ok..i have sucky news today. i'm so bummed. i slipped and fell in the shower this morning. i hit my head and back. i just got back from the hospital and they don't think i have a concussion. so i'll be recovering...hopefully i'll be working on L2 in the next few days. i'll still be checking in on you guys. i'll probably do…

thanks for the tip (and the link) and the motivation!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!! good job!!!

AWESOME! ROCK it out!

ok hi y'all!! i usually weigh in on sun. so i'm going to report my progress from yesterday's weigh in. i GAINED a pound. but i'm not totally surprised. fri. i went out with the girls for margaritas and then had In N Out double double (the hubby bought it; i was weak and drunk:drinker: and inhaled it). then, sun. i ate…

maybe just post next week at about this time? it'll be more accurate. no prob!

i can relate. i am 38. i got married about 4 years ago. we moved to another city and my life was all about driving to and from work. i gained about 30 lbs. in the last 2 years. my husband and i went to fertility doctor about 3 years ago. they ran tests, and i got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. the doctor said he will not…

i worked out today (run/walked for 35 min) but didn't get to do 30DS today. then, i had a meeting with a client, and by the time i got back home, i felt absolutely sick to my stomach. i can't see myself doing the Shred today. i feel bad because i was on a roll. but i plan on making it up tomorrow. i need to get a HRM...any…

yawn....just woke up...dragging today....last day of level 1 today for me. @ ms_erica: GREAT job! way to push! i'll be baaaaaack.

great advice!

L1, D4 Today was a GREAT workout. Took yesterday off to get a mental/physical break from 30DS. I was able to get thru with more energy, and effort. It was definitely a lot better compared to Days 1-2. I will do one more at L1, then it's one to L2 for the next 5 days after that. WELCOME TO ALL NEWCOMERS! @ almondbliss: i…

tonight i took the day off from 30DS, but i felt inclined to check in with my peeps on this topic. @shaylynna89- WELCOME! yes join in, we just started! @HealthierMama- first of all, CONGRATS on sticking with 30DS for a month! how about turning off the sound and putting your own music to the workouts for motivation??…

L1, D3 Tonight I opted for just the music, and turned off Jillian. Just for variety. I think I did pretty well. I notice I struggle with Circuit 1. But after that hump, I enjoy the exercises after that (well, except for the bicycle abs...at least I did more today than yesterday). I might take a day off from 30DS tomorrow…

you look great!!!

i will have to compare this HRM...thanks for the tip!

i will check out this site! thanks for the tip!!!

i will check out the polar models, for sure! thanks! that's what i was looking for!

I agree! I'm starting to really buckle down on food spending, and eating in more, and buying real food, and it does cost way less than processed/fast food.

@TakeOne: Good job pushing through! I know what you mean! I had a long day at work (very stressful and negative), had a long 3.2 mile walk with my colleagues, long commute home...came home STARVING...LOL...and then, worked out to the Shred. At least it's only 20 min. long! Way to go! @momandwife: Welcome! I get bored…

L1, D2 I just finished the Shred right now. On Tue and Wed I walk 5k with my work buds, so I got hm, ate dinner, and then just worked out again. The 2nd day went quicker. Although I couldn't complete those dang bicycle abs! Hate those! I can't til I finish a set without dying. I'm doing additional supplement cardio, too.…

i agree with mostly what everyone has said here. also, if you're plateauing, you need to increase the intensity of your workouts because your body probably has adjusted to the workouts that you have been doing. change it up and do something different. step up the intensity. hope that helps,too. :) you're doing great so…

@ThresaGlass: yeah, i plan on doing it 5 days out of the week just because my body needs variety. i am still adding at least 30-40 minutes of additional cardio to it, though. @sweebum: i hate the jumping jacks, too!!!!!! but i tell myself it's only 30 seconds...ugh...i'm sure it'll get easier.

good idea @HealthierMama for making a separate ticker for the Shred. good motivator! @TakeOne: I actually like the Abs portion, to be honest....it gives my knees a rest...and I get to lie down and catch my breath a little! LOL

I JUST finished it right now! L1 D1: DONE!!! The first circuit I was hating life. The second circuit I was feeling the burn. The third circuit....I was flying home!! 29 more days to go!! Ok, so to keep me going, I would take one phrase that Jillian said, and have that as a mantra in my mind for the whole workout. Today it…

thanks for sharing your wif'e's success story. it is truly inspirational. so awesome that you acknowledge and is super proud of her.:flowerforyou:

ooo...before and after pix...that's a great idea. i just took a sort of "before" pix a few weeks ago. i agree with TakeOne, only if it shows a difference!! excited for everyone to join. i'm definitely motivated to start tomorrow in the morning!!!

THANKS FANTASTIC!

Okay, everyone can post their starting weights or whatever you use to measure. Then, check in on Monday mornings for results. But also check in daily to post progress. Mention what Level and what day you are on, since we're kinda all starting on different days. Guen

@ms_erica: awesome!!

@TakeOne, RandyLynn, sweebum: cool!! I'm so motivated now!!!
