    Hi everyone just finished day 1. Wow I was covered in sweat! Great workout. I had to do the pushups on my knees so I would like to get to the point where I can do the regular ones. Other than that I finished without stopping!

    I just told Jillian "I hate you!" once so not too bad I guess lol!

    I also need to take my measurements today. Because last time I did this workout I lost a lot of inches.

    Keep up the great work!

    Completed level 2 - took less breaks, woo!
    Think I'm going to be hurting more tomorrow, definitely pushed harder today

    Someone asked about dieting, I'm having 1200 cals and then sometimes having the extra 150 or so from the 30DS if I really feel I need them

    What is everyone else doing food wise?

    1200 calories/day for me as well. It isn't too bad actually. With some healthy snacking, breakfast and lunch I was even able to eat two PaPa Johns slices yesterday. hehe. Not the healthiest thing I could have for dinner but I still didn't go over. Cutting out soda REAAAAALLLYYYY Helped.

    That being said, I'm still really torn on the diet soda debate. good or bad for you?

I've never ever felt such an affect from a DVD. Oh my goodness...Now I just hope I can keep this up. But I'm sure with all you guys and this group I can keep at it. SHOWER TIME

    Some experts believe that diet soda is actually worse for you than regular, thanks to the aspartame. This article breaks down 6 reasons to give it up: http://www.wellandgoodnyc.com/2012/07/31/do-you-have-a-dirty-little-dietary-secret-and-is-it-called-diet-coke/ .

    Two years ago, I was a 2-32oz a day diet soda drinker. I thought I needed the caffeine to keep me going and "it was fine because it was diet". Finally, after doing more research on the effects of aspartame and the link to cancer, I decided to quit it cold turkey. Honestly, that was a harder habit to kick than smoking! I switched to drinking LOTS of water, coffee, and iced (NON SWEET) tea and, thus, whitening my teeth more. :)

    If you want a truly healthy lifestyle, kick the soda. You'll feel a difference.

    I finished day 2 of level 1 last night. I pushed myself a lot harder than I had been and I can definitely tell the difference today. I felt great while doing it and was a sweaty mess!! I am actually for the first time ever looking forward to working out tonight!!

    Today will be Day 5 of Level 1. I read somewhere that it burns approximately 250 calories. So I created an entry for it in Cardiovascular. "30 day shred level 1" You can probably find it there. That's what I'm logging until I get a heart rate monitor.

    Finished Day 1 yesterday with my sister, ouch! I am so outta shape, not as bad as her "banish fat boost metabolism" DVD though, which I could not even get thru 5 minutes of. I think I'll start that one when I'm done 30 days of the Shred :)

    Day one complete! I almost didn't bother doing it last night, but I'm glad I did.
    Today though...my legs are killing me!!

    As a previous poster said: I think stretching more afterwards would be a good idea. There isn't enough stretching in the video after the workout.

    Totally agree. Going to do my own stretches afterwards.

    Also started today and just about got through it - hate the skipping but don't mind the jumping jacks (not sure why....). Sweating and shaking by the end but glad I did it, set it up so can do it again tomorrow - preparing for the pain others keep warning about :)

    Day 1 done - bring on tomorrow!

    I'm starting over with the shred, did get to L3. I did it consistently for x2 weeks in April but stopped. Completed L1D1 and it's as if I never started the shred before because L1 is kicked my butt! Just remember you are allowed rest days...just not resting a week like I did :wink:

    This is exactly what I did, except I got halfway through level 2, but rested cuz my knees hurt.

    Anywhooo Level 1, Day 1 starts tonight....AGAIN!
