  • I just got an Apple Watch myself and I found a way to get exercise synced to MFP as well as just steps. In the Health App on the iPhone under sources --> click My fitness pal and make sure all categories are "on" to ensure exercise is properly shared with MFP. This then includes steps and exercise in MFP. It cleverly…
  • This is great, thanks!
  • I'm 5'8" currently at 168lbs but hoping to get to around 158-160lbs. Any lower than that I don't think would suit my body shape!
  • I love making fresh juices! I've never done a Juice diet, or a juice detox or anything like that, but I almost always have a juice everyday, usually for breakfast. To me the benefit is you can cram so much veg/fruits into a glass of juice that would take ages to eat raw, and I know I couldn't get as many nutrients though…
  • I'm having the exact same problem, and I just did Day 11 today. I also do the workout bare foot, so maybe thats the issue. I'm thinking I might have to give it a break for a few days.
  • Well I finally managed to do the unmodified push-ups today for the first time!!! I could only do a few of them each time (about 5) but so pleased I managed it!
  • I'm upto Day 9 today (2 days of Level 1 left)!! Anyone got any tips for going onto Level 2? What kind of exercises are in it? Also does anyone find it annoying in the lunges section when Jillian says 'Just a couple more' and then it's still about 7 or 8 lunges to go!! Lately I've had the sound turn down and blast some…
  • I think after I've managed the first 30 days (doing the levels normally), I might try this method of alternating the levels for the next 30 days.
  • I had two days break this weekend since I was visiting my Mum for the weekend, but was back to work today - Day 6 (L1) done!! I think the rest did me good as I felt much stronger today!
  • I didn't tell anyone I'm trying to lose weight. I live by myself too, so nobody notices what my exercise/eating is like either. I've lost about 12lbs since Xmas, and have another 8lbs I want to lose. My hairdresser noticed and told me not to lose too much more - she said my face was looking thinner! Nobody else has really…
  • Day 4 completed today!! It's getting a bit easier now!
  • Day 4 (Level 1) done! I actually managed to do the side lunges exercise without stopping today for the first time! My arms must be getting stronger. I don't think I will ever be able to do the un-modified push ups though! It is hard enough doing the modified ones!
  • Keep going! The pain really gets less after the first 2 or 3 days. :) I started doing lunges last week (before starting the 30DS) & I felt I couldn't sit down for like 2 or 3 days, but now I can do them fine without as much pain.
  • Day 3 (level 1) done! Those side lunges/arm lifts and squats with weights are a killer though! It burns my arms so much! I don't find any of the ab workouts in level 1 that hard, but I think it may be because I already had been doing some bicyle crunches in the last few weeks so am probably used to them - hopefully the ab…
  • I will be doing L1 Day 3 later! Only thing I've noticed is my weight going up, not down though since I started. I hope it's just water retention or something - did anyone else find this in the first few days?
  • I've just done Day 2 of Level 1! Don't feel sore afterwards, but it sure did burn while doing it!! I find the squats (while pushing up weights) and the side lunges the hardest!
  • My 30DS Dvd arrived yesterday and I did my first day yesterday too. Was hard work, but I'm looking forward to completing the next 30 days! I have about 10lbs left to lose and hoping this will at least push me a bit closer to my goal weight, and help lose some inches at the same time.
  • Hi Everyone, I'm from the UK too. I signed up a while ago, but not posted until now. I live in Medway at the moment. I've lost 6Kgs since Christmas, but my weight hasn't changed in the last month or two, so I'm making an effort to use this site so I can drop the final 4kgs I want to lose! Feel free to add me as a friend -…
