    I started this last Thursday (7/28) Today is day 7 for me. I moved up to Level 2 yesterday and it was tough. Hope I can stick with this.

    Hi guys! I started the challenge by myself on August 1, and just found this group. I've done Days 1 & 2 at Level 1, and to be honest, I was dying at the beginning but like you said there's a rush that kicks in and takes me through the end, and I feel great at the end. Great, and like jelly, but still great :)

    I'd love to have some buddies checking in on me... if you add me, let me know you're doing the 30DS August Challenge too.

    I am litterally sitting here with sweat pouring off of me. I just finished day 4, level 1. It may look easy to watch but not so while working it! Trust me! I am not new to exercising and this DVD can be challenging. With that said, I am enjoying it alot and I hope you will too. Good luck! Oh and take some before and afters for yourselves. You don't need to post them but you will be surprised in the end.

    I did D1L1 last night & I'm feeling it a little today. But that's a good thing!! My 2 1/2 year old was trying to do it with me. This morning she asked if we could play exercising again & started showing me some moves from it. lol Hopefully that's all the motivation I need. Here's my measurements:
    Waist 33 1/2
    Bust 38
    Hips 41
    Bicep 12
    Thigh 23
    Weight 153

    Just finished D2 L1-- and feel a little more jittery than I did yesterday! Of course, I did a 2 mile interval walk BEFORE I did it ( as a warm up), so I'm pretty much done for the day. I don't mean exercise either.. DONE. Lets hope this passes!!:sick:

    Hey Shredders! Hope you're all feeling great today! I don't feel sore from last night's Shredding but I'm sure I'll feel it later, haha! Especially from all those dang pushups.... :noway:

    This is how I feel today... :yawn:

    Ughhh I really wasn't feeling it today! I pushed through anyway but 'phoned it in' (as Jillian often says on her DVDs) on the side lunge/shoulder raise move, couldn't keep my arms straight up to eye level the whole time. Still quite sore on my quads too so the squats weren't very fun. Oh well, level 1, day 3 done at least!

    Level 1, day 3 done!!! :) ahhh my legs are feeling it more now! =(

    Tonight i thought id try something different - as ive not got any dumbells yet, i thought i would wear my 2.0lbs ankle weights!! I strapped them on before the workout and they stayed on all the way thro it! :) i know my legs are going to hurt tomorrow because of the extra weight on them. But it will be worth it!

    Keeep up the good work everyone!! Im excited for day 4 tomorrow :D

    L1D3 complete! Still doing girly push ups, and I HATE jumping jacks, but I definitely think I did better today. I also wasn't nearly as sore this morning as I was yesterday.

    Just finished L1D4, I'm not hurting nearly as bad today!! Except for the jumping, my calves HATE that! At least I'm not nearly falling down the stairs anymore hehe :D

    Just finished L1D3 earlier! My arms felt a lot stronger during push ups, and my legs did in lunges too. :) My calves were hurting today though, but hopefully they'll just get stronger too!

    Good job everyone!

    Finished L1D2 & my abs & calves are killing me, but it's a good feeling! I'm pushing through, but it's hard for me to finish some of the moves. I can't stand push ups & my knees hurt even though I'm using a mat. I'm also having trouble doing all the reps of the arm exercises. I'm thinking it may be because I started with 3lb weights & maybe should've started with 2. I figured from lifting a 32lb toddler 3lb would be no problem. Lol Everyone have a great night! I typed this on my phone, so sorry if there's any typos. I think I caught them all.
