You look great!! I can definitely see progress, you looked fine before, now you look amazing! Great job.

Doing the combo has been a little exhausting :) It is definitely doable and depends on your fitness level. Most of the time I did the shred first , then the c25k immediately following for a total workout time of about 45-50 minutes. For the first four weeks of the c25k it wasn't too hard to follow after the shred, since it…

Anyone done the last workout of week 5 yet for c25k? Its a 2 mile run....success/failure?

The 30 Day Shred is a Jillian Michaels workout DVD, there are 3 different levels of difficulty that you are supposed to do for 10 days each. It's a combination of strength moves, cardio and abs. The C25K = Couch to 5 K. A 9 week running/walking program to go from 'sitting on the couch' to running a 5k (3.12 miles) in 9…

Welcome to the group guys! Here is my progress: I have two days left of the 30 DS. Level 3 has been tough, but Jillian keeps it interesting. I'm definitely pouring sweat by the end of each workout! I struggle the most with the push ups and the planks, I guess I need to work on my upper body strength. But I already feel…

Thats awesome! I have finished week 3 of c25k and am on week 4. It does feel good to be able to run again. The more I do it the better I feel. It's exhausting trying to do both on some days. Sometimes I have been shredding in the morning before work and then running after work, that helps. I'm on day 5 of level 3 of the…

Change the first and last IMG to img. Here ya go. Congrats on your loss!

yeah its been hard with the 5 lbs, esp the v fly. i can really tell my shoulders are weak! but if i need to skip i rep, i dont worry about it as long as i do most of it. I'll get there eventually! Start W3D1 of my running today. I did L2D6 of Jillian this morning. Im so tempted to skip a day of the shred, but I havent yet…

sooooo, what is the answer!??! LOL

Just pick up where you left off and get back on track. I wouldn't feel bad for taking 1 or 2 days off as long as you continue and keep going. You can do it!

Can for sure see a difference in your back and thighs. Your stomach already looks skinny! LOL. What workouts are you doing?

I'm a 36D-38D and I LOVE the front zip under armour!! I find it works perfectly for running and jumping jacks. Its seriously the only bra where I dont bounce, which is not only painful but can cause booby saggyness

tdbernrd: Did you do Level 2 yet? You start today right? I just finished and man i was pouring sweat!! I loved it though, the planks are tough, but I know I need to work on my shoulder strength. Anytime there is a shoulder workout they burn like crazy. Since you don't like planks I wanted to see what you thought of level 2…

I would go with the xbox and kinect because then you can get a variety of workouts (keep you from getting bored and giving up) and you can get strength training and cardio in your workout. I know the biggest loser game will make you do things like lunges etc which will help you build muscle.

Amanda : Level 2 was harder than 1 I thought. Not just because I was tired from doing level 1 first, but because the moves are a little more challenging. I thought the walk out push ups/planks were difficult. I really need to work on my upper body strength! I have never been able to do more than a few push ups and have…

Yes , I did have the outer thigh pain. It was only for the first few times though. And I did kinda take two days off after day 6... :) I'm sure that helped with the leg pain/recovery. Now that I am on day 10 of the shred, I don't notice it anymore. It is definitely from the side lunges, I had never done them before nor…

So I kinda took 2 days off, oops. But I am still doing both the 30DS and C25K. I am starting Week 2 of the C25K today! And I am on day 9 of level 1 of 30DS. I really like the 30DS, I feel like my arms and legs are already getting stronger. AFter the first two days my legs hurt from the lunges, but now its getting easier. I…

Can't wait to wear smaller jeans that are just sitting in my closet!

I am a large D, used to always have that issue with running and jumping jacks. I finally found a sports bra that works, no bouncing what so ever. Its Under Armour, little pricy but works very well. Will definitely hold you in place. http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/pid1220231

You should definitely try the 30DS, it's quick and I felt results the next day. I'm on day 5 and level 1 is getting easier at this point. I log my exercise as Circuit Training (curves) just to get it to the right number of calories burned. If you google your question it states that people burn about 170 cals per workout ,…

ditto. If you drink coffee (which the mfp database states is 2 calories) then log it in your food diary and add it to your water log. Its technically both right?

How many calories is that anyway? I've seen the donut/hamburger thingy before, but not one covered in bacon!

We have a chocolate fountain at work today to celebrate valentines day. So of course I had some! 1/2 a banana, 1 marshmellow, 1 oreo, 1 mini glazed donut and 2 pretzel rods. I counted it all and it added up to about 450 calories, all of which I plan on burning off today with the 30DS and a light run. I haven't had dessert…

I can totally tell a difference! It's hard to see a change since you see yourself everyday. The pic's definitely help show progress which is great motivation to keep working out!

Just started the 30DS on Friday, but then didn't do day two or three yet....so I'll restart that today! Going to try and add the C25K today, heard its a great way to get started or back into running. Currently I've being doing about a mile a few times a week, but it's a struggle and I'd like to be able to enjoy it more.

Awesome! I hope to be that way someday with tank tops. I hate my arms and always wear t-shirts, even when super hot out.

Thats awesome!! Way to go , you look great!

If you feel hungry, I would suggest trying to fill up on good for you snacks that are low cal if you are close to your limit ( like veggies ) I like dipping my veggies in hummus, bell pepper and celery sticks are good fillers since they provide fiber and water. But since you feel weak, maybe you need a little bit of…
