On day 31 today :) I made it! No slips ups or anything. I was surprised at how easy it was to keep it up after the first week or so. Tomorrow I'm going to start adding everything back in a little at a time. First up? A glass of wine! I'm really excited for it. More than anything else I cut out I missed my glass or two of…

Just started! I'm on day 1!

Did week 1, workout 2 tonight, it was MUCH easier than the first one! I'm hoping that it keeps getting better! Thanks for all the advice!

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate the responses! I'll check out the links.

Ok - I figured it out. JeninBelgium I added you onto the admin for the group. Hopefully between the two of us we can keep it organized. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/17392-jm-s-body-revolution-nov-2013

I've never run a group before, but am definitely willing to share the responsibility. I'll try and figure out how to start one and then post the link if I get it. I'm starting on Monday, still debating the kickstart week. It's more the meal plan than the exercise plan that gets me on that one. I tend to lose a little…

I'm probably getting mine in the mail today. I'll be starting within the next week. Should we start a new group for this with everyone starting together?

The contestants Shirts are a little different. Jillian was especially vicious and made a ton of people pass out. I love her but I'm super glad that I just have her DVD's in which she isn't so mean.

bump - great ideas! Thanks!

should you do strength training PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you get the rotator cuff muscles. From experience it's not fun when they get torn from overuse and under strengthening. It's not fun getting cortisone shots in your shoulder bursa and it's super not fun getting it stuck in your shoulder using a spinal needle.

I'm on Citalopram and can't complain. Before I went on them I was angry all the time, didn't want to do anything and was an emotional eater on top of it. Here I am now, having gained 70 lbs. I'm on a low dose and it makes me feel like me again. Honestly I think that you should look at the different types of antidepressants…

Level 3, Day 4 for me today. I've been super busy the past week and couldn't fit it in. Today was the first day after 8 days off. It hurt. It hurt real bad. Hopefully I'll keep it up now and get straight through to the end.

Finish day 2 today! Much better today at doing everything than Day 1. I find that the planks with arm&legs raises are impossible if I do them Natalie/Jillian style, but I really don't think I'm doing them right Anita style. I don't feel like I'm working hard and am thinking it should be hard. I really like the supermans!…

I'm just starting Level 3 of 30DS but then I'm planning on either No More Trouble Zones or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I just got a bunch of her DVD's and a couple Biggest Loser Ones, I'm hoping to slowly work my way through them

Can anyone tell me what Heybales's calorie deficit chart is? Or post a link for it? Thanks!! I just started the Road Map system and am enjoying it so far. I only weigh in once a month/6 weeks so not sure how I'm doing yet on it.

I've had a sustained shoulder injury for over a year now, I just finished level 2 today and I can feel strength again in my shoulders and arms! It's amazing and such a good feeling to not have to constantly think about what I can and can't/shouldn't carry, now I just pick it up and go. Also, the super skinny girl at work…

Day 6 Level 2 complete! First Day when Jillian said that people were probably calling her a crazy person, I totally was. It was insane the first day trying to figure out what to do and do it properly. It was much easier day 2. Day 4 I started doing the Level 1 after Level 2. I felt that my muscles weren't tired enough at…

I keep some raw nuts in my desk drawer. Brazil nuts, almonds and walnuts are my favorite. Good fats, fiber and protein all in a little treat. I find that find I take a few of the nuts and put them on a napkin or tissue on my desk, log them and then slowly snack on them between things I'm working on then I stay full for…

That's the same plan I have. I know for sure I'll be more likely to skip or slack off during the workout if I don't see any results yet. I'm halfway though now (on day 16) and still have yet to measure or weigh myself. I heard a lot of people gained during the beginning of 30DS so I didn't want to get discouraged.

I'm on Day6 L2 and I still can't do proper pushups. I definitely am feeling stronger doing to girlie pushups and maybe next round of 30DS I'll be ready for full pushups. Motivation - I made a chart that I keep in my kitchen with each of the levels, I find that it's a good motivator because I want to put the sticker in that…

Is anyone else really tired of "Don't phone it in!" That's the only thing that really irritated me in level 1. I'M NOT PHONING IT IN!!! Stop telling me that!!! Gah!

Day1 Level 2 today - I just kept looking at Jillian and saying "are you serious??! You want me to do what?!" and a lot of "Holy crapballs!" I'm struggling with the planks, but my hands are in front of my shoulders so I don't think I'm doing them right. Switching between the 3lbs and 5lbs weights depending on the exercise.…

I have a really bad shoulder so 3lbs was all I could do at the start. I'm now doing 3lbs for the squats, chest flys and anterior raises. I use 5 lbs for the back rows and lunges. I can almost move up to the 5lbs for the chest flys and squats but the anterior raises are killing me. Still. I just finished L1 D10. I'm…

Just finished Day 7 Level 1 during my lunch. I love the days I work from home so that I can get 30DS done earlier in the day and am still motivated to do something else in the evening! I have a bad shoulder that is recovering from injury so the arm exercises are killers for me. I'm starting to get through the squats…

I just finished Day5 Level 1 a couple hours ago. I'm finding that while not SUPER sore, I can feel my legs and abs having muscles again. I can't do a full pushups yet, but I'm getting a lot closer to not taking a break on the girlie ones. Also making it through the cardio sections with no breaks anymore. I have a…

A good clarifying shampoo will work too, Neutrogena makes one. Or you can go to a sports store or a swim supply store (one that specializes in suits, equipment and other swim stuff) and they will have shampoo and conditioner for swimmers. I then use a good moisturizing conditioner all over my hair. Also I find if my hair…

The silicone ones are thicker and I find that they are more likely to come off. My sister has the same issue that you do and she only uses the latex caps now. They are more likely to stay on because they are a little stretchier and "cling" better.

I have the H2O Audio cover for the shuffle. I love it for lane swims. I had to take the covers off the earphones for it to fit my ears, but the swim cap keeps them in place. This isn't an issue with the H2O audio headphones though, I need to do that with any earphones I get because I have little ears. Nothing fits them.…

I just bought one as well. Still waiting for it to arrive though - the FedEx man is supposed to be dropping it off today. I'm very excited.
