    Just a question for all of you - do you usually combine the 30DS with other exercises? Has anyone gotten results with just doing the 30 DS and eating clean?

    I'm currently on Level 1 as well. I've started the 30 DS many times but never finished it. I'm determined that this time it's gonna be IT.

    I am just at the beginning of 30 day shred. I have been combining it with 2 miles on the treadmill.

    Day 3, level 2 done. I'm shaking like a leaf again, I stay nauseous for about an hour after the workout. I did gain about 5 pounds in the first week (I increased my calorie intake to accommodate my bar/tdee) but I've lost it all plus 2 inches off my waist and 1/2 inch off my hips and I'm only on day 13 of working out. I can't wait to see the difference once all 30 days are done!

    I'm seeing results already and I'm only doing 30DS, no other exercise with it. I'm not on a specific "clean eating" diet but I am eating no processed foods, no white sugar (only agave once in a while), whole wheat, lots of fruit and veggies and mostly lean protein.

    It's going to be different for everyone, becaues of weight and intensity.

    I just started level 3 yesterday! I started the 30DS July 17 and have only missed two sundays which is huge for me. I have never completed the DVD, last summer I made it 21 days then went on a cruise and never started back. I've recently put on close to 15 lbs and must get it off and then get to my goal weight. I've lost 9 lbs since the end of June when I changed my eating habits. I have been discouraged lately but taking before, during, and after photos along with measurements is a sure way to keep me motivated! Good luck everyone. Also any suggestions for which DVD I should start next? I plan on mixing in 6 week 6 pack, I was also thinking about her kickbox fastfix if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

    Yesterday was my last day of Level 1. It really gets easier as you progress through the days with the first level. I already know the next exercises since they were ingrained in my head. With the results of Level 1 - I have lost:

    Thighs - 1 inch
    Waist - 1/4 inch
    Bust - 1/4 inch
    Arms - 1 inch

    pounds lost 4lbs not too shabby. I'm looking forward to Level 2 today! Wish me luck!

    Finished level 2. I'm a day behind schedule. Had to take a day off because injured wrist, and the walk in pushups were quite difficult.

    Anyway, Level 3 tomorrow.

    No weight loss.

    Couple more inches loss

    I done my first day yesterday and yes almost died, but I didn't die, getting hyped up to go onto day 2, my shoulders hurt as do my butt cheeks, so somethings working right. I filmed my first day and plan on filming at day 11 and day 21 and finally 30, more for myself, so I can see a difference not just in appearance but in the way I move...hopefully

    I love this video! She rocks! My son (who is in the air force and home on leave) will be joining me today. I am curious what he thinks of it since he is in great shape. My soccer player daughter has been doing it too and is left very sore. LOL I use five pound weights but have been weight lifting for a while. Should be interesting to hear his thoughts on it. I will report back if anyone is interested.

    Like so many others this was level 2 day 1 for me as well. I was very, very sweaty afterwards... granted it is kinda muggy where I am at the moment.

    I am having a hard time getting into proper form esp on planks, making sure everything is tucked and tight where it should be, especially when I am out of breath lol. In level 1 I spent the first couple of days getting to know the moves (and just getting through them) and then focusing on form and keeping my core engaged and tight. I thought that that would be my plan of attack for this level as well. My worry is that the reasons that planks are so effective is the core engagement, so if you are doing work with improper form you might not be seeing any results? Any thoughts on what to do? Gah!!

    I'm now on Day 6 (level 1) I managed to damage my ankle with the dreaded jumping jacks, Would it be ok to substitute them for jogging on spot and extra butt kicks?

    Finished Day 8, Level 2 last night and It was really difficult to complete. Difficult because I'm just exhausted, I am taking tonight off so that my body can rest. 7 days a week are too much for me, but thats just me.

    Hi,
    Am on day 10 of level 2.
    Whilst I am enjoying 30DS, I'm not really seeing much difference. I've lost 1/2" from the waist and 1/2" from one thigh (so they are a bit more even now!). Going to stick with level 2 for a bit longer - much as I hate some of the exercises, I don't think I'm ready for level 3 yet.

    Level 3, day 2. Level 3 is definitely harder.
