I love this post!! I'm so glad there are others who understand how crazy I feel sometimes running around like a lunatic! :smile: I am married, have 1daughter that 5 1/2 yrs old (always have to put that 1/2 in there). My husband works nights, 12 hour shifts. So when he gets home in the mornings, we literally kiss each other…

I agree with a lot of things on your lists. I also can't wait to wear boots that fit over my calves!!! Ugh!! My hubby bought a really cute pair of boots for Christmas, I can wear them, but they don't go all the way up my calves like they should :angry: 1. not shopping in plus size departments anymore (who designs most of…

That is so awesome!!! Keep it up!

Wow, you look GREAT!! You're such an inspiration!

You look great!! Awesome job!!

Search Youtube for Tiffany Rothe, she has tons of workouts on there. She has a schedule on her facebook page as well if you want to keep with a routine of her videos.

I totally understand! I will not workout while my husband sits on the couch and watches. On the days he is home from work, I'll go to the bedroom with my videos or make him do something else for 30 minutes to an hour. I don't mind my daughter being around, she's 5. Plus she cheers me on the whole time!

That is awesome!! When I was in my 20s, my favorite jeans to wear were American Eagle button fly jeans. I still have a pair of them, size 10 hanging in my closet (11 years and 100 lbs heavier). I can't wait until I can buy their jeans again.

OMG, I went for it and decided to do level 2 tonight. WOW, that was crazy!!! I am now convinced Jillian is going to kill me in the next 19 days. I was pouring sweat by the end, even more than when I started level 1. But, it still feels great when I finish.

Well, technically today is my day 8. I'm thinking about trying level 2 tomorrow just to see how I handle it. I feel the muscles hiding under all of the fat...I just need to get the fat to go away.

HMMMM....I wonder how many extra calories that would burn? LOL

Congratulations!! That's awesome. Can't wait for my day when I can post my own success of leaving the 200s. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the support and suggestions. I think I will try this weekend getting up before him and knocking it out to start my day...that sounds awesome to me!! I usually get up and head out to the grocery store first thing on Saturday morning, maybe if Jillian kicks my butt first, I won't be tempted to buy myself any…

I did day 5 on Friday. Didn't have time to check in here. The weekends are going to be a challenge for me.

OH NO!! Glad you're okay and at home. I don't think I would have had the strength to work out after that either. Hope are feeling ok.

Day 4 is complete! I was able to do way more push-ups today and only had to stop one time because I felt like my abs were literally on fire doing those bicycle crunches. Of course that's the part where I start yelling and cursing Jillian like she stole something from me...lol. It's definitely a love/hate relationship. I…

I don't have any plans to take a day off either. I am afraid if I do, I won't start back.

I finished Day 3 of Level 1 tonight. I was able to keep pace better today, but towards the end I wanted to quit so bad but I pushed myself to finish and I am sooo glad that I did. My legs are sore but it actually felt great to work them tonight. I was able to do more push-ups today too. I already feel better since starting…

I have seen a lot of people say they gained a few pounds in the beginning of 30DS but the end results were great. Don't let the scale discourage you...keep on shredding!!

I too am sooo grateful for this group and MFP. Day 3 was a tough one! I listened to my music and it helped to motivate me more and the time went by faster. Towards the end I just wanted to quit....but I kept pushing myself and finished. I've NEVER pushed myself like that! My arms were definitely feeling it more today, my…

I think I just might do this....while fully clothed of course ;)

I just had a good laugh picturing myself walking into Walmart and casually stripping down to my undies and weighing myself.

Day 2 is DONE....28 more to go!!! I was able to hang in there pretty well today. The only thing that almost killed me were push-ups, I felt like my arms were to snap off! Instead of using my little old soup cans for weights today, I used a couple of 1 liter water bottles and i could definitely tell a difference, the chest…

Way to go everyone! I'll do my Day 2 this evening after work. I'm sore today, but it feels good!

I am with you on the work out bra....I think that was one (or two) of my biggest challenges tonight!

WOW!!! I did D1L1 tonight and WHEW!!! My thighs and arms are killing me right now. I was so proud of myself when I made it to the end! Good luck everyone!!! See you all here tomorrow..as long as my legs don't collapse under me for Day 2..lol

I took some photos for my own comparison....maybe I'll post them AFTER the 30 days are over..lol

I used cans of corn too! LOL

I'm newly active on MFP and would love to join you all with 30DS. I completed Day 1 about 2 hours ago and OMG.....what a workout!!! I'm determined to push through this in 30 days....if my legs don't collapse under me first..lol.
