    Day 8 completed. Think my energy and enthusiasm for everything is all getting a bit much for my husband who is currently online looking as cycle computers to monitor the lunchtime bike rides he started to do a couple of days after I started the 30DS!

    Got the weights about right - can really feel the burn and am struggling to complete the sets but can just push myself to do it. 2 more days on level 1 and then on to level 2 (where I am expecting to find a new level of pain!)

    p.s forgot to add - lost another pound when I unofficially weighed in this morning. On Monday with officially weigh in and take measurements (I can compare to those taken before 30DS and will report back... that is if I haven't crashed from exhaustion and muscle fatigue after starting level 2!!!)

    Day 7 tonight. While I'm not hobbling around the house, I really felt the effects of Jillian on my run (long run today....10 miles...ouch). Part good, part bad, lol. I could feel some more strength in my muscles, but also fatigue in my back and arms (also a bit in my legs further towards the end). I've never felt fatigue in my back on a run....ever. Something is changing for sure!

    Giving myself until tonight to recover from my run before putting myself through 30DS. :)

    DAY 10 LEVEL 1 completed. Still having to modify push ups and having had a sneak peek at Level 2 while eating breakfast I am not looking forward to tomorrow - I can see a lot of pain and falling flat on the carpet in my future!!! On day 1 I barely managed 60 crunches and today - day 10 - I did 104 and my shoulders actually lift right off the floor!!! No days missed and feeling great!

    Officially weighed in this morning and have lost 2.75 lbs since day 1, plus 1/2 inch off my waist and 3/4 inch off my hips. Amazing results so far which is great motivation to hit Level 2 hard tomorrow.

    Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums. I usually just use my phone to track everything but decided to get on here whenever I have extra time. I first started the shred about a month ago. I hit a plateau when I started level 2, so I stopped for almost 2 weeks. I decided to get back into it about a week ago but I've been doing a different level everyday and I have had much better results!! I've lost 2 lbs. already and can definitely see a difference already. I'm sooo glad I decided to do it this way. It's tough but it keeps your body guessing. I recommend to try it this way after you've finished the 30 days. I hate level 2 but I love level 3 lol. Can't wait to keep up with everyone's progress :)

    Did L2D1 today. I cannot really say that I liked it! I dont think that the moves were that much harder, just odd. I burned about the same amount as I did at the end of level 1, so hope that will continue to go higher as it did in level 1. I really kinda felt like I was confused durning some of the moves and those stupid squat row V things, yuck! I think that 5 lb weights are ok for almost everything but that. My arms seemed to have really toned up during L1 so maybe they will improve even more during L2, Im already looking forward to L3, after day 1 already hating this one!

    I think after I've managed the first 30 days (doing the levels normally), I might try this method of alternating the levels for the next 30 days.

    Day 11: thats day 1 of level 2 completed! My arms struggled to hold me up so some of the exercises I collapsed less than half way into. More practice needed - it can only get better.

    Started the Shred again today.
    I've pretty much got Jillian's little sayings memorized. Oh, Jillian.

    I forgot how much you sweat! Looking forward to being done in 30 days.
    I'm staying 10 days on each level. Although I do enjoy levels 1 and 3 the most, level 2 is awkward at some points.

    I'm upto Day 9 today (2 days of Level 1 left)!! Anyone got any tips for going onto Level 2? What kind of exercises are in it?

    Also does anyone find it annoying in the lunges section when Jillian says 'Just a couple more' and then it's still about 7 or 8 lunges to go!! Lately I've had the sound turn down and blast some music while doing it - makes it more fun!

    I just bought it a couple days ago. I think I'm going to start on Monday. I've used 2 of her other DVDs: No More Trouble Zones and Boost Your Metabolism. They were great.

    Well I finally managed to do the unmodified push-ups today for the first time!!! I could only do a few of them each time (about 5) but so pleased I managed it!
