*edit.. am NOT liking this

i guesss next year i'll learn to say no - am liking this !! lesson learned.. hopefully they'll feel normal soon

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.. i am not really competing either - the events just happened to be close together and i couldn't say no :) Will take some rest & let my legs recover

Meee.. i flit between Jillian Michaels, FitnessBlender and running/cycling.. Love FB :)

yes good advice, thanks, i guess i should get it checked - did a walk and some strength training last night - a little cycling today.. definitely seems a bit better - will give it couple more days then see a dr/pt.. A

a duathlon in 6wks, 20miles walking followed by 30miles cycling... my goal is to just to get to the end before the finish line closes! :)

thanks you guys the pain is a dull ache, in the front of my shoulder joint and down my arm, same today but not so bad as yest. however I can move it freely in all directions with no specific pain... I have some other odd aches n pains going on though, think tonsillitis is looming with glandular pains all over. I hate…

Going for a run same day as giving blood. Was ok till i started to feel light headed towards the end.. Crawled in the front door & up the stairs to hug the loo...

thanks for an amusing first post, it made me giggle a lot! no terribly amusing stories, i did take a run to the post box the other night after a weighted leg workout... realised my legs were like jelly, am sure my neighbours thought i'd been at the gin......

I was a total Jillian Michaels girl but after a year plus I've become unfaithful... I also love how you can play your own music and still follow. Have tried the HIIT and cardio 35+ mins workouts so far & look forward to trying many more. They work you hard!

I started with Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.... Instant pain but quick results.. then did Ripped in 30, which i think is harder & follows from 30DS. After that there's also 6 week 6 pack and Killer Buns and Thighs! You can also find some other longer/shorter Jillian M vids online, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No More…

Greek yoghurt & honey.... Carrots & hummus..... Yum

i love these, i spray my tin with 1 cal spray and they just pop right out. I add whatever i have on hand, asparagus, brocolli, chopped up mini sausage (the kids perperami style snacks!), tomatoes, spring onions, then a shaving of cheese on top...

I work full time, have 2 kids and struggle to fit it in.. but usually manage 30-40mins 5/6 days a week - all at home. Have loved Jillian Michaels since i started just over a year ago & am now doing last stages of Body Revolution. After that i really need a new programme! Would love a home treadmill one day too & will maybe…

Thanks!! It hurts a bit with cardio.. I'm on ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine.. although am hoping to not need them soon, but at the moment i can't bear it without them. I might try some yoga as an alernative.. it's just making me more miserable as the pain killers are also making me retain water. So I've eaten little due to…

ye I was surprised myself, they give you 3 days only as it's addictive apparently - although I suppose there's nothing stopping you going to another pharmacy. I really don't want to take them but it's catch 22 at the moment. thanks all, i guess i need to tackle this dental problem - I still been working out, takes my mind…

you can buy 3 days worth of dihyrdocodeine over the counter at the pharmacy in the UK (Paramol) seeing dentist today for check up in case of infection as pain has been unrelenting since Monday - only the combination of ibuprofen and paramol helps

thanks you guys.. ps dentists are evil :#

ok, thanks everyone, will try stop whining & keep my head up.. and talk to dentist if can't get rid of the pain relief..

thanks, i don't know if ibuprofen and dihyrdocodeine are the same as Motrin.. i did think could be water retention and have been drinking loads of water the last couple of days with no change... i guess i need to stop grumbling and see what happens when i can stop the pain relief..

thanks Alpine - that sounds awesome & just what I was I looking for! will check them out :)

30 day Shred ! i can see that same rain - and the shred will give you an all over work out for your hols :)

Another Jillian fan here! I recently discovered 30 day shred and loved the fact you could do it at home whenever suits, for me it was ideal once the kids were in bed & only takes half an hour.. A good mix of strength, cardio and some abs. I loved the 30DS, was very sore to start with but it wears off - and I had good…

oooh good tip, i do have Amazon prime :) i know these are a bit longer but maybe i'll just try do that bit longer... thanks!

thanks - nope not yet - does it concentrate solely on abs or an all over routine?

mahoosive.. i hate them, they're genetic in our female side of the family..... but even worse my ankles are large too so all round rubbish. i can take the boot problem but little summer dresses and skirts always get to me as well as the family leg jokes :( but i've never seriously tried to tone up & lose some weight until…

hi, I've just started this week too, last night was day 3 also... I did the 30 day shred, then took a week off thanks to chest infection.. I read a lot of posts suggesting it as a good follow on, some folk even said they found level 1 too challenging.. err i don't have that problem. aching thighs today! i can't answer your…

meeeee... salty carbs over chocolate any day..... oatcakes & cheddar, salt & vinegar crisps/chips.... savoury rice... nom nom i was guilty of the salt adding thing too, am a bit more careful now although there are some foods that MUST be salted (boiled eggs, chips, potatoes.....)

Today is day 30 for me ! Yay, one more session tonight of Level 3... Woop woop. Am moving onto Ripped in 30 next as am now a JM addict.. Anyone else doing same? I feel great, energised - despite having two colds back to back... i'd def say take at least a day off every wk to give your muscles a change to recover from the…

wow i'm so impressed with some of the mums here.. real dedicated superstars! this frustrated me for ages.. i'm a full time working mum of two... i was running 3-4 times a week but it took so much co-ordination with kids after school activities etc.. and often meant I made dinner & put grub on the table for family to eat…
