Looking for female friends working towards toning up for a holiday/vacation/beach season. Oh and any Brits out there?? lol

I did this last year and it was very effective. After ill health I'm returning to it on Saturday, so if anyone wants support please feel free to add me! It's tough, but life changing!

Thank you for all your replies and encouragement. Shapefitter - I'm seeing my doctor on a weekly basis. I was only diagnosed with anemia last week. I've been on iron supplements for 4 days but I feel worse than ever. Can't lift my arms, it's too much effort and I keep feeling faint. Naley2322, I'll have to give that a go I…

I'm up for it! Legs are my only real issue area for toning. I'll add you all :)

I would love to join if there is still space. A holiday at the end of May is the perfect incentive to ouch for a 5pound plus weight loss :)

These transformations are incredible. Thank you all for sharing!

OMG Inspirational! Thank you for sharing :)

My fave are the lemon cupcakes as a low cal alternative. I like the korma to, although it was a little watery, but that's probably my cooking skills!!

I'm on level 2 and bored stiff of it. My sinus's are giving me problems doing the cardio bits and my left shoulder clicks whenever I lift anything. Not seeing the results I thought I would to be honest! Any one doing Ripped in 30 after the shred? Could do a follow on group for it. I want to fit in 2 rounds before I head to…

I crave pastry, sugar, pastry cake and erm . . pastry. Dreading next week :/ lol

That's great!! I'm on day 2 of level 2, not lost any weight but I have lost inches. Stick with it! :)

I have been on it for 10 days, start level 2 tomorrow. So far I haven't lost pounds BUT I feel SO much stronger, more agile and I have lost 4 and half inches from my waist, hips, neck and arms. It's worth the pain. Just imagine you are punching her when you do the boxing bit ;)

It's incredible what a 20 pound loss can do, that's my goal! You look fab :) well done

Bump :)

I wear my running trainers now. I used to workout on the elliptical and 30DS barefoot in my living room. But then I tore a tendon in my foot doing the last set of jumping jacks, which put me out of action for 4 weeks. And barefoot on the elliptical gave me shin splints! Shame because I love going barefoot around my home :(

I started the 30DS 7 days ago, 5 days in I'd gone up 7 pounds!!! Today I jumped on the scales to monitor it and the 7 pounds has gone. Must be water weight :)

Bump . . . So need to try out some of these dishes!!

24 going on 25 next month! On here everyday, currently doing 30DS and on a mission to get to 135 pounds. Feel free to add me if you're like minded :)

That is incredible!!! Well done, given me the inspiration I needed to carry on with the 30DS :)

I will be working out all weekend. Might step it up and try level 2 tomorrow. Level 1's getting a bit easy.

My husband is trying to get me on protein shakes :/

I am toying with the idea of doing this. Had a couple of false starts with the shred last year. But giving it my all now and 3 days in I want to do it twice a day. We must be mad!

Inkmonster - I struggle with the lunges, can't balance, lunge and hold weights at the same time :s I fall over. I can only do push ups on my knees, but they're getting easy (day 3 level 1). Crazycleo - My calves hurt a bit today. Anyone else feel super hungry after the work out? Not sure if it;s my body craving food or my…

I imagine I'm punching her on the boxing session. Just done day 2, feeling good! Getting blood circulated to parts of the body I've not used in a while - working a desk job has really screwed my circulation up! One thing I love about the workout is the first half is hard, but then second half eases up, just when you're…

Woken up today feeling really good after day 1 yesterday. Tammy - I did my back in first time I did the 30DS. You just have to take it easy and ease yourself into it. I ended up on crutches with a herniated disc :/

Start date - Feb 20th. Bikini holiday in 32 days! ;)

I'm on day 1 :) Crazycleo - your measurements are my exact goal! Weight 152.5 pounds Waist 30" Hips 42" R Thigh 24" L Thigh 24" Arms 12" BMI 26.6" R Calf 15.5" L Calf 15" UK size 10 tops, 14 jeans.

I am joining :) Start tomorrow. I've done it once before but gave up halfway through. Off on holiday in 4 and half weeks - what better incentive then that?! Stick with it everyone!
