    I just did the 30DS Level 1 and went to log it into my exercise and there wasn't a "strength/cardio" to choose from on the list. What are you all putting it in as? I ended up choosing "aerobics general" at 30 mins.

    I log it as circuit training general but I use my HRM for calories I burn 175- 200 per circuit MFP I would cut at least in half cause its way way higher than what a HRM shows

    Are you guys weighing yourself?....Are you doing extra cardio on top of JM everyday? Walking/running ect?

    1st wk i lost 4kg, 2nd wk nothing (but thought maybe in inches), 3rd wk (today) Nothing!....Even if it is inches (which i havent measured yet since i started)...should be atleast losing something aswell right?

    argh! so frustrating when your working heard every damn day....Especially since im just startign out aswell, shouldnt hit a wall for ages yet

    I think with this workout you do gain some muscle so maybe it's just that? Don't get frustrated, keep doing it and the weight will come off. I don't weigh every day, it's tempting sometimes but for me I think it's best to do it once or maybe twice a week. I just started MFP so I haven't done my first weigh in yet to see any progress but when I've "dieted" in the past the first couple weeks are sometimes a slow start for me. :smile:

    I ended up measuring after all and im down 6in / 10.5cm so im VERY happy with that! Im thinking it may be muscle....i tried on a top today that i wore 2yrs ago and it seems to fit better now than then...even tho i prob was 3-4kg lighter back then...


    Level 3 Day 1 today! Wowza is that a workout!! Phew i was dying doing those jump lunges lol...my legs were just about to give out on me i think haha
    But i did enjoy it...I thought the exercises were pretty cool actually.

    Don't get discouraged! You are gaining muscle. I had the same issue! I gained about 6 lbs the first 6 weeks and I was ready to quit, but then I started burning the fat and could see the results. Don't give up! You will get there if you stay with the program. I did add some other cardio 3x's a week and some strength training, but that just enhanced what I was already doing. Good luck!

    Happy Mother's Day Shred Buddies:smile:

    Hope everyone is doing well.. I did day 21 and day 3 on level 3, It's definately a workout but feel so great afterwards..
    for anyone interested in "last chance workout" Yes it is biggest loser as well.. I will probably do it again myself in a few months.. Hope everyone is enjoying "being shredded":wink:

    I have decided to just check measurements at the end.. 9 days to go "WooHoo"

    Well, since I am new here and just "restarted" the 30 DS (day 3 level 1) I am going to continue, plus I really like it and the time fits into my morning routine really well.

    I did mine this morning, I wish I had a better idea of the real calories I burn doing it since I can only log it in a "circuit training", there is no cardio/strength on the list to choose from.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Maybe I need to get a HRM so I can tell my calorie burn a little better. Thanks for the tip :)

    okay- the weekend was a struggle for me with it being mother's day and we had alot going on through church so i did not get any days in on 30ds. technically it is really only day 10 today since i have missed a few days, so back on track and i think i will try level 2 again but it might be a struggle. wish me luck!:bigsmile:

    I know I'm jumping in towards the end of your shred - but I am starting this weekend (waiting for my DVD to arrive, I'm praying it comes tomorrow!)

    Just been reading some posts, just a few questions - what should I log this as in my diary? and, how much should i expect to burn? I only want to loose 2 inches off my tummy as I am near the end of my weightloss and I am 100lbs (I'm very short :blushing: and petite but carried all the weight on my tummy) any help would be great. Thankyou

    I am going on day 7 tomorrow of Level 1 so I do plan on continuing. I was thinking about moving on to Level 2 sometime this weekend, I've done Level 2 before and I may need a little more than 10 days on it anyway...lol. When I log it in I use the "circuit training" choice and put it as 30 minutes, it ends up being a little over 300 calories.

    Welcome to the thread :)

    I used to enter it that way too and it would show around 350 for me but I got a HRM and it was way less :(
