    I'll be doing my 4th workout today! For anyone who think they're too sore to continue doing it everyday, DO IT ANYWAY. You won't feel as bad when actually doing the shred and you'll also find that with every day you're getting stronger and better at the routines! When I first started I couldn't finish a few of the exercises but on day 3 I could finish them all! And actually do the sit ups properly! I'm already feeling a difference in my arms, too! :)

    Is anyone on here combining the workout with any other exercises?

    I'm trying to talk myself into this. But I think the only way I can do it to get up early every morning and I'm SO not a morning person. And I'm on week 8 of C25K and I don't want to mess that up. But I've been on a plateau for 4 weeks, so I need to push myself. I just don't know if I can get up at 5:30 every morning for 30 days in a row.

    Great advice! I had a personal trainer for a few months back in 2009 and I was doing C25K, personal training (he kicked my butt big time...you think Jillian is bad, try the stair stepper at a quick speed for 15 minutes...killer), and spinning. There were some days I thought I'd die going to the trainer but honestly I felt so much less sore after the work out than I did before. I guess it warms your muscles back up and alleviates the aches. The next day is always a different story lol So you just have to mentally convince yourself you won't die and it will make you stronger and go for it.

    I'm walking and biking with the 30DS. I'd love to run again but still trying to figure out how to make it work with my 5 year old. And I don't need frustration right now if it doesn't work so I am going with things I can count on at home. I have Walk Away the Pounds, some Prevention Walking videos, and a couple prevention dancing videos plus a couple Jillian Michaels. I am using those, walking at work when I get a chance during breaks, and I also have a stationary bike so I am using that. I am aiming for 60 minutes of moderate to intense exercise daily. How about you?

    Ok, since I'm heading out on vacation before 30 days are up, I started today. Honeslty, I thought I'd welch because I 3 straight days in a row of tough bootcamp, but I want results and it would be nice to have the results in time for my vacay so I trudged through it. My body was tired and my shoulders are sore but I'm going to get up early in the AM for day 2.

    I also have bootcamp 3xs a week for the next two weeks, not sure if I will continue other workouts once my bootcamp is over.

    hi everyone! I am new to the forums and I can sure use some accountability!

    I started yesterday and am trying to motivate myself to go downstairs and do day 2! The only thing I am trying to figure out is if I should skip it on days that I have a tennis lesson. It is 1.5 hours and kicks my butt, but I get the feeling if I take a day off the shred I will lose some momentum.

    I will try to take some measurements. Really I need to lose around the waist. I only have 20 lbs to lose, but everything is right around my belly which I know is so bad for you!

    I am guessing I will probably do this, then buy the no more trouble zones video to really focus on my tummy.....

    Got mine at Target today for under $10, so I'm in to start tomorrow! I was so impressed with the before & after pics from another thread on the 30DS, I had to try this for myself :)

    Good evening everyone!

    I am beyond thrilled that you are all joining me! I took my measurements tonight and I'm going post them tomorrow after Day 1 because I am waiting to step on the scale until the AM (its my weekly weigh in time). However, I bought 5lb lime green weights at Target and I know I should have gotten 3lbers, but I am low on money (being a college student sucks when it comes to finances) and figured that I will work myself up to 5lb'ers anyways, and can use them in college!

    I also brought a hot pink sports bra that I am ecstatic to have. I am in love with it. It's my second sports bra like ever (I used to exercise in regular bras sometimes - not cool!) and the other one I had was white, so I'm loving the pink one!

    I'm thinking I'm going to get up early and go for a jog before I do Day 1 and I need to remember to stretch, because my hamstring or some muscle is giving me troubles today!

    SO PUMPED!!!!

    I'm in the middle of a 4 week bootcamp that meets 3xs a week for an hour, the instructor estimates that we burn between 600 - 800 calories (at least) during the work out. The bootcamp is over in about two weeks and I'm thinking of doing the C25K thing, but I have to read into a bit more or another bootcamp not sure.

    woot. day 2 in the books. It feels great to get to the 3rd circuit and I am still doing it, as opposed to sitting watching it the first time I tried 30DS a few months back!

    BFW - yay for new bra! I love treating myself to new things to keep me motivated!

    Okay, I bought the DVD today and have completed L1D1. It's not going to be easy, but nothing is that is worth anything, right? Just think about how many of us might be posting our before & afters when we get done! Let's let that motivate us :-)

    Level 1 day 1 complete!!

    Although my legs feel like jelly, it was the push ups that I found the hardest part. I even did the modified version and struggled, but now feel at least I've achieved something and am looking forward to tomorrows workout and our results in 30 days.

    Hey everyone!

    I completed Level 1 Day 1 just now! I got up at 8:30am today and went for a quick warm up jog (22 minutes) and then I completed the first day of level one. The air punches got to me.. my legs were just going up in flames! I was sweating buckets that I had to keep wiping my brow before I drowned in my own sweat! The one exercise ( I forgot what it's called) but its in the strength circuit where you have both hand weights and hold it up to eye level and down and you do like side lunges? Yeah, I couldn't do that with both my 5lb hand weights so I switched to using just one for right now.

    I have a love/hate thing going for the no rests.. I love how thats kinda the secret to seeing results, but I also hate it because it does feel like I'm dying! hahah!

    I took some advil before I started my morning, so maybe that will help with the pain? I'm not sure what to expect because I don't feel that sore yet, but I could be jinxing myself!

    Here are my starting measurements and I'll post them again for my progress and results, but I'll post them now so people who are just about starting can see what I measured. I know I measured a lot of different places, but I want to be sure I had everything covered.

    Day 1: 6/13/11
    Weight: 152.7
    Natural Waist (above Belly Button) – 31
    Inch below Belly Button – 39
    (I have a HUGE kangaroo patch of fat just gathering under my belly button, so I sure hope that it will burn off!)
    Hips – 39
    R Thigh – 25
    L Thigh – 25
    Bust – 35.5
    L Arm – 12
    R Arm – 11
    Neck - 12.5

    L1D1 done - whew! I did a squat/lunge-heavy workout yesterday, and started C25K today too, so my legs are super sore...we'll see how that works out ;-) I plan to take a nice walk later to help ease soreness. 30DS/C25K starting stats below...will perhaps post pictures towards the end of 30DS (which I'll finish just a few days before vacay, yay!).

    Day 1 (6/13):

    Weight: 146 lbs.
    Bust: 38"
    Waist: 30.5"
    Low waist: 36.5"

    L1D1 Done! My legs are absolutely jello!! I really hope I can survive tomorrow. Maybe I can get in a brisk walk before tomorrow's workout to hopefully ease some of the soreness. That felt pretty brutal. I'm excited to see how I feel after day 7. Hopefully I'll feel an improvement. Took my Day 1 picture so I can hopefully SEE progress from week to week and not get discouraged.

    6/13/11:
    Weight: 143.8
    Bust: 36"
    Waist: 32"
    Low waist: 38"
    Hips: 39"
    Thighs: 25"
