Great tip, there! I couldn't remember what exactly was different from 30DS, but that's it! I just completed Day 1 and was having trouble getting the form correct. I've been having knee pain lately, and that was one that gave me trouble during 30DS, so I am taking it S-L-O-W and really focusing on correct form. I'm not sure…

I'm late to the game here and just getting started. Anybody else just beginning? I'm not planning to do it daily either. I completed 30DS in Jan/Feb, doing the workout daily, and I was soooooo burned out by the end. I'm planning to alternate with my regular running workout and pilates. Day 1 down yesterday. Level 1 doesn't…

Also, ARE WALKER'S LAYS???? I never realized that!

I love them and I will eat them until my mouth goes numb.

I'm a big fan of yoga and pilates! It feels great. I haven't been as good about it lately as I should be (been amping up the running for a race and feeling pretty wiped out... I know I should to it), and I can feel my hips getting weak and muscles getting tight all over. I'm just starting to get into other kinds of…

YES on couch-to-5k! Go slowly. Make sure you have rest days between your running days. Repeat days and weeks of the program as needed. Be careful of your knees... if you feel any sharp pains, stop and walk. Distance covered is distance covered, whether you are walking or running it. You might want to consider other kinds…

My 2 cents as someone running similar distances... what you ate for dinner the night before makes a huge difference. I felt like I had no fuel in my body running on a french fry dinner. I felt like a champion after a healthy and balanced protein/carb/veggie dinner. Maybe try adjusting the ratios of how how you are fueling…

I agree with the folks saying slow down. My #1 tip in addition to that is to remember that you don't have to follow the schedule exactly. If you aren't quite reaching the goals or don't feel too good doing it, repeat the week until you have it licked. I just ran my first 10k this week!!! The programs works! Have fun with…

I run 3 or 4 days a week. I aim for every-other day, but sometimes other things get in the way. I try to shoot for no less than 2 miles each time. I feel good about 3. I've been expanding my distance, so on the weekend I'll do a longer run (I'm up to six miles now). Generally, I think if you shoot for no less than 30…

Under food, there is a recipe tab. You can add all your ingredients in and save it. It's really helpful if you eat the same things fairly often. That said, after a few months of adding all my ingredients, I got a much better idea of how many calories are in what. Now I just scroll through the foods that have already been…

I bought the cheapest jeans I could find at Walmart when my pants all stopped fitting. I cried when I saw the size on them, but I felt so much better having clothes that actually fit my body!!!! I wore the same jeans and pair of slacks for months. After a year of counting calories and being more active (little…

Yeah, I don't really get why it seems to be geared towards women. It's good exercise... body weight exercises and weights. I highly recommend it to anyone. The patter is really the only part that is woman specific in places (she talks about jean shopping, or working to define certain muscle groups you might think only guys…

No worries! :)

She was responding to the original post, not yours.

Rach, look at those SHOULDERS!!! And Tseli... that WAIST!!! You guys are awesome!!

Yay! Great job!! This morning when I weighed, I was back down to 155 lbs, so I guess that means my total weight loss was actually 3.5 lbs. I'm so thrilled by these results, I may jump back into RI30 sooner than I had planned!

Yay! Thank you!! :)

The way she maps it out is 10 days at level 1, 10 at 2, and 10 at 3. But really, I would do whatever you are comfortable with. And yes, I moved on, even though I was taking water breaks. I just finished today! Very exciting!! I lost around 2" all over.

We did it!!! I'm done!!!!!! Here are my results: DAY 1 -> DAY 30 Bust: 38 -> 36 (-2") Underbust: 35 ->32 (-3") Natural Waist: 32 ->30 (-2") Belly Button: 34.5 ->31.75 (-2.75") Hips: 38 -> 36.5 (-1.5") Booty: 41 ->40.5 (-0.5") Arms and Legs: -> no change (I should have measured a different part!) Weight Loss: 158.5 -> 156.5…

Yay! I just finished Day 29 too! I'm sooo ready to be done with this level. Yesterday I felt strong and knocked it out, today I felt like I barely made it through. I would take a rest day, but there's only ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!

Hahahaha, yeah, that pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject! I'm finally getting my feet up to my bum, though. When I started, I felt like I could barely get them off the ground. It has definitely gotten louder. ;)

I'm done with Day 6 now too! I'm using 6 pound weights for everything now, woo-hoo! I've made peace with the fact that I can't do full on push ups for all of the traveling push ups, or stay off my knees for all of the dumb bell/ leg raises. Rather than taking too many breaks through those sections like I have been for the…

Ugh, you are clearly feeling more ambitious than I was feeling today! Go you!

I've done it using the RaviAna dvds, which are hands down my very favorite yoga dvds ever. I've been doing them for years!

I just finished my Day 5 today (I feel so far behind all of you!). I'm getting so sick of the music and hearing Jillian's voice. I think the moves on this level are challenging, but also really boring. I'm getting to the point that I really just need to get through these next five days and move on to the next thing. I'm…

Thanks, jbuc! For the supermans, maybe try alternating lifting your arms and your legs and see if that helps. I'm done with Day 4 now. I didn't have as much oomph in me as yesterday. It may be time for a rest day soon. I'm feeling soreness in my lower abs/hips area, and my upper abs/lower ribs feel like somebody punched…

I'm continually amazed by how much every single day seems to count in these workouts. I feel stronger every day! And I agree, I think this level will bring big changes to my body.

I agree, I just did day 3 today and it was ever so slightly easier. I hate that for two of the exercises, the camera focuses in on Anita before you even see what Natalie is doing. I want to know what I'm *supposed* to be doing before I decide if I'm going to modify it or not! That crunch thing is focused on Anita almost…

I'm a day behind you guys, but going strong! Today felt slightly easier than the first couple days for me at this level. I felt like I was destroyed, but not actually dying and the end of the third circuit. I can't believe my body is capable of handling this workout, but it's amazing what you can adapt to when you push…

Y'all are scaring me on my rest day! :sad:
