    Hey everyone!

    I completed Level 1 Day 1 just now! I got up at 8:30am today and went for a quick warm up jog (22 minutes) and then I completed the first day of level one. The air punches got to me.. my legs were just going up in flames! I was sweating buckets that I had to keep wiping my brow before I drowned in my own sweat! The one exercise ( I forgot what it's called) but its in the strength circuit where you have both hand weights and hold it up to eye level and down and you do like side lunges? Yeah, I couldn't do that with both my 5lb hand weights so I switched to using just one for right now.

    I have a love/hate thing going for the no rests.. I love how thats kinda the secret to seeing results, but I also hate it because it does feel like I'm dying! hahah!

    I took some advil before I started my morning, so maybe that will help with the pain? I'm not sure what to expect because I don't feel that sore yet, but I could be jinxing myself!

    Here are my starting measurements and I'll post them again for my progress and results, but I'll post them now so people who are just about starting can see what I measured. I know I measured a lot of different places, but I want to be sure I had everything covered.

    Day 1: 6/13/11
    Weight: 152.7
    Natural Waist (above Belly Button) – 31
    Inch below Belly Button – 39
    (I have a HUGE kangaroo patch of fat just gathering under my belly button, so I sure hope that it will burn off!)
    Hips – 39
    R Thigh – 25
    L Thigh – 25
    Bust – 35.5
    L Arm – 12
    R Arm – 11
    Neck - 12.5

    L1D1 done - whew! I did a squat/lunge-heavy workout yesterday, and started C25K today too, so my legs are super sore...we'll see how that works out ;-) I plan to take a nice walk later to help ease soreness. 30DS/C25K starting stats below...will perhaps post pictures towards the end of 30DS (which I'll finish just a few days before vacay, yay!).

    Day 1 (6/13):

    Weight: 146 lbs.
    Bust: 38"
    Waist: 30.5"

    L1D1 Done! My legs are absolutely jello!! I really hope I can survive tomorrow. Maybe I can get in a brisk walk before tomorrow's workout to hopefully ease some of the soreness. That felt pretty brutal. I'm excited to see how I feel after day 7. Hopefully I'll feel an improvement. Took my Day 1 picture so I can hopefully SEE progress from week to week and not get discouraged.

    6/13/11:
    Weight: 143.8
    Bust: 36"
    Waist: 32"
    Low waist: 38"
    Hips: 39"
    Thighs: 25"

    I'm a newbie too! I've just been using the MFP to track my meals for the 17 Day Diet and haven't really posted in the boards.
    I've decided to start the 30 Day Shred tonight after work. Do any of you guys do additional workouts with this?? In the past, I did several days of the Shred and know it kicks your butt....so I wouldn't want to do any more cardio or strength training stuff. I was thinking about doing yoga also, just to stretch the muscles a bit.

    natural waist 32.5"
    around navel 35.5"

    So.... I've just put my daughter to bed, I'm going to quickly tidy the house and then stick the DVD on. Mega nervous about how hard it's going to be!

    I'm really not in the mood for it, I've had a tough day at work, eaten like a pig and my daughter is cutting two teeth and has been draining me all afternoon, but I'm determined to grin and bear it.

    Hopefully I'll be back on in an hour or so to tell you how I found it!

    Hey everyone, I'm new here and would love to join this thread! I was planning on starting the 30DS today also. I just dug it out of storage, I think the most I've ever done is 3 days in a row! :S

    Oh my god! I can barely hold my iPhone up to write this!!

    I'm so exhausted, although it wasn't *quite* as horrible as I thought it would be. Those side lunges with dumbbell raises are pure EVIL

    Well done to everyone who's shredded today :flowerforyou:

    Day 1 - Done and i have to say although i felt like i was dying during it wasnt as hard as i thought (i think i had convinced myself i wouldnt be able to complete it at all)

    But i am definitely going to have to invest in a sports bra and some weights instead of the tin cans of food i used today.

    Any fellow shredders feel free to add me :smile:

    YES! They killed me! and I was using 5lb weights for them - keep in mind I have limp noodles for arms! OUCH!

    I'm starting to feel it when I climb the stairs! YIKES!
