    L1D6 (I think) completed! I was finally able to get through at least one set of push ups without stopping. I don't know why the push ups are so hard. I can PUSH through everything else except the push ups. Guess my arms are too scrawny and weak right now.

    L1D7 finished this morning. I actually went back thru all my exercise and checked to make sure I had the day correct. It does get slightly easier every day. I find that once I get through circuit 1, the rest seems much simpler.

    Alright, another day of shredding done!! It felt really good to workout today as I was camping all weekend and didn't do it at all for three days. :ohwell: On the upside I spent my time doing lots of walking and a bit of fishing so I wasn't completely still all weekend. Here's hoping that I can get to level three by the end of the week!!

    Great to see everyone else is doing so well too! :smile:

    L1D8 done. I can't believe I've actually made it three days in a row. I definitely slower starting today. I had to take a break half way to get my 4 year old breakfast, but then I went back and finished the rest. It is getting easier.

    Hi, I'm Trace and I'm a 30 DS dropout. Ok, not really. I've been on vacation for the last 2 weeks and didn't have a dvd player so I could shred while I was gone. But, I'm home now and jumping right back in where I left off: L2D9 today. I'm actually looking forward to it. Although I lost lbs while on vacation, I definitely notice the difference in my belly/abs and it's not a god difference! I'm ready to be back on my 30 DS schedule.

    Hello to any newbies who joined while I was away!

    Hi Trace,

    I'm a newbie. Just joined on Monday. I was thinking about doing the Shred. What do you think of it? I am way out of shape but it seems to get so many good reviews. Let me know and maybe I'll get it today and start with you!

    Great to hear that you still lost lbs on your vacation.

    Just a dvd player, a mat if you're working out on a hard surface, and hand weights (whatever lb your comfortable with -- I use 3's).

    I really like it! I can't say I love it because I don't really like to workout, but I do see results so I keep doing it. I've lost 7.5" total in the 18 days (workouts) I've done. It def works.

    L1D9 DONE!! I'm starting to get nervous about moving to L2 but I want to see results (as Jillian says so many times in the 20 mins) I also use 3 pound weights. I think maybe after going through the thirty days I MIGHT increase the weight, but I guess I'll wait until I actually finish it to see. Trace- good for your for coming back. I also quit back in April and came back in June.

    I go to Ibiza for my Hen do in 4 weeks :drinker: :drinker: and get married in 8 weeks, so am up for the challange..... Good Bye bingo wings.......

    Although I have done the DVD 4 times, 3 on level 1, and I didn 1 & 2 on Friday, I will start the 30 days today, and will commit to doing at least 20 mins a day, even if doing other workouts!!!! :wink:

    L1D1, finally! I have been meaning to start the shred for 2 weeks and have not been able to. I have been doing some running though. I'm using the "Couch to 5K" program. Today, I choked during the 3rd day of week 6 and figured that maybe my body was tired...getting home - felt guilty not finishing the 25mins straight of running so decided to break out the Shred DVD.

    It felt good! My thighs and arms were burning a bit -- also was sweating to the max. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next few weeks to see how my body gets toned.

    Mpos- I am also doing the couch 2 5K program. Is yours on the ipod/iphone? I am only on week 3 and it is kicking my butt. Do you do it on a treadmill or outdoors?

    L2D1 FINISHED! At first I thought L2 was a lot easier and then it got to circuit 3 and I thought I was going to pass out. The strength moves were tough to say the least.

    @skywalker and others: I did the shred for the first time today. Apparently, the cycling isn't keeping me in the shape I'd like! The pushups were the worst for me.
    For others, I also recently started C25K, and am on week 2 of that.
    Tomorrow, I am scheduled for shred, C25K, and cycling, to try out a new seat I got for my bday. Whew!
