    Got my third day done last night. Arms are the thing that's hurting the most. Seriously thinking about one day break and just doing cardio. We'll see.......should just work through the arm thing. First circuit is the worst for me.

    Day 4 today of level 1. Il do in after posting this. My arm muscles are agony yesterday I oculdnt flex my arm at all I had to have it straight or else I was in so much pain! Iv just got some wrist weights and Im going to use those instead of dumbells as Im not used to weights. There 1kg but Im a weakling so cant do heavier yet. On monday my partner is starting P90X and I thought about putting some of the cardio workout from that into my routine as well.
    Hopefully the wrist weights are easier then dumbells on my arms.

    Level 1 Day 4. Feeling good still. Certainly gives me a good workout and I feel I am doing the pushups a bit better this time.

    L1D3 complete. Some was harder (push ups, stupid squat shoulder press thingys), some easier (cardio - yay, cardio). I did it earlier in the day as planned and think that was far better than doing it after supper. Feeling the stirrings of a love/hate relationship with Jillian.
    Interested to see how tomorrow feels.

    L1D3 complete! I didn't feel like collapsing at the end for the first time so that must be a good sign! Keep up the good work everyone!

    Sorry I have not posted in this thread for a few days but I still want in. Ever since losing my electricity for 5 days from a bad snowstorm I am having a real hard time getting motivated again. I made a promise to myself to get back on track on Monday so I will be starting L1. I have done the 30 day shred about a week and a half ago and was on level 2 so I figured starting back on level 1 would get me going again. Glad to see you all motivated and I am happy to be in a group that is motivated and active.

    Hello everybody my name is lily and I am too doing the Jillian michaels 30 day shred :)
    I started the 1st of November taking Sundays off. I was 195 down to 175, so I am ready for some real workouts. The first 3 days I was doing the video 2 times a day back to back with 5 pound weights, but I was advised to start off small, 3 pound weights. Days 4 and 5 I will do with no weights and Monday I will be back on track with my 3 pounders. I am 5'6 with a pear shaped body and looking to go down to 140 pounds. The first 20 pounds I lost by walking about 4 to 5 times a week at the track. I was advised to also walk before I do the Jillian michaels 30 day shred. Starting Monday I will power walk at the track for 1hr and 40 minutes and complete my 2 hours of working out with 20 minutes of 30ds. I will be working out 6 days out of the week for 4 weeks, while staying at or less than 1200 calories a day. Hoping to lose 15 pounds by dec 4. Good luck fitness pals!!!!

    DAY 5 LEVEL 1 Done and dusted.

    Was not the wisest choice to do it after 2 hours of work in the garden, so it was a bit tougher but I got through and did a 13 min walk with leslie sansone on utube. I sort of had a major calorie binge today so have tried to work it off.

    I've heard of alot of people having an initial gain the first few days of the shred. A combination of muscle gain and the muscles retaining water. Keep it up!

    L1D3 done! It's getting easier! Although those lunges with the front arm raise things get me at the end. Is anybody else going to try to follow Natalie at the 5 day mark if you aren't already?

    L1D4 done. Had to take a couple days break. Have a thigh muscle that is not too happy. But tonight it seemed a lot better. Congratulations to everyone that is still sticking with it!

    L1D5 done today! Stupidly, I went for a very brisk 90 min walk just prior to shredding. Next time I will reverse the order :ohwell:
    Still, there is improvement.

    Question... When you girls bought your copy of 30 DS did it come with a eating/diet guide. Jillian mentions about following her eating plan or something like that. My DVD had nothing with it here in Australia. So I was just wondering about that???

    Mine had no mention of the diet - I'm guessing you are supposed to pay more money for that!

    L1D3 completed and it's harder than I though, but progressing well. I'm still not liking the pressups though! I can nearly do it all at the top level so I'm really pleased with my progress from day 1 as I could barely do the beginners level.

    It's really hard work and I ache, especially in my arms, but I feel so good afterwards.

    Keep up the good work guys :-)
