I think it may have added benefits by keeping your heart rate elevated longer during the day if it's split up. But it would need to exclude any cool down or warmup time... no easing into it. Overall, I think that to get the same impact as 30 mins straight it may actually take longer as you should do a min or two before the…

Yes, I was going to say the same as the other posters - you look so young and fresh. Absolutely noticeable in your face. Way to go with your progress so far, and best of luck for continued success!

Hi all, I just wanted to update you on what I've been up to this month with the program. I found it is also hard on the knees, especially level 2. I did 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2, and am in the 10 days of level 3 to get me to the end of the month. For level 1 I did it every day, but after doing it for 9 days…

I agree with others that you need more information to lose weight. You need to know how many calories you burn each day, then you will know how much you can eat. I would try fat2fitradio.com, click 'All Calculators' to get your 'Military body fat %', then once that is known click on BMR Calculators and follow the…

I can help you. You need to stop being comfortable. You need to make the decision each day that you will do something better for yourself. You need to make choices with each meal that are better for you than the alternative. One at a time. One meal, one workout, one day. At the end of each day you need to congratulate…

I am also planning on starting June 1st, so I'm in!

I was planning to start 30DS on June 1st and finish on June 30th. Want to do the same?

Depends on how ready you are for this. You've got to let go of everything you've done wrong in the past with respect to eating and exercising. All those wrongs are gone and done with and this is the new you and a new start. Starting today you are going to make the right choices. It's one a time... one meal, one exercise,…

Good for you! It keeps your body guessing. Look up 'Calorie Cycling' on google and read up.

It depends on whether you are going to log all those extra exercises... such as housecleaning, walking, workouts, etc. If you want to log those activities, I would set you as Sedentary and log the activities. If you did not want to log those, I would put you at lightly active, and then only log the activities that are in…

My opinion is that you need more information about your body and you need to try switching it up a bit. I would start by visiting fat2fitradio.com, click on 'All Calculators' and do the 'Military Body Fat' calculator to get your body fat % (this is a great success measure to use rather than weight). After you have your…

Hi! I'm a mom of 3 boys (8, 4 and 6mos). I work out 6 days a week by scheduling it in. After the oldest is gone to school, baby is fed and put into crib, and the 4 year old comes down with me and plays while I do a JM workout. I keep the workouts to 30minutes (thank you JM for that!) then go up and shower. It works out…

He at least needs to make the motion like he's going to pay!

You are where I was 9 years ago. I found out I was pregnant in February of my 2nd year of university. I had my beautiful baby boy, and left my boyfriend when my son was 6 months old. I did it on my own while finishing my last two years of university. I was able to get a spot in subsidized daycare during the day, tried to…

Fabulous, your arm is looking toned and slender!

You are beautiful. You are an inspiration. Thank you.

It never completely goes. I make an effort to eat enough during the day so I never feel starved, and I give in once in a while. Sometimes it helps to just go to bed.

Great idea! Feel free to add me (if I don't add you first!) I'm a mom of three boys (youngest is 5mos) and I'm looking to finally get into the best shape of my life. :)

There is no problem weighing every day. Those that weigh everyday tend to track their weight. It's possible to track weight gain against net calories for example using a graph, to see if there are trends. However, you should only COMPARE at least weekly, not daily. If you weigh yourself daily, compare your weight to the…

I'm sorry but you look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! Good for you, your body is amazing. Whatever imperfections you see do not translate through my comp monitor!

That scale is not going to tell you anything you don't already know. You will realize it when you see that number. Either way you need to know, you need to move on. Go do it!

Generally speaking, for a girl, I don`t think you will be starving at 1800. I would say go for it. My net daily caloric goal is currently at 1750. I am 5`7`` and losing weight steadily at this.

Perhaps I'm closer to 5'8"... my goal is to hit 148, but seems high after reading this.

Eat 'em up. Please net at least your daily caloric allowance. Do not give your body the chance to starve itself. If you exercise, it is a bonus. If you build muscle, even better. Whenever you lose 5 lbs, re-evaluate your goals.

Excellent. Thank you. I think you should be keeping your calories at about 1300 per day, based on your height and goals. And definitely be sure to eat enough (/more) protein. It helps to fuel your body and build muscle to keep your body burning cals even at rest. What kind of exercise do you do right now, if any?

My only thought is that you need to eat to at least your daily goal, and then TRY to eat at least 50% of your exercise cals. I feel that especially since you are on a vegan diet, you need to ensure you body is getting all the calories it needs to support. Are you able to provide your basic stats - like height, current…

I can relate to you. Losing weight becomes all-encompassing, it is all that consumes your thoughts any time you think about what to eat, or whether you should be exercising instead of doing something else. But I think it gets better. I find that it is something that you grow out of. You are 'obsessed' right now because it…

You are an inspiration. What a journey you are on, amazing progress.

Hmmm, I haven't tried it so I will not be much help. I am a big proponent of encouraging lots of healthy eating and getting enough cals. I just don't think the effects of the diet will stick. I think you may lose weight while on it, but I don't think the weight will stay off. But I've never tried it...

Great work, you are such an inspiration!
