iPhone 4! :)

I had to take a 3 days break from Jillian due to family commitments over the weekend. Picked it up again yesterday with L2D5. OMG I was achy ... all my planks were done the same as Anita ... and one of my legs just did not want to let me jump high enough ... but I pushed through and did it and I am proud of myself!

I had 3 days break due to busy weekend, but I will be doing day 5 of lvl 2 today. I find lvl 2 very challenging but we all have to stick to it! It can only get better I guess. We can do it!

Big metal fan here as well ... Amon Amarth - my favourites Children of Bodom Sabaton DevilDriver Lamb of God Softer ones: Epica Eluveite Ensiferum And the list could go on ... I am always open to increasing my friends list especially with other metal fans - I was actually worried that we are going extinct, glad to see I…

Yes it is one of those apps that you have to cover the camera lens with your finger and supposedly it captures the blood pumped into your finger. There are other apps that do work better for the running I guess, but nothing for aerobics ... I know it's not ideal, I was just trying to see how accurate one of these apps…

I actually have to stop and catch my breath sometimes I agree about those plank position I can do some of the jumps but the second set I usually end up doing it modified. In a way I am "glad" to see I am not the only one feeling overwhelmed it just gives me strenght to move forward. Together we can make it! :)

I just did my first day of lvl 2 and I felt overwhelmed as well ... Can't do the pushups from plank position ... Can't do all sets of cardio (the ones from plank position) - I mean I can do them but only the beginner version. I noticed that I can survive better with the strenght circuits than the cardio and I have no…

I finished my Day 10 yesterday. I lost 2lbs but that was on Saturday (my weigh in day). I definatelly feel stronger now and I am looking forward to level 2 today. I am crap at measuring so will measure at the end.

It's my Day 10 today as well! Moving onto lvl2 tomorrow, can't wait! :)

I did not feel sore after my Day 3, however I still find some of the exercises challenging, like the first set of cardio, pushups and the last set of abs, therefore I did not more onto lvl 2 yet. Will move onto it on Monday. :)

I think measuring is better because sometimes you lose inches and build muscle. Anyway my day 10 is on Sunday and my weigh in day is tomorrow (Saturday), so I can still post my results. :) Good luck to you all!

Today was my day 8 and although I feel better overall with the whole lvl 1 workout, I must admit the first cardio almost killed me... however I can do the pushups (modified) almost without break. I am looking forward to lvl 2 although I am sure that even if it looks good it probably isn't at all easy. :)

My partner's computer desk and chair ... all good weapons yeah ...

Well done! I just did my day 6 as well this morning. I can finally do some pushups - ok i admit the modified version, however I could push on myself up about 5 times, which for me is a big achievement considering that I was unable to peel off the floor before ... Side lunges didn't kill me that much today and I did try to…

I use 2lbs weights ... they are enough to make me wanna die anyway ... You are not cheating ... just keep pushing through. Well done for Day 2!

Keep pushing through indeed ... I hate pushups, I can't do them in either state - advanced lvl or beginner ... If I do 2 proper ones, then I am lucky ... I think I am pushing my bum up rather than pushing from arms ... I also struggle with side lunges at the end where she says don't bend your knee over the toe ... but by…

Hello everyone! I joined this group because I started my 30DS on Friday just gone. So today I am about to attempt D5L1. Yesterday morning was the hardest for me so far, only because I decided to wake up 1 hr earlier before work and do my workout on an empty stomach ... For the first time since I started I had to have…

That indeed made me laugh. I have the same problem with that part at the end ... I also struggle with pushups ... I just did D3L1 and I still can't do more than 2 pushups properly ... but I will keep pushing myself. Anyone else having problems with breath coordination?

I just did D2L1 and I feel great! I don't sweat that much but I am all sticky though. Yesterday I was worried that I wasn't feeling any pain; I woke up however with pains in my upper part of the body and I was pleased, because I knew I worked well. Today I struggled at the end with the abs and the legs at 90 degrees, but…

Does your other half: Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Sometimes Cook for you? Yes Go food shopping? Yes - we go shopping together Give you massages when you ask? - Yes Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? - Yes Buy his/her own clothes?! - Sometimes Notice the dust? - Ern ... no, not at all. Take the…

I am curious of the result as well! Good luck! Hope it all works out for you! :flowerforyou:

Thank you for advice, I will generally log it then. My partner says that with their manu it looks that we will be eating the left overs from previous guests, so I shouldn't worry about my calories. :laugh: Thank you for your wishes.

I dislike going to the gym. I don't like the fact that I can't be myself - I am very self conscious and I know I can't afford to fail in front of other people. On the other hand I started the 30 DS today and I could make any noises I wanted cause I was alone in the house. :smile:

I am probably an exception. I don't like muscle at all ... I am quite into heavey metal / biker look ... long hair (it's very important) ... I don't mind skinny or a bit of beer belly ... Out of the pictures put in this thread I don't find any attractive ... but then that is just me ... *a weird one* :laugh:

I was with WW last year, but it was costing me nearly £20/mo, so I decided to ditch it and pay my gym membership instead. It did work for me, however MFP has, like others said, a fantastic community, much more supportive than WW one (speaking from my experience only). I like the iPhone app for MFP as well, which allows me…

I started my L1 today. Like others I struggled with my pushups (I have a feeling I did not do them properly at all) and the abs workout in circuit 2 and 3. I know she sais not to use the neck, which made me focus so much on my pushout, I got out of sync with her. I am way out of shape, jumping jacks and the skipping are…

I started it today as well. I am still trying to catch my breath, good workout though I loved it. Feel free to add me for motivation as well. I also took my measurements and pictures and I will keep track of my progress. I will also ask my partner to watch me tomorrow and tell me if I am doing some of the exercises right,…

Was just about to suggest Bravissimo. I never got on with La Senza either ... my bra size was always on sale in black/white/cream ... never the lively colours that other sizes get. :smile:

Oh wow, I didn't know about Hammerfest! And it's around my birthday as well! Both my partner and I wanted to see Amon Amarth again .... thank you for mentioning that. :)

After reading all the reviewes about this workout, I ordered it from Amazon - cheap as well in UK (£5). I am currently waiting to received it so if it's all good and the DvD arrives before Monday I will be able to join in. I am nervous as well for the pain but I really need to get my *kitten* kicked into shape. I will go…
