    Day 9 completed! And my first REAL push-up ever completed as well! How cool is that? 9 days ago I wasn't able to even think about doing the modified version. This is so encouraging. I am starting to feel so comfortable in this level I almost regret tomorrow will be the last day of it...

    The last 2 days I had to push myself to work out though. I need to look at the before and after pics again - they are so motivating! I mean, just look at them!!! You are going to be one of those people!

    I know how you feel. I'm moving onto level 2 without doing the last 2 days of level 1 because I find it so boring, and I need more of a challenge. I did Yoga Meltdown today and it was fantastically challenging but fun!

    Day 11, Level 2 is NO JOKE! Man, that is brutal compared to Level 1, IMO. I used 5 lbs and I'm glad I didn't go heavier. Definitely feel different muscle groups working. Mostly in the core which is excellent because that's where I need the most work anyway! lol

    I'm on my second go. I flaked out after day 4 last time. Today I completed day 6 and feel great. I will smash this bad boy all the way to day 30, and then do it again. (Or maybe switched to 30 Day Ripped).

    Haha I was thinking of redoing it with 5lb weights, but I've started doing the first few days with 3 lbs, then I'll move up to 5 lb to make it more of a challenge. I finished level 2 day 1 just a bit ago. I actually really enjoy it, a LOT more than level 1.

    Ok, I just finished my 1st day of 30DS and all I can think is "What in the hell did I get myself into?!" lol. My arms feel like spaghetti! I'm excited to see my halfway mark results (day 15).

    "30DS" is 30 Day Shred, a Jillian Michaels workout DVD. There are 3 different workouts, each of which you are supposed to do for 10 days. I think most people end up doing it in about 45 days though due to taking rest days!

    Started Day 1 Level 1 today! Started it once before about a month ago and stopped after a few days getting so busy with work. I am determined not to stop again this time!

    I just started f30DS today for the first time. I was a great burn. I hope it brings about a serious change in my core area. I'm doing it with a friend who has done it before. This is her second round. I appreciate her support because I really need the push. Best wishes to you.

    Hey I just stumbled upon this post and in case anyone was wondering how to track Jillian Michael's exercises this is what I did and created my own exercise.

    This is from the forum section of her website

    "JILLIAN SAYS: It's all relative to your age, body weight, height, gender, and so on. The general rule of thumb is, for every 25 pounds of weight you have on your frame, you will burn an additional 50 calories an hour provided you work out at the same intensity for the entire hour.
    For example, I weigh 120 pounds — which is almost 5 groups of 25 pounds — so if I multiply 50 calories by 5 for 250 calories, then divide that per-hour amount by 60 it comes out to slightly more than 4 calories a minute."

    I've completed the 30 day shred, ripped in 30 and am now halfway through body revolution! I wish you all good luck! I LOVE her workouts!
