I agree on the sports bra... faced my mirrored fireplace and it was a scary sight!!!
L1D1 done. It's suprising how each level is difficult even though you were doing good on the previous level. I have been doing level three on my days off this past week and felt good about it. Then level one tonight took it out of me. I am using the weight during all my cardio as I only have 2lbs and I ENJOY using them during jumping jacks. Is this the first sign that exercising can be enjoyable?!?!
29 more days to go for me. I will get behind as I go on a hike each week and most likely will not do Shred on those days.0 -
L1D2 Update:
By the time I went to bed last night I was starting to feel a little sore (especially abs and shoulders), but woke up this morning feeling great! Tonights workout was better...I made it through the 1st circuit without stopping but still had to alternate with and without weights, and did modified pushups.
Maybe it seems easier because I know what to expect...fear of the unknown is always the worst!!

L1D2 went well followed it with a 2 mile walk (leslie sansone dvd) .... Feeling SORE this morning though, I woke up tried to get Day 3 and was tooooo sore so I will be squeezing it in tonight. Really hoping this week the scale will go down more than .4 .6 like I have been seeing. Keep up the great work ladies!0

OMG'sh I was so sore all day yesterday after doing L1D1 on Monday, I really felt it in my calves and my abs! I worked through the pain and did L1D2 last night and today I am not as sore...my calves and abs still hurt but not as much.....but like they say no pain no gain....This video is amazing! I am so excited to see the results!
You guys are all so modivating....Thank You0 -
L1D4
Calves and knees are a little sore, but not too bad. I plan to get 3lb weights this week.
Be careful if your knees are sore! I felt like that when I was on level 3 the last time I did shred, ended up hurting my knee and couldnt finish level 3 ... hopefully doesn't happen this time arounds.
I figured it out! For day 3 & 4 I didn't wear shoes, so they were really sore after yesterday's workout. Bad idea. My knees feel fine today, but my calves still hurt. So today I wore shoes again and already feel much better.
L1D5 - Half-way through Level 1!! :happy: Wasn't really feeling it today, but I got through it. Happy hump day!0 -

Always always wear sneakers, I know a lot of people that really screwed up their knees that way. A good workout sneaker only worn for exercise is a really great investment. I have 2 pairs both nike that are only worn for working out. It helped me out so much before them I had a lot of ankle pain.0 -
Did D2L1 yesterday and it felt great. Here are my measurements...I hadn't posted them before:
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 136.8 lbs
Arms: 10"
Bust: 35"
Waist: 30"
Hips: 38"
Thighs: 22"
I think that is all? Going to do Day 3 tonight and also get a swim in...really wanting to lose these last 10 lbs before shorts weather but that is coming up quickly!0 -
L1D2 finished this morning before I left on a 12 hour drive to pick up my brother unlawful for spring break. Oh the joy of having a 16 year old in my house for a week.
It was tough getting up and doing it first thing. Makes me me rethink my idea of getting up early and doing it before work. I hate mornings.0 -
L1D3 Update:
I was feeling pretty good today, a little stiff but nothing too bad...until I started the strength training in Circuit 1! Holy heck my arms and shoulders are BURNING! I'm also really feeling it in the top front of my legs. But, I managed to do a few more with the weights (as opposed to without).0 -

my arms were hurting bad today too... I've been wearing weighted gloves during my Leslie Sansone walks and didn't think it was going to make me so sore. My arms don't feel sore when I wake up, but circuit 1 I was like omg my shoulders are killing me!0 -
L1D3 complete! Today was a crazy day, had so much to do... starting with an Interview at 10am this morning which was an hour away (luckily the actual job would only be about 20 minutes away tho) but then I had a lot of running around to do today and had to sleep since I'm working overnight shift tonight.
Well I just finished my workouts and ouch I am sore. My legs feel like lead today! I've been doing Leslie Sansone walking dvds for the past 2 weeks, just about every night. Usually I do the 5 mile fat burning walk... all 5 miles. Sometimes I do it 2x or I do a 3 mile dvd I have. Well the past couple of days I've been doing the walks with weighted gloves.... didn't realize how sore I was until tonight when I started 30DS! ouch! I was babysitting for a friend so I brought the dvd over with me. Well I forgot the sports bra! So of course I had to modify the cardio a bit, jumping jacks and jump rope just wasnt working out too well without a sports bra lol
I did the push-ups on the wall instead of the floor cause it was killer on my knees and I'm still not too good at the regular push-ups. I actually felt it more in my shoulders from doing it on the wall. But I didn't really have to modify anything else. After 30DS I did 1.5 miles of the 5 mile fat burner walk... time to get ready for work so couldn't do the whole thing, but dont think my body would have made it anyway. My legs feel like lead today!0 -
Well on my own schedule, today was my actual weigh-in day and I seemed to have gained a pound according to one of my scales... according to another scale I gained 2.5! Nothing in my diet has changed. So I'm going to just say I gained 1 and hope for the best. At the end of my 10 days, I'll weigh in again and share my progress. Something's gotta give! 4 more days till I'm finished with Level 1!
L1D6 - Complete0 -
Well D3L1 behind me, the soreness is starting to go away can really feel it in my calves. Didnt get my extra cardio in last night so tonight I will be doing D4L1 and 4 miles of Leslie Sansone 5 Mile DVD. Fridays are my weigh in/off day.
I would like to share this quote from Ripped in 30 ....
Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity!- Jillian Michaels
So true ladies, transformation will happen over time but in order to get there we need to work for it as hard as we can today.0 -
Ok, Yesterday was d7l1 and today i decided to try out L2 and I will be going back to L1 tomorrow
I will post measurements on Monday . But I am pretty sure I have lost some weight, I just feel it lol
Going to get lighter weights today so I can do the arm stuff with better form.0 -
L1D3 completed. Shoulders and thighs are sore. Don't remember this from last round. Wonder if I did something hiking to make my thighs hurt. My arms are all from using weights this round, last round I was not consistent with the weights.
To go along with ttv2004
No great achievement is possible without persistent work.
Love that quote!0 -
Finished L1D4 yesterday plus did a 3 mile walk. Scale was up today but I think its muscle gain ... taking a rest day and will do my weigh in tmr instead. My goal is to do Jillian 4 to 5 times a week so I will see if I can squeeze a 5th day at some point this weekend. I am hoping to do it on Saturday so I can rest Sunday and start Level 2 Monday. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend 0

L1D4 & D5 Update:
Totally not feeling it like last night but forced myself to do it anyways (small victory)! But, I won't lie...I didn't use any weights and was kind of just going through the motions.
But, today I woke early up feeling proud of myself, took the dog on a 2.5 mile walk in rough terrain, came home and did day 5! Much better getting it out of the way early! lol. Even though I'm out of town for the next couple of days I have the workout on my iPhone and will be sticking to it - the ultimate test! :bigsmile: 0 -

That is the ultimate test. Good luck!!! Just think of how good its going to feel to get those 20 minutes out of the way each day then enjoying the rest of the day.
L1D4 and D5 done. Tonight I did it but my heart was not in it. Rough day at work and I was dog tired. Tomorrow my husband wants to go out to dinner after I get off work. Not sure if I will beable to fit in the DVD. The restaurant that he want to go to there is no "healthy" dishs, my favoriet is fried mac and cheese balls Mmmmm. So miss DVD and eat a horrible dinner or let my husband and his brother go out by them selfs and I do DVD and eat healthy?? We will see, if my day isanything like today, it will be a touch choice.0 -
I got really discouraged because I gained another pound....... so I took a two day break. I'm hoping to do the workout twice today and twice tomorrow to make up for it. We'll see how that goes. I already did it once this morning and slacked so bad... two days off made a huge difference in my endurance. But I'm going to try my best to stick this through. Hopefully I'm not fatter than I was at the end than I was when we started lol.
Anyway. So far, L1D7 complete.0 -

What happened? What was the outcome??!?!?:huh:
L1D6. I went over calories yesterday, but did manage to get in the workout! Since I didn't take my weights with me, I used to water bottles (16 oz each).0 -
Hey Shredders! Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days.. been sooo busy & the blackberry app doesn't have the threads on there.... really wish it did! Anyway I missed D4 so I did D4 & D5 on the same day to make up for it (if that counts) then yesterday was D6 but I wasn't able to get to it cause I was setting up for my aunts baby shower then we went over a friends w/ everyone for drinks after (and I was totally bad and had pizza!!) But anyway I did D6 today so tomorrow will be D7 for me.... I'm not as sore today luckily. I weighed in yesterday and lost about 2 lbs which was nice to see... but for some reason I don't feel like I'm losing the inches, feel like the muscles are getting bigger so thinking the inches will be bigger... not sure though.
Almost done level 1 & so glad to see yall are still sticking with it!!! Keep Shredding!!!0 -

don't get too discouraged.. this actually happened to me the first time I did 30DS the first level I gained a few pounds.... assuming that it was muscle cause a few of us gained a few pounds in the Shred group I was in that time. But after starting level 2 we quickly dropped the weight. So don't be discouraged, you are probably gaining muscle. Just stick with it and drink plenty of water!0 -

I'm going to try to stick it through, at LEAST for another week before I take a hammer to it lol. I gained yet another pound... so that's 3 pounds in 8 days. I hope level 2 makes it drop off for me like it did for you, because so far I feel like this whole thing has been counterproductive.
L1D8 - Complete.0 -
I ended up going out to eat. My body was tired and a few coworkers wanted to go as well. First time in a while I went over my calories, even though I was good and ordered a salad. Wish I would have asked for the salad dressing on the side though. I hate how restaurants pour on the dressing, I like a little dressing with my salad not the other way around. Salad was good but way over powered with dressing.
Back at it tonight, waiting for my friend to be able to come over and do DVD. Until then I'm just laying on couch as this is my one day off. Just finished 4 on and will do 3 starting tomorrow. 12 hour days are ok but when you group them so close its tiring.
"I got really discouraged because I gained another pound....... so I took a two day break."
Keep at it. Make sure you take measurements. I hear that is where you see the most differance when doing Jullians DVDs. Also not sure if you weigh everyday but don't. Weigh weekly you body holds on to fluid depending on what you eat. That is most likely what you are seeing when the scale changes everyday when doing daily weights.0 -
Missed my first day of week 2 ... hurt my back this weekend lifting something way to heavy so I just did some cardio tonight. Will be doing Week 2 day 1 tmr 0
-
I started on 3/27, most people don't start on a Sunday so I hope it's OK I am posting in here
I did level 1 for 5 days, took a day off, now am doing level 1 for 5 more days. Today was day 8 out of 9 days, I intend to keep going and try not to take but maybe another day off between level 1 and 2, then another between level 2 and 3, so I'll have 30 days in probably 33 days, something like that.
I feel good that I've stuck with it. I've not checked my weight... I started here on MFP just this past Wednesday so I may check my weight then or just every 2 weeks.0 -
way behind on my workouts...oofda0
-
So today was L1D8 for me. Some of it is def easier, but I dont think I'll ever like push-ups or bicycle crunches. I'm def ready for level 2! But 2 more days of this and then I'll post my results. According to my scale I'm losing but according to the scale at my gyno I've gained... not really sure. But we'll see in 2 days if I have any results... my legs feel so heavy they are definitely becoming more muscle but I'm worried they'll be bigger not smaller0

Welcome Achoooo!
L1D7 done. My knees hurt not sure why. Have shin splints but thats because I am actualy doing the Jump Rope this go around. I hope that I can keep it up. Little discouraging that this past week I only lost .5 lbs and thats weighing in on Tuesday. Normally I weigh in on Friday but was changing to Monday for another thred challenge. Thats even with my 12hour trip and having to eat out all day except breakfast and staying under my calories that day. Discouraging!
