It makes sense to me. You've adjusted to a new way of eating. Rocking the boat can have various effects. I've noticed if I eat too much junk food now, I literally feel sick.

Ok, someone start a group....I would, but will give the OP (or someone else) time to do so. We had a group the first time I did it, and it really made a difference to me, having people to talk to and keep me accountable. As for knees and joint pain and so forth....the first time I did it, I had some knee and ankle issues…

I did it back in April (not every single day, but I did make it through all 3 levels). Was thinking about starting it again. Have y'all started a group yet? If so, I'm in.

Yay! And good idea on finding a flatter area. I did the first day of Week 2 and had the bright idea of doing my cool down by walking up the steepest hill there is around here. It gave me shin splints, and I could hardly move the next day....it kept me from doing any kind of work out for three days! I did Week 2 Day 2…

Add me. Just turned 51 a couple of weeks ago. I was always one of those skinny girls you love to hate. Age caught up with me. I've decided to get serious for the first time in my life. I could use a friend who knows what I'm going through!

Feel free to add me as well. :)

I'm not supposed to be in the beginning phase, but pretty much am. Maybe we can support each other. I am alternating with C25K, in the hopes that I don't have to go through that every day will make a difference. LOL Anyway, feel free to friend me.

I'm so far behind. I've missed a ton of time. I think I've only made it through Level One 4 or 5 times. The idea of Level Two terrifies me. I have started alternating with C25K. I'm hoping that will help.

Bump for later.

I'm alternating it with Ripped In 30.

All of it. And yes, I just got home from grocery shopping.

Don't feel alone. I'm 51 and have never run (even in high school I tried to get out of it!). I also have the app on my phone, and quite honestly have no real idea what I'm doing....but I'm determined to do it. We can motivate each other!

Wow, really impressive! I was considering going back to 30DS, but you've inspired me to keep trying Ripped.

I'm so far behind (May has just been crazy so far) I've decided to just restart. There's no point in trying to move onto Week 2 when I can barely get through Week 1. Maybe those of us that had to restart can motivate each other...feel free to send me a friend request!

I'm in. I'm on here daily, and can use all the help and motivation I can get. Everyone feel free to add me. :)

I sent you a FR. :) I'd be happy to have more (older!) friends here.

Day 2 of Level one today. I don't know if it's just me, but I'm finding it a lot harder than the 30DS. I know I'm getting a work out, that's for sure. Covered in sweat when I finished!

LOL....I weigh more and am using lighter weights. :) I'm such a weakling. Or old. Or something. I guess for now I'll use the circuit training method. One of these days I'll get a heart rate monitor. I was pushing for one from my kids for my b-day coming up, but they looked at me like I was crazy. Thanks for the info, tho.…

Thank you for the giggle! :)

Thank you for making the spreadsheet! That was my favorite part of the 30DS group, I found it kept me really accountable. I had a tough start to this one, missed the first three days (life got in the way), but I started today...here I go!

I'm starting tomorrow. I took too many rest days with 30DS, but am hoping with having a "sanctioned" (by Jillian, lol) rest day, I will have better luck this time. I didn't take before pics with 30DS, which I really regret. So this time I'm going to....even if only for myself.

I took rest days, but I'm jumping to Ripped in 30. That one actually calls for 1 or 2 rest days, so I'm hoping to do better. I'm mad that I didn't do before pics, I think this time I will.

LOL....you just brought me back to when I was 12! Love it!

30DS is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I did that for the month of April. I'm not terribly fit, so it was quite the workout for me. For May, I'm doing Ripped In 30.

CW: 146 GW: 130 (for now) Body fat...not a clue. Too much!

I'm going to start one, really I am. I just haven't gotten around to it. I peeked at yours....great job, especially for a new blogger!

OMG, I am so sorry. We had Norovirus go through our entire family last year, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I can't even imagine trying to do the shred after that. I hope you and your family are feeling better soon. I'm taking today off. I'm just so exhausted, and work was so....Monday, today! I go in late…

I managed yesterday, and hope to today after work. Level Three really kicks my butt. I just want to fall down when it's over!

Feel free to add me, I've been around MFP for a couple of weeks and am loving it. I've made some friends, but certainly can use some more!

Done for today, although I really had to push myself. My daughter made tacos....they are SOOOO fattening! Even with working out, I think I'll need to take a walk or something.
