    I just started the 30 day shred today! It killed me. I chewed Jillian out, in between breaths. Every time I sit down and get up, I can still feel it.

    I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow, because I don't have any place to work out other than the living room and I live in an apartment with 2 other people. I guess I'll have to do it at night, but Sunday... I am not sure (Super Bowl party).

    I have never really stuck to a program, and I have a hard time cooking "light." Does anyone have any tips on cooking light, that a family would like?

    how do you log the 30 DS in your exercise diary?? I just did L1 D1 today ... and I want to make sure I log it the right way, but not sure what to put it under

    I saw that someone had logged it as general circuit training. I did the same. Hopefully that works. If not, someone enlighten us, please! :)

    I've been doing it for 9 days straight! I haven't had any issues. I have found in the past if I take a day off I lose all motivation.

    Completed day 6 level one yesterday. Day 7 today :) Keep up the good work everyone!

    How are logging it in your diary?? I've just started and when I logged it, it said I had only burned like 92 calories. Figured it HAS to be more!!!

    I feel like I'm always finding excuses. I wanted to start 30 ds today but work got crazy and I went to mcdonalds for lunch so I feel like working out tonight is a waste.

    Its definitely not a waste, never a waste to workout :) my friend convinced me to not take the day off from 30ds so she and her daughter are gonna do it with me and I'm gonna give my body healing time from hiit :)

    Finished day 4 of level 1 earlier this afternoon. Less sore thankfully! Checked the scale-it ain't budgin'. Those measurements better be different come Monday!!!! :grumble:

    If you really pushed yourself, your body is probably just tired. :) Drink a lot of water & take it easy. If your calorie allowance is still there, maybe grab a banana to help with soreness because believe me...it might be rough for the next 2ish days. :)

    I finished D4 L1 last night, surprisingly (except for those darn lunges) it is getting easier! Keep pushing through everyone!

    Finished day 11 of level 2. I'm taking a full 2 weeks for this one. If you think lunges are bad wait until planks (level 2).

    I did Day 9 of Level 1 last night and did the first set of those straight lifts/side lunges with 5lb weights and the second set with 3 lb weights. I think I'm going to continue Level 1 until I can master both with 5 lb weights and keeping proper form. I can tell SOOOOO much difference in my endurance levels from Day 1 until now!

    Hi everyone! I think I'll be starting this tonight or tomorrow morning - but I'm pretty nervous! Should I just expect to be sore all the time for the next 30 days?

    Any advice for a first timer would be much appreciated. :happy:

    I was really sore for the first three days or so and then it was just an occasional twinge. I feel that it helped me to walk at a moderate pace afterwards so that I didn't stiffen up quite so much. I would also stretch more than she does at the end of the workout. Good luck!

    i'll be doing day 4 level one tonight... i had a rough calorie day today... stressful day at work and i allowed myself some not good for me (but delicious) treats.... so i'm a little saddened that i let that happen, but i will do 30ds tonight and hopefully that will make me feel better about things...

    keep up the great work everyone.

    I get home from class this evening, I'll be on day 10 of level 1. I didn't measure until Day 6, but have lost 1.5 inches since then. :)

    Anyone who wants to add me, go for it. I'm planning on finishing this thing until the end! (and then it's c25k after that) :O I even got my boyfriend to do it too, and he's already at like 10% body fat... but I can defintely see his abs starting to poke through, and he's only on day 5 or so. That's motivation for me FOR SURE, so no way I'm giving up. :)

    I plan on taking a break day in between levels. Maybe. :bigsmile:

    I did Level One Day Two today, and also p90X3 - The Challenge because I ate way too much today. I'm not too hungry when I'm on my period but the few days after I am ravenous!

    Hey Amanda! I'm Tamala (sounds like Pamela) and I definitely know how you feel. I got caught up with holiday travel and work and parenting and fell off for a bit. But today is a new day, a new month, and a new beginning for me to work towards my goal of being healthy and fit. Let's encourage and support each other!

    Thank you! I'll definitely incorporate more stretching. I did day 1 this morning. Super hard! But I feel pretty energized. =)
