    Anyone mind if I post extra measurements?
    I was thinking of doing.

    Bust
    Under bust
    Waist(Narrowest part)
    Stomach(Belly button)
    Hips(widest part)
    Thigh.
    Arm

    I used to do calf and forearm as well so might put those in too.

    Doing it tonight, my boyfriend might do it with me too but he won't be measuring!

    I am really wanting to give 30day Shred a try! I have read so many positive posts and great results! Where did everyone pick up their copy? Just curious....does Wally World have it? Thanks yall and good luck!

    I got mine at Target with a gift card I got for Christmas it was just under $10. I love it and have lost 7 inches without even doing it daily(Only 3 days a week). I'm going to do 6 days a week with this challenge. Walmart has them also.

    I had two $25 gift cards from my best friend and her parents. I got Jillian's 30 Day Shred and her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism plus Bob Harper's Yoga for the Warrior(man is it tough even more so than 30 Day Shred I think) and 2 3 lb hand weights with the gift cards and had about $1.85 or so left.

    you use regular hand weights. Target and Walmart have them for a few bucks each. We don't use the kettlebell on 30 Day Shred.

    RosiG I have been tracking mine as circuit training as well.

    I got my level 1 day 1 in today. I had got up to level 2 earlier this month but went a week of flu/cold virus without doing it so reverted back to level 1.

    Measurements are embarrassing but here goes:
    chest/bust(around at middle of the girls) - 46
    arms - 18
    waist(I measure the largest part of my belly actually) - 47
    hips - 57
    thigh 31

    In the last 2 months these are all ready down from where I started so yes this works even without doing it everyday. :)

    Good Morning all! Just completed Level 1 Day 1. Well, technicallyfor me it was Day 3. I want to let all the new shredders know that JM does not do enough stretching at the end of her workouts. So be sure to add at least 5-10 minutes for additional stretching to avoid pain and cramping later on!

    I want to post my pre-Shred #s so I have something to compare it to later. So as of yesterday:
    CW: 182
    Neck: 13"
    Bust: 40"
    Waist: 41"
    Hips (including pooch): 47.75"
    Right Bicep: 12.5"
    Left Bicep: 12.75"
    Right Thigh: 28.5"
    Left Thigh: 29.5"
    Right Ankle: 10.25"
    Left Ankle: 10.25"

    What Exactly Should You Measure?

    The most common measurements include the circumference of your chest, biceps, waist, hips and thighs. Sometimes the neck, forearm and calf are also measured.

    Chest: Measure around the largest part of your chest.

    Biceps: Measure midway between the top of your shoulder and elbow.

    Waist: Measure at the narrowest point, approximately one inch above your belly button. No cheating! Don't pull in your belly or stick it out. If you bend to the side the crease when bending is your tru waist.

    Hips: Measure your hips around the largest part of your buttocks with your heels together.

    Thigh: Thighs are measured separately. Stand with your legs slightly apart. Measure your upper leg where the circumference is largest.

    Count me in! I was planning on beginning it this week. I have done level one a couple of times and parts of it were pretty tough. However, I have never met a push-up that I got along with in the past...
