    Level one of 30 day shred is finished. Start level 2 tomorrow.
    Have just watched it through, looks evil.

    And i've put on 1/2lb :-((
    I'm not DARING to look before I start. I'll wanna put it off too much. I haven't been around a scale yet either. I don't know how but I JUST measured myself and am 1 inch down on my stomach and almost 2 on my hips! WOW :D

    Wow, that is good on the inch loss. I measured myself yesterday and can't really tell. I feel different though. Just keep on trucking and hope that after the 30 days something happens!

    Today's workout went by really fast! I had to laugh though..I was on the floor doing side crunches (one leg crossed, elbow to knee, while the other arm is out to the side). So I was doing those while my son's kitten watched my every move. I had my arm out to the side when I felt a little paw on my hand....he held his paw there until it was time to switch sides. Just a little moral support from the fur-baby :heart:
  • Holy crud! Just finished L2D1 and it definitely kicked my butt! Sooo much harder than level 1 but it was good tough! I think level one was getting too easy so this was a nice change! Looking forward to how I improve in the next 10 days cuz there were a lot of parts I couldn't get the whole way thru!

    Hmm, got to go to London tomorrow so won't be able to do the shred. Do you think I can do it now instead? Already did last day of Level 1 this morning.....
  • I feel totally stupid, I went to Target bought Jillian Michaels SHED, but it is only 2 workouts Level 1 and Level 2, Guess I purchased the wrong one. but I have been working out to it every other day. No wonder I was confused with everyone talking about day 3 and day 4, day 6, Mine is not 30 days,,,,,, have to go back to Target.

    I bought this dvd the beginning of July and did it twice before I went on holidays. I gained 2lbs on said holiday and need to get back on the wagon. I will be starting over again on D1L1 tonight. Am I too far behind everybody to be in this group?

    awww so cute!!!!
    My dog just stares at me in confusion like I'm dying in pain (sometimes I am lol) and comes back often to check if I'm still alive.

    Congrats! I'm interested to see that. I can't believe I've lost almost 2 inches on my waist in 4 days. It seems impossible, but I KNOW I measured right. About to do D5L1.

    i've already started and i was just wondering if beside the dvd, does anyone do any other exercises, or go running? or do you just stick to the dvd?

    I stick to the dvd everyday plus doing other exercises ~~~~~~~~~add some running or squash

    Day 7 Level 1 of 30DS done. Still not feeling ready for Level 2. But definately feel stronger. And I've lost 2lbs since last Saturday.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Still don't want to face my weight now >.<~~~~~~~~I am so afraid of putting on weight ................

    but keeping going on the shred!!

    After a long weekend and some tough non-Shred related workouts (boxing Friday, lifting and zumba saturday, boot camp-like workout Sunday and today completely off) I'll be back for more punishment early tomorrow morning.

    Normally I'm a terrible runner and want to die on my first lap on the track, but I did really well on Sunday. I wonder if the Shred's cardio portion has anything to do with that....

    You guys are doing awesome! This thread moves very quickly! Gotta try and keep up.

    Hi everyone, been a long time since i have posted.

    I am now on Day 12, and moved up to level 2. However i have missed 2 days which i need to make up on.

    Im nearing to the half way mark, but havn't really noticed any changes as of yet. But that maybe because of all the birthday cake i've had recently.

    Good luck to everyone else
  • L2D2 done! Not as hard as yesterday considering I still have this pesky cold but that last circuit kicks me in the butt every time!

    I'm so far off schedule now I'm not sure what to do. I started 7/1/2011 with all good intentions of doing if every day but I've only done it 6 times now. I've been doing other things on the off days - running on the treadmill, yard work, etc... Am I still going to get the same benefit? any benefit? Should I start over on day 1? Or is it ok to do it every other day or so as long as you're doing something else in between?

    Just keep doing level 1 and move to level 2 when you're ready, you'll know. Don't stress too bad about what you've missed.

    I did Level 2 day 1 today after doing 15 days of level 1. It wasn't as bad as I expected but bad enough. I guess we'll see how it goes.

    Ok Shredders, I finally finished 10 days of level 1! Woohoo! Took me 14 days with a rest day here and there and the holiday. Big difference from the beginning. Not much more sore, I can do all the anterior raise now with my 3lbs and even moved up to 8lbs for the bicep curls and back flys. Also, I think I did 3 real push-ups!! I'm not entirely sure because I'm not sure if I'm going down far enough but I'll ask husband to watch some and see if they're real. Either way I've come a long way in 10 days! Not sure yet about measurements, I have not been doing awesome on my cals for the last 4 days or so but we'll see, I probably won't officially measure until I'm done with all levels.

    Even though I've finished level 1 I am not sure about moving to level 2. From everyone's comments it sounds ridiculously hard. Is anyone past Day 5 of level 2 yet? Wondering if it gets easier like it did with level 1.

    Also I got used to turning the TV volume all the way down so I could listen to podcasts instead of Jillian so I guess I have to listen to her at least a couple times so I can learn the moves. Darn.

    Ack, I'm so nervous for level 2!!

    Since day 2 of 30 DS I've been shaving right at 2 mins off my lap time! I'm now running a consistent 11.20-30 mile! I'm sure it'll get even better when it cools off some and I can push myself even harder without worrying about getting over heated. Heat index of over 105 I don't push myself very hard.

    Thanks! It does seem to be getting a little easier - all but the anteiror lifts with th lunges. Those are KILLER! I'll just keep doing Level 1 for a while.

    Just did my first day of Level 2. It was hard but I loved it. I think partly because it was different. Now I have a whole new dialog to learn!!!

    Day 16 done for me! 6th day of level 2. And yes it gets easier as the days go by. But only just!

    16 down, 14 to go. Nice to be past the half way line!!

    Today was D6L1. I am finding it easier to do and can once again walk down stairs and sit on a low seat without feeling like I am going to die or fall over. My hardest time is jumping jacks then jump rope. But what is funny is when we do the 2 minutes of cardio I do it without any problems at all. Guess I will get used to it.

    Oh! I did crank up some music to drown out the talking during the workout and I think that really helped with the workout I did today (most of it anyway). Listening to music has always helped me though. and I do not seem to get bored with it. It helped with making the time we were doing things seem to go by faster instead of just thinking about 25 seconds, 24, 23 22,21...Oh God I'm not sure I can make it to 1. LOL!! So if you have not tried it then you should. You can still watch what they are doing and know when to change without hearing Jullian talk the whole time and showing us that we can barely breath much less talk and work out at the same time. LOL!!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

    D4L1 done. Along with sone weight lifting and some extra cardio on the treadmill. I hope I'm not doing too much, but I'm going to push pretty hard for the next two months and see where I can get. Good luck to everyone!
