Well, I managed to complete 23 days of the 30 day shred between 6/2-7/8 and now I want to start from Day 1/Level 1 - only this time I intend to go for 30 days straight and do more of the advanced level exercises. I'm thinking the only exercise I will have to do in beginner mode are the push-ups because I have absolutely no arm strength, but I will find some kind of arm exercise to help with that.

Anyone else care to join me? If so I will try to find a way to create a log sheet that we can use to check in.

    If you would like to join, but don't think you can do it for 30 days straight that is fine - you have to find what works best for you. As long as you check in on the days you do it, you will be golden :happy:

    Well, I've fallen off the 30 day wagon before but am willing to jump back on. Did Day 1 Level 1 today and got up early this morning to do it since evenings with the kids aren't easy. I always feel like I have to start all over again if I go more than 3 days since the last time. What do you all think?

    I'm in. I made it partway through level 2 before but quit during vacation. I wont be able to do it every day because of my schedule, but I plan on starting tonight.

    IN!!!!!! And so excited to have others with me!! :) I just started this morning. Level 1, Day 1. I'm going to aim for daily, even if I have to do it in morning before kids get up. I imaging life will get in the way some days..but as long as I get back to it, I'm not going to beat myself up. I think I'll get more of a calorie burn and better results in the evening; I was a little sluggish this morning (before coffee and food). Let's do this!!! :)

    Ack! A whole bunch of 30DS posts are starting up and I couldn't find this one. Anyway, here are my current stats:

    weight: 172
    height: 5'7"
    waist 34.5"
    hips 42"
    thighs 24"
    calves 12"
    I'm not entirely sure how accurate those measurements are but I tried my best!

    I completed levels 1 & 2 with 3 lb weights, but instead of moving on to level 3 I began using the 30 minute circuit at my gym while mixing in 30DS level 1 with 5 lb weights on occasion. However, I just decided yesterday I wanted to start doing 30DS more often, so count me in! Today was my L1D2. I will have to post my beginning stats later b/c I need to update my measurements. I'm excited and I know we'll all do great! =-)

    I would say no ;) unless you loose a week or so, it's like reading a book, you don't start over, you put a bookmark in it and go on, or if you need go back a page or two to refresh, so you could knock off a day if you like ;)

    This advice is coming from asking a similar question myself earlier and being encouraged, hoping I can spread the encouragement on!

    I'm in . I am going to do it everyday starting tonight . But the end of the month i will have friends staying with us for like 5 days so i'm going to have to try to find time and away from them to do it. But hoping i can see a change in these next 30 days. I have 20 lbs to do and i need to lose it faster.

    Thanks - I will probably close this thread tonight and create a new topic for anyone that has joined up until the point I close this one. If you want to post your starting stats here, that is fine, I will copy them in to the new thread.

    For those interested, here is the link for the Tracking Form to help keep up with what Level/Day you are on - just copy & past the link in your search bar then save it to your favorites :happy:
