Haha it's funny you should say that about me doing something every day encouraging you - it's having you on here posting every day that's encouraging me to do something every day so it's a virtuous circle
I had to build up to the 30 minute run - I used the NHS couch to 5k podcasts over 7 weeks to get there (supposed to be over 9 weeks but I got impatient and skipped from 7 to 9!) from only running for 1 minute at a time. Only did it after I'd lost about half of what I wanted to lose though as it's tough on the joints and I've got a slightly dodgy knee already from overenthusiastic Zumbaing
I've got a similar average to you 28 lbs in 26 weeks so just over 1 lb per week - to be honest that's not a bad rate to lose it at, you don't want to lose it too fast so that it stays off. The exercise will help tone and build your muscles so it probably wont always show on the scales - I've seen that some weeks, but like you I can feel the toning effects and I'm happy to continue at the same rate of weight loss if my muscle tone keeps improving.
I'm 10st now but people don't believe I weigh that when I tell them - I'm clearly packed full of muscle
Try not to focus on the numbers so much - I know it's easier said than done but I ended up getting really stressed a few weeks ago over everything and was far too focussed on the scales each week it was making me ill. I've taken a step back the last couple of weeks, stopped weighing every day at home and just trusted in the plan. I've felt a lot happier - last week I *only* lost 0.5 lbs but mentally and physically I felt like I'd lost 3 or 4 so wasn't so bothered what the scales said as I felt brilliant.
Re: jelly legs - for me the killer is the anterior arm raises in the final strength set, they totally kill my shoulders but I do love a bit of pain
Back to 30DS tomorrow I think
