    So I haven't lost a lot, but I'm noticing I'm getting stronger for sure. Plus I've been over on my calorie goal a lot this week. Hopefully that will change now!

    Weight: 145 lb(-1)
    Waist: 35.5" (no change)
    Hips: 37.75" (-0.5)

    Great job everyone, keep it up! And for everyone scared to go to level 2, you'll be fine! It's harder, but you'll be amazed how much stronger you are than you think!

    I just did my week one measurements. I couldn't be happier! I haven't lost any weight, but I lost inches!

    SW-196.4- 196.0
    Muffin top waist 42-41! I lost an inch in a week!!

    Also, I have never worked out 7 days straight. I will work out 3 or 4 (sometimes even 2) and take a rest day. I think this is good to push me. I don't know if I will keep it up past June, but it's good to know I can. Here's hoping I can finish the whole month!

    You can absolutely do it!
    We're all going through the same thing with this workout, it's tough, but we're here to support eachother!
    You're nearly a 3rd of the way through already!!

    Great loss btw, an inch in a week is pretty impressive!

    So glad I found this thread. I just did day 1 level 1 last night and was struggling to get thru and so sore this morning. Even though I have been walking fairly consistent last couple weeks I guess I don't use those mussles quite the same as the DVD :laugh:

    I have done this dvd before and actually liked level 2 better than 1 but never got to 3. I feel so much better knowing that others have struggled on their first couple days and even again later on and ended up sore. I was afraid it was only me.

    Thank you all for your comments and honesty. I feel more excited to do day 2 tonight!

    Well despite going on vacation I am still down .5lbs! So weight 183.5. Not bad considering. Can definitely tell a difference in my endurance. Not sure I am ready for Stage 2 on Saturday though!! :) Good luck everyone!

    ME TOO! Just finished Day2 level 1 last night. I have done this before also-- never completed it though. I always like level 2 better but never made it to level 3. Glad we are in this together!! :)

    About to do day 8 - Day 2 Level 2 in a couple of hours when I put my son down for his nap.. but here are my measurements that have changed:

    bust 40 - 38 = 2 inches lost
    waist 34 - 32 = 2 inches lost
    right arm 12 - 11.5 = .5 inches lost
    left arm 12-11= 1 inch lost
    waist at belly button 36 1/4 - 35.5 = 3/4 inch lost

    total of 6 1/4 inches lost!!!!!! Is this possible - I kept thinking I was reading the tape wrong lol! I remeasured several times!

    day 8 - day 2 level 2 done. I almost didnt make it this go round!

    Just finshed Day 8. I started with Level 1 today and did Level 3 right afterwards. Won't be doing that again!! LOL

    I thought level 1 was going to be super easy because I have been doing level 2 and 3 for the last month. I thought wrong. It works different muscles I guess and still as difficult as ever.

    I weighed in at 134.2 this morning. I was 137 last Wednesday but pretty much binged out on food the night before so these almost 3 lbs are probably not real pounds. If that makes sense. Haha

    Off to measure..

    Chest - 34.5 (STS)
    Hips - 39.5 (-.5)
    Thighs - 22.5 (STS)
    Arms - 11 (STS)
    Waist (Large) - 37 (-.5)
    Waist (Small) - 29 (.5)

    Total loss after 1 week = 1.5"

    I am actually very surprised. The whole month of May I have been doing this (without diet mind you) and did not lose an inch. Now if I can start losing something off of my thighs I will be really happy!!!

    I took a rest day on Sunday, since I am doing other workouts over lunch (sometimes including some strength stuff), and am down 1.5 pounds. I won't take measurements until the end, but this thread is really pushing me to do it everyday. I even did the 30 day shred last night at 10, because that is when I finally had time to get to it!

    I started on June 1 but was so sore from the first workout, that I had to take a few days off! I broke my elbow over the winter and the anterior raises in Level 1 really got me good. Had to rest my gimpy arm. But after a deep tissue massage, I now have two more workouts under my belt. The second one was tough after a week off but the third one this morning was less tough. Might try one more at Level 1 and then move on.

    I have to say I love Jillian's no-nonsense attitude, though it does kinda weird me out when she calls the girls "buddy".

    I assume most people here are doing other workouts in addition to the Shred? I do spin workouts at my gym and also do an additional weight workout a couple of days a week. I also cycle in the summer and log about 30-60 miles each weekend. My goal is to lose 5 more pounds by June 22, when I take off for the Greek islands!

    Best of luck to all of you. Stay strong!

    Day 8 level 1 done! I know that I have seen a difference but I wanted some hard evidence so I weighed in today and checked a few of my measurements. Here goes:

    weight 201.4 (-2.6 lbs)
    each bicep 13.75 (-0.75)
    waist-belly button- 38.5 (-1)
    hips- 44.5 (-1)
    each upper thigh 27.5 (-0.5)

    I have to say that this is definitively giving me some motivation! I was surprised by my arms, I didn't expect to lose from them so fast. I have also done some additional cardio on the side 2x on elliptical and a little walking this week as well as sticking to my calorie allowance.

    Day 6 done today... Should have been day 8 but missed 2 days due to sinusitis... Felt so ill and my balance was all over the place. Sooo ready for level 2, think I'm gonna do level 1 twice over the next 2 days to make up for the 2 I missed. Even managed to have a conversation with my hubby whilst doing it tonight, next challenge please!

    BTW I have promised myself not to get on the scales or get the tape measure out til the end of the 30 days (think that's the hardest part so far!)

    I am about to do Day 9, but before I do:

    I lost 1.8 lbs, but didn't lose any inches, though a few people have commented on me looking more toned. I hope I see better results as I continue!

    Just weighed in, lost 1.8 lbs since day 2 of the shred! I am about to start day 10 (and the last day for me at level 1). I am getting kind of bored with it, so hopefully level 2 will keep me interested in it!

    Day 9 done one more day at this level

    Ok well I gained a pound went from 173 to 174, but I dont think that I am having enough of Fiber and that is the issue.

    waist 37 (no lose)
    hips 39 (no lose)
    left leg 21 3/4 ( a little under but cant make out reading)
    Baby flab C-section area 40 ( no lose)
    left arm 11 3/4 (1/4 inch loss)

    Next week I think I need to add in my other leg and arm.
    I was able to do 38 push ups and when I started I could barley do 10.
    Over all even though I havent really loss anything in this past week, I can feel my tummy muscles through my tummy and I have a biceps and more definition in my arms, and my legs are looking better. Cant wait till the morning. Good luck all:)

    after looking at my food the past 2 weeks, I found that my fiber was way down. I uped it to double yeasterday and lost the pound I gained pluss an extra one. YAH
    On anouther note have to do the shred tonight, bad storms were rolling through this morning.
