FORK DOWN by SUNDOWN ?

Good news :D I was in the bookstore yesterday and I stumbled across Jilian Michaels 30 day shred!! I've been looking for this foreverr. Used to watch it on youtube but they took it down. I'm gonna get it on monday :)
 
That's awesome that you found that book!!

You'll have to tell us how it is- and how it works!! :)

I just got mine out on the weekend too! I hope to complete Level 1 & Level 2 everyday this week!! Haven't tried Level 3 yet but soon! Good luck with it!!
 
Thanks everyone :)

I started it yesterday. Will do it daily for 30 days (the daily workout is only 20 minutes)

@Tik it's not a book it's a workout video (more info )
 
Are you just sticking to Level 1 or are you going to switch it up and do a different level each day? I've been doing Level 1 and Level 2 back to back and hope to work it up to complete all three levels in one workout in the next few weeks. Level 2 is already pretty tough so I'm a little nervous for Level 3 - let me know how it is if you've tried it!
 
Lisa I'm just doing the level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for the next 10 days and level 3 for the next 10 days. One workout per day...am I supposed to be doing more? (btw: level one is kicking my butt so I'm not moving on until I can do it without stopping)

I'm not really sure if there is a specific plan to follow or not ( I never browsed the DVD to find out) so I was just doing Level 1 until I felt strong enough to try Level 2 and now that I'm doing that I hope to work in Level 3 at some point. Even just doing 20 minutes of that a day is great though! She does kick your butt!
 
Weighed myself today: 153.2 :( Not sure where this gain came from. But still staying on track. Did the 30 day shred tonight...Level 1 + part of 8 min buns

Kevin got me hooked on salads again. They're really not that bad. And after eating one I feel surprisingly full and good.
 
Hey! sorry to hear about the gain- but I wouldn't worry! You seem to be on a great path- if you keep up the with the healthy eating and the exercising, you really will see a loss in no time!!

Keep it up hot stuff!!! :)
 
Thanks Tik!!

OMG lucy *hugs* how have you been? How much do you weigh now?? do you have a journal? lol

-----

I figured out why I gained. I started TOM! lol. So that explains it. I ALWAYS gain right before. Whew!
 
I haven't been here in a while :) everything is going well. Tomorrow is weigh in day.

I fell off the 30 day shred halfway through. mainly because of school. I feel like once i workout, I've accomplished enough for the day and I'm too tired to do anything else. with 6 courses and everything else going on -- NOT GOOD.

I'm running for a student body position in 3 hours. My speech sounds good but I'm SO nervous! which is odd because I've literally performed in front of hundreds of people back in high school. and in general I'm just really loud/goofy/dont-care-what-others-think. I really hope I get the position. If not, meh, more time for schoolwork!

It's amazing what a difference on day can make. If my eating goes to plan i feel so much lighter/better the next day. When i overeat I feel sluggish and bloated the next day. If only i could stick to the plan more often.

One thing I have been sticking to is growing my hair out. I love long hair but my hair hasn't been past shoulder length until now. It's down to my brastrap in the back. I'm excited :) I want to grow it even longer so what I do is take cre of it. I rarely use my flat iron anymore. and i moisturize and deep condition which I like to do, it's relaxing. Why can't weight loss be this easy LOL

My best friends are both slim. Not sickly skinny. but hot skinny. and I tell them all the time how cute their bods are! but they all want to gain weight! WTF? lol goes to show different strokes for different folks. I think that's how that saying goes. anyway I feel good because i was ms. productive today :) being productive distracts me from boredom eating. so win-win.

kevin said something that struck a chord with me. "All you girls do is want results with no effort". As male-chauvinist-pig that was, it's true. For me anyway. I tend to think about wanting something SO much that I never get around to actually doing it. I can spend a hour planning my day, or thinking about doing something but never acutally get it done. I think it's procrastination. whatever it is, it needs to stop. I need to get stuff done already! including lose this weight!
 
Good luck on the hair growing! I am trying to do the same lol I really want it to the middle of my back but its slow going. I had a girl at work who was so envious of my curves because she was soo tiny and I wanted her body because it had barely any curves! I just love the skinny girl look.

I have had to take deep breaths these last couple of months because I wanted the results NOW but obviously it takes time too besides effort lol It's hard not to want to see something the day after you put effort into something but weight loss just doesn't give you good results like that lol I wish it did!

I wish you luck though both on the weight loss and the speech :)

Thanks tally!!! good to know we have a couple things in common :)

GOOD NEWS! I got the executive position! I'm happy :hurray:
 
Thanks Lucy <3

I weighed in at 155 yesterday. not impressed with the amount of salads, fruits and veggies I've been eating. and water/tea I've been drinking...
 
Congratulations!

Do you keep a food diary? That might be helpful and put every half a bite into it. Also salads can be pretty bad depending on if you add a lot of dressing, cheese, meat, etc. Also you may want to put your food into a calorie counter. I wish you luck though.
