It's a work out video by Jillian Michaels. It really works all muscle groups with added cardio in it. You can find all the levels on You Tube...the key is to do 10 days of each level for a total of 30 days! Its a great workout and she is very easy to scream at! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8

That explains why you looks so good! The 30DS is a little tricky as you do need to do other cardio along with it! It really does focus on great muscle groups but doesn't burn enough calories to really lose some weight! Great job those double workouts are tough!

Throw the scale away....seriously! Eat clean and work out like your doing, cut out your sugar and stachy carbs,(breads, rice/pastas, potatoes act) . I struggles with this...i lost 8#'s right away then gained 3 back...but i've been going to the gym often and keeping my intake low...no weight loss. AS you i became very…

Awesome!!!! Are you doing other exercises along with the 30DS? I did 30DS for 7 workouts off and on for about 2 wks last month but now doing it for the full 30 days...on day 4 of level 1! But im still going to go the gym 2-3's a week to keep up my overall cardio endurance. Just spreading my workouts when i do this and…

Oh my yes! I started doing it on the days i couldn't get to the gym...so maybe did 7 work outs total.....but now im determined to do the whole 30 days...By Just doing the odd days i already saw a great change...Remember this is not for weight loss...although it will come...but this workout is planned to build lean muscle…

Awesome job! Have your tried JM workouts yet? Weight training at all? It makes a huge difference!

Im an OT and you wouldn't believe the impact you can have on your patients by just being knowledgeable about health and fittness...Finish your degree...then do the fitness stuff on the side for fun!

Try the 30 day shred by Jillian Micheals....it is an awesome workout and only takes 30 minutes.....so easy to do! ...well after you get over that feeling your going to die! haha!

Thats awesome! Im also doing her workout...i was starting to do the whole 30 day thing on the first level then I had another MFP friend tell me that the shred part was really 10 days ...level 1, 10 days level 2, and 10 days level 3~ .....anyone else do it this way...or 30 days for one level! ?

bump! :) yummy

This is awesome to hear everyones opinions! I like the idea of cheat meals! I asked because i have a friend that does this faithfully and has had lots of luck with it....but again im very nervous that having a cheat day would throw me off too! thanks everyone for your feedback!

Oh the joys of being a mom! Nice feeling to have your pants not fit anymore...great job!

feel free to add me too! :)

I was caught in this same trap...exercising daily but not really watching my diet...then i changed and started the DASH diet....8#'s lost in two weeks...with just changing my diet! It doesn't matter if you stay in your calorie goal (although does help) what really matters is what you eat in that amount...Your body will…

Have you tried the sugar free jello pudding...it is so yummy and will take away your need for chocolate...I sometimes top it with some semi chocolate chips. Also sugar free jello is great substitute as well.... oh and a banana with peanut butter hits the spots for me too!

nope...but it is fun to dream about being that weight! keeps me going! :) Also...it does not count for muscle weight or water retention!

I hear ya....I had on a really nice under shirt for my sweater today and it was so big i felt frumpy..,,,it is a nice feeling to have!

Chicken salad, black bean soup, salmon and steamed veggies, chicken and veggies.. Google...DASH DIET RECIPES....should come up with a million...even some on interest

Tonight while we were out for dinner my 8 year old boy says.."Mama...you are looking so much thinner"! That made my night! :)

Thanks everyone...Yea...I wasn't convince it was a blood sugar issue until i actually cut out all my sugar...even fruit...It will be interesting to see if they come back after the 14 day start. I hope not!

bump! :love:

That is so awesome...my goal too...Im at 25 seconds! So i can see how three minutes is such a victory....NOw the question is can you move your arms at the same time! or do a side plank! :)

i hear you on this!

Awesome! Yea...im not so much into wanting to do this to burn calories but was just wondering so i can log it...I too don't trust what the machines say and only eat my calories back if I'm starving! Thanks for all the info! I hear nothing but good things on this site about JM 30 day shred....looking to get more toned and…

oh good to know...Thanks... do you recommend a good HRM?

That's tough...I just buy my food and eat it...then buy the rest of the family what they like...including some unhealthy chips and cookies...most nights they eat spaghetti or tacos and i eat a salad if the meal does't meat my diet requirements....so far it goes well.... I would just talk with him...and understand where he…

Aspertane can cause sweet cravings...also I noticed when i stop drinking pop completely my stomach does not bloat as much!

Fantastic! keep going...YOU CAN DO THIS!

It's a wonderful feeling isn't it! :) Keep going!

Be careful with this....not that your going into starving mode by just skipping one meal......but it will mess with your metabolism something awful...everything i read strongly suggest you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day (200-300 calories)...If you skip a meal you may find your self famished and over eat at the next…
