145 with lots of muscles!

Grrrrr! lol

In either workout 5 or 6 the "I'm shakin it" girl starts to scream and grunt loudly when doing the upper cuts with the resistance band. My first thought was "here we go again." (ps- I think it's funny that none of us know her name)

If you wake up early every day (including weekends) you will eventually become a morning person. I work out in the morning. I have a cup of coffee before my workout which helps. If I'm going to have a particularly long, difficult workout, I eat a high protein breakfast right before. If you push yourself to do it everyday,…

1) LOVE Mimi and Anita! I love that Natalie talks back to Jillian, too :) 2) I love suicides! In Cardio 2 I do suicides instead of towel runs. 3) I'm glad to be done with phase 1 mainly because of the "I'm shakin it!" girl.

I love Kelly Clarkson's "What doesn't kill you" I also turn on Eminem's "'Til I collapse" when doing burpees. It motivates me to do burpees 'til I collapse. Which is about half way through the song :)

The K-Swiss tubes that they wear are SO comfortable!

Just weight and max HR.

bump?

Wow! Great work! You can really tell in your stomach!

Do you like kickbox fast fix? Are there weights involved or is it mostly cardio? Mine is coming in the mail tomorrow! I think I'll add it to my cardio days.

omg it's Kenta! So hot!

I got bored with Cardio 1, so I replaced it once a week with Jillian's Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvd. I'm half-way through Phase 2, but I still love Cardio 2!

Crabs again!? Oh no! Crabs WITH weights!? Double oh no! I'm going to cherish weeks 7 and 8...

I am just about finished with week 6 (half way!!!) and have lost 14 pounds and a ton of inches (including 4 inches from my waist)! We have a MFP group for those doing the program. Good luck! It is so much fun!

The Hot Chick.

I'm visiting my in-laws in College Station in a couple of weeks. My husband wants to go to Double Dave's and Freebirds while we are there... not sure there are any healthy options there!

Add spinach to a protein shake. You won't be able to taste it.

I listened to Jillian's podcast this week and she *sorta* answered this question. She said if you are overweight, you will NOT go into starvation mode at 1200 calories a day (note that this is not net calories, it is total calories consumed) because your body will begin to consume your fat stores. She said she even puts…

My only tattoo. I would get more if I could afford it. I want an owl on my forearm. I am bird obsessed. :smile:

All my rewards are fitness related. I got myself new running shoes for losing 10 pounds. I'll get a HRM for the next 10 lost. Heavier weights for the 10 after that. And new workout clothes once I've lost 40 pounds.

Welcome! If you like 30DS you will love this! The workouts are challenging, fun, and motivating! ((I sound like an infomercial))

10 pounds in 3 months? For sure. As long as you watch what you eat. Before I got married, I needed to lose 10 pounds to fit in my dress. I lost it in about 6 weeks using her dvds. I rotated between 30 day shred, banish fat boost metabolism, and no more trouble zones (working out 5-6 days a week). My new favorites are…

Welcome! If you find the first two weeks too easy, don't worry... it gets harder :)

I've done cheat meals (not often) but have always made up for it by doing a longer workout or eating a little less the rest of the day.

My husband and I once split a pumpkin pie from trader joe's in one sitting! We didn't look at the nutritional info until it was too late.

I got Jillian's set of 8 pound weights on Amazon for $18 total. Just checked the price and it jumped up to 27. I would check every once in a while, they may go down in price again.

I plan out my workouts. I do strength training four days (2 days front of the body, 2 days back of the body) a week and cardio two days a week. If I miss a day, it throws my entire schedule out of whack (so I never miss a workout!). But I do workout videos, so its all pretty much planned for me. You should do a balance of…

I love Jillian Michaels' kettlebell workout dvd. So much fun!
