    This is perfect- I am starting today and was coming on here to see if anyone had more information on it. I'm so glad we can all do this together! I have it free on OnDemand so I don't have the DVDs and I was wondering- do you know how long we should be doing each one? Should we divide the month up equally- aka workout 1 for 10 days then workout 2 for 10 and so on.. to equal the 30 days? Or do you move on through the program once you feel you are ready for the next step up? Also- does anyone know how many calories you burn during it? I'd like to log it on here!

    I'm about to go do it for the first time! Can't wait!
    I think we figured that we would be doing 10 days of each level. That way, for me at least, I won't get too bored of doing one level for so long. I have been logging it as circuit training and one person who has used a heart rate monitor said that it's pretty close to the calories it has listed for circuit training. Have you done it before?

    Okay good to know, thank you!
    (I'm brand new to the website so I just realized how to look through it all and saw that you had already said that- sorry for asking again!- I also realized you started Wednesday so I'll be 2 days late!)

    I tried to do it yesterday but didn't think it was something I would be interested in and after about 5 minutes I switched to another OnDemand option, but afterwards I researched it and realized it was exactly what I was looking for! So today will be the real first day :) Thank you so much for starting this message - it will be so helpful to do it with other people!

    I finished Day 5 Level one last night...my weekly weigh in was this morning and I was down 0.4 LBS. It's a small loss but a loss nonetheless! My thighs do feel more muscular and my calves grew an inch....13 inches to 14 inches.

    Did day 2 yesterday. I am still a little sore today, but not as bad as yesterday was. I can't believe how weak I am. Especially during the pushups! I can only crank out like 15 each time (girl pushups of course). Hopefully by day 10 I will be able to do around 20 for 30 second set.

    How heavy are the weights you guys are using? I'm using 5lb dumbells.

    I'm a little late to the party but I just bought 30DS yesterday and I'm ready to start it tonight. Having to check in with others will help keep me accountable to doing it every day! I'm a single SAHM to an almost 4 year old during the day and then WAHM at night (usually up until about 1am working), so my schedule leaves little room for good workouts but I can certainly find 20 minutes somewhere in there, right?!?!

    The one thing I've seen in other posts about 30DS is that you might not lose much weight but you should definitely lose inches. I'm going to take my measurements tonight (ack- not sure I want to really know!) so I can track those losses even if the scale doesn't do much.

    Looking forward to it! Well, maybe not looking forward to the start, but definitely looking forward to the end result. :)

    I'm also using 5 lb dumbells. I'm with you on the strength part! I thought I was stronger than I am lol. The side lunges are killer for me. I can't make it the full time on those.

    Everyone still going strong? I have to admit, I missed 2 days this week. I have to say though, I can tell a big difference from the first day. I can do 20 (girl) pushups each set now. I am also using 8lb weights for most of the exercises. I am not going to miss anymore days! And the scale actually went down this morning!! Only one pound, but better than going up like it has been.
    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    I'm still going! I love this workout! I missed Saturday, but I knew all along that I would have to miss that day since I was out of town. But I wasn't planning missing yesterday-I was extremely exhausted and worn out and didn't think I would get a good workout in so unfortunately I skipped yesterday too. I'm starting level 2 today! I am up to 18 pushups in each set too although the second set is much harder after doing the weight lifting-my arms are really weak! Great job on the weightloss! I too have been going down but haven't logged it because I'm waiting until the end of the 30 days.

    I miss Level One!!! Planks are hard but I was very proud of myself for getting through the whole workout last night where some exercises I was able to keep up with Natalie.

    I'm glad we all have the support and accountability to get through the 30 days. I may even start over after I'm done.

    Hiya.
    Started 30 day shred yesterday.
    Just finished day 2... Is it normal to be even more shaky today than yesterday?
    Going to keep it up though and I know I've only just started but i thought I'd join in with this thread if thats ok. :D

    Once you get past the first couple of days for each level you'll feel better. I'm starting all over again.
