I"ve not yet been diagnosed with IBS-C but I've been suffering for almost a year and half. I've tried everything under the sun and no one can seem to pinpoint what's causing me to back up. I tried the high fibre veggies (Broccoli etc) but ended up in so much pain and bloating. Went Gluten Free for months, teas, high fat…

Ditto!! Only two pregnancies/2 c-sections for me though, but what a mess!!! LOL!!

Unfortunately a lot of the workouts (especially the Jillian Michaels ones) aren't available on the Canada Netflix... Boooo!!

10 days before starting the 30DS I couldn't do chin ups!! 10 days into the shred I was able to do 1!! 20 days into the shred I did 3!!! The 30DS is awesome for building strength!!! I am currently waiting for the Ripped In 30 !! Can't wait!!

hahah, we posted at the same time!!

Which hand? I have one hand that is, and one hand that isn't... :D

Working out, no matter when, is beneficial!! I've done the 6am workouts, the 6pm workouts, the mid morning workouts etc. If 5 is when you have the most energy then go for it!! I love working out right before dinner because I find I don't eat as much at dinner! Seems like a good deal to me!! Heheeh!! As long as you stay…

Hi. Try this site www.thyroid.about.com there are a lot of helpful hints and articles there! :D

OMG!! You look so amazing!! Congratulations on all of your hard work!! :D

Stewart! :D

Northern BC... Way up in the sticks... Actually at the tip of the Alaskan Panhandle where it comes down into Canda. :D

LOVE IT!! "EH" :D

Completed L1 D3 yesterday (Saturday).. I missed two days because I had to go out of town, but am back at 'er and committed to doing this everyday!! Hope everyone else is doing well!! :D

Hi!! Can I still join? I was going to start again today! I completed all but three days a few months ago and then switched to Insanity. I found I wasn't seeing the results that I did with the Shred!! And like the PP (previous poster) said it started to burn me out and dwindled to absolutely nothing in the past two weeks!!…

Hi I just completed this not long ago. I only lost maybe 2 pounds (but I'm close to my goal weight) I noticed my cardio improved, my muscle tone (especially arms and legs) was amazing, and my strength improved BIG TIME!! Before starting the shred I couldn't do chin ups, 10 days into the shred I could do 1, 20 days in I did…

Yeah I hear ya. I thought the warm up was the workout too!!! hahah.. :D

I'm in Northern BC, Canada. We haven't had snow yet, but it's slowly creeping down those mountains!! LOL!! Gotta love the workout DVDs!!! heehee!!

Great job!!!! I too have switched my workouts to morning ones. I hate getting up early but it's worth it so that I have the extra time after work with the kids. Seems to keep me more energized throughout the day too!!

That's great!! Sure is a butt kicker of a program hey? lol Just hearing the words "plyo cardio" scares me!! HAHAHAH!!!

Great job on the loss!! That's awesome!!!

I started last wednesday, (no need to wait til Monday) I just tick off the workouts on the calendar and go from there. Do you already have the DVDs or waiting for them to arrive?

Haha I posted before I seen your pics!! You look amazing too!! AWESOME AWESOME job!! Very inspirational!!

WOW!!! He looks like a totally different person!! Tell him CONGRATS!! And to you too!!

Hi!! I just did Jillian Michael's 30 Day shred. I have two young boys (6 and 2) and also work full time. I found the 30 day shred was perfect as it only takes about 28 mins a day and you get a really great workout!! Hope this helps!!

I am seeing a few results so far. I have some definition where I've never had it before. I haven't seen any progress on the scale yet, but I have to clean up my eating and start tracking again. I've decided to go with mini meals throughout the day and see if that gets things moving. :D Let me know how it goes for you!!

Way to go!! That's awesome and I'm glad you found something you can stick with and enjoy doing!!

If you have weights, the chest presses work great. If not, pushups, pushups and more pushup!!! I am in the same boat as you with the saggy tummy skin, but with all the weights and pushups i've been doing, my upper isn't saggy and right above the "girls" looks very nice and toned!! Hope this helps!!

Hi! I have a timex one. Cost me around $65 and has a chest strap that you can replace the batteries yourself. It's a great HRM. I love mine. I just started Insanity last week. Day 5 completed this morning. It is an awesome workout and yes you will need to take breaks and won't be able to do everything right from the get…

Thoughts and prayers sent your way! Please keep us posted. Hugs to you and your entire family.

heehee. I think watching it probably does count... lol quite the workouts!! :D
