Level 3 day 3. Keeps getting better, still can't do the rockstar jumps very well, so I did jump rope again instead. I feel my abs getting stronger finally, and am noticing it at odd times. Like sitting up in bed without having to use my hands-- seems so silly but it made me smile. :) How is everyone else doing? Planning to…

Did Level 3 for the first day today. It felt harder to me than Level 2 and I had to modify a couple of the moves. The "rockstar jumps" were too hard for me so I substituted double jump ropes, and the walking push-ups I am still modifying with my knees down. I've never been able to do push-ups, even when I was a college…

Shred update from today-- someone posted about another Jillian workout called "burn fat boost metabolism" so I found it on youtube and gave it a whirl, just to change up the pace a bit. Holy. Crap. It's like doing Shred 3 for an hour. Don't get me wrong- it's WAY more fun. You get to do all the kicking and punching your…

I have only done The Shred but thanks to your tip I found BFBM on youtube and will add that to my workouts too! I love that Youtube has so many free Jillian workouts. I have the DVD but it's so much easier to just click on the youtube video. Wanted to add my support for The Shred. I have lost inches, and it's the kind of…

Good point! And ROCK ON with the amazing progress you've made!!! :D Are you still doing The Shred now? If so, do you stay on Level 3 or do you change it up and switch between the levels to keep it interesting?

I've been doing "The Shred" aka "my date with Jillian" for 3 weeks now. I've done it before but never kept track of my progress.This time I am doing it in conjunction with MFP, and am having better results. Week 1: I stuck with Level 1 all week. The first day SUCKED! The third day was much easier, but I still hated how I…

I am also 5'2" and am 33. All the dumb calculators say I should weigh between 115 and 125 or so. I've always been curvy. In high school I was very athletic and weighed 115 and a size 6/8. In college I was less active but hovered at 123lbs and a size 8. My metabolism changed on me when I got near 30, and now at 33 I weigh…

I use them for general stress relief, though appetite control is definitely possible. I wonder if using some of the stress relief/emotional centering ones will help bring curb appetite triggers. I would think peppermint, tea tree, and grapefruit extract would be good ones to start with. I found this article which seems to…
