30day shred.. She was out to kill me. o_O"

I did 30 DS last year.. had awesome results.. It will be worth it in the end!

WAIT.. do any of you do the DVD 2 TIMES a day.?? god... i lost 1lb so far.

Today is day three for me of week one. I do not plan on doing it twice a day, but I do plan on doing it everyday. I think if you want to do more exercise, try something different. Go for a walk or try yoga? Your body does need some sort of break and you dont want to hurt yourself and have to stop completely.

After I am done working out though, I always feel so good. Makes me want to do another different workout....guess that is the endorphines (SP?)!! Good Luck Freemyskinny, rest assured we are all working hard together

OMG!!!! I just finished my 1st day of the 30ds too! Today was day one! I didn't think 20 minutes of anything would make me sweat as bad as I did! It was crazy! and some of it I couldn't do,,, like the side squat things with the arm raises.... Yeah... I did the best I could though. I am NOT giving up either!!! 29 more days girl, 29 more days!!!!! I really hope we both see some results!

It's a great workout, I scream at JM during any of the abs workouts! I have followed Anita (the less intense workout) all the way through. I have not done the workout everyday, in fact sometimes missed 5 days but I have kept doing it whenever I could. I started in January. I took starting photos and measurements. I take measurements every 2 weeks and I am certainly shredding inches!
I have lost 4.5" on my thigh, 5" on my hips and 1-2 inches in other places including my arm, under bust, waist, belly.

I cringe at the photos and swore no one would ever see them but now I am really proud of the results. Imagine if I did the workout everyday! Still a long way to go, I have 22lbs to lose. I am on level 3 of 30ds (level 2 was boring) I might move up the intensity to follow Natalie very soon.

Jillian Michaels is amazing. I have done the 30 day shred and unfortunately the first time I did it i didn't do before and after pictures. But I love a little over 10 lbs. on Level 1. It really works. I have 3 other dvds of hers. She truly rocks.

I mute Jillian & crank my own tunes!

I think that this is what I'm going to start doing as well. I tried the music only setting and hated it!

I finished Level 2 Day 2 this morning and I must say I felt much better than I did yesterday (level 2 day 1). Yesterday morning I truly wanted to shut the tv off and punch someone in the face. My abs were literally on fire all day, I kept telling my fiance that I wasn't sure if I had a stomach ache or if it was the abs lol

Looking forward to end of level 2 progress pix... so I can motivate myself to hit that level 3 button!

For those of you that are losing weight with the videos, what type of diet are you following? I did lose 4 lbs with the 30 DS, and several inches, but I had expected to lose more.

Are you eating just low calorie, or do you do low carb, high protein? I am open for any suggestions or advice that you all can give. My diary is open, but I know I went overboard on carbs today, so today is probably not the best example. I started Ripped in 30 last week, and am dedicated to seeing it through.i

:glasses:

The need to punch Jillian in the face is just fuel for the fire, baby.

I'm on Day 8-Level 1. Keep at it because everyday you can literally feel your body getting stronger. I can see my arms getting definition which is so cool to to me! I'm actually ready to move on to level 2 but scared at the same time because everyone says that's the hardest! I log it into my exercise under circuit training. Several people have said that compared to their HRM that it's about equal the same amount of calories. I bought myself a HRM last night so I'm eager to compare what it says today after my workout.
