    When I log it, it says I burn 284. If you weigh more it's going to burn more calories so I don't think your number is too far off.

    Hi Shredders!

    Just finished Level 1, Day 9 and felt today that I'm ready to move on to Level 2. Mentioned in another thread that I did the Shred once before and got incredible results after just 18 days. I didn't lose a lot of weight but I think the inches can't be denied. Take a look for yourself and be encouraged to plug on. The first pics (with the green background) are just after 18 days. The ones following are after the 30 days.

    Welcome to all the new Shredders! I hope you all find this thread as supportive and motivational as I have!

    Today was level two day seven and I'm toying around with the idea of moving on to level three a bit early. I'll probably do level two again tomorrow then move on! So exciting to feel myself getting so much stronger! I still sweat buckets and get out of breath but I feel like I'm ready for the next challenge. Plus when I checked the calendar I'm probably going to miss the last few of my 30 days because of family events and travel. This is going to end up being the 27 or 28 day shred :wink:

    As far as doing the advanced moves in level two I just hear Jillian in my head saying "You're *strong,* this is *easy* for you" and think, okay, whatever you say Jillian, you are the boss, lol! Really, it's super tough but totally worth pushing myself for, you all know what I mean :smile:

    I haven't done insanity, but I understand from a lot of other posts that most people use the 30 day shred as a stepping stone to start insanity. However, I don't think this program will work well for you given your injury. There are lots of planks, push ups and weight lifting that cause ample stress on your wrists/elbows.

    I used to do Insanity but now that I am back in school I have found that my body can not keep up with those workouts. Has anyone done both and can compare the intensity level? I currently go to the gym 3-4 days/wk for 60-90 min but would love something more consistent. Thanks!

    Also I have somewhat of a restriction with my wrists/elbows (possible pinched nerve? working with the OT and hand surgeon to figure it out). anyway, do you guys think that the exercises are easily modified?

    dang, not what I wanted to hear but thanks! good luck everyone

    I want to join! Yesterday Monday, Jan 5th I did day one of level one. I didn't do it today due to muscle soreness in my calves and thighs. I hope to be ready to continue on Wednesday.

    Level 2 day 4 - well it wasn't quite the turn around I hoped for, but it is getting better. My shoulders are still my weakness but I did move up to some of the more advanced cardio moves today and it wasn't too bad. Even the plank twists are getting easier. Everybody has been great motivation to keep pushing myself when all I really want to do is stop so thank you!
    :happy:

    Day 6 of level one--last day of level 1!!! Today my hubby decided he would show me up and did the whole thing with me...but with NO weights ( I told him to use cans/bottles but he didn't wan't to). And the funny part is that he was sweating by the end. Jillian kicked his butt :)

    This is common and something that people should keep in mind when the are deciding against doing their work outs... soreness usually only rears it's face, before and after, but not during your work out. So, if you can try and keep up with them :)
    Congrats Alicia!

    Level 1 results: I only weigh-in on Sundays. Started on a Saturday and finished on a Monday so there might be a bit more to account for, but I was down 1.5 lbs after 9 workouts + 1 rest day. Unfortunately I don't have a measuring tape yet, but I did take pics. I can't see a difference yet, so I think I'll wait to post them once I have visible change, hopefully at the end of level 2.

    Level 2, Day 1: I think I'm dying. Jillian just kicked my butt all over the place. I had a very tough time with most of the plank moves - the only ones I was able to keep up with completely were the walk outs. I thought some of the strength moves were a lot harder too, but I'll probably get used to those faster than the planks! I wanted to see a bigger change in my body, and I'm sure this will get me there faster.

    Keep up the great work everyone! :)

    Yay, another 30DS group!! I did the shred through November (lost a total of 10 lbs and 6") and then decided to do it again through December and add more cardio. I've been switching up the levels instead of doing 10 days of each like I did the first time. So I did 3 days of level 1, 1 day of level 1 & 2, and then 2 days of level 3 so far for December. I ordered a cardio "dance" video from Amazon, should be here any day now, in the mean time I just turn on a random cardio video from exercise TV. I took more measurements this time than the first time through, was also brave enough to take pictures (though I'm pretty sure I will NEVER be posting those-ugh!).
