    Hi, my DVD and weights are due to arrive today. This couldn't have come at a better time for me. Can't wait until the 1st though, I go on holiday 5 weeks from today, so I want to do the best I can by then. Hope you don't mind but Id love to join you on the 1st. I'll post my starting measurements and see how I get on. I tried it on You tube on Sunday morning to see if I could do it, and think although it seems like a massive challenge for me I managed 18 minutes of it before collapsing in a heap on the sofa Lol. I've done a little aerobics but no strength training really so it will be hard. I'm 52, 4ft 11 and need to lose around 40 - 50lbs, but more than that I'd love to tone up. So if you don't mind, I'd love to join your group. :smile:

    I have already started it. Actually started level 2 this past Friday. However having to sit it out for a bit. Woke up Sundsy and my knee was hurting. Thought it was better Monday morning until I actually moving around. Started hurting worse. Then my son almost fell out of the grocery cart while I was putting my daughter in her carseat and I twised my knee getting to him. So now it really really hurts. I love the workout and so bummed I can't do it right now. Who knows maybe you all will be where I am by the time I can start again.
    Well if you feel ready feel free to join us! I am sorry about your knee i have heard of people having that same problem. It must be hard on the knees with all the jumping :\ When you were doing it were you doing the modified or advanced moves?

    Good luck everyone starting in April! I just don't have the attention span to complete a 30 day program, but I did level 2 today, and it was fun. Like to do level 3 some time, and maybe level 2 again. Look forward to seeing your transformations!

    On level one I did the modified moves. On level 2 I started doing the advanved. There are a lot of moves on level 2 that are modified. I don't know if it's from 30ds or the elliptical.

    This is exactly how i feel! They say a 30 minute workout is only 2% of your day! We can all do it! And it really does start making you feel better, your energy really improves after a few days!

    Oh I hope I can do it, I started last year and only got thru the first few days, but I am feeling a bit down after loosing 8 lbs then going on vacation and gaining most back. I am 60 and 5'1 have about 10-15 lbs to loose, so will join the group.
    Let do this. 20-30min is not bad...just hard when ya feel like ya dnt think ya can do it, but will start with the low impact moves she shows and just do my best , will take measurements also this time.
    thanks everyone for the motivation...getting old sucks!! But staying healthy is super and making old feel marvelous! Looking better in my skinny jeans cant hurt either!!

    I think I want to join too!!! I will see if I can get my hands on the video at walmart!!!! this is great I have been looking for something shorter to get into in the morning before I get my kids up and I am not a morning person so I do not foresee me doing Zumba or any of the other 50-70 min videos I have purchased. My time is very limited between my work hours and commute but I have been run/walking after work at boys baseball games and practices for about 30min I know i need strengthening too and more time to get these pounds off!!! So how do we join this will be the first time I've reached out to other members on this site?
