    Alright, so day 3, level 1 completed! ***big sigh of relief*** It's not getting easier, but its tolerable. I'm pushing myself more, and have been able to get through most of the movements without wanting to die. I'm very sore post-workout, but I won't let that stop me from going at it again tomorrow. I also added Turbo Jam to the mix today, to increase my overall cardio. Soooo, as promised here are my measurements:

    SW: 216
    Chest: 38
    Waist: 40
    Hips: 46
    Thighs: Right - 27.5 & Left - 27
    Calves: Right & Left - 16
    Arms: Right - 16 & Left - 15
    Neck: 14

    Happy shredding to you all!

    Ok Day 1 Level 1 done. phew i'd forgotten how much this kicks me when i first start it.

    This is my second round of the 30 DS last time i did it back in April for 30 days straight. The results were amazing. I know if i stick to it everyday in 30 days my abs will be tight again.

    I'm yet to take my measurements but will later. :)

    One thing i do know is i ALWAYS feel better for doing this dvd so thats what i will keep telling myself each day :)

    I've used this when I got down to a toned and happy size UK 10 when i lost a load of weight for my friends weddings. Strongly recommend this workout and does deliver what it says. Once I get back to a more manageable weight I will be doing this again. I did this workout every other day until got to 10 stone 7 then mixed the workouts up by swapping between this, no more trouble zones and banish fat boast metabolism to avoid plateaus because my body had a adapted too much. I recommend all her dvd's including shredong it with weights and yoga meltdown. Cheaper than a gym and if money tight just add a new dvd to your collection each month, no need for gym membership or expensive equipment :) I went from 12 stone 6 to 9 stone 12 using jillian's dvds and healthy eating and proof it does work. Can't wait until I am able to do these workouts again :) I do Wii zumba and lots of walking at the moment but once the pressure on my knees from weight drops and I reach prob about 11.7 to 12 stone these dvds will be back in my player and i'll be working off the Ibs again x If anyone would like to add me as a friend please feel free. Would love to meet new people, all working to a healthier future and would like to share experiences, tips and motivation.

    Would like to join too but will start on Monday 19th, if that's not too late. i know I'll be a few days behind everyone else.

    Hope to combine it with low carb healthy eating, more water, less tea & coffee. (thinking of 17 Day diet program)

    Aim is to drop somewhere between 8 and 10 kilo before 01Nov, improve posture through 30 Day Shred, reduce signs of cellulite and improve energy levels.

    BUT I've had this "wish list " for ages now and just hope I actually achieve goals this time.:happy:

    Love seeing before and after pics but I'm not the type to post ones of myself . Looking forward to seeing / hearing of your successes.

    Hope to log in daily to keep me on track

    Meant to say I've started 30 day shred a load of times before and the furthest I ever got was 11 days but it does work and gets easier by day 4. I even find level 2 easier than level 1 somehow.

    Not getting distracted by life and sticking to the program is my problem, anyhow, here it goes again.

    Best of luck, commitment and endurance to us all:wink:

    Just finished Level 1 Day 2... I'm not sure I felt like it was easier but I did find it easier to push myself through the pain... lol

    Thanks, Jillian! ;)

    I started 30DS yesterday. I have a huge motivation to finish it, but could use some support... I have friends here, but I don't know if anyone is doing it right now. Plus, I think all of my friends are in much better shape than me. So PLEASE add me to the challenge. I will find a way to do the workout everyday. If something gets in the way (I'm a full-time student and single mom of 2 teens) then I will do some kind of activity for at least 30 minutes. BUT I will make this a priority.

    I won't post my weight and measurements publicly, but will send you a PM if you would like the info. Is that acceptable?

    BTW, are we going to have some kind of label to put in our signature? I think that would be fun and motivational :)

    L1D4 completed, and I'm glad I made it through. I did a lot better on all of the movements, and was able to do all the push ups (modified) without stopping. Also, as much as I hate the bicycle kicks, I managed to hold my legs up for at least 50 seconds before dropping...that's a huge improvement, considering on day one I had to break at least 4 times during the whole minute. Jillian's tough, but her workouts seem to be helping me, so I'll just keep going. 26 days to go, and counting.

    Level 1 Day 3 in the books!

    And I actually can tell I have more endurance than on day 1... in only 3 workouts it is noticable. Yay! :)

    I discovered today that my on demand only has level 1 and level 2, not level 3, so I am going to have to buy the DVD after all, but I have a couple weeks in which to do so. Or see if I can play my amazon on-demand acct through my bluray player... I think I can buy level 3 alone through amazon on demand for like $2...

    well, whatever, it'll get done :)

    Thanks Jillian! :)

    I am proud of you all. I completed day 3 level 1 yesterday and when I get back from my walk will do day 4. I am proud of the fact that even though I am on vacation and could have easily blown this off I took my DVD with me and my laptop in the event there was no DVD player at this cabin.

    It gets a little bit easier as you go through the days (just a little bit). I was able to do most of the routines yesterday without stopping for a few seconds. Hopefully it will get easier. I am going to repost measurements after the 10 days are up. I hope everyone does the same. This way if you see a difference it should motivate you to go to the next 10 days at level 2. Even if you don't see a big difference please continue to keep going.

    I took before photos but would prefer to post them after I have completed the full 30 days.

    Welcome newbies and its never too late to Shred. We can all suffer :) together through this. You would think how hard can it be to workout for 20 minutes. It just shows me how out of shape I was truly in.

    I heard level 2 and 3 is no walk in the park. Not sure if I should move on to level 2 once I can do level 1 at high pace or until I can complete leve 1 at a moderate pace without stopping one bit. Will decide when the 10 days are up.

    Good luck everyone and feel free to add me as your friend.

    Okay just completed Day 4 of 30 Day Shred and no it's not getting easier. I was able to do more ;push-ups then I was doing on day 1 and a few more jump rumps but oh my goodness the sweat is dripping off of me. I really hope day 5-10 gets easier othewise I can't see me moving to the next level. Good luck to the rest of the shredders.

    I really hate Jillian right now but in a good way.
