No obvious problems to me but I'm not very experienced at it. Are you sure exercise/activity is not factored into the TDEE? That's the part that I find confusing :smile: I also try to set mine so that I eat back the calories in case my schedule gets mixed up and I do not get in all the intended exercise.

First, I'm sorry you are experiencing this. It sounds like a difficult situation and I commend you for understanding that you need a lot of self-care right now. In the fall I went through a family health crisis when my husband was suddenly critically ill. I can relate to how you describe your experience. I lost weight in…

I just finished my day 3. I'm enjoying the routine of this quick workout. But I don't enjoy the supermans.

Still here but super busy!

I'm a little behind - today will be my day 3 but it's still progressing!

I think I like this level better as well!

I'm still here but taking a few unexpected days off. House guests and I still have a sore shoulder from those first circuit planks! I should be able to do it Sunday though... I'll keep checking in.

Actually my shoulder popped in and out of joint in the first 10 seconds of that elbow/hand plank drill. The first exercise of the workout! I landed flat on my chest :) It's an old injury and that happens sometime but it hasn't happened to me in at least 5 years. So I'll see tomorrow.... either I will change it to a…

Um... yeah... WOAH!

Tell me more! :laugh: I'll be trying it in a few hours!

I'm considering Ripped in 30 but it's a bit longer I hear. 20 minutes is so much easier to get done! any other ideas?

Oh dear! My HRM said I was burning about 180-190 in level 1 and about 235 in level 2. I'll find out soon what it says about level 3 :)

Those static moves are still a killer and I can't get past the modified plank movements. I do work up a sweat every time though. I'm also wondering about level 3 and I'm not peeking at it until I start it. I will just do it!

Jillian michael's 30 day shred is on you tube. 3 levels on separate videos.

Good news :) Here are some stats for me at mid-point of Level 2. Starting: Weight: 168.8 Bicep: 13" Chest: 37" Waist: 33.5" Hips: 43" Thigh: 25" Current: Weight: 164.8 (-4 lbs) Bicep: 12" (-1) Chest: 37" Waist: 32.5" (-1) Hips: 42.5" (-.5) Thigh: 24.5" (-.5) Total loss: 4 pounds and 3 inches in 17 days. My weight did not…

Hey, hey! Today was my Day 6 (rested yesterday). My left knee was acting up in pendulum lungesl. Still got a great workout done and I tried a few of the higher impact plank jumps.

Took a rest day today but back at it tomorrow!

Good for you! :flowerforyou:

Got in done in the evening. Not fun to do that cardio after supper :ohwell: Half way there - 15 days out of 30. Woot! This weekend I am going to try to do the higher impact plank things, at least the first set of each of those.

Done. Day. 4. I don't like that she says she wants me to feel like I'm going to die. :sad:

Okay, Okay, Okay... I'll go do that workout! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'd just call today Day 4.

Be well WhiteFlower! Hope you find something fun and challenging to do that's a bit kinder to your knees.

I shredded L2 D2. Modified everything possible with the planks :laugh:

What's with all the planks!?! Even Jillian looked tired :laugh:

Oh yes, there will be pancakes for supper on Tuesday! Plain yummy warm pancakes with maple syrup and a few breakfast sausages on the side. But I also like pancakes with apple baked into them, a childhood favorite. My kids like chocolate chip pancakes or blueberry pancakes. Nothing too crazy around here :)

Completed my Day 9 today. One more! I'm ready to move on. Everything has become easier - still no cake walk by any means. Today I finally did the push ups without any rests (knee push ups). If I was at this level longer, or if I do it again in the future, I will keep upping my weights and increasing the difficulty with the…
