if you think it has to do with your breathing try slowing down or stopping and putting your arms over your head to strech it out while you slow your breathing....usually works for me

I use Jillian Micheals Protein powder to do shakes after my workout. It hasn't given me any issues with loosing weight, but I would say it has helped with my mucles as far as soreness and repair. I would give it a shot.

I know I'm a chick, but just wanted to say, my husband has seen my sucess with 30DS and is really thinking about trying it, hes just trying to figure out when during the day he can do it :)

try icing them before you run and after, take ibuprofen, and then wrap your leg from ankle to knee. The pressure on it helps with the pain. I use to get them all the time playing tennis and that is what the trainer at school had me do. Looked silly with my skirt...lol...but it helped...a lot

I don't deny, I plan it into my day cause trying to ignore cravings, espically when you are first trying to change eating habits is hard. So I figure it in and leave a little playing room cause I don't want the craving to overwhelm me and then I end up eating waaaaay to much of it and feeling awful about it.

you need to be doing cardio and strength training. I just finished my 30 day shred and my belly has undergone a HUGE transformation. Firming the muscles while burning away the fat will change they appearance of all your body, but for me, the biggest change was my stomach :)

I do dvd's and Running/walking outside. No need to spend the extra money imo. 10$ for 30 days shred and 3.5 miles a day....works for me

stop focusing on the weight and try measuring...you may be loosing inches or your body may be changing shapes. I just finished the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels and I only lost 10lbs, but from my pics on my profile, it looks like more. I still have a long way to go, but my shape is changing and so when I don't see the…

bump....bring up my posts...it's a fast and easy way to go back to a topic that has caught your intrest.

I think it has the possibility to work, but you have to have a strong core or you could end up hurting yourself. If your back and abs aren't strong you could hurt them doing the exercises. My suggestion would be to get something like the 30 day shred that does circut training....it sculpts you down all over...arms is just…

okay, for all those wondering. I did the shred everyday that was possible. I did miss several days due to muscle recovery and/or life intruding. I also run/walk 3.5 miles 5 days a week.

I won't lie, since I'm still a ways away from my goal, I'm doing the goodwill thing mostly. You can find some nice stuff there and it's not too expensive since hopefully I won't be in these sizes long. :)

I agree about the scales not mattering as much. Being strong and healthy is more important. You can see from my profile pic that I have changed the shape of my body quite a bit, but there is only a 10lb loss. You can be the same size as another girl and yet weigh more just becuase you have more mucles mass. Don't sweat the…

This right here.....you have to know you can do it.

sure is and while I only lost 10 of my 25lbs during that time period....I saw some great changes in my body :)

I have to say I like this ^^^ and blanket statements are rarely true. I may not drive a stick well, but I can be ready in about 20 mins, and I am def a pro a multi-tasking.

I just finished it.....took me almost 60 days, but I did, I posted the pics on my page of before and after. It is so worth doing that I think I'm going to start it again doing the harder versions of all the exercises :) you can do it :)

I know for 30 day shred I use circut training, but don't know about the ripped in 30, sorry

PNW and southern, sexy :) Washington state raised, but been in TN for 11 years now...lol

regardless of my size I stick to the basics that never go out of style, jeans and t-shirts, polo shirts and button downs. But then I've never been one to care about what is in fashion, I stick to what is comfortable on me.

world of warcraft, but that's about it and not so much anymore :)

I do mine in the morning before mine are up

trucks, they can go places that sports cars could only dream of going :) Plus a nice big truck is sexy :)

the body needs fuel to run just like a car. If you dont' eat enough on a regular basis it will start to hold onto the fat stores thinking it might need them for survival. There are tons of threads about it, but basically, the body runs more efficently when it has the proper fuel in it. I have a hard time eating in the…

I am 60 lbs away from my goal. I am now on Level 3 of the 30day shred. It is hard and I usually am cussing her the whole time. But I started seeing changes in my body in the first week. I have't lost much in the weight area, but I am seeing changes in my body for the good. Things are firming up and getting smaller. I think…

at the beginning and end of the photobucket line

nope, won't hurt you. Protein acutally is really great for muscles. It helps to repair and build them up. From all I've read and heard, the protein levels here on MFP are low. I am always shooting to be over in my protein.

I'm doing 30 day shred from Jillian Michaels. I saw results by the time I was 10 days in. It's only 20 mins, but it really works. I have a love/hate relationshipe with Jillian. I love the results she's getting me, but I hate her when I'm doing it :)
