    Just done day 9, level1. I have done it twice on two of the days - it just didn't seem long enough when I was really in the 'zone' I have had a little go of level 2, it looks tough, but then so did level 1 at the start! I got weighed on Saturday, as it's my usual day and I have lost 3lb. I have still been walking and doing some cycling and will take measurements again tomorrow, before I start level 2. My opinion is it's a good workout but hand on heart, I really do push myself I figure if it's only 20 mins it has be intensive.
    Good luck everyone, I love reading everyone's updates!

    Day 4 completed! Did it in the morning and that was much better. Muscles feeling quite good today. I find the first circuit (especially cardio section) of level 1 the hardest, after that its all not too bad. Still a major challenge but I can get through it without stopping and doing the exercises correctly now. Still sweat a whole lot. You guys are definitely a huge motivation. Let's keep going strong!!!!!

    Day 6 today. Yesterday was much easier, pushed through the pain...and do you know when she says "I bet you're floating off the floor now" I really feel like I am. Press ups still really tough, but I'm finding them much easier than I did on day 1!

    Hopeful for a loss this week - lbs or inches is fine with me! I can feel the difference in my body already, so roll on day 30!

    Hope you're all persevering and doing well.

    All the best,

    Had two days off for family wedding over the weekend, but was really pleased when I did it again yesterday that I can still get all the way through without stopping and I'm not aching too much, just a gentle nagging in my muscles now, the utter pain of days 3 & 4 haven't come back, thankfully!

    So officially I've just done day 14 of the shred, day 7 of level 2 (only did 7 days of level 1) and, though it makes me really nervous to contemplate it, I think I might move on to level 3 tomorrow or the next day. Level 2 still makes me sweat buckets but the fact that I can manage it all makes me think I need to push harder again.

    I miss the bicycle crunches from level 1 though - at the time they were torture but I felt like they really had an effect. Level 2 abs are 'harder' (in that they make me more out of breath and work more muscles at a time) but the bicycle crunches really felt like they worked the abs hard.

    My brother also said he thought I looked more slender when I saw him at the weekend, yeay! I'm still amazed at how quickly the differences happen.

    Keep it up all, looking good for level 2!

    Well i'm going to admit it, I had a bit of a fail yesterday. Satuday i had been out with a bunch of friends, went to bed at 4am, let me tell you...i am most definitely not 21 anymore lmao. Got out of bed after lunch yestday with zero energy, felt a little like I was going to die, or pass out standing up. I tried to do the shred later in the day, but it just wasn't there, I felt as though I was doing everything improperly (technique wise) due to my lethargy and figured rather than risk injury i'd just give myself a break. Felt very guilty! Woke up this morning feeling more energetic, will be walking the 4k to work and doing Jillian as soon as I get home!

    Day7 done! I hate side lunge arm raises. I hate them even more at 6 in the morning.

    Have lost 2 ponds so far!

    This is day 8... I was hoping to start level 2 today... but I don't think I'm ready. I slacked too much on Saturday's exercise and yesterday was a wash. I was just too tired. So wish me luck on stepping it up today.

    On a positive note, I seem to have lost 4.5 pounds this week. I suspect some of it was water, but everything is trimmer and tighter. Love it!

    Love Jillian Michaels!

    A tad behind the rest of you....Last night finished Day 2 of Level 1. Was amazed at how much more stamina I had on Day 2 to get through the video. Is that crazy!!! But I could tell a difference already!

    Did day 6 level 1 today. It was almost easy...almost! Still have to do 'girl' push-ups, but I can get through them.

    I'm excited to see how well I can do the video now. Day 1 and 2 I had to stop a few times and catch my breath. I can do the whole video now. I do get very winded and tired, but I make it through!!!

    Kind of scared what level 2 will bring. Level 1 is getting easier, but I still remember how hard it was starting it!!

    I am about to do day 6 level 1 when i put my son down for his nap --- BUT I was feeling kind of depressed bc I haven't lost weight - I haven't gained either so woot woot - anyway, I decided that I would measure simply bc curiosity gets the better of me (I will officially do it every 10 days I decided - when I switch levels) anywho, I have lost 1 inch off of my hips!!!! Just after 5 days! So I am PUMPED and ready to go! BRING IT JILLIAN! I CAN TAKE IT!!!

    Did day 2 last night and OMG I am in sooooooo much pain. I am starting to think I am the only one experiencing pain in every muscle of my body :) I really push myself doing it and do the hardest moves.

    I can't rate this dvd enough, a hardcore sweaty workout in 20mins is amazing :)


    U ain't the only one I thought I was gonna die trying to walk down my stairs it literally took my like ten minutes to get to the bottom. And I am only on day 3......but I have faith that it will only get better

    Day 6 level 1 done!! I got tired of Jillian's voice and put on my own workout tunes while doing the video. I could still hear her though... Having my own music really helped me push harder on some of the moves that I was doing the modified version of.

    So, I'm a little ahead. Today was day 14 for me. Day 4 of Level 2 (which I don't like as much as level 1, but is working nonetheless). I've only lost 2 pounds since I started it and was feeling a little discouraged, so I decided to take my measurements. I've lost 1.4 inches off my waist, 1.2 off my hips, 2.1 off my bust, and a total of 1 inch off my arms. So, as frustrated as I was with the scale, I'm super psyched about the inches (5.7 in 2 weeks) I've lost! Hang in there - it's SO worth it!
