  • I have severe endometriosis and cysts. I don't know where you live, but I went to a doctor trained in naprotechnology and he was awesome. Previous doctors said I had little hope, but after surgery it took us three cycles to conceive. They also helped my friend with pcos by doing an ovarian wedge resection. She now has a…
  • When my husband and I were struggling to conceive, I stumbled across this: http://www.eggsploitation.com/ I think it's important to look into this from all aspects and to safeguard your health. Best of luck!
  • Thanks for the support and kind words. I hope when my cycles returns this will all work itself out. Metabolism slows when we are unhappy? Wow!
  • That's good to hear! I will plan on keeping up with the daily workouts, but ease back just a bit. Maybe lots of long walks and light weights. Thanks for the input!:smile: Three kids and you still manage to keep up with amazing workouts! You're my new hero!

  • I'm on week 4; I just started yesterday. I am only down two pounds but I am finally dropping some belly inches and zippering almost all of pre-preggo clothes (they don't all look great, but hey, I'm a work in progress :smile: I will post results when I finish
  • I'm on week 4! Woo Hoo! I can't wait to finish. Week 3 was really hard and I am so glad it's over. How is everyone doing?
  • I just started level 3 today. Man. It was tough. Wow, lots of moves requiring coordination and seems to work the same muscle groups mercilessly. Anyone else feeling his way?
  • My unexpected fix was childbirth. Yea, I know. You'd think I'd be wider? Somehow, someway 8 months postpartum my butt and thighs are smaller than they have been for years. oddly, I am carrying around an extra 6 lbs but I wear the same pant size. The weight redistributed differently. i am not as small on top. i think I am…
  • Day two was crap... I was sore and Jillian annoyed me. However, I think day 3 is the hump day for all of her levels ( at least it seemed so with 30ds). I feel better today and I have some hope :)
  • I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian. My parents were both converts. I was baptised as an infant and I am still attending.
  • I just started ripped in 30, I really like it so far!
  • I had to mentally prepare to work out. When I started dieting and doing workouts I didn't see the scale budge either and it drove me crazy. My friend told me to focus on dieting first and then hit the workouts. So for 2 months I just focused on what I was eating and did little stuff like parking the car far away or taking…
  • I just got to 137 last week! I'm a new mom and have dropped 52 pounds since her birth in July. I cook almost every night lots of vegan friendly dishes. Do you use allrecipes?
  • I went to a Levi's outlet store and wanted to buy bootlegs or something like that a few months after I gave birth. The sales lady looked at me like I was crazy and pointed to an extremely small row. I figured that should tell me something, so I was determined to find a pair that was ok. She measured me, they have this new…
  • Just finished day 1! I think JM really took into account what people said. She kept saying that she won't repeat moves and she seems much less, well, robotic. I think I like it. I had to modify the push ups in the beginning and I still can't do thos side raises without the bottom leg bent. Good luck, everybody! :smile:
  • I just finished 30ds yesterday and took today as a rest day. I bought ri30 yesterday and was planning on starting tomorrow! I am in, in, in!!!!
  • Yup. ^ What they said. She feels guilty for wanting t o pig out at the buffet and is totally jealous. On my wedding day a friend who has jealousy issues said, " nice earrings" no congrats, no good luck, no compliments etc. after drooping 51 pounds of baby weight, I saw her this past weekend. Many people said how good I…
  • I just finished today. I am down 5 pounds (142 to 137) and lost about 10 inches. I am also down a full size and then some. While I may not be bikini ready, I look mostly like me again ( before the baby who is now 8.5 months old). The biggest difference is in my butt, thighs an upper waist. My husband reached out for my…
  • I have only lost 1.5 pounds. At first i gained a good bit, 3 pounds. I am on level 2 day 6. While the weight seems to be stubborn, I have lost inches and tightened up. At the beginning I was squeezing into a size 8 and now my 6s fit. I seem to be down a size and my shoulders look good. I'm crossing my fingers that the post…
  • Jessie, I am a bit ahead of you. I wanted to repost this to help encourage you. Let's keep each other motivated: I started February 22 and I take a rest day every 5 days or so. I am on level 2 day 6. This work out has been the number one game changer for me post-partum. I gained a whopping 58 pounds and was up to 188…
  • I started February 22 and I take a rest day every 5 days or so. I am on level 2 day 6. This work out has been the number one game changer for me post-partum. I gained a whopping 58 pounds and was up to 188 before I gave birth in July (pre-pregnancy weight usually low 130s). I lost a good bit after the swelling went down…
