    I started yesterday as well. I'm going to take pics today as I didn't get a chance yesterday.

    Bust:38
    Chest:34
    Waist at belly button:34
    Hips:41
    Thighs:23
    Bicep:14
    Weight:170lbs

    First day wasn't too bad, but doing the small amount of push ups nearly killed me as I have RA and it affects my shoulder joints quite badly. This morning I woke up feeling very sore in the chest/shoulder area. I'm pushing on though as I know after 4-5 days I won't feel so badly and my endurance will go up. I did 30 Day Shred 2 years ago and I thought I was dying the first week but made it through the whole thing. Took me 40 days, as I did 1 week of level 1, 2 weeks of level 2 and 1 week level 3 with no off days. I had huge success that first time so I am hoping to this time as well.

    A little painful today as I was sore from yesterday ( shoulder joints and hip due to RA ) but I will push on!

    I'm on Level 3 day 3, add me if you like. I've gotten to the stage where I'm combining level 1 with level 3 so 2 workouts one after the other, believe me it gets easier :)

    i actually read that Jillian suggests doing 30DS for 2 days, cardio for 1 day, 30DS 2 days, cardio 1 day, rest day. She said the marketing team liked the way "30ds" sounded, and that each level is 30 days, but she doesn't suggest doing the entire level for 30 consecutive days.

    Same with me! But I realized since I started working out a month ago my endurance has been built up.

    During the workout it I do feel the burning pain. But not so sore after.

    Today is my 5th Day, on Level 1, Day 5 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (for those of u who asked). This is my second time doing it and I really saw results the first time, so I'm back! The important thing is to pay attention to your knees and the form they use - like putting your butt out.

    Feel free to add me anyone. We're in this together :laugh:

    All you need to know, each level is to be done for 10 consecutive days, I would recommend taking a rest day if it's needed, if not great :)

    Phew! That's a hard workout... which I love! You'll find that once you get past Day 3, things will seem much easier than they do at first, so don't give up! :smile:

    What equipment do I need to do this? I only have a rug, a yoga mat and my husband's weights -- not cute and neoprene coated, but those you add rings to, metal and bulky (weight customizable). Do I have to order something else before I can start?

    I'm on Day 12 I think.. kinda been slacking and doing other workouts but just wanted to post and say keep with it. It works!

    NYCNika, just your body, yoga/or connect-a-mats and weights.

    I can't wait till I get there! I'm still at the point where I can only do her workout and no other cardio that day because of soreness! I wonder how long it will be before I can do her workout and my running on the same day?

    It does hurt, level 1 killed my quads, I'd suggest doing some quad stretches a few times a day.

    For level 2 it really hurt my knees and ankles so again on level 2 do knee circles which Jillian doesn't include in the warm up and maybe some ankle circles too.

    Level 3 so far has taken it's toll on my shins, there is a lot of jumping and it hurts it's also a killer on the quads. As long as you are stretching often then your muscles should get used to the workout and it will become easier.

    Lastly, I'd recommend a whey protein shake for after workouts, it will help repair the muscles, you don't have to do this every day but on days where you're muscles are really struggling it will help a great deal and your muscles will thank you for it!

    If you're in pain, rub your muscles out with deep heat or ibuprofen to loosen them up, the next day should feel easier after doing this.

    Stick with Anita if it's too difficult, I still have to do push-ups on my knees because they absolutely kill my shoulders!

    It is a repetitive workout, same thing every day for 10 days until you reach the next level. This can bore people and cause them to give up, one word DON'T!!! The results from this workout are amazing, I've lost 8lbs so far, not many inches but I can see a difference in my overall tone and shape!

    Hope this helps a bit, Good luck everyone!! Don't give up!! :wink:

    Ok I have a huge problem. I am day 9 and I have also been walking and doing 30 mins of my Gazelle every day. I am eating healthy as well.
    Issue...I am GAINING weight AND inches! And I don't mean a pound or two. I mean I went from 169 up to 176 in 9 days! WTH??

    I hope that means you are getting a lot of muscle but I will admit that it scares me. I just started 30DS yesterday so I have only completed 2 days.

    I hope it means muscle too. I'm giving it another week and we'll see what the scale and measurements say
