30DS Started TODAY 6/23- Join if/when you want.

I missed Sunday (which would have been my day 4) but I spent all day at the NYC pride parade so I burned a bunch of calories walking and dancing.

Monday was my 4th day, not bad. Today is day 5 and I plan on doing it twice -- I already went before work and I'll do it again when I get home.

My boyfriend says he sees a difference in my torso/waist, but I don't ... not yet!

I've thought about doing it twice, but wondering if it'll do me in for the next day?!

I haven't been checking in, but I have done the workouts almost every day. I missed Saturday, though. Oh well, I'm not going to be hard on myself...after all, I am pregnant!! : D That and when I did 30 day shred the first time around, I took a few "rest days" here and there and I always felt like I could give it more on the days after the rest days. Oh, and someone had asked about doing it twice in a day...I occasionally did 2 levels in one day. It's a lot, but I felt like I got a good workout in. Didn't affect me too much the next day, either. Not any different from when I just do 1 level.

Keep up the good work everyone!

L1 day 5 done! Wasn't as bad today and didn't sweat as much, felt ok enough to carry on with some zumba after.

My tummy looks smaller, don't know if it's down to the shred as am also doing other bits but it all helps eh?!

Day 7 done!!! On to day 8 today!!! WOOO HOOOO!!

::::::::Happy dance::::::

I am seeing a difference in how my clothes fit too, by the way

Just finished level 1, day 7. No sign of any change to the wobbly belly yet. :ohwell:

Level 1, day 4 done. A bit more difficult this time. May have to eat my previous words (hope they are low calorie).

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hope today is easier for you x

Thanks! But day 5 in yesterdays UK heat was a killer! Did you do it?

Yes, day 4 for me yestesterday and day 5 today. Both done.

When its hot I either do it first thing in the mornings (on days I'm not in work) or later on in the evening when its cooled down a bit.
Even so, I was a sweaty mess by the end of it!

I'm always a sweaty mess by the end of it! LOL

Done with Day 7. Yay, me!

I'm debating whether or not to move on to level 2 after completing 10 days at level 1 or waiting to move on to level 2 til I can do level 1 without having to stop for a few seconds of rest here and there during it. Any thoughts?

I think Jillian says to move on to the next level when you're ready, i'm sure level 2 will be harder so probably best to do what suits your ability. You never know in 3 days time you might be able to do it without rests!

Level 1, day 8 done. Finding it quite difficult at the moment, possibly because I'm doing it after other exercise. Wobbly belly still there, no difference in the mirror or on the scales, but I have lost half an inch from my both waist and hips.

hi, I m in my 2 doay today but I would like to join u too ! what happens is that I m all sore and in pain and would be great to encourage and get encouragement along the way since this is sooo tough ! ...

L1 day 7 done and also a bit of L2....wanted to do a bit more so had a peek, scarey mary!!!

Ladies, to stop you aching as much do some more stretches as what is on the dvd is nowhere near enough.

L1 day 8 done.

Didn't realise you were supposed to tense your muscles the whole time whilst doing crunches, I kept releasing with each breath.

L1D7 done and I followed it with Leslie Sansones walk away the lbs 3 miles Abs. This was a great follow up because while the intensity was less I still burn a siilar amount of cals/min.

Day 1 of level 2 done (which is my day 11). This is getting confusing. :laugh:

Certainly had to wipe the sweat from my brow afterwards.

Hi

I also started on June 23 or was it the 24th? but have had 3 days off (one forgiveable as had a funeral and a birthday party on the same day, both exhausting) the other two because I attended a 4 day musical festival and was simply too lazy after staying up past 3am

but day 8 is today, so I would liek to join along if not too late

I find that my abs are getting stronger but shoulder presses are still difficult - I snuck a peak at level 2- um definitel still doing the modified version and might just have to modify it further!

I just started today .... I'm not sure how to add it to my exercise diary though. Can anybody help with that? I'm on LEVEL 1. Thanks so much!
