You can do it Kelly!

LOL, no it's 2 minutes of cardio with burpees and then scissor kicks. I can't do scissor kicks either, I just tap my heels. It's not until week 3 or 4. I have to say though, the day I finally did not cry when doing it I was pretty proud of myself. Then I said to her, "No you b****, I'm not crying!" BTW, Jillian is a lot…

Oh and you are right. I'm sure Jillian would like it. That's her goal I think. That's why her workouts get results.

LMAO, yes I scream f#%k a lot when I do her workouts. In fact, I've tried other workouts and I've realized that if I'm not screaming f%$k, then I'm just wasting my time. I'll stick with screaming at Jillian. I also cry when she does the burpees/scissor kicks in Ripped in 30. It's right at the point where Jillian says,…

Whoah! That is impressive! Congrats to both you and your wife. Awesome job!

Skinnytaste is amazing! I've been making one of her recipes almost every night. I just made this to satisfy my sweet tooth and it is so good! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/07/low-fat-chocolate-chip-zucchini-bread.html

I've realized that one of the reasons I don't log much here (especially my dinner) is because I don't eat any canned, boxed or packaged foods. Everything I make is home cooked and it's a huge pain to enter it all in. I do know roughly what my calories are though. You should try www.skinnytaste.com She has great healthy…

Love this post! Good for you! Everyone has bad days. You have to keep fighting. You deserve it and you can do it!

Look at you shrinking! Awesome job! You look great! You must feel great too. :)

Amazing! I love your post. I teared up a little. You look like a new person.

I read some of it and bookmarked it to finish later. Great advice! Thanks for sharing!

Me too! I've done 30DS, Ripped in 30 and 6 week 6 pack so I feel like I'm in good shape. I just started adding some of the 10 minute extreme slimdown workouts to my routine and I'm in pain! That is a good thing! LOL. I'm going to stick with them for a while. I still love Jillian though. :) Ripped in 30 is a good follow up…

Awesome! It gets easier every time. When you complete the 30 days, go back and do level 1 again and you will be amazed that you ever had a problem with it. Really, you will get there!

You look so pretty and so much younger! Nice job!

Yeah, fit it into your calories. Life is too short to give up chocolate. I do wish I had the will power to eat 1 piece of a candy bar though. If I know it is still there, especially opened, I'll finish it off. I do treat myself to a bowl of chocolate ice cream several times a week. The Breyers smooth and dreamy 1/2 fat…

Oh and the determination on your face at the finish line makes me want to run a road race right now! Such fun. Congrats!

Awesome job! You look great and that is a fabulous time too!

Yeah, nothing "fishy" about it. LOL. I lost inches and actually gained 2 lbs doing the shred. You absolutely can tell you gained muscle! Nice job!! :)

You should try to take one day off a week anyway. I wouldn't beat myself up over 2 either. ;) Usually for me though, exercise makes me feel better unless I have a fever or something. The other day I didn't feel like doing anything so I told myself to just do level 1 of the 30DS which is pretty easy for me. As I got going…

Look at you! 6 months? That is awesome. Congrats!

Yes, level 2 is painful! Especially those v fly squats. I scream during those. ;) The planks will make you stronger. You won't even remember having a problem with them eventually if you stick with it. I would log it as circuit training general but I always take at least 5 minutes off the time so I don't over estimate the…

Wow, you look like a completely different person! You are stunningly beautiful!

Circuit training general is what most people use. Good luck!

Anyone still doing this? I'm up to 28 push ups (broken into sets but that is still awesome for me). My wrists and shoulders are so sore but I'm not quitting!

Nice finish! You look so cute too. 5Ks are so much fun!

Look at you shrinking! Great job! I know people always say this but you really do look so much younger now.

Very cool! I will definitely be giving it a try. I wish it were another 20 minute one though. 45 minute workouts are too easy to talk myself out of in the morning. ;)

I've been doing a 10 minute pilates ab workout (from exercise tv) every day. Honestly, I've never been able to feel a burn like that with other ab workouts so I'm going to stick with it.

I've done both. 30 DS is much better to start with if you are not already in good shape. Level 1 of Ripped was a little easy for me since I did it immediately after the shred. However, levels 3 and 4 of Ripped are really hard! Much harder than anything in the shred. I couldn't imagine trying to do those workouts without…

I did day 2 today. 20 push ups broken into 4 sets 5,4,6,5 with 75 second breaks. I didn't need the whole break time but the pushups were hard!
