You look perfect!

I do the almond thing too and sometimes all natural trail mix- no chocolate chips or anything just dried fruit, seeds, etc. I think my problem at the moment is I need to food shop again and replenish!

That makes sense. What you have to do probably is still have the 3pm snack but make it fruit or veggies. When I want something sweet if i eat fruit I feel better but that is IF I can make myself eat the fruit. I don't think I want it because my body is wanting something bad but if I do it anyway I am glad I did. Same with…

I had a horrible week last week too. hang in there!

I just finished day 10 and only now do I feel a difference in my endurance. I am scared to go to level 2 tomorrow! I still cannot do the lateral raises without taking 2 breathers. I miss a lot of bicycle crunches too.

started about 2 weeks ago. You can add me. You SHOULD weigh yourself and measure before yous tart just so you can see how far you come. You might regret it if you don't look. And even though you feel like you can't face it, we can never change anything until we do face it. Plus 135 is not bad at all. Like you said, all you…

Holy crap! Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Looking GREAT!

I am doing it. I do not understand what you are referring to with the calorie burn. Do you mean how much you burn doing it? I use a HRM. I have burned anywhere from 165-200. Usually I burn about 177 calories. I weight between 150-155. If you weigh more you will burn more. BUt if you skip a few jumping jacks or squats, etc,…

Happened to me too. And I was totally good with food that week and working my butt off with shred as well as other things like cycling, walking, and other dvd's. i gained 3 lbs and was so upset. but my jeans were too big on me. the next week i lost 5 or 6 lbs so it balanced out. i have no idea if this has to do with 30DS…

Both of you should eat how you want to and eave the other one alone. Easier said than done, I know first hand.

There are ten minute workouts out there. They count! If I walk for just 15 minutes and burn just a few calories I log it. It counts, it burns calories. Even 30DS is less than 30 minutes. That person can stick their opinion in a jelly donut.

I used to eat a whole box of girl scout cookies, a whole carton of Bern and Jerry's, a whole tube of pringles. I try not to even snack at night anymore. It always used to occur at night while I watched TV.

I notice my shorts seem to ride up when I try to run and it annoys me. That's my two cents lol.

WOW. you look amazing.

Thanks. What both of you said makes sense. I figured maybe I was doing something right without knowing it lol. And true I ate different every day and some days I was carrying my kids around a lot or I guess just with housework and taking the kids to the park I burned something. Still, I feel pretty lucky. I think things…

I had a horrible day today eating just abnut whatever I wanted. There is no way I can work it all off. However, if I can uster the energy I will try to do something anyway. It's a personal preference I think. Whatever makes us feel better as long as we get back on the wagon again ASAP.

This from http://www.calorie-blog.com/2011/05/how-many-calories-do-you-burn-doing.html "Some people have reported burning 300 calories an hour for some of the Insanity workouts while others have burned as much as 800 or more. The average amount of calories burned per workout over the course of the Total Insanity workout…

see this is an old post but wow! I am doing 30ds now and I cannot believe how much stomach is removed for you. It doesn't seem like it does all that much ab work! I hope and pray I get even half those results!!

A lot of my DVD's have you do it even without a rope. My heart rate gets up there in a hurry. It's tough tho if you have bad joints.

Nice work!!!

Huge difference! Great job.

My dad, both my parents really, had that kind of power over me for a long time. I am 36 and a parent now myself and what I started doing is I do not tell them much. If I am trying to write or get a job or lose weight, I usually keep it to myself so they do not discourage me. Also, as I ahve gotten older I no longer see…

Until just a few years ago my back was perfectly lean but I always had a problem with my stomach. I think some areas are harder on others depending on the person.

That's great!!

I tried it in the beginning. I think it is a viable thing. I do not think it is dangerous if only used 1-2 times per week. For me, I thought it would be great because I am an all or nothing person. I figured I'd eat like I always do every day and one or two days not eat at all and I'd create my deficit that way. I only did…

if there is not enough room for dinner you will probably not be that hungry anyway and you could always work it off if you go over. don't worry. just eat whe you are hungry, as long as it is healthy things.

How do you stay so low on sugar?? Even when I have what feel like perfect days- healthy all day long, I still go over on sugar either from a protein shake or mainly from fruit and cherry tomatos!

Isn't BMR what we need to maintain weight? How can we lose if we eat that?

I have never had a flat stomach even when I was super skinny and did crunches every day. I hear the stomach is the LAST thing you lose. Also, I hear we store stress in our tummies. I am sure the stress is my problem. Maybe yours as well? As far as weight gain, probably water or women's issues and it will come right back…

Great job. How long did it take? How did you do it?
