November - 30 Day Shred Challenge!!

Mine had no sight 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 :-)

Good Morning Everyone. Hope you are all having a great morning and are ready to do the shred. I am not sure when we post our measurements but since I am just starting I thought I would post today. I am also posting my previous measurements from the 30 day shred I did a few weeks ago but was only on level 2 day 4, but I did lose inches.

Measurements September 30, 2011
Weight: 150 lbs
Waist: 42 inches
Hips: 39 inches
Bust: 39 inches

L1D2
Weight: 140 lbs
Waist: 37 inches
Hips: 37 inches
Bust: 38 inches

Completed L1D5 today! I tried to follow Natalie, but she killed me on some of the stuff.

I did day 3 on Friday. Saturday I did Zumba and I had a rest day yesterday. I'm on for Zumba tonight. My goal is to do 30 day shred in the morning and Zumba in the evenings. I just need to work on getting out of bed in enough time in the morning. I'll keep you posted.

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 came with a link to her website to pay for the eating plan. I think. I remember it wanting my cc info to sign up for something.

Thanks I've always wondered. It took a lot to just find a copy of it. I am now trying to buy a second copy for my daughter and thats impossible so far. I am also trying to track down Leslie Sansone DVD's but no luck. Think i will have to buy over the internet.

So glad its not just "my" arms. I went to zumba last night and reallt struggled. Not sure if my body is just tired from JM30DS or it was a hot humid night and I may have over heated. I had to stop half way during the last routine. I was dizzy and the instructor was blurry. All good now except for the sore throat I have. hope I'm not coming down with something I have big exercise plans for this month.

Can I join late? I have done the 30 Daay shred as part of my work out reoutine last year (I lost 25 LBS last year and gained it all bacl plus some in 2011), but I have yet to do it EVERY day for 30 straight days. I need to do it though, if I don't put myself through the ringer before the holidays, I will lose ALL motivation and momentum.

I will start Level 1 Day 1 today, I think I will do 10 days on each level. What is everyone else's plan?

I will post EVERY day when I am done with my workout. I am in CA, so I should be posting every evening. Good Luck, Y'all!!

started day 1 level 1 today. feel free to add me!

Welcome newbies......

I have a problem today as I work away and share a house. Last night was fine 'cause I was there on my own, but tonight, my boss is coming to stay so I'm not going to be able to do the shred.

Thinking about trying 1 x L1 and 1 x L2 tomorrow as the L1 is feeling like its not challenging me anymore (except for the push ups which I still cant do properly).

What does everyone else think, has anyone else done 2 sessions in one go?

I say go for it if you don't feel like L1 is doing anything for you anymore. I thought about doing L1 twice a day since I'm no longer sore but my arms could use the extra strength training.

L1D3 done today. I don't know why but today was a little hard to do. I added 3 lb weights so my arms are really feeling it. I found when I first started this I had to upper arm strength at all but it is getting better as I do each day. Glad to see everyone is doing good.

L1D5 completed!!! Things are most definitely easier.. Keep it up ladies we can push through this together.. Everyone is doing great!!!

Well did 6 days of 30 DS (has some breaks and combined with P90X and bike) and started lv 2 today. It really worked me hard and I love the planks! I wasnt feeling at all challanged by lv1 as I think all my other workouts made it seem easier compared. But I really worked out today! Loved it and cant wait for tomorow

Did Level 2 today for the first time. I'm on day 13 and it felt pretty good. I did have to take a couple of breaks but did pretty well. I had wrist surgery last year and so the plank jacks had me a bit worried, but I was careful and it seemed fine.

Looking forward to hitting that 2 week mark tomorrow, feeling good, wishing it would translate to the scale. I am probably putting too much empasis on the darn scale, but I can't help it . . .

have a great Wednesday everyone!

Level 1 Day 10. Whew now for level 2. Although I might take a days rest. I have an extremely sore left arm /shoulder. Think its from housework. Darn it. I will use linament and see how it goes. Hopefully fine in a day or so. I had to modify today but was determined to do DAY 10. I did jumping jacks with one arm, and used lighter weights and did it all a bit slower and carefully.

Wow some of you found Level 1 too easy. I can't wait till I'm that fit and strong. Although I managed it better this time around it is all still challenging and a good work out for me.

Those of you who may not be finding it quite so easy. Stick with it. We will get there. The first time I did this I did level 1 for the 30 days. I tried level 2 and knew I was not ready for it.

Listen to your body and work to your level. Well done to everyone.
