    Started today too! I've done it before and never been able to keep it going for more than like 10 days. Let's do this!! It felt so great when I was done, and had more energy than I had for a while. I'm tired of carrying 20 extra pounds around with me everywhere I go!

    What are we shredding? Seems like a lot of work if it takes 30 days to shred something......

    I'm starting today too! I did it last summer and had great results, but definitely need friends to stay motivated. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    @shadowfax44 level 2 is awesome!! I can't stand level 1 (probably because I do not alllll the time and never progress) I made it all the way to level 3 once and it was rough! Can't wait to get to it again!!

    This is great! I started yesterday. Question: three levels, 10 days per level? Is that what everyone hopes to follow? Or do you only progress a day of you can do the entire workout?
  • Katie_Y89
    Katie_Y89 Posts: 330 Member
    @staciw its really up to you :) I do 10 days each level and typically don't takena rest day because I use lighter weights (3-5lbs).

    But I am hoping to follow the 10 days per level :)
  • Katie_Y89

    Has anyone decided on weighing themself after each level? I'm thinking of doing that but I don't know if I can wait 10 days lol!!!
  • staciw
    staciw Posts: 58 Member
    That's a great idea. I wont be doing that, because Im in 2 other groups that have weekly weigh-ins, but I do plan to document carefully with measurements so that I can credit it to the shred!
  • Katie_Y89
    Katie_Y89 Posts: 330 Member
    I thought about measurements too but every time I do them I give up on the shred lol!!! Maybe this time I will since we have a small group to motivate each other :)
  • krogers810x

    I weigh daily (I know it's a bad habit, but at least I don't do it multiple times a day anymore, lol!) and plan to do measurements before day 1 and after day 30. It's nice to see a change over thirty days! Last time I took pictures, too, but I am not sure I will this time.

    Are you guys doing any other workouts? I just finished the workout a little while ago and am trying to get the initiative to get off the couch and do the elliptical for 10-15 minutes. Last go, I found it helped to make me feel a little less sore the next day, but I really want to just sit around until I start dinner, lol!

    I did this dvd it's great. I only loss five pounds but I melted the inches away. stick to it and don't give up.

    You ladies keep it up! I am on day 4 of level 3 and has been awesome. I strongly recommend measurements because while I have had some weight loss, the inches have been far more exciting to see.

    @krogers810x I do a Pilates DVD as well but it's only a core workout and lasts 10 minutes. Have been meaning to do the treadmill but always too tired at the end of the night :\ definitely need to start though!!

    Just finished day 8 of level 3! Sorry I'm a little late to the party! It's awesome, when I started level 3 I had to do some of the beginner modifications. But now I can do the entire thing at full difficulty... Except squat jumps. Damn that 5 second breather!!!

    Careful of your knees; knee problems are common with 30 DS:

    Level 1 Day 2 complete!

    A little tougher to do it today while sore from yesterday! But I still noticed some slight improvements.

    I will probably stick with Level 1 until I can do the entire workout, which might take 30 days by itself!

    @Shadowfax44 great job!!

    Take your time with levels, move at your own pace :)

    I couldn't start it last night, kids were in overdrive! Tonight is the night! I'm going to take some measurements so I can see the results :) feel free to add me! :)

    Day 2 - check! Thought my endurance was better today than the first day. Maybe because I knew it would end! Sore for sure - but felt good to push through it. Will hurt tomorrow - I went from big jars of applesauce to 3 lb weights. Def difference!

    Ooooohhh! I want to join this group - just re-started the Shred last night! I am only doing it every second day but I will get there, might just take a little longer! Nice to have a little group to push each other along - I will definitely do measurements tomorrow evening to track progress!
