    I am on level 1, I just did day 6 today, I did not measure myself before I started this, but I did measure myself yesterday

    43 in waste
    37 in chest
    24 in thigh
    14 in caf
    12.5 in arm
    45 in hips
    15 in neck

    I started in when I started this weighing 185 I'm at 179 right now.

    I have noticed my mommy pooch I thought I'd never lose is shrinking. I can see a huge difference already in just 6 days.

    Yes I was very sore the first day, I'm still sore today, but its more in my legs then upper body. My upper body is sore but not like my legs. However I do a lot of leg exercises, and do more then just the 30 day shred.

    Thanks for the welcome :). I had a friend who watched a preview and read a review on the 30 Day shred and she told me that there is no way she could do it. Honestly, 3 months ago I would have said the same thing, but my response to that is, 3 months ago I didn't want to do it. I wrote a blog post about this today :).

    I just finished Day 1...Please tell me that it'll get easier. I had to keep stopping to catch my breath and super modify the moves.

    I just put a hold on the DVD at the library. It's coming from another town so it might be a couple of days, but I'm psyched to get into, too! Good to hear that you are all getting a lot out of it just a couple days into it! =o)

    Hi, I'd like to join :)

    I've actually attempted 30DS more times than I can count now lol... I never go past level 1. I either get bored, or have to take too many days off for one reason or another and get discouraged. I'm determined to finish all 3 levels by the end of December though. So... I'll be starting tomorrow! I'm only going to spend a week on level 1 though so I don't risk boredom, since I've done that one so many times already. haha

    I just finished Day 1...Please tell me that it'll get easier. I had to keep stopping to catch my breath and super modify the moves.

    By day 3 I did not need to take any more breaks. I'm not saying it'll be that fast or that slow for you. It just depends. Today when I did it, I found that I had to stop to get some water, they don't do water breaks like zumba does LOL. But other then that I have found the motivation to push myself. What I do to keep going and pushing through it is I keep saying "It's only 20 minutes a day, that's not long you can push through the pain for 20 minutes." and that is usually enough to help. Also when I really struggle to even get started, I go back to a thread where people were showing the out come of their bodies before and after photo's which helps as well. I seen a girl with the exact body type as mine and seen the out come for her and I'm determine to shred. Good luck and hope it won't be long for you to push through it.

    While yes it gets boring and Jillian's voice starts to get annoying, I tune it out (her voice) and keep going. 30 day's isn't really that long, and as long as my body is burning, then it can't be that boring :)

    I'm gonna do it :) Did it early this year, loved it, but eventually fell off the wagon of exercising and never finished it. I've been pretty consistent so far, and wanna be my best for Christmas :) Seeing some people after years, and I am SICK. and TIRED. of those sloth comments :P Starting it tomorrow, hopefully the scale will budge!

    Count me in! :)

    I just finished day 2 of level 1 and my upper body and abs were definitely sore today! I have to modify some of the jumping cardio moves since I live in an upstairs apt and have minor knee problems. Otherwise I seem to be making it through okay except for those darn pushups! My goal is to go 30 days straight.

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Hi Rosiebug,
    I find the push ups tough too. But, we won't get any better unless we practice right? Glad you could join us :)

    Just completed Day 1, Level 1. It was hard, but I am hoping it will get easier. I tried to do this last year and it was REALLY hard. I think I am a lot stronger than I was before, so hopefully that will help with the endurance.

    It's great to read everyone's experiences so far!

    Day 3, Level 1: I don't know about you guys, but I am READY for a CHANGE!! Woke up today...still sore, but I am taking that as a sign that Jillian is working me good. I just completed Day 3. It seemed to go by a little faster than previous days, which is a good thing. My left knee is a little tender, but I am hoping it strengthens with the rest of me. No stopping now, I need this. Day 4 tomorrow :D

    Well I've survived Day 2! Whoop! Can really feel my tummy muscles and also feel it in my calfs this evening. I've added a few of you as friends from this group, hope u don't mind. I must have been a bit click happy because MFP told me I couldn't add anyone else after 5 requests in ten mins! Lol!

    Bought some actual hand weights today, I used Evian water bottles yesterday but I couldnt grip them very well doing the side lunges, MUCH better with real weights.

    Good luck everyone with Day 3.

    I think it's great if you guys add one another. The more cohesive the group, the better we can support one another. Congrats on completing Day 2! I bet the real weights will give you a better work out now too :)

    Level 1, Day 1. I wasn't as winded as I used to be when doing this, but I think I'll attribute that to having done some Turbo Jam beforehand (causing me to slack off) instead of me being in better shape. I decided to do push ups against a wall instead, and that worked out pretty well so I'll stick to that. My arms are definitely going to be sore tomorrow lol

    Just finished Day 3! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do it because I've been a bit under the weather today, but I made myself find the energy to do it! It seems to be getting easier little by little and I'm not as sore now (other than abs).

    Good work everyone! Keep on shreddin'! :)
