    Day 1 done here! Wasn't as bad as I thought although having done it before I like level 2 better! Need to get back into the routine again, hoping we can all keep eachother motivated :)

    I finished Day 1! It was hard, but I was actually proud of myself because I mostly made it all the way through - I missed two jumping jacks on one of the circuits, and my dog interrupted me in the last set of abs so I kind of got thrown off and took an unintended break (which at the time I was really mad at myself and my dog for!) but other than that I did it! I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow but I can honestly say that I actually ENJOYED it - I never enjoy workouts! I'm usually so dead by the end of them I can't even see the bright side - but this time, even though I was completely exhausted and aching, I really felt like this was something I could come back to. I know a lot of people say that they don't like Jillian Michael's personality and end up muting her later on, and maybe I'll change my mind, but I actually found what she said motivating to me - "you want this, work for it - this doesn't come for free!" really resonated with me and kept me pushing just a little bit harder and longer. Good job everyone else - we can totally do this!

    I just finished day 4 of Level 1. Using a heart rate monitor, the calories clock in anywhere between 141 - 159. Of course that depends on height/weight/age. I'm 33 years old, 5'4'' and weigh 128 lbs. I love 30DS so far. It makes me sore as heck, but I'm glad to know it's working. I spazzed out the first three days when my weight went up 4 pounds, but that weight was all gone today, so I'm happy again. It's exciting to see so many others working the same program, as well!

    I started on Thursday 15th and it's good so far. But I do wonder if its having much of an effect. My muscles hurt and ache but I'm not sweating as much as I thought I would.

    This probably sounds odd but I've a feeling is not going to work at all for me
    :(

    I know weight plays a big part in how many calories are burned during exercise so gave it a try. FOR SCIENCE :D
    36 years old 5'5" 193lb I strapped on the HRM for todays shred (day 6 level) MFP over estimated this burn, for me. I burned 218 calories in 21 minutes (I stretch a little longer after the video ends just hammies and arm circles nothing that breaks a sweat on its own). My heart rate does stay up for a little while after the shred so just going to the kitchen to grab a much needed glass of water burns more calories than usual. Hope that helped. Keep it up!

    What lbs of weight are you using? I started with 3 and upped it to five..That defiantely makes a difference..I am pouring sweat by the end..You could go to level 3 if its not challenging you:smile:

    5 lbs for everything but chest flys. Chest flys I do 8lbs. I do slow down on Jumping jacks sometimes because they make me have to pee. So maybe MFP is expecting you to do as many jacks as fast as you can until she says stop. I try to match Jillians speed but she is talking through them so maybe we could both go faster there.

    Finished day 2 this morning about 7:30, and I gotta say, it was already easier than Day 1!! I actually finished the whole thing all out this morning. I'm jumping to Level 2 tomorrow for 2 days, then Level 3 for 2 day. Than back to 1 again. I think that will work better for me at least, because it keeps the muscles from get complacent.

    Finished my third day..... and holy crap I am feeling it. First time doing level 2, and as of right now I am waiting to feel my arms and legs again before I go get ready for for church. I'm also pretty sure this is the first time in history that I have worked out over the weekend (not including boot camp.) Cant believe that after 2 yrs I am actually sticking this thing out so far. Everything else I have tried to get back in the saddle has only ever lasted the first day. Well, on to day 4.....tomorrow!
