I just started! I tried out the program a while back (I thought I had only done a couple days but I see I logged all the alpha workouts at least once on MFP). Today is Day 2 for me as well. I can see parts of myself in the reflection from my screen and am definitely not graceful either. But that's ok. Hopefully it gets…

I'm changing mine! Hope it won't be too much of a hassle. I am not particularly fond of my current/maiden name, and my brother already has a son, so the name isn't dying off :) Excited for a new last name! I think it's going to be sooo weird!

I've always wanted to do a cruise in Alaska, so I will have to bring that up :) There are a ton of other places I want to go, but I think that one could be fun!

Wow I've never heard of either of these things! I think I have much bride/wedding research to do :) Off to google a bit now!!

I'm still here! Just hadn't been checking the discussion forums much. I need to figure out my exercise plan - I've been doing 30 day shred here and there but sort of will finish that up by next week, so am back to figuring out what I want to do next. Our date is May 17 2014, so I figure I will probably be dress shopping…

Level 3 Day 2! Definitely sore in my shoulders in a bit in my back but today was good - did a little more (like all those mountain climbers!) but still have to follow Anita for a couple moves. Onward and upward!

Oops I was AWOL for a week but back at it today! After 7 days of Level 2, I skipped ahead to Level 3 today. Not bad! I was watching on Youtube and lost internet connection twice (?) plus it skipped at one point, so that was irritating and I wasn't 100% into it. I'm always tentative the first time I do a video anyway.…

L2 D7...starting to get excited to move on to level 3 but still need a bit of work on Level 2. I hope there's less planking in Level 3! Maybe I will preview it some night.

L2 D6!! Still improving. Need a break during those squats with v raise or what have you (in the last strength circuit) - even with 3-lb weights my arms are too weak!

We are so close too! Shooting for May 17, 2014. Just gotta clear it with the bank (aka the parents ;0)....

Oops got ahead of myself..today was Day 5 of Level 2 :) So sweaty but I think I am taking fewer breaks and getting better at the plank moves (so many!).

Level 2 Day 5 done this morning. I was bad and took the weekend off. Grrrrr.

Leve 2 Day 3 for me (I took yesterday as a rest day). Still tough but I think I'm improving (?). I dread it more than I did Level 1, so that probably means it's good for me :) For all you that feel like giving up or that you can't do it, listen to everyone else!! Just doing anything (like walking, as was suggested) is an…

As a black eyed susan (aka no date) I clearly don't know the answer to this question, but I am excited I finally asked my MOH if she'll be in my wedding :) [I gave her this shirt: http://skreened.com/jeanteetravelcakewed/maid-of-honor-humor-tee) Anyway I will only be having a MOH and one bridesmaid, so I'm thinking they…

Did my 2nd day at Level 2 this morning! I think I got a little better, but have a way to go on some of those plank moves. I think I pulled something in my chest region but didn't feel it till after and I don't think it's so bad. Hopefully should be good to go tomorrow. The plank jacks and plank tuck (or whatever it's…

Today was Day 6 for me...I decided to bump up to Level 2! Much better for me - this one is a struggle, and I like that. I'm excited to get better and take fewer breaks!

Just finished Level 1 Day 5! Had to take the weekend off as I had hockey 3 times and didn't have time/wanted my body to rest a bit. Felt good today - I think I might move up to Level 2 a bit early but I will see how I feel tomorrow and decide then...maybe.

Day 4 done! Still have some soreness in my calves so I added on some calf stretches at the end of today. Felt good today. Got ice hockey games the next three days so it will be a nice combo of 30DS in the morning and hockey at night. The only part I hate is during the lunges/curls where Jillian says "a couple more" and…

You're kicking our butts, Jess ;) Great job (to everyone else too!)

L1D3 in the books for me! Woke up with sore calves and I don't think D3 helped that much, but still a good workout for today. Just need to stretch the calves a little more. Slightly higher calorie burn today, woohoo.

I <3 Jenelle too! Her fb page is http://www.facebook.com/jenellesummers "Texas" in the Lean phase is Bethany! She is really strong and I like her too (I like her giggle!) You can spot some of the CLX cast (Jenelle, Toni, Mike, maybe more?) in the Turbofire videos. Donna annoys me too!! And I like Laylee, wish she was in…

Just finished up Day 2! I wasn't sore when I woke up this morning...my muscles felt used but not sore. I upped my weights (from 5 to 9...except for the last arm raise/side lunge - started with 5s and went down to 3s!) Felt like I pushed harder today but my HRM reports a slightly lower calorie burn than yesterday. I'm glad…

I definitely want to check this out this weekend! Thanks for putting them together, looks fun! I'm itching to get home from work now (it's soo not close to 5pm) to do this :)

I don't think that's lame! We were sorta thinking fall would be nice, but a. I didn't see us getting all our stuff together to pull that off, and b. that would mean I'd have to be dress shopping right now and there's no way I want to do it quite yet! I think next April will work well so I can do dress shopping this summer.…

Great job team with last week's weigh in!! My only contribution was a "maintain" and some STAR points, but I'll take it! I'm down with Jess as team captain ;) As for wedding dates, we have tentatively thrown out April 2014 when we are talking to venues. So far we have been to 5 places, have 3 scheduled for this Saturday…

I track mine separately - but only because I like to look at how my calorie burn changes when I do a video - like compare HIIT 15 on one day vs maybe 2 weeks later. I think it's fine to do them together in one "session" if you don't care about that, and just want the total stats.

Yay us! So glad we have a name :) How is wedding planning going for all of you? Feel free to add me as a friend - would love to get updates on how all my teamies are doing ;)

Hi! I'm excited for this group and competition :) I'm Catherine, I got engaged in November after dating for about a two and a half years. With all the holiday craziness, my fiance and I haven't gotten a chance to really do any planning. I've searched places online and made a massive spreadsheet of venues but now is the…

Congrats!!!!!! I got engaged in late November. Still figuring out where and when the big day will be :)

I'll take a stab at it :) Thanks for setting this up! Hope it's ok that I still have no clue when my wedding will be...maybe by the end of the 12 weeks I'll know.... 1. Name: Catherine 2. Wedding Date : TBD 3. Home State: Illinois 4. Current Weight: 183 5. Goal Weight for 12 week cycle: 175 6. Overall Goal Weight 160 [or…
