Probably going to start up again on Monday and start building up to the calorie level I should be at like you said. Sooo nervous! Thank you for your response!

You look awesome! And I love the red hair!

Congrats! I'm on week 7 and am amazed at how easily I can run for 25 minutes...You couldn't have convinced me 7 weeks ago I'd even be running for 5! Good work!

Yep, I used to have the same problem but then I just decided to cook healthy meals and told him if he didn't want what I made, then he could make something else....and surprise, he eats what I make every time lol!!!

I am also around the last 10 mark (maybe 15, we'll see after I get 10 off lol) And now I have a deadline I'm aiming for....my beach vacation with my family in July, my WHOLE family! Some comments were made to me recently by some rather negative family members, when they asked me if I was still working out after having my…

Wow! Fantastic results! Way to go! I <3 Jillian lol!

Thanks y'all! I struggle every day to get in the right mindset. I never WANT to go run, but I make myself go. Then while I'm running, I am constantly back and forth, thinking things like "you can do this", "are you CRAZY, you hate running", "is it worth it", "I'm doing pretty good and I'm not miserable". However, one thing…

Good morning everyone! Just wanted to pop in and see how y'all are doing! Happy to report that C25K is going very well for me so far. Hope everyone has an awesome day!

Looks like a good, solid plan! Let us know how it's going for you! :)

Already got my Jillian workout in the bag this morning....Ripped in 30 level 3. Dude, "bear crawls" followed by "duck walks" are a BEAST!!! OOOOUCHIE!!!! Everyone have a wonderful day!!!

I'm on Week 2 day 2 of C25K today and am doing Jillian workouts on my off days also. Keep us posted on how this routine is going for you :)

So far so good on C25K, good luck getting started and let us know how it's going for you! :)

Ripped in 30 is another dvd, similar to 30DS but a little more advanced. It's a perfect dvd to start after you finish 30DS. There are 4 20 minute workouts, I love it! I switch up her dvds a lot. I've got 30DS, Ripped in 30, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No More Trouble Zones, Killer Buns and Thighs, and Extreme Shed and…

Alright, first week of C25K in the bag woohoo!!! The Tenative plan is C25K on Mon, Wed, and Friday (and possibly a 4th run on Sat or Sun, depending on plans), Ripped in 30 on Tues and Thurs, and either Banish Fat Boost Metabolism or No More Trouble Zones on Sat. In addition, I'm going to throw in a Jillian workout on the…

Brownies, pasta and hot wings....and beer :)

Great, welcome! Looks like a good solid schedule.

I've already done 30DS and Ripped in 30 all the way through so now I just go through a different level each day and mix it up. Once in a while I might throw in Jillian's Killer Buns and Thighs....because it hurts so good lol!

On weekdays right now I'm doing Ripped in 30. I'm just going to do a different level every day that I don't run. And on weekends, I like to do either No More Trouble Zones or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism...I save them for the weekend because they're longer lol!

I wish! I was trying to do a dvd in the morning and run in the afternoon but it wasn't working out well with my schedule. Have to get up a 3;45 am if I want a morning workout bc I have to be at work so early. So for me it's either running or a dvd everyday in the afternoons. I'm hoping I still get some good results :)

Yay! I'm going to do day 3 today....I kinda crunched all 3 days together this week because I had a lot going on...but for the next 8 weeks I'm going to try to stick to running on Mon, Wed, and Friday so that I have a rest day in between. I might throw in a 4th day of running on Sat or Sun if I have time.

Sounds excellent! Man, I wish I knew how to play tennis! That's an awesome workout!

Always good to give yourself a rest day to allow your muscles to recover, maybe go for a brisk walk on your rest day so you don't feel like you're slacking off. That's what I do on rest days so that I don't lose motivation. :)

Alright!! I'm down 2lbs in the last few days after being stalled for a few weeks! I've done week 1 days 1 & 2. I know the 2 lbs didn't drop due to the exercise (more likely my diet over the last few months) but I'm just proud that I'm getting out there and getting started with c25k! I'm finding the first week pretty easy,…

Oh yeah, I did the Slimdown when I was trying to get back in shape after my first child. After I finished that, I did Ripped in 30, then I made my own "Slimdown" routine incorperating all of those dvds and Killer buns and thighs. It went like this: Weeks 1 & 3: Monday- 30DS level 1, Tuesday- Killer B&T level 1, Wednesday-…

If you liked 30DS then you're gonna love Ripped! I've done both and loved them. I still love doing them....I'm just trying to mix in a little running also to help slim me down a little more.....AND because I'm getting ready to go to the police academy in a couple of months. Gotta run lol!

Oh good, I just downloaded the RunDouble app on my phone...hope I like it :)

Oh yeah, I hear you on the 9 week thing....My goal is to follow the plan the way it's written, only because I'm in decent shape already, just not a runner. But if I'm having trouble I will definitely repeat. I'm hoping 3 days of Jillian dvds and clean eating are going to help with the weightloss part. Fingers crossed!…

Hi! I am about to start C25K and I've done 30DS and Ripped in 30 in the past. Starting back up on a rotation of Jillian dvds, does that count?

Hey there! I was always on the lower end of average weight for my height until I had my son....then I was on the high end of average/healthy weight. I did a rotation of Jillian Michaels dvds and watched what I ate. Lost 15 lbs. Now I just had my daughter 4 months ago so I'm back to where I was and am getting ready to do it…

Thanks y'all. I'm trying. :heart:
