Well this sucks!!!
Yup, you can officially put me on the injured list. I tweaked my knees, especially the left one. It was the jumping jacks that did it I think. Kind of that sideways downward stress. I'm so bummed. I was doing so well :-( I'm not sure when I'll be able to start back up. I was going to do the treadmill tonight but figured I…

HRM vs the treadmill
Wore my polar FT7 on the treadmill for the first time today and was surprised by the results. I walked for 37 minutes around 3 mph at a slight incline. My HRM says I burned 284 calories and the treadmill said 188! The treadmill is comparable to what MFP says. I am obese though so wonder if the HRM might be more accurate. I…

Getting to know each other
OK, my name is Holly and I have been married to Adam for almost 12 years. I have always been heavy due to PCOS. When I hit puberty, I just started gaining weight. So, my husband has only know me heavy. In fact, I'm about a size and a half smaller now then when we met and got married. Due to my PCOS, we couldn't have…

What is the intention of 30 Day Shred?
I just kind of assumed that you were intended to do it every day for 30 days, 10 days at each level (unless you were more fit to start and could start at a higher level). But then I've seen a couple people online reference a podcast Jillian did saying she never intended it to be done every day. I would keep doing it every…

I rocked L1D8 tonight!
I did 15 push ups in the first set and 10 in the second. A new record. Plus I used my 4 lb weights for all the exercises for the first time. And the only modified exercise I'm still doing is girly push ups. I had my best calorie burn yet - 296 and that was without the warm up because I forget to start the HRM.

Explain 'fat burning' vs. 'fitness mode' to me? HRM...
I started wearing an HRM during my 30DS workout. The calorie burn is exactly what I was expecting and very close to what MFP says. So that's good! And, my fitness is increasing each day, and my calorie burn is decreasing - again, exactly what I'd expect so I think the HRM is working wonderfully (Polar FT7). I'd just like…

Day 5 complete!
Day 5 done and again, easier than yesterday. I even pushed myself harder this time too. I did 14 push ups in the first set and 11 in the second. I STILL didn't make it through that blasted first cardio set, but I did make it through the other two again. I did better on the first one, so I'm going to guess 2 or 3 more days…

Day 4...done!
I did day 4 tonight. It was a family affair. Me, hubby (he did half because he was putting the baby to bed during the first half) and my 7 and 8 year olds. Its still hard, but less hard. I did 13 push ups in the first set and 8 in the second set. I STILL cannot get through the first cardio without taking a break.…

What's your NSG (non scale goal)?
I have several scale goals (and size goals for that matter) but one of my NSGs is to be comfortable wearing a sleeveless dress. So many cute ones out there that I just refuse to wear right now. It would be awesome if I hit that goal by summer when we're getting family pictures done. But it may take me a LOT longer to get…

How many push ups in a set do you do?
The first set, I get 12 to 13 in. The second set, only 7 or 8. Just curious!

Day 3 complete!
I did day 1 on Monday. It went pretty well though I had to take breaks during the cardio. I was all over the strength and abs though :-) It was a great workout and very similar to a class i used to take (though that was only once or twice a week). Day 2 on Tuesday. I was sore. I couldn't imagine how I was going to do it…
