HRM's are a must. I find I burn more than the suggested "Circuit Exercise" option, but some people burn less. HRM keeps it pretty accurate. I think I spent $30 on one but use it all the time.

Just finished my course work and passed my comps for my PhD. Trying to balance all of this has been tough. During my Masters I ballooned and then lost 30 pounds as soon as I graduated. During the 3 years of PhD coursework I gained about half of that back and then lost it again this past summer when I finished courses and…

Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT. I've been twice and hope to return every year.

It's hard for me to work out in the mornings because my food levels aren't there to sustain the workout. I usually go in the afternoon when I've had a good breakfast and lunch and then a protein/carb snack about 30 minutes before. Just my method for making it through the whole workout. I've been getting some really good…

If I were you I would repeat at least week 4 before going into the recovery week. That's just me though. I've tried not to miss any days and if I do I shift my rest day around.

I'm doing well. I'm actually repeating week 4 before going into recovery week because next week is a vacation with a lot of travel. I'm going to bring the recovery DVD and do it, but didn't want to jump into the Max stuff while on he road. I don't like rest days because its hard for me to get going following it, but we can…

I really like the taste. They sell it at most grocery stores. Wal-Mart is a little sketchy as ours keep it in the sporting goods section. The local grocery store sells it 10 for $10 most of the time. I'm going to try the recovery shakes Gatorade makes too. I hear good things about chocolate milk. Have a friend who drinks…

Along with stretching, you must replenish your body with some protein. I drink Gatorade Recovery drink right after and it seems to help curb the soreness. Advil works for a bit, but wouldn't do it too much. I just finished week 4 and understand the early pain. That part gets better. I've found my muscles feel heavy later…

Are you all still going strong?

I'm finishing week 4 tomorrow. It's been a great ride and I'm happy with the results thus far. Keep going!

I get really cranky if I don't workout. It is difficult to get motivated some days but you just have to force yourself. I want results and think about it every time I look in the mirror. MFP helps me too because I know I need to eat the right things before and after I workout. I'm starting to see results in fit of clothes,…

I just started the third week and I can feel and begin to see a difference in my body. Down 5 pounds and I have more energy than I have in a long time. MFP and the success stories and knowing others are doing the same things helps keep me going. My wife is down 4 lbs in a week of 30DS.

I started on June 11 and just finished my 2nd fit test as well. I'm going to post FT1 and FT2 results below. During FT1, I pushed it too much and got sick by the last exercise. Learned a lesson there. Bought a HRM too which helps me keep up with the calories. I usually end the workouts with a full bottle of Gatorade…
