How many of us are still hanging in there? How long of (if any) breaks did you take or rest days did you have?

Today will be Day 15 for me.

    I am not doing it on weekends, been to busy hope that will change so day 9 for me today!
  • I'm still in... just!

    I had wanted to go straight through with no breaks and did days 1 - 11 in that way
    I've hurt my back though, I think from poor form doing press ups and planks.
    Really annoyed as it's hurts to even do a jumping jack so I rested yesterday and today.

    Really hoping I can get back on it tomorrow, if I rest too long I know what I'm like, I'll never start again haha!

    I'm still in. Also wanted to do it straight with break only after each level for a day, but my body refused. Was supposed to do level 1 day 7 today, but will do it tomorrow

    I feel awful because I haven't really done any of it since the first day did me in so much! I think I've bitten off a bit too much at the moment as I've also been going swimming, and a little bit here and there in the weight room. Since that first day, I have done swimming at least...so hopefully I can start again soon (tonight or tomorrow) and maybe not do as many reps on the leg stuff that she does...because the legs are what let me down so much the first time. I want to do this so badly!

    Today is day 17 for me! I have taken 3 rest days so far. Glad to see some others still hanging in there. :)

    I'm still in it. But I usually don't work out on the weekends, but this last week has been kinda hectic getting back in the swing of things. Of course I over indulged for Mother's Day, so I started back up today. I did level 1 with the Jillian Michaels 30ds when I first started, but today since I've been away from it I decided to start with level 2. It's pretty good, it's harder than level one but I was able to keep up with it for the most part. I realize how week and puny my arms are. I can't wait til I finish 30 days of it, I would love to have toned and strong arms. So good luck to everyone and God bless.

    Will be doing day 11 later today... I'm so glad level one is over. I was getting bored.

    I think I started on the third of this month... Pretty sure today was Level 1 Day 7, and it's considerably easier than when I first started! To everyone else in the early stages, you can do it! Push through! It's definitely worth it so far. Already noticing a very slight change in the way my clothes fit, combining 30DS with healthy eating.

    Something I've noticed though is that I've been much hungrier. I've increased my daily calories but some days I go over even that. ): I'm doing TDEE -20%. Anyone else been hungrier?

    Today will be Day 12 for me since I did double duty yesterday to catch up and have only taken 1 other rest day! Fiance is doing it with me most of the time as well :)
  • Still here! I take two rest days per week, but I pulled something on the inside of my ankle just below my calf. :( So I modified one day (less jumping) and took an extra rest day. I did D9 L1 today. One more day at level 1!

    I'm still here. Day 1 of Level 2, not as bad as I thought it would be. Kicked my butt though. I'm doing the beginner level. I did take a few days off, rest days, busy with the garden day. I am not getting on the scale or taking measurements until the end of the month, but I can tell a difference. Hubby can too.

    Still at it! I think I started a bit later than you all, but I completed Level 1 Day 8 today. I took one day rest of 6 days straight mostly because my left knee couldn't take the lunges and jumping jacks. I've definitely noticed an increase in endurance and I find myself looking forward to the 2 mins of cardio in each level...which is crazy b/c those are the minutes that were really hard during day 1. My weight has stayed the same but I've definitely lost inches! I'm fitting into clothes that I normally wouldn't be able to wear until I lost another 15 lbs!

    Anyone else change the weights they are using? I started with 3 lb weights, moved to 5 lb weights and I'm now using 8 lb weights for most of the exercises. I'm sure once I hit level 2 I'll be back to smaller weights.

    I started on April 30th, took one intentional rest day, then took two accidental rest days in a row when life got hectic. I just started Level 2 yesterday. I haven't done it yet today - couldn't this morning - but am hoping I still do.

    I'm still here. Pulled a muscle in my back so I took off a week. I will start again tomorrow. Level 1 day 5.
    See you tomorrow.

    I did day 1 and then dropped out due to lack of will power. Will start today.

    I'm on Level 2 Day 2 next. I was running 5km each day before the shred but I was finding it tough going after a week or so. I dont want to stop running so I may take a break here and there to focus on a long run.

    I havent lost any weight but my body is changing so I am happy.

    Level 2 is a challenge but that is what it is all about

    I think I need to drop out. I have a couple of herniated discs in my back that have become really aggravated and I am having some significant nerve pain. I am not sure whether something I did in the 30DS caused it or whether it was something totally unrelated, but the timing makes me nervous . I am going to a PT tomorrow and going to try and get really specific instructions as to what is okay/not okay for me to do (have some underlying conditions) and decide then, but I think I need something even less impact. I am really annoyed and frustrated since I really liked doing the video with you all and working myself hard. Need to find a way to work my body hard without injuring it! I hope the rest of continue to do awesome! Go you guys!!! :-)

    Still here, Day 23. My knees bother me every once in a while, so throwing in a few rest days. L3D3 this morning done. Level 3 is way better, and seems more about the abs. To me it seems the level focus has been L1 Legs, L2, Arms, L3 Abs. But I'm bound and determined to finish this thing!

    level three is my favorite too. I just had my first Level 3 day yesterday.

    I'm still here. I started late, but I have not taken any breaks in between days! Today will be day seven for me! I will not be switching to level 2 until day ten.. perhaps day 12. I still cannot do two full set of the side lunges with weights. I feel like I should be able to complete the entire workout with no rests until I move on. If it takes a few extra days.. so be it! I'll still finish! :)

    I also have a hard time with the side lunges, I dont know what it is. That's the only thing I stop on. I have noticed I can do push ups now!!

    I'm still in it! Today was Day 1 of Level 2 for me. I haven't taken any breaks and don't intend to. Level 2 kicked my butt - I'm looking forward to improving!
