    Can I join? Today will be day 5 of workout 1.

    Still sucking at push ups but doing good with everything else. Able to keep up with Natalie on a lot.
    welcome

    What do I need to do?

    Start the dvd on level 1 for 10 days then level 2 and then level 3. Mostly everyone is on level 1 some have joined who had started level 2 thats ok there a little ahead of us. Go at your own pace if you cant do the video all days its ok (not by jillian its not :) )

    GW: 135 (not necessarily by the end of 30DS)
    Waist: 28.5"
    Hips: 39"
    Thighs: 24"

    So I decided to take today off. I was just feeling too tired. I will continue with day 4 tomorrow. I am also going to try and do additional cardio a couple days a week.

    Day 4 done!

    Happy that my muscles seem to have healed a bit today, so I barely needed a rest at all. I'm still on the girly pushups, but they're consistent and in pace and I never stop.

    Also really proud that I slept in, with only an hour and a half to go before starting work. But I decided to just forgo doing my makeup and instead just did the shred, even though I was 99% certain I wasn't going to do it.
  • Hey guys,

    Day 4 done and feeling proud of myself! My muscles are definitely a lot less sore today but I am still doing girly push ups, and usually wishing I could die halfway through the time, but it is slowly but surely getting better.

    Btw, for those wondering how to calculate the calories from this, I read on another thread the following:

    --This is apparently from Jillians website "30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out. ~ taken from Jillian Michaels website --

    It really helped me...I log mine as general circuit training each day and use the above calculation for it.

    Hope that helps!

    So, since I'm impatient, I measured and weighed myself today, I'm on L1 D5, I was pleasantly surprised with my results.

    SW 152.6 CW 153.4 (I'm ok with this, as I've read some weight gain in the beginning is normal.

    Arm 11.5--Arm 11.25

    Thigh 22.5-- 21.5

    Small waist 32"--- Small waist 31"

    Large waist 38--- Large waist 37.5

    Hips 38" --- Hips 37.5

    So all in all, I've lost 3.25 inches total in 5 days. Amazing :smile:

    Yup, haven't taken a break day yet. I think I will if I really can't get through one of the days, if I'm feeling super wore out, I will probably finish that day then take the next day off, I'm just trying to listen to my body. But the soreness is thankfully gone now.

    what weights is everyone using? I'm using 5 pounders. The last time I did the 30 day shred I was 30 pounds lighter....I feel like I'm going to die. How's everyone else doing? I may have to do level 1 twice....we'll see.

    I'm only doing 3, I may switch it up to 5, but my arms are not that strong, and I already struggle through some things. When they are no longer super difficult to me, I will get heavier weights.

    I've never heard of this before (maybe because I live in New Zealand) but just youtubed it and think I will start today.
    So pretty much do you do each level 10 times? is that right?

    Yes, level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days and level 3 for 10 days. Only move to the next level if you feel like you can...does that make sense???

    Day 3 down today. did a lil cardio HIIT 15 after for some after burn. Not as sore as I should be. The 5 lbs are challenging enough though but dont feel that real good soreness.

    Level 1 day 4 done! I felt better today. I am using 5 lb weights for most of the workout. I have to use 3 lbs for the front raises w/ side lunges. Those are hard! I am excited to finish the first 10 days and take my measurements!
