    I did day 1 today. Thought I was going to throw up. It was really hard for me being 337lbs w/ weak knees and wimpy arms.

    Can I join in?

    I just did day one and felt like I was going to die. This isn't my first rodeo (completed it before I got pregnant), but I'm really surprised how out of shape I am.

    Current weight: 197
    goal weight: anything below 197 :)

    bust: 42
    waist: 37
    hips: 45

    I finish level 1 tommorrow and it actually gets easier. What a great workout in 20 minutes. My knees do not agree though.

    Everyone told me to use 'circuit training, general' to log what I do with 30DS!

    I want to lose inches, not pounds. I'm at 27" waist, heading for that coveted 24"! Though, I want it because I want to say goodbye to the fat that's left in my stomach area. If I can't be 24, I'd at least like for my stomach to flatten out & become more ab-by. That's my goal!

    DANIKAT15, I was 192 in July and today I am 168 so I believe and have faith that you can meet all of your goals. It's possible! My son is 19 months old and I didn't even start REALLY working out until 2 months ago...and trust me, I was SHOCKED at how out of shape I was as well when I first started because I am prior military! (8 years active duty) Good luck to you!

    Thank you shake! My problem has been a total lack of motivation since having my little girl. But my husband and I decided to try and lose a little weight and live a healthier lifestyle so that she doesn't fall into the same bad habits.

    Day 2 completed!

    I found Day 1 easier than I thought, but I sure felt it this morning when I woke up! Even so I went through it again and I can really feel it working now. Just knowing that it's only 20ish minutes is such a breath of fresh air after the 2+ hours at the gym I used to put in every day a few months back. Also so glad this thread is all starting at the same place as me so we can progress to Lvl 2 together!

    Also, what's everybody doing about rest days? I'm thinking 0-1 a week?

    I haven't figured out rest days, I'm going to try no to take any, however on the 16th I will have to take one as I'm getting a tattoo. So I'm kind of trying to save my rest days until then. So I can take two if I have to.

    I just finished day 1 and I think it was too easy for me. I did feel it in my arms thanks to pushups but abs and legs not so likely. I think I might have to add in some cardio as well as I can see that this video alone with MFP will not get me where I want. Good thing about it is that it went by fast.

    I feel the same way! For level 1 day 2 I upped the weight and it was still overall TOO easy. I've been running on the the treadmill for 30 mins afterwards to up my calories burned. I was going to do level 1 for a week, but I might skip to level 2 today.

    Day 5 for me! Loving the way I feel!

    I am only planning two rest days because I will be traveling for work (13th & 14th). I am going to try and do some cardio while I am gone just to have some calories burned. I think I am ready for Level 2 but will start that on day 11.

    Measured this morning:
    Arms 12.25
    Hips 46
    Bust 36
    Waist 33
    Thighs 22.25

    Hoping these inches will melt away :blushing:

    Day 4 for me!

    It was hard to get up this morning but I did it!

    CW 171
    GW- whatever it ends up being (not weighing) - working on inches.
    chest 36
    waist 33
    hips 46
    thigh - unsure will measure tomorrow.




    arm- unsure will measure tomorrow

    Goal - to lose LOTS of inches :smile:



    If it helps to motivate, i lost 26 inches in October when i did the 30 ds straight threw. Only missed 1 day of level 2, so, hope this motivates you to keep accurate records... I think I'm going to frame mine! Lol

    Sweet! That is very motivational!!! congrats!!!!
