    Just finished day 3 level 1. I woke up without feeling sore which was a good start and managed the exercises much easier - I even managed all bar 2 of the side lunge/arm raises! Where I'm really struggling is the push ups as my wrist is very weak due to an injury so supporting my body weight is very hard even with the Anita ones. Not sure if/how I'll manage level 2.
    Weighed myself out of interest this morning so if I'd put weight on and I haven't budged at all. :)

    Natzkj - I used a HRM and created an exercise but I think people are saying to use circuit training if you don't have a HRM.

    Today is Day 10 of Level 2 - I'm so looking forward to moving to Level 3 tomorrow! I've had enough of Level 2, it really kicked my bum (or rather - my arms) and I was struggling to keep motivated.

    Sadly, I haven't lost a single pound or an inch, which is quite disappointing. I must admit, I haven't been great with my diet, but definitely not going over 2000kcal (my daily goal is 1500kcal). I can feel my abs getting toned, but there is still a layer of fat on top, so unfortunately the trousers still feel too tight :(

    Anyone else had/having the same experience (aka not losing anything)?

    I started 30DS last night. This is my second time trying. The first time I never made it past Level 1 and I remember being so sore I could barely squat enough to sit on the toilet! I'm in better shape this time so I'm planning on finishing it. My plan is to do it in the morning and do my regular running or elliptical cardio routine in the evening. I have a 5K in 2 weeks so I need to continue running. Good luck everyone!

    I'm on day three of level one! I'm incredibly sore today (EVERYWHERE), and almost considering taking the day off to recover, but I know I shouldn't! I'll probably get the workout in this evening. This is my first Jillian (I almost spelled Killian, LOL) Michaels dvd and thus far, I am loving it. She moves at the perfect pace for me.

    So after starting the 30 Day Shred at the beginning of the month and then only getting through about 5 days during those 2 weeks, I re-started this past Monday after a couple of my friends committed to do it with me! I have found that it does get easier as we go. Luckily, I haven't been terribly sore this go around! Good luck Everyone!!

    We GOT This!!

    Today was Day 4 and I'm being honest, I finally hurt everywhere. My calves are no longer existent, I literally only stand by the sheer will of my mind, but now my butt, lats, abs and thighs hurt. Might be due to the personal training session I ALSO had today, but I don't know and I don't care! Something hurts, it means I used it... into submission...

    Well I discovered something quite awesome on day three. Today's the first day I wore my heartrate monitor and in the thirty minutes of shredding and stretching, id burned 318 calories. That's more than elliptical or running these days so I was super chuffed with those numbers, but the best part was my forgetting to turn off my monitor. An hour and a half of chitchatting with my mom later and id burned 794 calories in 2h13min! That's one HELL of an afterburn!!! :)
    How did you log this? Did you just put your 20 minute workout reading in or the full 794?
    It's very interesting

    Today is day 6, level 2 for me & once again I found it the easiest out of the 6 days. That's not to say it doesn't hurt & push me to my limits, it's just easier to push through & do each section varying between easy/hard moves. I have found a pattern forming that by day 6 on each level I start to find it easier to push myself & not hurt as much.
    I did a half way measure last night & have lost inches which has given me the motivation to continue for the next 14 days. Im excited to see the final results :smile:

    Level 2 day 2 and it is safe to say that altho I found it marginally easier today simply because I knew what was coming and even though I can now beast level 1 completely, level 2 officially owns my *kitten*!!! Just keep reminding myself how much easier level 1 is now compared with the first time I did it and can't wait til I'm further into level 2 so I can proudly say I owned it!! :wink:

    I normally would just track the 318, but having done a test run of my HRM to see what my natural "going about my day" burn rate was, I minused the 100 calories I naturally burn an hour from the total, so just under 600.

    I completed day one level one. It wasn't tooo bad, I only had to catch my breath once, lol. I'm measuring tonight (can't find my tape measure, gonna buy a new one) I don't know about taking pictures, not that comfortable showing my body...we'll see.
    Good luck everyone!!!!! :)

    Take the pictures....you are the only one who has to see them! Believe me, when the scale isn't moving you will be glad. I did and although I had not lost much weight, the pictures showed lots of progesss!
