I was planning on doing it straight through but turns out I have to take Friday off cause that's going to be a crazy day for me. I was thinking of maybe making it up by doing it twice on Saturday, with a few hours in between....gotta think about that. :huh: Have you guys gone ahead and checked out levels 2 & 3 to see what…

Done with day 3. A teensy bit easier but I still wanted to scream. Hopefully by day 5 , my body will have gotten used to the torture and cooperate better. I am THE WORST at crunches, and that dates back to my PhysEd days loooong ago. :sad:

You're not the only one. I have a hard time keeping up too. This is extreme exercise for me so I'm surprised I'm doing as well as I am cause I thought I would pass out after 5 min. Sometimes I have to take a pause and have some water, Jillian would not be pleased with me. LOL!!! I TRY to do everything as best as I can but…

I'm like you girls! This Saturday makes a month that I started reducing my calorie intake and I've been exercising every day for 3 weeks. I've lost 10lbs and I've definitely lost inches. My advice is if it's working for you, keep at it, make minor/major changes when you feel the time is right. I play mind games with myself…

Awesome!! Before you know it, it'll be December & you'll have reached your goal!!! You CAN do this!

Same here!

I feel your pain. Literally.

LMAO!! Yes!! She says "a few more" and it's never-ending. I think after tomorrow I will mute her & listen to Pandora, something loud & happy that will make me move!!!!!! :)

Done! I walked 3 miles beforehand so I think that loosened me up a bit. It wasn't as bad as yesterday but it was still a kick in the butt!!! Great job everyone!!

I am SO SORE too!! But I love it! (Till it's time to get up from my desk or go up/down the stairs!) I will be doing my 30DS workouts in the evenings. I head to the park after work and usually walk 2 miles and then head home, I'm going to continue that, the only difference being that now Jillian Michaels awaits me to…

I don't recommend one of the "crazy diets". Sure they work for a few days but then you're back to square one feeling super frustrated. Track your calories and exercise, that's what really works. And the scale is a tricky thing, you may not lose anything for a week and then suddenly you're 5lbs lighter. Don't give up!…

So glad I'm not the only one that was huffing & puffing through it! I took my before pics & took my measurements, now I will TRY to hold off on measuring again till at least day 5 or 7. (Or 3, LOL!) The worst for me were the pushups & crunches. Need to work on those. I will definitely be following mostly Anita. :blushing:…

Agreed! The excitement I feel is beating out my pain & soreness. LOL! (So far) :tongue:

Adding your own music is a great idea. I am pretty sure that by day 4 Jillian is going to get annoying. I found her motivational today but it was my first day. Ha ha! Good luck on continuing 30DS! :)

Me!!!!! It's crazy.

Great job!! You look great!!

Me too!!! All these people getting their butts kicked are scaring me but I can't wait to start!!!!

It definitely depends on the person, in my opinion. I am currently consuming 1200 calories a day sometimes I go a little bit over but for the most part I stay in that ballpark. I do about an hour of cardio per day, I drink tons of water, I eat 3 meals a day, 2 snacks & dessert. I may dip into my exercise calories if I am…

Exactly! I agree completely. I think back to all the crap I was having before I started MFP and I cringe at the ginormous amounts of calories I just downed without a thought or care. Now I think twice!!

Wow!!!! Fantastic job!! You look AWESOME!!! CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them all! :)

Thanks!! :)

LMAO :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think you should add fruits and vegetables to your diet and eat more often. Stay away from "heavy" foods. That's what has been working for me.

Fantastic Job!!! You look amazing!!! :)

LOL @ girly weights. That's exactly what they are. What do you suggest? I thought 3lbs was a good start since I've seen a lot of USE CANNED FOODS suggestions & most cans I buy are 1lb max. Thanks!!

Thanks!! :happy:

You look great!! :)

I find that it's way easier to track calories here than points on WW. I started on WW (the free, generic version) & it was a pain in my butt cause I ate tons of fruit & veggies, didn't use up my points & felt like I had to eat when I wasn't' hungry. I still eat some WW foods. I am super lazy & forgetful & I've managed to…

Hi! Feel free to add me. I'm pretty new here. I'm 34, trying to lose a total of 30lbs with a 1200 calorie diet and exercise. (That's a first for me!) I've been at it since mid-Jan & I'm down 9lbs so far & feeling super motivated. I don't really know what the hell I'm doing but I'll learn as I go I hope. Good Luck to all!!…
