Hey, everyone. I just got started yesterday. I'm dreading it today. Here it is already 11:30 and I haven't done it yet. I'm going to take my measurements, take some hideous before pictures and DO IT!0
-
Ive been doing it on and off for a while now. I think I definitely should start measuring. lol. as I havent lost any weight but my clothes are fitting much better. I will post my new measurements later this evening :happy:0
-
Go ahead and get it over with! That's how I felt on the second day i was dreading putting the DVD in and doing them but after I got started it was all a breeze: a really hot tiring breeze!0

Ok, after reading all of your comments I am definitely going to start 30ds. In fact I'm going to start right after work today so i don't lose my motivation. Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Feel free to add me. :happy:0

@jess--welcome! Yes, this thread was a great idea--it's definitely helping motivate me!
@emely--:laugh: A "hot tiring breeze" is about right! :laugh:
@curvi--I've heard most people don't drop a lot of weight doing it b/c of the strength work. Definitely measure!
@cheveux--I also took some hideous before pics that I will NEVER post for anyone else to see, but at least I'll have a comparison for when I'm done. Day 2 was also hard for me, but emely's right--it's really not so bad (though not quite a breeze ).
@avva--180 calories sounds a bit low for your weight; however, if you are modifying or lowering the intensity due to your ortho issues, it could be spot-on.
@tracy--I don't have the "twins" problem, but one of my friends who's large-chested does the same thing: regular bra + sports bra = the girls stay put. :laugh:
@zombie--Welcome! Rule #1: Cardio
AFM--I did L1D5 today after my 2nd rest day of the week, and it felt pretty good. Still struggling with the push ups--I can do the first set "army" style, but I have to modify for the second set. I definitely felt stronger for the bicycle crunches at the end, so that's good.
Will be starting week 2 tomorrow. I'm going to try to stick with this schedule of taking 2 rest days (from 30DS--I still do other exercise) out of every 7. If I plan it right, I should be finishing all 30 days right before I leave for vacation in mid-July.0 -

I gotta tell you I thought this was crazy talk when I first read it but you were right. This time I knew what to expect and it wasn't nearly as bad. I don't feel near death today after my workout like I did yesterday either.@cheveux--I also took some hideous before pics that I will NEVER post for anyone else to see, but at least I'll have a comparison for when I'm done. Day 2 was also hard for me, but emely's right--it's really not so bad (though not quite a breeze ).
They are absolutely hideous! LOL! OMG I will never show anyone.
Are any of you doing this for 30 days straight with no rest days? Or are you taking one or two rest days a week? I've already worked out 5 days this week so I'm not sure if I should give it a rest for 1 or 2 days this week.0 -
I ended up taking a day off today. Wasn't entirely planned but I got so busy getting ready for a Father's day picnic at my house tomorrow. I've been in and out of the car and on my feet so much I feel as though I did do it!
A little disappointed with my weight, I actually gained .6. Does anyone think this is normal? My only off day this week was today and I weighed in prior to some indulgences this afternoon anyway. In fact I've been a little under calories for the most part.0 -

I had planned 2 rest days/week because I've read so much about giving muscles proper rest days. Also,Tracy (tlh) said that Jillian recommends 2 rest days each week as well meaning the entire 30 DS actually takes 6 weeks to complete.0 -

Thanks so much for explaining that to me. That's exactly what I needed to know.0 -
Joining in here. Day 1 complete.0

what is the 30 shred and how does it work ??? thanks0
-
Day 5 for me, feel free to add me!!!0
-
Just got through Day 2 of Level 2. I actually think I like it more than Level 1. It has more challenges but with my ortho issues I think its easier for me to non-modify. Also I upped my weights to 3 and 5 lbs. Calorie burn was higher.
@skinny- Thanks again! You are prob right and I am modifying. I'm actually going to a PT on monday for an evaluation so my modifications may soon be a thing of the past!0 -
@canderson- Jullian Michaels put out a system of discs called 30 Day Shred. There are 3 levels and the idea is each level is done for 10 days before you progress to the next. roughly lasts 25 min per workout. Can be very challenging with results. I believe someone mentioned you can find it on youtube if you want to check it out.0

Going for level 1 - day 3 today! My abbs are a little sore, but i don't look forward too the last abb exercise ! That one hurts!0
-
Level 2, Day 6 tonight. I have lost 3 inches around my waist. 1 around my hips, and half on my biceps. I haven't been eating so well, so I have only lost 1 lb. I have been running every other day, too. I put on last years swimsuit and it's WAY cuter on me now. I feel so strong!0

Hi guys-
I ended up skipping 30 DS yesterday due to time issues, but got right back to it today L1D6. I'm doing 2 rest days/ week, so yesterday will just count as one of those for this week.
@music--awesome about the swimsuit! Your results so far are encouraging, but I'm waiting until I finish level 1 to measure again, so one more week.
@gijo--Yes, my abs were killing the first couple of days, but feel much better now! Also, those last bicycle crunches were much easier today.
@avva--hope the PT has good news for you tomorrow!
@dancing--can't wait to hear your results so far!!
It sounds like everyone is doing great--keep going guys!!! :drinker:0 -
thank you0
