    Just did level 1 day 2 even though I was still sore from yesterday. Yesterday I was getting so discouraged and actually had to stop the video to sit down, catch my breath and drink water. Today, I only took brief breaks (about 5 seconds) when needed and just kept pushing through. I hope that days 3 and up will get easier. Can't wait to see what the results will look like :)

    I just finished day 2 level one also...I certainly can not do all the pushups and the side lunges with the weights I have to take a break on...But at least we are doing it!!!

    I do the modified push-ups. I can't do all the side lunges either... and the squat press is kind of hard for me too. How many pounds are you using for your weights? I use 2 5-pound dumbells.. I don't have anything lighter.

    I do the modified push ups also...I have been using 3 lbs...I probably could use the 5 lbs for the chest fly exercise and the bicep exercise but jillian moves so fast it is hard to switch...LOL I have started shred at least 3 times in the past but never stuck to it but now with all this support on this forum and all the stories of how peoples bodies really changed I am going to do it...Lets keep each other posted on how we are doing:smile:

    Ladies... Can I join you please? I've just found this thread and desperately need to stick with it as I'm trying to tone up some inches to get into my wedding dress (only 4 months to go and it doesn't fit!). I'm on day four today started Monday.... Just hoping to get some decent results.

    I'm doing ok with level 1 but concerned I'm not doing enough, I'm a working mum of 2, with minimal spare time, I'm just about fitting it in after kids bedtime. Also gone back to basics on the diet, but finding all my diaries are carb heavy and I'm struggling to hit the 1200 calories daily.

    Would love any hints and tips you can share, as this is my dream dress (I brought it 9 years ago and kept falling pregnant) and at the rate I'm going I'm not going to get to wear it! :-(

    I just finished day 2! It was easier today, but I'm still super sore from yesterday. I also ran 3 miles today. I had to do the modified pushups for some of the time.... my elbows crack when I do pushups and I don't know how to work to fix this. Anyone have an idea?

    Hope it's not too late to join! I did two days of the 30 day shred a week ago and then life got in the way and I didn't get a chance to continue but I would like to start back up again and reading everyone's posts has given me the motivation to do that!
