Zekni, I know, I know!!! I have a friend who owes me a massage, and I'm waiting til the scrapes and bruises heal before I go in. By then, I'm sure I won't be sore anymore. Good luck to you, gerlombian. I'm really mad at myself because I forgot to buy a couple stickers to go on my car. I went to order them online today, and…

I completed one yesterday. Having a great team with you is absolutely VITAL!! I'm really short, and a couple of the walls simply wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't had friends willing to give me a boost. Lots of strength training, particularly upper body work. I thought I'd done enough of that, but evidently not. I'd…

I just completed a Tough Mudder yesterday. I'm sad that your team abandoned you. I think without friends at your back, it's got to be a lot harder. Congratulations on sticking with it. It's an amazing accomplishment!!! Now tell me this: when can I lift my arms over my head again without wanting to cry?

I agree- pounds on a scale are not the only measure of success. In fact, it's probably the most flawed way to measure your success. If you are losing fat, but adding muscle, you won't see a significant difference on the scale. Also, you could try calling around to the local hospitals or care centers. I bet many of them…

Tara, Thanks for the feedback- I've suspected the cumulative effect is where it really counts. I feel fine today. I didn't feel at all fatigued from level 1. As Kory so aptly put it, I LOVE to feel sore the next day, and feel like I really worked hard and feel sore the next day. Are any of you doing any exercise beyond the…

Ok, so I was really slow getting started on this. I have been so crazy busy this week that I haven't had time. I have gone to the gym, just not doing the 30ds at home. I finally had time and did level 1, day 1. I did sweat, but I think I'm going to move on to level 2. While I am overweight, I do work out 5-6 days a week,…

I'm in!!! I asked for, and got the 30DS from MIL for my birthday last year, but then never actually used it. I belong to a gym that has a daycare, and it's much easier to work out with my kids safely contained. But, I saw the "Ultimate Before and After" thread, and decided I should really give it a try. Having you guys to…

I bought a HRM a couple years ago. I was really tempted by the Polars; however, the battery in the chest strap has to be replaced by the factory, which means mailing it in. I ended up getting a Timex. It was about $50, and has lasted 2.5 years now with no battery replacement. When the chest strap battery DOES die, I can do…
