With the way the weather's been recently - anyone any ideas on how to incorporate gales into resistance routines :)?

Only 3 Week 4s left to do and then I will be free of Jillian forever!! (or at least until the next time!!!) :bigsmile:

I have to agree there - I have shopped about the charity shops for clothes the 'next size down' and sometimes even smaller if they were a total bargain. Also did the same in the sales..and have a couple of pairs of trousers I got for £4 each in a sale over the summer, that I can very nearly get into! Saves money and its a…

But, but the Wii Fit tells me that I am overweight and have to lose another 20 lbs to reach my ideal BMI! However, anyone that knows me, tells me that my weight loss so far is fantastic and not to lose too much more.... Which should I believe? :wink:

Its been a while since I posted here - but apart from a couple of days rest I ahve been keeping up with Jillian;s ripped in 30. I have mixed things up a bit - alternated each day between w2 and w3 until I had completed all w2s and then started alternating between 3 and 4 - think I only have one w3 session and 3 w4 sessions…

I did Chalean Extreme at the start of this year - I bought a set of dumbell weights with three sizes of weights - 0.5, 1.25 and 2.5Kg wieghts (about 1,3 and 5.5lbs) . This gives you the range of weights to lift from 2lb in each arm to 20lbs each arm. The only thing I found was that it slowed you down because you had to…

W3 D3. I never thought I would say this after doing a couple of W3 sessions - but that wasn't that bad tonight! Getting *slightly* easier!!

Thanks! I looked at the full Leisure membership, but I have my trusty set of weights at home, which I am far more likely to use. I really don't think I would have gotten this far if I had to go to a gym miles away. The chances of me leaving the house after a long way at work are slim to none - pop upstairs for 40 mins -…

Woof - Wk2 Day 6 in the bag. Been mixing it up with a couple of days from Wk3 - really glad I did as I don't think that I could do two Wk3s in a row! Wk3 is the first that I have had to do nearly all the modifiers, so I'm dreading Wk4!! But I suppose I thought that Wk2 was tough until I tried 3...now its a walk in the park…

Happy Thanksgiving to all our US friends! I have to admit I slacked yesterda - started to do Level one, got halfway through the first strength section and gave up...I just needed a day off!. So made up for it by doing D6W1 (But I did 2 days of w2 earlier in the week to mix it up a bit..)

W1d5 done! Running man getting just a wee bit easier, but still don't like those side lunges. I can feel some v raises coming in later weeks ;)

Did d4 w1 yesterday, and just to mix it up a little d1 w2 today! Also managed a mile at the swimming yesterday, and since my hammies were still tight, did the p90x stretch routine. And boy did that feel good...I'll need to try to find some time to do some more yoga to keep myself supple. Back to w1 tomorrow, and after…

I've joined south lanarkshire's scheme for swimming (even though I don't live in south Lanarkshire, they have the best pool by far round these parts). Previously I was paying over £4 for a swim, but now pay £13 a month and can swim every day if I wanted to! They even have lanes sessions where you can swim without fear of…

Good taste, or tastes good?! I know which I'd prefer!!

Phew - W1D3 done. It really is more challenging than the Shred, my hammies are aching so much I'm going to have to do a power of yoga to stretch them out again..tight, tight, tight! Never mind JM being a drill sargeant - she's just a mean old bully! I don;t know what I would do if someone stood on my tummy when I was doing…

Day one Done! Even though there are no v raises, I had forgotten from the shred how much I hated the side lunges with arm lifts. At least this time it's only 30 sec chunks, so slightly more bearable. And after doing punches with weights, my arms were flying!! Need to up the weights a wee bit tomorrow, but after a good swim…

Hullaw!

Level 3 Day 10 - Done! Never have to do another set of scissor crunches or vlifts ever again (until the next time!) Thanks for all your support in helping get me through this... Just need to work up some energy to do some measurements.. Looking forward to starting the Rip!

29 down, 1 to go!! Can't wait to get measuring...and then going to buy smaller trousers again ;)))))

Got 2 level 3s completed today - so caught up. 28 Days down, only TWO to go!! Mind you, it's another 2 sessions with the leg scissor thingies..

26 days in total completed (I think I'm still one behond, but I promise I'll catch that up tomorrow...would do it today, but really need to do some housework - when is Jillian bringing out the housework shredding in 30 mins dvd?? ;)) Level1 - 10 sessions Level2 - 10 sessions Level3 - 6 sessions Phew!

Fantastic photo! What reminder of your achievement so far. I have kept one pair just as a wee reminder of how things were, and threw the rest out when they started to look like clown pants on me! Since I started this journey, I pop to the local charity store, and buy a pair of jeans a size smaller than I currently take,…

I've been away with work for a few days, but have managed to fit in 2 sessions of level3 and 1 of level2 since Monday. By my calculations I'm only a day behind, but I'll get that sorted on Saturday so that I can finish on time . It has to be working, cos 4 different people said to me today that I was getting skinnier(!)…

It's been a busy weekend renovating, but after two solid days DIY-ing I managed to muster up enough energy to do a double shift of level 2 and 3 last night. And then went to bed! Just done another level 3 tonight, and boy oh boy did I feel it. My abs are killing me, but in a good way... I never thought I'd hear myself say…

That is absolutely fantastic. I know how you feel, as this is my next milestone - I've not been normal since before I was out of nappies!!

Day 18 - more than half way there !! I'd say that it is all downhill frm here, but after doing a couple of Level3 session I'm not so sure! I've been away with work for a few days, so have been using resistance bands rather than weights - Had to modify som eht of the exercises to use the bands, but glad I didnt let myself…

Another day of level 2 completed. Not sure of the number, but will post up tomorrow.. Thanks leobaby for keeping those scores on the doors ;)

Phew! Level 3 done and I've caught up. Now throw me in the shower before I flood the place;)

Level2 day 5 (?) completed. Never managed a shred last night cos we were at the Alice Cooper Halloween show which was fantastic! Didn't shred, but probably jumped about and danced enough to make up for it ;)! I was hoping to do a level 3 to catch up, but then was going to back out, until I read the previous posts... Wish…

Level1 Day 10 Over! No more level one for me..L2 tomorrow and then start mixing it with L3 - for a laugh! I'm going to be away with work this week, and won't be able to take my weights with me - anyone done the Shred with resistance Bands? How did you get on??
