Hey Jumelle how are you liking the TF? I just got it and will start after I finish the 30 day shred. I can't find much info about it on this site or google. Have you noticed a difference using it? Do you enjoy it? I see that you are following the plan pretty closely with one day off. Is it hard at first? Is it still hard? Is it helping you with stamina or flexibility? Any tips?

I love it. The music is fun and it doesn't get boring. I've done Insanity, P90X, Jillian and I got bored relatively quickly. Just be sure to take some time to watch the workouts before you jump right in. My stamina and flexibility are much better. As of last week, I've only lost about five pounds, but I'll be weighing again on Friday. I can say that even if I only lose about 20 pounds, it was well worth the purchase.

How are your knees? Some of the workouts are killer on the joints. But, there's a low impact version of the workout done by one of the girls, so that's easy to follow.

Jumelle- Well, I am definitely going to try out TF. And the stamina and flexibility is great! Even, though weight kind of matters I'm more worried about inches, and I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised since we are ALL sticking to this challenge! lol

My knees are okay. I do most of the jumping jacks but very lightly and the jump rope I either bend my knees or bounce on my feet lol. The thing with jumping for me, is not only is it still a bit hard but I just feel all my flab bounce. And when I jump out and hit the ground my goodness it feels like so much weight! lol Like, I just want to fall to the ground and end it. So I try to go easy with the jumping lol!

And I only do part of the push ups, I have a cyst in my wrist and push ups are really bothersome to it. But, I'm sticking to it as closely as I can! It does get very boring, but I just tell myself it's worth it, and play different music instead of listening to Jillian. Between the music and the profanities spewing out of my mouth, I'd say I'm doing alright! haha

I still have a few more days left of level one. I'm not countign the days when I didn't do the whole thing- I was easing into it. I think I've only done all of level one for 3 or 4 days as of today.

The way you stick to that TF, I have to try it! Keep it up!

Thanks. I owe a lot of to it to my workout buddy. I hate to disappoint her if I don't make it to our sessions.

You should be fine with TF then. It's rough at first, but it is worth it once you start to actually enjoy it. But like I said, just be sure to watch the workouts before you do them so that you can kind of have an idea of what you'll be doing. I did that and I didn't really have to stop and go back because I messed up an entire circuit lol.

I'll have to try new music when I do 30 Day Shred again because as much as I like Jillian, watching the same workouts so often made me hate doing it.

So I haven't worked out at all this week. It started with last weekend we celebrated mother's day a little late with family the mom's got massages and then we all headed out to dinner, then when we got back on Monday that very night my dog got into a fight and he got beat up pretty bad so I had to lug around a 60 + pd dog around the house making sure he went outside to do his business and I have to change his dressings 3x a day.

And THEN I get sick a weird stomach thing it had to be something I ate, I got really bloated then I had stomach cramps I was SUPER tired and my back was hurting (most likely from picking up the dog) *sigh* Needless to say I GAINED! back to 180

On a positive note I do feel better today but my diet has been non existent so its a restart tomorrow I was suppose to start the C25K on Tuesday but I will start tomorrow! and I am going to make up the lost days!!!

Ladies i think were all stuck in a SLUMP this week... and i recon cos we got on here and said it out loud it'll help us to get our mojo back.. i had a very lazy /unmotivated /work stressful wk/celebrated occasions/ and the common factor was " No excuse counts" came on here y'day couldn't even post was so disgusted with myself and after hopin on the scales i am 2lb up bad food choices and generally off plan...

Heres to a new week, today i threw myself into it and half way through the workout the good endorphines started to kick in, i was just sorry i hadn't took the leap earlier instead of welling...

Niteowl & Riestrella we can do this... lets hit the ground running and make a pact that if we have a bad day we won't leave it til bad day 4 to check in... from now on i myself will be accountable for my actions or be it inactions

Good luck this week

Hope everyone has a better week. I've been having chocolate and carb cravings all week. Bread and Chocolate are not my friends, but they can't seem to let me go lol.

Riestrella, don't feel bad - I'm in the same boat! I had a week jam packed with graduation parties for my seniors (along with a piece of cake at each party! :/ ) and a week of digging myself out from under a massive pile of senior final projects and papers. I should have taken the time to work out and eat better, but I didn't and as a result, I'm back to where I started. UGH!! I'm hoping it's mostly water weight though and that at least half of it will fall off by mid-week if I watch what I'm eating and stay active.

On the plus side though, grading is done and school's out in 67 hours, so I will have lots more time on my hands to dedicate to my goal!

Many of you girls have been kicking some butt in your workouts - way to stay with it, and send some of that positive energy and motivation my way, please!
