I am the same with rice. I just CANNOT make myself like brown rice so I still do white rice. I personally am not following a specific "diet" regime. I am logging my calories and being more mindful of my portions, which makes a huge difference. There is one sacrifice I made, I gave up my diet mountain dew…LOVE it so much! I…

I think the weights really depend on you. I agree. I burn with 2 and 3 lbs! I use both.

Try starting out with less weight to begin with and working up to more weight with each level...

If you don't have smaller weights, I have heard of some people using cans out of their pantry as weights…just a thought :)

Hi everyone. This is my second time around doing 30DS. I did this in 2013. My process was to set 2 rest days a week, not necessarily consecutively. I lost 33 inches and 20 lbs last go around. I have roughly 40-50lbs to lose, but I am focusing more on inches than the scale. We can do this!!

Hi everyone! I am sorry…I SHOULD have been in here on 1/4. I am so excited to be on this journey with you. have anyone done 30DS before? I did 30DS in 2013 and lost 33 inches and about 20 lbs. This program works. I have to do my measurements and will get those posted. I haven't started yet. I plan on picking up this…

Are you wearing your fitbit only during exercise or all day long? I wear mine from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. I find mine will vary depending on my activity during the day because it also depends on how active you are. If you are walking around more i.e.: out shopping or in the yard and wearing it it is…

Officially once a week, but unofficially every morning when I get up! :)

Done! :)

Definitely do it. I lost 31.5 inches in 3 weeks...down 3 sizes!! It is well worth it!!

That's awesome! You are doing amazing! Stay positive and keep at it! You will have that Beachbody you are aiming for and more importantly be healthy! Happy for you!

I'm starting today too! I am just about to do the fit test. I am nervous about just doing that! I started a group where we can all go if you all want to join!!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/11885-insanity-partners-starting-2-1-2013

I am just about to complete my Fit Test...very nervous!!!!

I am on day 19 of 30 DS and have already dropped 2 dress sizes and 6 lbs. My endurance is getting better. I don't know if I am INSANITY ready yet...but it has definitely made a difference so far :)

Me too. I have watched a couple you tube videos and YIKES!!!! My plan is to start INSANITY 2/1 right after 30DS.

I am doing the 30DS and walking daily as well as the calorie intake monitoring. It works if you do it. You can do it, just stick with it. We have a group for 30DS. 30 Day Shred Partners Join if you want!

I am doing the same thing...do you think it will really get us ready??? Hoping!!

I am currently doing 30DS in hopeful preparation for starting INSANITY on Feb 1. INSANITY is supposed to be much more intense but the payoff is much more as well. The cost is much higher for INSANITY. I would also recommend doing 30 DS first, then moving onto INSANITY if you feel that is the route you want to go.

I will add you. I am on everyday and also have a group who is currently doing 30DS by Jillian Michaels. We have 93 in the group but about 20 of us are very active daily.

My ex husband used to treat me that way. Unfortunately, my depression got the best of me and it took a serious wake up call for me to take control of my life. I went from 242 to 165 in a 7 month span out of sheer will and determination. I finally realized that I MATTERED and what he said had no control over my life. You…

^^^I am also on Topamax for migraine prevention for 3 years now...but it also is treating my bipolar as a mood stabilizer. I have not had any of the horrible side effects listed in this thread. The one I am replying to is the most similar to my experience. I have found my experience to be very positive. Topamax keeps me…

I am also on Day 4 of 30 DS and planning on starting Insanity at the beginning of February. Let me know if you want to be virtual partners. It's going to be difficult!!
