Just did D2 of L2 - and I switched to 1.5 pound weights for the last circuit for strength. I think it's better to keep form with the smaller weights than fall over using my 5 pound ones! But it's getting there - I still sweat buckets haha. Keep going guys! I'm really starting to notice a difference in my stomach. I've…

I log it as circuit training. I don't have a HRM to check, but it seems about right (MFP says I burn about 192). I think most people log it like this too.

Hi! I finished all ten days of Level 1 and I did the first day of Level 2 today. Level 1 kicked my butt for the first four days. My muscles were SOOO sore. I was able to do all of the Natalie moves (except for pushups, but I tried to do at least 8 consecutive ones before switching to the easier ones). Level 2 was harder…

I like Teddie all Natural and Organic (I choose salted, but there are unsalted versions). I LOVE my peanut butter and no one can take it away from me haha. But I did realize that if I am going to continue to eat it, I really need to switch to the natural kind to reduce sugar intake.

Haha it was really hard! I was sweating buckets. I'm fortunately not as sore as when I first started the shred, but those planks kill just because my upper body thinks I'm an idiot for letting Jillian talk me into these things. I did most of Natalie on L1 (although I could only do 8 push ups and then switched to Anita push…

I usually eat hard boiled egg whites (15 calories per egg).

I've lost 3 pounds so far (I'm on day 11 and I just started L2 today). However, I am working at a barn for the summer so I burn loads of cals just being there. However, the 30DS broke me out of my plateau, so I'm pumped!

This is always such an interesting topic! I'm a biology major, and this past semester I took a class called "Plant biotechnology and genetic engineering." It was really cool, and we talked about the process of making something a GMP (taking a particular gene(s) and inserting it into a single cell that can result in an…

Just finished D10 L1!!! So proud of myself, didn't skip any days (I didn't have any injuries). I can't wait to try L2 tomorrow morning, although I am a little nervous. What does everyone think of Level 2 who have done it/are in it.

I THINK mine would be the "Rubber Ducky" song in German. I don't know German haha. Other honorable mentions: Snoopy vs. the Red Baron Snoopy's Christmas I'm Henry the VIII I am The entire "Legally Blonde the Musical" soundtrack Sprite The Nations of the World by the Animaniacs - yeah, it's memorized. This one might…

Did D9 L1 today - so I just have one day left at level 1! I am so proud of myself. This has been such a life saver too because when I am at school, I get to go to the gym for "free." But at home this summer I didn't want to pay for it. I started running but it has been SO hot and I don't want to get up at 5:00 to go…

That website is great - thanks!

When I make the juice their is loads of pulp (fiber!) left over. I'm just wondering if anyone knows for sure, or if there is a certain percentage lost, or if it depends on the vegetable/fruit, etc.

Just finished D8 L1 today - I didn't have as much energy as I usually do, but I got through it all right. I can't wait to start L2, just to keep things interesting!

Pizza and peanut butter. Pizza I eat only on occasion, but I try hard not to go out of my way to get it. Peanut butter on the other hand...... I will have it everyday, for the rest of my life... most likely haha! Although I have switched to all natural, organic peanut butter. I do need the salted version though, but I…

Just finished D6 of L1 today - I'm finally starting to feel less sore - hoorah! Also, I think my endurance for the weights is getting better, especially on the squat thrusts.

D5 L1 done today! I'm finally starting to feel less sore during the day, although I haven't noticed real differences in my ability to do the movements. Cardio isn't my problem, it's the arm weights! The squat thrusts and anterior raises still are kickers... although I started out right away with 5 lb weights so maybe it…

I've recently discovered that I am an anxious eater - although it usually correlates with school or work. I always need to have a plan, and if I have one, great! If I don't... I'm anxious... and I eat.

Hey! I've been looking for a thread to start with - I did D4 L1 today so it's pretty close!

Just did D4 L1 this morning - I was a little less sore today than in the past three days, so that makes me happy! The anterior raises still really get to me... and I always have trouble not straining my neck during the ab moves - does anyone have any tips to minimize that?

Thanks everyone! It's good to know that it does go away, and to be prepared for when it comes back when moving up levels! So far I'm lucky in that I don't have any actual pain, I'm just sore lol. I had to get up and ride two horses this morning and I thought I wasn't going to be able to get on let alone actually ride!

I just started yesterday, and I already did day 2 today! It definitely pushes me - the cardio and legs aren't too bad (except the lunges), but my arms have always been a pit pathetic so all of those movements are super hard! I am really excited to see results though, I'm going to try to complete it straight - so no days…

Woah man, today was day 2 for me on L1... and I am wiped haha! I have to go ride two horses later today and I hope I can get myself on let alone ride! I'm really excited to have started though, I am a college student and I am home for the summer working only half days, so I have no excuse not to be able to fit it in!…

Great post! Even when I don't see progress on the scale I don't get that upset because I still feel healthier! I've definitely screwed up before, but as long as I end up back here I'm okay!

Woooah man Jazz apples are my FAVORITE! They are everything I could ever hope to ask in an apple.

Awesome! Do you know how many calories are in them generally?

I work out in the morning, but I have to wait at least an hour before I head out running. When I wake up I feel groggy and stiff, once I'm up and about, and I have eaten, I feel loads better.

I like to work out an hour after breakfast in the mornings (around 7 or 8), at least for the summer. I also work in the afternoons so I can't work out then. I am from New England so when fall starts and I am back at school I will change to midday or evenings. It's mostly about when it fits in! I do prefer mornings though,…

My go-to breakfast is always a whole wheat english muffin with a tps of peanut butter with banana slices on top with a clementine or grapefruit! And coffeeeee.

Hello! You definitely don't have to do cardio EVERY day - especially if your body is telling you that it hurts. I know that my mom hates taking rest days because she fears she will stop all together. I run four days a week, and I let my body tell me if it is tired from the previous day (I try not to take two days off in a…
