    I'm on day 4 Level 2, and yes my knees hurt! I noticed on Level 1 by day 4 or 5 my endurance had improved - am hoping I feel the same today when I workout. I've lost about 1.5 lbs, but I can see the difference in how my clothes are fitting and my arms are looking tighter.

    Keep going everyone - I keep telling myself "It's only 30 days!" - until I start the next challenge. :wink:

    I've never been able to complete the Shred and have been contemplating starting it again for .... oh, about a week now. Starting it when I get home today (at wrk now).

    I'm on day 4 of level 2. When I was on level one I thought I would die until about day 4, then it just got easier and easier. Day 10 of level one I totally owned that. The Day one of level 2 proceeded to beat my @$$ and it continues to be beat. Hopefully today will be easier and start getting easier. I'm doing 30DS 4 days a week and 2 days of just either Extreme Shed Shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Then on one day I do 30DS and 6 Week 6 Pack.

    End of first 30 Day Shred. Lost 3.1 lb. I am finding weight loss to be a slow go post menopause. Also had a couple of not so good eating weekends, but overall I stick to 1200-1400 calories. When I started I had to use mostly 2# weights. Today I used 5s and a 6 on the single lift. I was really weak due to a combination of inactivity and surgery on both arms, including Tommy Johns on left arm. I also have had back surgery and 2 ruptured discs so I have to make my moves low impact. Here are my inch results:

    Waist 36.5 to 34.5 = 2 In lost
    Hips 48.3 to 47.25 = 1.05 in lost
    Thigh 28.5 to 28 = .5 in lost
    Chest 42 to 41 = 1" lost
    Abdomen 48 to 46.25 = 1.75 in lost
    knee 19.3 to 18..25 = 1.15 in lost
    upper arm 13.5 to 13 = .5 lost (arms are also firmer, still a long way to go)

    Daughter lost 2" in waist, 2" in hips, gained .5 in arms (MUCH stronger and firmer), 2" in chest (she is busty), .5" in thigh.
    She did not loose any weight. She is eating better, but will not log. It is hard to see if you are doing right if you don't log.

    We are pleased. We are both much stronger. We go to Alaska in 21 days so we are going to start over doing each level 7 days and with higher weights.
    I bought the JM Shred Shed DVD which is a 45 minute workout to do when we get back. Think I am going to get a Zumba DVD and take it with me, since I don't want to take weights.

    I LOVE that DVD. I've only done the first work out, but it is so fun!!! Although she starts the work out after the warm up with burpees, which I'm sure were invented by Satan, but the rest of the workout is awesome!!!

    After doing BFBM and NMTZ, I find the Shred levels to be much easier. I have been mixing up my work outs for about two weeks now (instead of just the 30DS). I have now lost 8 lbs and have lost some inches as well. I guess I found what works for me.

    Hi I want to post on this to have record of my progress. Finshed level 1 day 4 this morning. My legs are sore! I'm combining it with an evening yoga routine that focuses a lot of leg stretches. I'm seeing results my butt is bigger. I'm guessing I won't lose any inches on my hips but gain muscle there. I might lose some on my waist.

    Measurements before starting 30ds:
    Chest: 36"
    Waist: 28"
    Hips: 40"
    Thigh: 22"
    Arm: 11"

    My measurements back in feb before I started a strength program were the same but my hips were 36" so my butt has gotten much bigger from all the squats and lunges in my previous program. I was focusing on strength to gain muscle after being underweight. (123lbs at 5'9") I met my goal of 140 of muscle. Now I'm starting this because I want to increase my endurance and tone up my upper body a bit more.

    Awesome thread! I will be doing Day 4 of Lvl 1 today. So far I like it. I was extremely sore after day 2 and took a rest/cardio day and that seemed to really help. I went ahead and took pictures and measurements of everything before I started. It is interesting though that I have actually gained about 2-3 lbs since I started. Since I haven't changed my diet (1200-1300 daily, 5'7", currently 150lbs) I'm guessing that its water retention in my muscles. No matter, I'll keep going and track all the changes in my body over the next month. Should be interesting!

    Keep it up!
