    I just finished the first day and wow, I am a lot more weak than I thought I was! I'm using 5lb weights which might be part of the problem, but I really want to build that muscle!

    Is anyone using a HRM? I forgot to put mine on today. I'm curious to find out how many calories are burned during this.

    morning everyone.. day one for most of us.. can't wait for everyone in my house to get up and out of my way so i can try it out.. are we going to stay on this thread to keep track of each other or will there be another? i dont want to loose contact with everyone and want to see how everyone is doing..

    for everyone who did measurements... did you do them yourself or have someone do them for you? i can have my husband do them before i start today but i'm a bit embarrassed.. i also have to find a way to take pictures too :( thats the worst part..

    anyhow...good luck today everyone!

    I kind of like the idea of the month-long thread. My first round of 30DS, there were a bunch of people at the begining and then they all dropped like flies. It was only me and 2 others by the end. I need all the support I can get! :tongue:

    Just did a 3 mile run followed by level 1. It felt really good and a lot easier doing it when I am really warmed up :) Am starting to train for a half marathon doing 3 runs a week but will keep doing shred twice a week for strength training. I will post when I do level 2!

    About 300-330 calories for me. But I think the more overweight you are the more you burn. Because I've seen a lot of ppl more fit than me losing about 100-200

    I burnt 252, the same amount that was given for "circuit training, generally" under exercise here.

    I just got back from Walmart with my copy of the dvd!!!! I'm so excited to do this! I usually do the elliptical for an hour but I think this will be fun to mix it up!

    Just did th first day. It hard but not terribly hard as some ppl say. I like how it's put in little segments.

    Also I need to buy hrm.

    Didn't sweat thru the workout but am now afterwards. And I also did it outside in the shade. It's 92 out here in ny.

    Will get measuring tape to check I out.

    I just wanted to stop in and encourage everyone here.... I'm on day 21 of the 30 DS, only 9 to go! One thing's for sure, if you stick with it and push yourselves, you WILL see results! I've lost several inches from my bust and my hips! I've also dropped from 25% body fat to 18.5%! I have FAR more energy now than I did when I started this journey! You can do it too! ...and honestly, I did TWO levels back to back several days ago just for "fun"! There's NO WAY I would have done that several weeks ago!

    Go Shredders!

    By the way, DON'T give up those first few days because you're sore. YOU WILL BE! Push through it and by day 4-5 that pain will be history. You can do this!

    Oh man, just completed my first day and I am more sore than I thought imaginable! Will definitely take some time to build up more stamina but I am happy that I completed it~

    This is a great idea, well done to all of those who have finished their first day! I finished day 1 (level 1) about an hour ago, wow it was great! During I felt like i wanted to DIE, but afterwards I was very proud of myself and I'm actually just about to go and run on the elliptical for 20 minutes... Big mistake? We shall see haha. Then its a nice hot bath for me, I can tell those muscles are gunna be sore tomorrow :)

    I'm going to do it when I get home from work. I'm so excited!! I really need to lose some inches, especially around my hips and thighs. I took my measurements over the weekend, but my camera was messing up, so didn't get pics. But the tape measure should tell the tale :wink:

    I'm in! I did it about a year and a half ago and it really helped shrink that weird armpit fat. I'm interested to see what results I get now that I've made it through Insanity, P90x and a 5k!

    I just finished day one. Wow did I get my butt kicked!!! I can't believe how much I sweated! At first my kids were laughing saying how easy it was but when I asked them to join me, they dropped like flies! LOL! I took measurements and I am going to take some pictures as soon as I can figure out what to wear! I can't imagine how I am going to feel tomorrow! :noway:
