I am sucking it up and doing the kickstart diet even though I don't like to eat/prepare a lot of the food. Sometime I substiute for similar nutritional/calorie value (like vanilla greek yogurt instead of plain). The big thing with the kickstart is high protein, low carb and no extra sugar or grains. I cheat with the…

I am sore, but not in the" I want to die" way I was when I did the 30 day shred day shred in March. I can walk up and down stairs and can sit without groaning, but I did need a hot bath last night for the aches. Funny how now I look forward to the good pain now!

I was burning over 250 on my 30dshred. A heart rate monitor is your best bet.

In the total body cardio, my kids favourite part is when Jillian uses Natalie to keep her balance, Natalie goes "ha I didn't fall", so Jillian pushes her. I also loved watching for the "mistakes," they make everyone more human and gives me hope that I am not failing when I have to cheat for two beats.

I would love to get your formula. I was going to do a search for something like that to cross check my number. My heart rate ranged from 145 up to 174, so I was moving hard.

On my heart rate monitor it told me I did 400 for each half hour. I am scared my HRM is too generous.

I started on the 21st because I need Friday to be my rest day, but I would love some buddies to hang out with as I go through level one.

You can't make foot prints in the sands of time by sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave butt prints in the sands of time?

I remind myself that there is no way I actually gained four pounds of fat in a day and keep soldiering on until it is over and I drop five pounds over night.

Good for you, it usually doesn't work that way. That is why my ultimate reward after weight loss is the boob job: I won't be leaving the girls to chance.

I have just finished my 30 days and am waiting for my 90 day total body with JIllian to arrive. The first day I couldn't move after the workout, I had to lie on the couch all afternoon. The second day was better, day six was no burn and day eight I felt like it was too easy. The key is to keep going, the burn is good. It…

I just finished all 30 days and loved it. I lost 12 pounds and everything is a lot more toned. Level one is not representative of the entire program, it gets way harder. The idea behind it is to work out smarter and force your body to change quickly. I do think it is better for beginners than people who already active and…

I log it under cardio->circuit

Yay for you. I just got into my prepregnancy jeans today, so I know the feelings. Good job.
