    Had already completed 30DS from late July-August (only took about 3 rest days). Definitely saw changes in the inches lost (only lost about 2-3 pounds). Went back to walking some jogging as my only exercise (although I did do Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism a few times). I felt I needed the arm and ab work from 30DS and I wasn't getting it any other way, so I'm going to do it again. Day 1 Level 1 for me today and boy was it hard! I thought it would be easier since I'd done it all before, however it wasn't! Oh well, here's to 30 days again. This time I won't be doing it all in a row and will be taking more breaks.... I"m moving into maintenance mode.

    Found my weights, they are only 1lb ones and I didn't feel much difference with and without.

    I was exercising at 6:15 this morning, wtf is that about? Iam going for some sort of subliminal message on the tape..you must exercise...

    I did a lot more stretching ESP of my shoulders this morning, I really don't think she does enough given how hard you work the muscles

    Day 3 workout due this afternoon. My muscles say no, no, no, NO! Wondering if I should push through the pain?



    Annoyingly, my 'exercise hives' seem to have come back too ... reminding me why I usually stick to swimming. Does anyone else suffer from this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urticaria#Exercise_urticaria

    My Dr advised taking antihistamines shortly before the workout, but the make me sleepy =/
    Hi, dont' know if i'm replying to you specifically and if I'm doing this right!!!! i used to get exercise hives!!! awful, had to stop running it was so bad....i took antihistamines at night as they make me sleepy and it sorted it out...once i did it for a few weeks it seemed to go and I rarely suffer now...

    I'm on day 3 of lvl 3 (or rather I'm after it) and I enjoyed it even though I had to slow down on the intensity side (I think I've got a cold and had to skip workout yesterday). My weight loss is near to none at this point. I am getting frustrated, but I promised myself to stick to the program for 30 days of working out. I had some rest days of course, mostly one a week, but sometimes two.

    I love 30DS! I don't do it continously like how she recommends. I do it 3 to 4 times a week. Been doing it for almost two months now and I am so much fitter! I moved levels when I was comfortable doing what Natalie was doing (the harder version of the exercises). I moved from level 1 to level 2 in a couple of weeks but it took me longer to move up to level 3 from level 2. I would encourage you to do it at your own pace so you get the best out of it!

    I started the 30DS a couple of weeks ago, the pain in my quads was awful for the first few days and I couldn't complete the whole sequence without taking a break....... But now I can do the whole sequence without stopping, I can also manage to walk m dog afterwards too. It sure does work because even though I'm not losing masses of weight I am losing inches and I am very pleased with my progress. Give it a go you'll be amazed how quickly you feel healthier

    I'm after day 4 of lvl 3 - had to take a few days off due to cold or something like that. So if I keep going this week will have 'almost' done it by the end of the week and month. I'll have done 9 days of lvl 1, 10 days of lvl 2 and 9 days of lvl 3 :) Let's hope I can make it.
    And probably after that I will restart and try doing it the harder way and maybe with heavier weights (atm I am using 1,5kg/3.3lbs ones).

    I'm on day 9 of level 2 and not only do I hate this level, I'm feeling overall frustrated because I haven't lost any inches or pounds. I also look the same yet have been watching what I'm eating (for the most part!), logging calories, and doing things like zumba and pilates at the gym. Losing my motivation!!

    I just started day one today! :D
    It wasn't as hard as I'd feared (my fitness level is basically in the minus) but my legs already hurt, and I realized how pathetic my push-ups are. Will be interesting to keep this going, feels good :)

    I'm on Day 8 of Level 2.

    I don't do it everyday, the shoulder pain drives me crazy (military lifts and v-rows) and I get pissed off I can't do it the full time.

    But my abs, legs and upper body have all developed muscle mass.

    I became super bored after doing it 4-5 days in a row. I don't know how people can do the full 30 days in 30 days.

    I started again today - I got up to day 8 on level one last time but injuried my back (unrelated) in August. I really haven't done very much since then not really pushed myself until today. Got up at 6.30am and started OMG forgot how hard it was at first. I even had my 12 year old daughter doing it before school.
    I was just wondering what people put this exercise down as for calories etc. Cardi or strenght as it is both.
