    Day 4 Level 1 complete. I swear this DVD is getting harder by the day. I'm finding myself having to stop more than I did on day 1. I've come to the conclusion that I need to do it in the morning instead of in the evening after ive done all of my usual work outs. Saying that I still did it this morn and struggled. urrgghh. Pls let it get easier. On the plus side i am kind of seeing more of a difference in my waist... so going to stick it out.

    L1D4 done! I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be. I thought I'd need to stop after a few days and rest, but so far I've done it 4 days in a row. I'm able to do the cardio without stopping now. The first strength training is still hard, I have to stop with the weights at least once while squatting.

    I don't think I'm doing the side lunges right, maybe I'll figure it out by day 10. lol I'm amazed by how much I sweat during the 20 minutes. So excited to take my measurements again at the end of the 30 days!

    So I now have a problem, not terrible but a problem non the less! My work have informed me that they want to send me on a familarisation trip (I work in travel) to portugal for 5 days! I leave on 24th and come bk on 29th! This is just 2 days before my 2 weeks holiday to gran canaria (which is what I have been working hard for! So now my issue is this, I'm now going to loose 5 days worth of 30 DS time! Now how can I condense 30 day shred into 25 days! Any suggestions! I'm considering shortening the length of time that I do each level! So instead of 10 days each level ill now just do 5 days! Or something like that! Baring in mind I still will have 2 days after portugal to complete it! Arrrghhh what do! All suggestions are welcome! :-)

    anyone else gaining weight on this? I'm up a lb but re-measured and have lost an inch off my waist, 1/2 inch off my hips and 1/2 inch off my thighs. So I guess I'm still good! I did day 5 of level 1 today (doing 8 days each and running 1-2 days a week) and it felt good.

    Yahoo!!

    CW 181.0 a loss of 1.6 lbs at 09/04/11
    Waist 36.0
    Stomach 38.5
    Hips 40.0
    Thigh 21.5
    Calf 14.0
    Upper Arm 12.5
    Kneck 15.0

    Adds substance to my argument that 30 Day Shred is building heavier muscle with a gain on calves and kneck but a slight loss on waist, and I do feel more toned, so all the more reason I am chuffed with the loss of 1.6 lbs. Did 30DShred for the 6th day in 7 so well pleased with that, but it hasn't got any easier yet although trying to do it at 9:50 p.m. is not very clever! Ha-Ha :laugh:

    .

    Yep I have put on a lb too! Not impressed actually! I haven't done any measurements so only time will tell whether I'm loosing inches! Put I wud quite liked to have seen some movement on the scale even if it is just a lb down but certainly not up! :-(

    I'm on day 2 of level 2 and my god, its soooo much easier (surprisingly) than level 1. I've cut short how long i do each level as i'm no going away earlier than planned, which would be right in the middle of the 30DS. Watched level 3 though and im terrifyed.

    started level 2 today! It went better than I thought it might. I had done shred a couple years ago and remember it totally killing me-I seem stronger this time. I even bought 8 lb weights and used them today on a few exercises! Anyways. New measurements.

    wt: 135.4 (gain!)
    hips 38.75 (was 40.5)
    waist-31 (was 32.5)
    thigh-21.5 (was 21.75)

    my "love handles" have pretty much disappeared too! Which makes my clothes look a lot better!

    Did L1D7 today and I'm feeling good! My weight is steady so far, but my next weigh in isn't until Friday. I have lost inches though, just a bit here and there, but I'm excited and I can feel a difference in my waist. So looking forward to how much change I will see at the end of the 30 days!

    I'll post my measurements later, I don't have time right now, I just wanted to check in and see how every one is doing. :)
