    I tried thisweeks ago and did like only 10 days. So I started it up again. I'm on L1D8 tonight. I'm afraid of moving to L2 since I suck at push ups. LOL

    I'm in! I started yesterday and the first one was hard but OK. I found day 2 much harder and now my legs are killing me! It's good though, feel like Ive done some good work. I don't have any weights at the moment so I'm having to improvise with tins of beans instead...will have to get some weights soon cos I feel like I'm cheating!!

    Three days late, but I'm in! God knows I've done nothing but stare at the DVD since April and randomly do one exercise every two months! Maybe being in a group will help me stay true to it! Jillian would sooo have my head, lol!

    I'm IN! I started on Saturday but had to skip yesterday due to DVR issues, back at it today. I've tried before and not gotten past level 1, so I could use the motivation. I'll post my measurements tonight (they are at home) Hubby did take before pics (HORRIBLE) for me. Feel free to add me, just say your with the 30DS group!

    I'm IN too! :) I just started the 30 day shred again yesterday (i made it a week last time :/ ) I also have been doing C25K and LOVE IT! I find that the C25K has helped me tremendously with the 30 DS. Anyways, I'm excited to finally stick with it this month and months to come haha! I'm glad we can all support each other here.
  • I'm starting tomorrow! Count me in!

    Day 4 down! Today went better I think because I did yoga as a warm up before doing the shred. I jogged in place instead of jumping jacks and I didn't use my weights during the workwout. I may not use my weights for another couple of days or until I get stronger. This is with the 3 lb weights. I look at Anita during the workout and try to do what she does in the modified workout. I will be at level 1 for a long time, but at least, it got better starting today. It is still hard, but I know I can do it and I can tolerate Jillian.
  • Count me in! I gonna start tomorrow :smile:

    Finished level 1 and moved onto level 2 feeling pretty confident. But it is SO hard! I thought level 1 was pushing me but this is insane. Feel very good now i've finished the workout though. Can't wait to compare the photos and weight when I'm finished. Staying away from the scales and the tape measure until day 30! But my boyfriend has commented that I look thinner already :)

    I'm on my 2nd rest day. I've done 7 days in total so far and combined Lvl 1 and 2 yesterday and the day before. I'm no longer as sore as on the first 4 days but my muscles still twinge and whinge every morning =(

    Edited to add that this is my 2nd round of the 30 DS.

    I did my first day of level 1 yesterday. It wasn't too bad, but I was definitely tired afterwards. Yesterday I did it after I got home from doing cardio at the gym; today I think I'll do it first and see how I feel.

    I had DVD troubles again yesterday but was able to do day 2 this AM, I'm thinking about doing a make up session tonight, and another later in the week (2 in one day times two this week) to get back on track. Anyone try this? Any thoughts? I'm not as sore as I was but I spent a long time stretching after I finished today.

    I am a fellow shredder! I'm on day 12, which equates to day 2 of level 2. We can dooo it :D

    How often a week do you all shred?
  • Done with my first day! Yippee! 29 days to go!

    I do it either 5 or 6 times a week depending on when I take my breaks. I can't do the 30 DS straight through since I also add 20 mins of HIIT or do two levels of the shred at once.

    I started this morning on level 1. It feels ok for me but I'm not as strong on the press ups so I'll stick with level 1 for a few days to build up some strength and tone. My boyfriend was wondering what all the jumping about was this morning. I live in a block of flats I wonder if I'm annoying my neighbours!

    I just did Level 1 this morning and I already feel it in my glutes and quads. Feels so good to exercise again though! I've not done anything in years. I wonder if I do this and stay on my calorie goals if I'll really lose a good amount in 30 days.
    Here's hoping!

    Just done day 12! So day 2 of level 2 and I'm exhausted. I'm not doing anything else, and try to do it every day, but so far I've missed a day a week. I really feel this level in my legs. Can't wait for day 20 when this level is easier! Fingers crossed I'll fit into a smaller size for new years party!

    Finished L1D4 this morning. The soreness has all but gone away, my endurance during the cardio is much improved, and I could do 10 easy pushups in a row as opposed to the five I could do yesterday. The side lunges with arm raises are killer for me and I am not enjoying the workout, but then again, I am not supposed to enjoy it, am I? LOL The hardest days for me are when I have to run after the workout. I get up early and generally I can run 3 miles with no food beforehand, but adding in the 30DS I start feeling sick mid way and I think I need to eat some protein beforehand. Grocery shopping in a couple of days so I'll need to get some yogurts or such to eat beforehand.
  • Hey guys, I just wanted to encourage all of you to keep going! I'm on day 24, and I haven't felt this strong in a while. I upgraded from 3 lb to 5 lb weights about a week ago, and by the end I'm sure I'll have to get myself some 8 lb-ers for Body Revolution.

    You're all doing great!

    Day 3 level one and my arms did NOT want to do jumping jacks until the last set where we do one of each cardio! Everything else was a bit easier. Even getting out of my chair at work doesn't hurt as much today, LOL! Keep going, we can do this!
  • My fiance and I start Level 2 tomorrow, it's our 10th day today with Level 1. I'll keep posted & ride out the rest of the challenge with you guys!

    We have started & quit this DVD four times now, but this time we're actually sticking to it. Our cardio has improved, my weights are going up and we're kicking this DVD in the *kitten*.

    I usually run 10 to 15lb weights and my fiance does everything with 5lb weights. I've already lost 1lb and my belt loop keeps getting tighter. I can't wait to post pics & see everyone else's results!
