    I was wondering. Are we supposed to do 30 days in a row or do you take any days off? I thought that there would be more information on the dvd about that kind of thing. Also, do you do 10 days of each level or move up when you think you are ready?

    The video is 10 days at each level without a day off. But you can move ahead a level if you aren't being challenged. When I miss a day, I do double the next day (levels 1 & 2). I swear I've lost 2 inches on each side of my lovehandles!!! And I'm only 15 days into the shred! I am so excited to see what I look like in 30 days. I've seen others that take one day off a week. It depends upon your commitment to the program.

    I take back what I said the other day! Level 2 is harder than what I thought!! lol. I'm going to keep pushing through it though.

    I said the same thing on the first day!

    I am on day 7 of level 1. I missed yesterday since It was a wonky work day and my hubbies birthday. Today I also started 6 week to a six pack. I only got half way through that one.

    As always my son is my cheerleader. I was doing crunches and he was going "up, exhale, down, inhale, 1" and repeated LOL it was so funny I was trying not to laugh

    HA! Love it. I need to borrow your "cheerleader" for a bit, my hubby just steps over me on the way to the kitchen.

    You are welcome to join us, however, there is a group that started yesterday. Here's the group:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/323407-30-day-shred-starting-08-22-11-gearing-up

    Most of us here are at least a week into the Shred (i am L2 day 6 today). Are you new to exercising? The reason I ask is if you haven't exercised before, you may want to wait a few more days before going to Level 2. But, if Level 1 was easy, then Level 2 is fine. Us couch potatoes were super sore after the first day of Level 1. Whatever you decide, best wishes to you in your fitness quest. XOXO

    Had to take off working out for a minute, my back has been bothering me. Yesterday I did level 2 Day 7. Tonight is C25K.

    I finished day 7 of 30DS and weighed myself this am. I have now lost 5 lbs since starting 30DS. Day 8 of level one today and day 2 of 6wk to a 6pk. I wasn't able to measure my inches this am but am slimming down and can see definition starting to appear. I do also take a weight loss supplement so I assume that is why I have lost since I have gained in the way of muscle

    Even though I am on Level 2 and have been for awhile, I still find the push ups hard. Anyone else still have this problem? I can do them but they are still hard hard hard. I also have a stupid back and can't do the "regular" moves with the jumping out of the feet and the one that is the mountain climber. I have two small children and it would wake them up as well. (can't have that) You think I'm still getting a good workout??

    I find them very hard too! Much harder than the legs. I figure, just keep pushing through and you WILL get stronger.

    Level 2 Day 5 done. She's still kicking my *kitten*, I'm dripping by the end of it. The last couple days have been REALLY hard to push play but I'm always happy I did. I'm hard on myself so I'd be miserable if I didn't have a good reason to skip it!

    I have reluctantly been keeping up with the 30DS. Jillian is a beast. I have been honestly thinking about going back to running. At least I wouldn't have to hear her voice lol. Naw, I love Jillian!

    I totally understand how you feel. I star at the dvd play screen for 10 mins before pressing play!
