Thanks for all the advice...I think I will Ice it, rest Tomorrow and get a brace because I really don't want to stop the routine. I had surprising results just from level 1. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I am on level 1 day 8. I am noticing more upper body change in level one...was that true for you too? Did the lower body change come more in level 2 for you? Just curious. You are looking great!

The reason I chose the Polar FT7 is because it comes with a chest strap and I can't afford to buy these pieces seperately.

Least favorite...push ups and running. Favorite...pilates, walking, crunches and most everything else. :flowerforyou:

Bump for later :smile:

Sadly I am going to be 1.5 mile under the 50 miles. I started the 30 day shred videos on Monday and I have been too sore most days to walk. When I did feel okay to walk it wasn't that far before the soreness came back. :cry: 8/20 = No Walking 8/21 = 2 miles 8/22 = No Walking 8/23 = 1/2 mile 8/23 = No Walking 8/25 = 1.5…

I am currently on day 7 of the 30 day shred and I too have a bad knee and shins (I am over 50 yrs. young) I decided to keep going with it because numerous advice from women over 50 have said they modified it even more to their joint ailments. I can do the jumping jacks but when it comes to the Butt Kicks and the Jump Rope…

Amen to that ladies...I can relate. :flowerforyou:

I was sitting at the table on the deck outside [facing the sliding glass door] and I saw a reflection in the window of a "Fat person." I kept staring at it and realized it was me. :frown: I said to myself, "My God, is that me? How did I let myself get so bad."

Thanks for the encouragement and cheers MFPers. :flowerforyou:

Thanks Ladies! :flowerforyou:

I'm not expert just a beginner at this but I would say that sweating is a good thing if you are trying to get into shape. I say the sweatier the better. :laugh:

Thanks that helps :drinker:

Lol...sorry its the scooby site not snoopy. My Bad. :laugh: This is what it said after I put my numbers in Note: When your weight drops by more than 5lbs (2kg) you must recalculate your numbers!

To redo the information that you enter with the current weight every 5 lbs so it recalculates your calories and such.

Ya know...its okay for a guy to cry over losing someone he loves. Just take it slow and sit down alone and have a good long cry every now and then... That'a about all the advice I can give, its tough and boy do these times SUCK. Praying you will find comfort and the strength to eventually move on. :flowerforyou:

With something as serious as this...I would be getting a second opinion. And yes as your doctor these questions don't consult the board on MFP about this. Praying for you. :flowerforyou:

There is also a video that has all 3 levels together. http://youtu.be/ve-WiQKi_W8 :flowerforyou:

I started today too. And it kicked my butt litteraly. I posted a blog about it. I was adviced by people on another wieght loss sight to do extra stretchs before the DVD begins, that is in addition to the one's JM tells you to do. I could not figure out how to post them on my blog. I do have them saved in a picture file so…

I agree...I use cayenne pepper on alot of my food and I am not a person who enjoys spicey food but it's not to bad. I also drink alot of Green Tean and Oolong tea both are good for metabolism (no sugar added). :flowerforyou:

Pink Lady's, Golden Delicious and Gala....:drinker:

BWT: to the original poster, Thank you for the post. :drinker:

Wow!!! You all should be ashamed of yourselves...attacking someone for trying to be helpful. This site is really getting bothersome to me. Again people who think their way is better than someone else's just because its differrent than what you would do. IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE...THEN DON'T SAY NOTHING AT ALL!!!! IF…

I plan on starting it Monday also. I have been a little scared because I usually don't follow videos very well but I have been reviewing the routine on Youtube and decided its something I could probably do. I have seen alot of success stories on this site about using 30DS...so I will put my fears aside and do it. Good…

Hello fellow Michigander!!! I am from Three Rivers, MI "Go Wolverines!"

It's your day you should be able to do what you want. IMO Happy Birthday!:flowerforyou:

After your body gets use to the gallon jugs of water, Fill some empty gallon jugs with sand or dirt and lift those. Use your arms and also lift them with your legs. Lay on the floor with legs together and up, bend your knees so you assume the "Tabletop position" place the jugs on their side over your calves and slowly move…
