I think it depends on how much you go over. If it's 500 then you miss out on having the deficit MFP suggests. Also I've realised that the whole weight loss is very slow. I only weigh once a week, and I do lose around a pound a week, which is good progress. Maybe take pictures to see if you've toned up already. I am doing…

Oh no, fingers crossed it's not the tendon. I split mine a year ago and had the operation this March (yay for the UK health system and their waiting times), I was in a cast, no weight bearing for 4.5 weeks, That year of not being able to exercise got me into the mess of needing to lose weight. I know it sucks, but I…

if you need a virtual exercise buddy, let me know. maybe I can help you get motivated by being a little competitive about having done exercise (not the amount or speed or anything like that). I do 30 DS (on week 3 now) and C25K on week 1. add me if you wnat, Jo

a pound a week is good pace. and definitely eat your exercise calories back. there is a thread on here on exercise calories and explanations on why you should eat them and your net should not be below 1200. search for it, as I don't have the link at the moment. It might be in the permanent topics. What exercises are you…

I started on Level 3 today. Did L2D9 yesterday, but i needed something new even though I am not mastering everything in Level 2 and have to do some of the low impact moves. Level 3 is hard but the jump is not as big as the one between 1 and 2 I have to say. What is everyone planning on doing after the 30 days? I am doing…

I know what I have to do to lose weight and I am working on exactly the getting back into exercise and eating less. However, my original question was if it is ok to "save up2 calories for the weekend or say, a work lunch or something. So for example, I know that this week Sat, I'll meet friends for drinks and take away, if…

But as I said, I do eat healthily and I just want to lose the weight I gained during a time where I wasn't able to exercise. Before, I maintained my weight for a good four years, doing lots of exercise and eating well. Yes, I love my chocolate, but if I cycle to 20k a day, that is not a problem. I just want to get back to…

I did L2D8 today as well! Gosh, I hate Jillian first thing in the mornig, but then, after my shower and breakfast I love knowing that I can have a nice dinner later :tongue:

that would be great, or at least a weekly one. I do that on excel myself now to keep track and to plan as well. Even if it doesn't really work the way that you can "save" calories, i think it still makes sense to save a few over the week if you know you're having a heavy weekend or day with no exercise and meal out.

maybe try 30DS

go travelling and do something for yourself. Don't worry about not seeing your friends for a few months, the good ones will still be there in a few years time. And don't rush to make a decision on what to sudy or where to live. Thinks will change. try a few things, do internships, summer jobs and stuff.

I'm still here. And to the TOM issue, all I can say: thank the scientists for the mini pill, no TOM ever :) My weight loss is not that great though. I am finally just about under 64kg which is good, but i haven't lost any inches at all. But I'm on the 30DS so hoping for a sudden shrink when that is done...

hey people, are you still on it? I had a couple of days break Mon and Tue this week, but did L2D3 and D4 yesterday and today. I've also ordered some other Jillian DVDs to use as a supplement. are you all doing other things on top of 30DS?

can I bump my own article? Oops, just done it

Thank you :happy:

Thanks :)

well done madbabysmama! I did L2D3 this morning. I had 2 days of rest and bad eating as I was unwell. But this morning I was fighting with myself... get up and do the workout or sleep for another half hour. I won and got up and I'm glad I did. I love the feeling when you overcome your own demons. I only use 3lbs weights,…

Thanks Rosie, will do! What do you use as a guide if not an app? I think I could start on Thu, it's only 3-4 times a week, right?

I want to start C25K too. Does anyone know if there is a good android app for it? I'm struck down by either hayfever or a cold (should be able to tell by tomorrow morning), so i might have to wait until mid week to start, but count me in!

I've actually moved to level 2 yesterday, did L2D2 today. I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to try it for the first time on a monday before work... It is hard but good! Do you all use HRMs? did you buy them or apps on mobiles?

3 or 5 depend on how you count... 2 chinese signs on my shoulders, shakespeare quote on my lower back and a swallow on each leg, above my ankle on the back of my leg. I'd like another one, but I think I'll wait til I have kids and get their hand prints or dates of birth or so. I really like the idea with the foot prints on…

be good or enjoy lunch? I already had a nice lunch and dinner yesterday, stayed almost within allowance though. But today I really don't want my boring ryvita, philadelphia, cucumber stuff :( What do you guys do when you want to eat something different to what you should?

Day 7 done, which means "only" 23 to go! I'm gonna start with Level 2 tomorrow, was going to wait til Sun of Mon, but I think it's time to up my game.

ooops, having a rest day today... wine as a meal replacement is not the best idea - silly me. I had saved up my calories for the eve to have a burger and couple of glasses of wine. the pub's kitchen was closed, so i had a bit more wine - not a wise idea, on such little food all day. Back to being good tomorrow, day 8! Oh…

I hate push ups too, today was day 6 and the worst so far. I really want to take a rest day tomorrow, but i know I shouldn't. When are you all planning to go to level 2? do you know they have walk out push ups... scaaary!

Well done ydeemar on doing the exercises. RosieGB33nz, I'm in on the C25K next week too (I hope to get an iphone over the weekend). Today was my worst morning for 30DS so far. I just didn't want to get up and I wanted to switch Jillian off. But i got through it, even though it wasnt as good as the last couple of days. I…

Did day 6 level 1 this morning. I cursed it while doing it, but feel so much better for it now. Tomorrow is measuer day! anyone else measuring yet? Do you guys do rest days? or plan to, for example between L1 and L2?

I'm in too. I'm doing 30 day shred too, it's great. The arms are the killer for me. Did day 5 this morning. I was worried about fitting it in too, but decided just to get up 30minutes earlier and then you feel great for the day and already know you can eat that little bit more during the day. I also cycle around 25-25mins…

How do you guys manage to be so low on your calories? I've read this quite a lot. My allowance is 1200 and i usually eat around 1500, which is ok when i include my exercise calories, which i read on here is what should be done. I can't exercise that much yet, as I'm recovering from an injury, so i usually only burn around…

I did day 2 this morning and it feels like my arms want to fall off... my legs are killing me too! But yay, I love it!
