! Now I have re-started it (about 4 times cos I get so bored of it!) they aren't so bad, but I do get awful griding in my knees still on the front lunges. Lots of people say it's best to do it every other day. The warm up/cool down Jillian does is…

I'd up your weights. I thought it wasn't that bad until I bought some decent dumbells. Ouch...

I'll add you! Always nice to have someone else to talk to and share advice with on here!x

I have had plenty of horrible things said over the years (though it did stop at school after punching the biggest boy square in the face when I was in Year 7!), but I think the thing that makes me most angry is what people are saying now: 'Ooh, you look so much better now, you looked awful before. You've still got a long…

Thanks to my exercise I indulged in Cadbury Philadelphia on wholemeal toast. Mmm...

Pizza. From Dominos. Or maybe Papa Johns. Or both... The tortilla wraps as a base I had yesterday were fine, but not the same. Not at all. And a cheese board. Just little tastes of a beautiful variety of cheeses. Mmmm.... And a baguette. Filled with something very unhealthy: perhaps brie and cranberry or egg mayo... And a…

Glad it's not just me then!

'I can always use a good chest fly in my life' Not at all inspirational, but I always end up saying it along with her in a slightly mocking tone. That line really irritaes me and I don't know why!

Ah, this confused me until I googled it. We like to call it the twernt. As in: if 'tweren't there, your insides would fall out. Classy.

The last strength bit - the chest flies are fine, but the arm raises are just vile! And the push ups...oh God the push ups... I hate Jillian, but I also love her for making me do these things!:wink:

It's a funny old world isn't? I found exactly the opposite! WW just didn't work for me mentally. That whole saving up my points thing made me binge horribly at weekends! I discovered that I could save enough for a bottle of wine, some chocolate and a Dominos pizza on a Saturday! lol. I did lose weight, but didn't feel that…

bump...sounds absolutely amazing!

I love Taebo! Billy Blanks is a legend!

Started the 30DS today - I'm in!

You don't have to cut these out at all. Even if you do take sugar that's fine, as long as you build it all in to your daily allowance. I have lost 36lbs in 3 months using MFP. I maybe do not eat as 'clean' as other people, but I have found a balance which is completely sustainable for me. In the past I have tried lots of…

Bump... And massive congrats on your weight loss! Amazing!x

I am exactly the same. Can work out on any other machine/do any class for an hour or two/do any other exercise, but I still CANNOT run! My OH is able to run now, but I still can't. It's so frustrating! I do sometimes wonder if it's all in my head, but my lungs tell me otherwise! Maybe the inhaler is actually just a…

I plan to start this (again) tomorrow! I think my problem is that I get bored after 10 days, but can't do all of the exercises in level 2 so don't feel like I can progress to that. The one where you walk your hands down, do a press up and walk them back up is just a bit much for me! Think this time I'll just progress and…

Yesterday I discovered that I have collarbones! I don't think I've EVER seen them before! Chuffed!

Hi, I'm Danielle from Warwickshire. Feel free to add me! Always fab to make new friends! Good luck with your journey! Won't be long before you're noticing a massive difference in yourself!x :smile:

Feel free to add me if you want a quick peek at what I have every day - my diary is open and I have 1200 per day. Unless it's an exercise day, then I can sneak a couple of treats!

I have tried WW on numerous occasions. I have always lost a stone and half, then kind of lost my way. I have never, ever lost this much weight and still been able to keep on track! WW completely took over my life. It made me a boring, points obsessed loser. My lifestyle was so unhealthy too - I would always save as many…

Cadbury philadelphia! It's amazing. Great chocolate hit for not many calories. If you're going to be (or at least feel like you're being) a bit more naughty you could have a caramel bunny - only 100 cals each! Feels like a real treat. Velvet crunch (as have been mentioned by lots of other people) are the favourites in our…
