    still on track- I won't be able to check in because I am going out of town for a funeral. I should still be able to get workouts in but I probably won't stick to the schedule. I only brought 30 DS with me so that will have to do for now.


    Let's get slim ladies!!

    Woohoo Day 1 of the Slimdown complete! Did 30 Day Shred L1 today....it's been a while since I finished the shred, so I haven't seen L1 in a long time. I'm happy to say that it seemed a lot easier this time around lol! The shred was the first of Jillian's workouts that I tried and I remember almost DYING that very first day. Since then, I've been using a few of her other workouts and I guess I'm in better shape now than I was when I first started the shred! Looks like Jillian's kick butt dvds really do work :)

    You guys are all doing awesome! Keep at it!

    coquetona – I hope you feel better soon :)

    weeziews – great job getting thru day 2…I was also doing the 30DS for the past month and it is definitely nice to mix up the workouts now :)

    JustBreathe418 – grat job! The 2nd time I did the shred, I couldn’t believe how much stronger I was! I don’t think we realize it while we’re doing it, but we definitely are getting much stronger!

    dolphin21 – welcome!! You can definitely do it with whatever videos you do have. I know some of us have revised it as well adding in Jillian’s Ripped in 30 DVD. My calories burned depends on the day and if I did any kind of workouts before…Day 1 I did 30DS Level 1 and burned 201cals, Day 2 I did RI30 and burned 275cals. By the way…I’m 5’4” and 179lbs :)

    Day 3 will be tonight after work! Today will be my first time doing No More Trouble Zones…I’m gonna be hurting tomorrow lol
