Kill ALL The Things (Whole 30)
I am doing the Whole 30 with a friend of mine that has an auto immune disease. We are on day 10, which days 10 & 11 are when you are most likely to quit, and we are both wanting to end it. For no real reason. Neither of us have cravings. It hasn't been hard. We feel pretty good. She feels better than I but she also feels…

Turbo Fire/Injuries?
First of all - LOVE Turbo Jam and thought I'd LOVE Turbo Fire - which, I do, but it doesn't love me back. I've tried, and tried, and tried again to get through the program, as it's set up. I get to week two, every time, and get a new injury it seems. I am about 98% sure I use good form. I modify it when necessary, and keep…

30 Days of Les Mills Combat
I'm 30 days into Les Mills and definitely seeing the results so just wanted to share if anyone is curious about the program. I've lost 8 lbs, 5", and have gained strength and endurance & have toned up for sure. I LOVE it and can't wait for the next 30 days (I'm on day 34 as of today). The longest I've ever stuck with a…

How Do You Stay Motivated?
I have been overweight all of my life, losing here and there only to gain it back. I finally lost about 40 lbs several years ago but got side tracked by nursing school. I managed to keep that weight off, but didn't lose anymore. Got back at it last year and got down to my lowest weight, despite being on depo @ that point…

Hello Again
Hi all! I've been a member here for some time and did really well at first. I got down to my lowest weight but had a rebound gain due to many factors. I didn't give up (tho I wanted to) and, since June, have lost 20 lbs of the 30 I gained. I'm re-commiting myself RIGHT now and looking for accountability partners/friends.…

When you're going in reverse...
In short, I lost about 35 lbs 4-5 years ago, went to nursing school & maintained my loss but couldn't lose any more. Last year, a year after graduating, job hunting, working 3 jobs, and finally finding one full time job, I started at it again. I was on depo so I had researched and knew it would be difficult on that and…

Every time I reach a new set of #'s, I gain...
I just complained about this on my wall and someone said she has the same problem, so, wondering if others do also. It seems EVERY time I finally drop into a new set of numbers ( a new decade, if you will - 200's to 190's, 190's to 180's) it's short lived and then I slam right back up and maintain for 2 - 3 weeks before…

How do you fit in Yoga?
I ALWAYS say I need to do yoga, I start, it lasts about 2 days, and I fizzle out. For those of you that do it consistently, how do you fit it into your workouts? How many days a week do you do it? Do you do it in place of cardio or strength one day or in conjunction with or... Insight, please! :)

Week2
Ready or not... NOT! :) I'm super incredibly sore from Amy Dixon's "Breathless Body" so am taking today as an "easy" day (walk on treadmill w/ an incline, I think) but will get S&S in tomorrow, thurs, and saturday this week. At least that's the plan!

Progress
This will be for adding our measurements, progress updates, and, *gulp*, pictures (if you so desire) once we get started! :bigsmile:

How Many Days/Week?
What is everyone's suggestion on how many days/week to do this? I don't want anyone to get burned out so I was thinking 3-4 days/week for maybe 6 weeks? I think it's another "30 day" sorta thing. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Fun? Jillian?
Reviews I'm reading on amazon say this workout is actually...gasp...fun? WTF? Jillian and fun are not two words I'd ever use together in a sentence. Who has tried it? Set us straight?!?!!? I'm intrigued to give it a go now!

Our Next Challenge?
Jillian Michaels Kick Box video out on March 6 - called Jillian Michaels' Kickbox FastFix - "Three 20 minute workouts. Three levels zero in on toning the upper body, lower body and abs while burning fat. Includes a kickbox tutorial to help you learn the moves" - I'm all over that! :)

Introductions
I think most of us know each other, but, shall we introduce ourselves anyway? I'm Savannah, 28, from WI. I workout 5-6 days a week (most of the time). I have been struggling a lot these last few months with my weight for some unknown reason. I need something new to motivate me and, most likely, kick my *kitten* after the…

Mine is SENT
Just got amazon confirmation that my copy has been sent and is sched to be here Tuesday - not sure if I should be excited or petrified - I'm a little of both!
-
OUCH!
So, I completed level 1 lastnight, and half of level 2 (I was overly exhausted so I caved and gave up). I didn't realize I was working the lower body quite so much but my legs are screaming at me this morning. I think I actually really like this workout - as much as it pains me to say I enjoy anything Jillian Michaels…

Initial Test Results
What were your results and which column will you be following? (I'll do mine tonight when I get home and report back then)

Here are the rules
Ok, so, it seems the vote is split, but, considering the original inspiration (AKA @ Ecmcnamee) is intrigued by hundred pushups dot com, as am I, and I THINK this is perfect for almost all of us (based on what people have mentioned), I think that's the best route to go. Visits: http://hundredpushups.com/ This explains the…

Progress
Here we share our fit test results from http://hundredpushups.com/week1.html, which level we are doing, and how we are doing. Track your progress, basically! I, personally, will hit it tomorrow!

I only wish...
I could add music to the group because seriously Salt N Peppa is cranking in my head right now... "ooooh baby baby ba baby baby...this dance ain't for everybody...only the sexy people..."

Start Date
Do we want to officially kick off our challenge AFTER the holidays, or??? I believe the DVD is released December 6. I have it preordered so should get it that day in the mail. I think I want to try it out a few times first, to get the hang of it and get the most of it - We could start Sunday, Jan 1 or Monday, Jan 2?…

What's The Plan
Who votes for what? I vote 30/30/30 3x/week - seems doable for everyone. Give a suggestion and/or vote...NOW! :) Then we can get this ***** rollin!

A very friendly group of us are going to take on Jillian's new video, Extreme Shed & Shred, after the holidays (Release date: December 6 - NEXT WEEK).
