  • Awesome! Thanks for reminding me of why I'm doing this too! I'm on Day 7 - L1 today. I think I'm going to do L1 and L2 for 15 days each like you did. I've had to take a day off every 3 days since this has been killing my knees. You should take another pic of your arms, since you're holding your phone in it instead of…
  • Well I took yesterday off to rest my "crunchy" knee... so I'm on Day 7 tonight. My body responded really well the other week when I took a few days off from the gym, so as much as I'm wanting to do this everyday, I think I may have to take a break every 3-5 days! On days I'm not doing 30DS (and on days when I am doing it…
  • I had a few NSVs today! Finished Day 6 of 30 Day Shred and feel great... it's amazing how quickly your body gets used to it. I had no problem finishing all rounds of cardio. My knee is feeling a little "crunchy" so I may take a day off to let it heal up. Does anyone have this problem? I started taking fish oil again to see…
  • I agree - no diets! It's about making right choices -- you can lose weight and never have to pig out, all while feeling full and satisfied. And of course you're allowed to have treats, but they are treats, a cookie or two is fine as long as you allot the calories for it in your day.
  • Finished Day 5 last night! Jillian was right... it is getting easier!
  • this sort of happened to me last week by accident... the first half of the week i was on track or under my calorie goals and had several good work outs, and the last half i had family visiting so my calorie counts were a little high (but we did lots of walking while they were here). i assumed i hadnt dropped a pound, but…
  • hi all! i started 30DS last thursday, so im on the same timeline as you. i had to take sunday off because i pulled a muscle in my calf (ugh i think it was from those lunges/arm curls), but was all healed up and back at it yesterday for day 4. i have the most trouble with the jump rope reps (i think im too clumsy for it…
  • congrats! keep at it!!
  • I'd love to join this group if you have room! My current weight is 230. My weekly goals: - Full week of 30DS! (Had to skip one day last week, thanks to a pulled calf muscle) - 4 gym visits - 8 glasses of water/day - Make mindful choices when out to dinner or drinks!
  • i bought 30 day shred today - should arrive tomorrow (thanks amazon!).... can't wait to start. so inspiring!
  • congrats! hope you heal up soon... you just motivated me to go ahead and buy 30 day shred, guess ill start on friday when it gets here!
  • you look great, congrats!
  • I've gone through many phases since undergrad where I was fully dependent on coffee! I only gave it up because I didn't like feeling addicted to something which altered my level of energy. Now I drink coffee only on occasion as a treat or snack (and try to remember to get decaf). I agree with everyone else... my energy…
  • congrats! i haven't been in size 12 since i was in 7th or 8th grade! i can't wait to join you!
  • I've tried to find this out..... I think through some research (and a NYT article) the average large NY slice (plain) is about 600 cals.
  • i'm 5'8" and currently 233 (240 was my heaviest)... i wear a loose 18 in jeans (yay 16's should be returning soon!) my ideal weight is anywhere between 150-170 once i get out of the 200's. my lowest adult weight was 170 and i felt and looked great!
  • like everyone else who chimed in, im so proud of you. ill definitely be thinking of you as i keep counting my calories too! just wondering, have you changed or added new foods to your diet or are you just strict to staying under your calorie count?
