Just completed Week 4
Just done W4D3 went really well thank goodness! The first two were REALLY tough! From when I was doing C25k last time (completed Week 6 then stopped for whatever reason I can't remember) I can remember Weeks 5 and 6 being very tough! But, it's just 6 days I've gotta get through right? And at the end I'll be fitter and…

Just done W4D1... woah!
Today's run was tough. Not sure if it was because the running time has increased or because I did it in an evening and I usually run in the morning. To keep myself motivated I've booked myself into a 5k race in a couple of months time, eep!!! Where is everyone else at on the programme? TCG

Looking for a little advice re bloating...
Hi folks, I hope you don't mind me posting here but I'm looking for any advice on dealing with bloating. A bit of background info... I've only been on the Paleo lifestyle for one week. I'm eating clean and exercise-wise I'm doing Jillian Michaels' 6 Week 6 Pack (not because I want a six pack, but because I figured it will…
-
Has anyone done (or doing) 6 Week 6 Pack?
I must confess to begin with, I'm not doing it for a six pack! I'm doing it because my post-pregnancy belly is the most loathed part of my body and I need all the help I can get here! Not that I begrudge sacrificing my vanity to give my son life, but all other areas have gone back to normal years later, yet I have a…
-
Why am I so bloated?!
Okay, here's the deal. I've been eating really clean for a week now. I guess if you want to compare what I eat to anything, then it'd be Paleo. And I know that with bloat you should drink plenty of water, so I'm drinking like a fish. I don't really understand why I'm so bloated, is it possible that it's because my body…

Can anyone recommend me some reliable scales please?
I've had my bathroom scales for a couple of years now and they really need replacing as the numbers they give me are all over the place. To prove a point to my husband I told him to jump on, weigh himself, jump off and jump back on and weigh himself again. The second time around the numbers given were 6lb different to the…

How many times did you quit 30DS before you completed it?
Just curious, I see a lot of "attempted to do it X-amount of times and now I'm determined to do it". I quit once. I got to Day 16 and bailed. I then completed it a few months ago :) I'm now doing it again doing the advanced moves and heavier weights and am on L1D9, but am getting nervous about coming up to the dreaded…

Anyone use LA Muscle products???
I received a voucher from my hubby (that's his way of supporting me..!) but wondered if anyone would actually recommend? I read the reviews on a couple of products and noticed that some reviews were identical from one product to another which made me a little suspicious (I can't help it!) Has anyone here used any of their…

RushFit or P90X??
Hi there, I'm a fan of DVD workouts and wondered if anyone had tried both of these DVD sets at all please? I'm not entirely sure which to get. I'm a 5'8" girl weighing in at 177lb so I'm overweight but not obese. My stamina is fair, I made it through 30DS and looking for my next challenge. I do also have moderate asthma.…

A question for those who have done No More Trouble Zones...
When you first started doing No More Trouble Zones, how many circuits could you complete before you felt to tired and sore to carry on? I got did 3 circuits and got halfway through circuit 4 (did the first rep, but couldn't finish the second - probably thanks to the Surrender!) plus I am INCREDIBLY puny!!!!! The main…

Free week's worth of healthy chocolate! :)
Just wanted to let you guys know about a company called OhSo. They operate in a very similar way to how Graze do. Each week they send you 7 chocolate bars (though I'm not yet sure that I'll want it weekly, but they do have a monthly option!) The chocolate bars are 72cals with Pro-biotics with no added dairy, wheat, gluten…

30DS COMPLETE!!!
So, so elated!! I am so pleased that I have FINALLY finished what I started and failed to do months ago. That doesn't matter any more. Because today I did it :happy: I am having a well deserved couple of days rest before I start C25k, depending on whether the snow has gone. Weigh in is on Saturday, so that will be…
-
Okay! Who's still with us?
So we have 146 people in this group and I was just wondering who's still "hanging in there"? (Ms. Michaels' words!) How many days has everyone got before we can celebrate? I have 4 days to go, hurrah!

Ladies, lets talk lips...
I don't wear too much make-up (concealer, lash extensions and vaseline mixed with a little colour lipgloss does the trick for me) but I HAD to try these epic summer lips! Too good to keep to myself so I'm sharing the tutorial with you all. If you have Chrome it should automatically ask you if you wish to translate into…

A question for all those of you who have done P90X
Hey folks, I have a question (or two!) about P90X and I was just wondering if anyone here could be able to help me. Firstly, my strength is pretty *kitten*... I've almost finished 30DS and I'm using 2.2lb dumb bells and that's been tough... but I REALLY want to work on getting me some better strength and muscle definition.…

Has anyone done Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown DVD??
I've bought this recently to do on my "rest days" from C25k, but I was just curious to find out how long it took most people to advanced from Stage 1 to Stage 2? I am a complete yoga novice and I have terrible balance, so if it'll be fun to attempt! Haha!!

What time of the day do you shred?
I usually shred in the afternoon after lunch. The last couple of days I have had to shred in the evening and I hate it as I am so tired from my day. When do you guys shred?

UK ONLY: Free week's worth of healthy chocolate! :)
Just wanted to let you guys know about a company called OhSo. They operate in a very similar way to how Graze do. Each week they send you 7 chocolate bars (though I have mine set up to arrive through my letterbox monthly instead). The chocolate bars are 72cals with Pro-biotics with no added dairy, wheat, gluten and nut…

Dear Jillian....
Feel free to post all the stuff you wish you could tell Jillian... Dear Jillian, I hate lunges... not as much as sumo pops though... My strength is significantly improved, so thank you... DO NOT say "a couple more" - a couple means two, not twelve... When I do punches I'm punching you in the face lady... (PS: still love…

Need some motivation girlies!!
I had a COMPLETE blow out day yesterday... urgh.... partly I think due to my crabby hormones just not caring AT ALL... partly because I reckon because I exercised so much the previous day and didn't really eat a whole lot coz I wasn't very hungry and could it have caught up on me yesterday? I don't know, but yesterday I…
-
L3D2
Today felt more tough than yesterday. Perhaps because I had finished an 8 mile walk about an hour and a half before I started my shred, but I've always found the following 2-3 days after the start of a level to be tough. Maybe because my muscles are so confused - not that that's a bad thing! The end is in sight! Though my…

need some advice re. weights for runners
I'm no runner, I'm doing C25k, so I can't classify myself as a runner... yet! :wink: I am aware though that with cardio I need to be doing strength training to retain muscle mass. I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on any weight training to do alongside my C25k please? I'm going to hazard a guess that squats…

Finished Level 2! Hip hip hooray!!!
I am so pleased!!! I was dreading it so much and actually after Day 4 got into it! I just watched Level 3 to make sure I know what I'm doing when I start it tomorrow and don't waste time in trying to figure out moves meaning I can't get on with my workout and getting the most for my time. It looks like there's a lot more…
-
Level 3!!!
So today I did L3D1, and it's official... it is most definitely easier than Level 2! I can see just how much my strength has improved since Level 1. I did it using the modified versions as it's the first day and didn't want to screw myself over for the next few days by injuring myself. I do freaking hate Sumo Pops though!…
-
How's everybody doing?
I have no clue what days everyone is on, are most people on Level 2 now? How are you finding it? What move do you dislike the most? Which move can you do effectively now that you couldn't do previously? I nearly didn't do today, been in a weird hormonal mood all day... just couldn't be ar$ed to do anything... but I dropped…
-
L2D5...
I am officially 50% down, 50% to go! lol!!! Today really didn't seem so tough and I wasn't as sweaty as I have been. Kinda disappointed coz I feel mega badass when I sweat, haha!!! Level 2 is going by much quicker than I realised! How is everyone else getting on with their shred?
-
Post your Fitspiration here!
If I can figure out how to post pics... I'm hoping this works!!!
-
A turning point...
So Level 2 hasn't been much fun. Okay, granted I'm not pacing in anticipation until the next time I can workout to it, but today, Day 4 (or 14 whichever way you want to look at it! LOL!) I felt was a turning point. Today I battled through everything well enough. There was no point today where I was thinking "Jillian, I…
-
L2D3
URGH!!!!!!!!! lol!! I'm kinda having a rest day but not... On a Saturday I do my workout at 8am and don't work out the following day until 8pm so I get a 36hr break. Today sucked. I sweated like a pig and I had to modify the plank twists at the end... But the way I figure it, even Jillian is on her knees gasping and…
