    I JUST finished it right now!
    L1 D1: DONE!!!

    The first circuit I was hating life.
    The second circuit I was feeling the burn.
    The third circuit....I was flying home!!

    29 more days to go!!

    Ok, so to keep me going, I would take one phrase that Jillian said, and have that as a mantra in my mind for the whole workout. Today it was: "Don't Phone It In!" and "You don't get THIS for FREE!"

    Share everyone!! Let's GO!!

    LOL...I did!! Wahoo! Love it. :bigsmile:

    What is everyones favorite portion..the cardio, abs, or strength?? I have to say abs for myself, since that is the area I need the most help with : )

    good idea @HealthierMama for making a separate ticker for the Shred. good motivator!

    @TakeOne: I actually like the Abs portion, to be honest....it gives my knees a rest...and I get to lie down and catch my breath a little! LOL

    Can someone tell me how to log Jillian in as part of my excersize? I just can't seem to figure out how. Thanks in advance good luck gjspiller! I do Jillian every few days, not everyday ( I found I gain weight when I do Jillian everyday) but I do love the 30 day shred!

    @ThresaGlass: yeah, i plan on doing it 5 days out of the week just because my body needs variety. i am still adding at least 30-40 minutes of additional cardio to it, though.

    @sweebum: i hate the jumping jacks, too!!!!!! but i tell myself it's only 30 seconds...ugh...i'm sure it'll get easier.

    Just saw this post today - I actually woke up this morning and "Shredded" at level 2 (I did Level 1 over the weekend). I will probably bounce around on the levels so I don't get bored. I also do Zumba on Monday and Thursday evenings to "supplement".

    YAY!!! I participated in a 30 day Shred challenge last year on MFP and LOVED it. I will post my measurements, weight, etc. tomorrow!!!

    Happy Shredding!!!

    I'm doing the 30DS every other day. Wii Gold's Gym Cardio Workout when I'm not doing 30DS.

    Keep it up everyone!

    I Bought the last one off the shelf at our wal-mart on the 28th, I snached that thing off the shelf so fast! Did my frist day shred on the 1st and also did one today. Oh I also go to the gym 4 days out the week and do 30mins on either the treadmill, elliptical,or stair stepper. and do 30-40mins of weight training, so not sure if that matters or not, but was just looking to track my progress.
    3/1/11 30DS: 195lbs
    Arms:14
    Chest:40 1/2
    Waist:38 1/2
    Hips:45 1/2
    Thighs:26

    L1, D2

    I just finished the Shred right now. On Tue and Wed I walk 5k with my work buds, so I got hm, ate dinner, and then just worked out again.

    The 2nd day went quicker. Although I couldn't complete those dang bicycle abs! Hate those! I can't til I finish a set without dying.

    I'm doing additional supplement cardio, too. I'm gonna change off with walking outside (5k), treadmill walk/jog, Zumba and Just Dance2. I have the Wii Biggest Loser Challenge, but as u can see, with the Shred, won't have time for that until I get in the groove with the Shred.

    My goal is to do @ least 60 min/day, 6 days a week.

    In the words of Jillian, PUSH!!!

    @TakeOne: Good job pushing through! I know what you mean! I had a long day at work (very stressful and negative), had a long 3.2 mile walk with my colleagues, long commute home...came home STARVING...LOL...and then, worked out to the Shred. At least it's only 20 min. long! Way to go!

    @momandwife: Welcome! I get bored easily too, and I LOVE Zumba. It's nice to know that you had success with the 30 Day Shred!

    @HealthierMama: I didn't know Gold's Gym had a Wii game!

    @AlmondBliss: Welcome! Thanks for joining. Let's lose some weight together!

    @ Everyone else: Please post and don't give up. Push yourself!

    Just finished L1D6. Shin splints are pretty bad, so I hopped on the elliptical and went 6.5 mph for 2 mins :happy:

    How's everyone else doing?

    Hey Everyone, I just saw this thread and did my first day of the 30DS and it totally kicked my butt!! I noticed that people are all at different stages so I hope its alright if i jump in a bit late :flowerforyou: I am currently training for a triathlon this summer but due to the current weather i'm stuck inside for at least another month and i'm getting some serious shin splints from the treadmill. So i thought i would switch it up with this DVD. I have heard wonderful things about it and i am hoping this group will help me stick with it :wink:

    Feel free to friend me

    Here are my measurements
    SW: 168.5 lbs
    Neck: 13.5 in
    Right Arm: 13 in
    Left Arm: 13 in
    Waist: 33.5 in
