    Hey, I just completed day 1 a few minutes ago. Although I felt it was a workout, it didn't tire me nearly as much as I thought it would, even though I haven't worked out or stuck to my diet in months! I followed Natalie for most of it apart from the push ups (and for 1 of the strength exercises I needed a 5 second break) but apart from that it was so much easier than I thought it would be. I might try and go for a run tonight to get more cardio in if I have time. I would try it again but lets wait and see how sore I am tomorrow haha ;P

    I'm off to work, but I'll post my before pics tonight!

    Hi guys! I joined another 30ds thread some time ago but I follow all 30ds topics to stay motivated. Today will be my 15th day!

    One thing to keep in mind is, from what I read, many people didn't lose that much weight but they definitely lost inches. So just don't feel disappointed if you don't lose as much as you planned. I guarantee you you're going to feel stronger after just a few days and that you'll notice a big difference in your body shape as well. Take before and after pictures and make sure you measure yourself!

    Another thing: you might want to consider taking rest days. The routine Jillian recommends is: shred - shred - cardio - shred- shred - cardio - rest. Your muscles need time to recover and grow. Also, Level 1 can be hard on your knees/ankles (lots of jumping), you might get shin splints as well, Level 2 can be hard on your wrist joints (lots of exercises are done in a plank pose). So just take it easy. I actually feel like I get better results when I take my rest days because I'm much more effective and less tired during the workouts.

    And make sure to remove all the junk food from your house ;) it would be such a shame to waste weeks of solid exercise by eating like *kitten*.

    Is it too late to join your challenge. I just started my weigh loss journey on Nov 2 and so far lost 4 lbs..... I have 50 lb.s to go would like to have 26 more off by Thanksgiving. I started a very strict food intake program. I was on weight watchers and I loss 18 lbs with them in 9 month and I found myself slowly gaining it back because you can cheat on it very easy. So I started with a 650 calorie diet plan and it's coming off. A big watch-out my Dr said is you can only do 30 minute excerise because you will get tired very easy. So I would like to join your challenge to keep me focus and to keep going.

    I'll join too :) I just did my first workout and Jillian kicked my *kitten*. It always amazes me how you can be working out for so long, try something like this and be flat out exhausted. Love it :D

    Well I did day one for 30 Day Shred and it looks easy but the arms do get a workout. I usually go to the gym in the morning and do the treadmill or elliptical. Should I continue to do these morning workouts plus the 30 day shred or will i get too worn out? I am kind of tired today and I worry about calorie consumption. I have to lose the 7 pounds I gained in the last 2 months and I am really mad that I let that happen :( Yesterda I didn't eat very much. I meet with a dietitian on Thursday.
    Thanks
