    Hi everyone,
    I absolutely love the 30 day shred ! I know this may sound crazy =)...
    Today would have been day 10 on level 1 for me but I felt level 1 was getting to easy and i needed a challenge ! So i decided I would go to level 2 a day early and do level 2 an extra day. I noticed after the 4th to 5th day i wasnt nearly as sore and level 1 was getting easier but stll effective, the first 6 day I lost almost 2 inches !! I just completed day 1 of level 2 today it was challenging but in a good way ! I am doing the shred to tone up a bit b4 valnetines day, ( I am currently a size 4 and thats how i knew i lost almost 2 inches becuase my 4's fit but after starting the shred they were getting looser ) Also I have done the shred everyday since starting but i know that may not work for everyone just the way i was doing it =) My reward for completing level 1 is a new hairstyle/cut, for level 2 a new workout outfit and once level 3 is complete a new bikini and these things help me keep motivated !! Keep up the great work everyone, happy shredding !!!!
    (Something else i do is b4 my wrkout i take a bottle of water add a packet of crystal light into it and put it into the freezer for a slushy drink, definetly yummy ! )

    I did Day 1 Level 1 one day last week and couldn't hardly walk for two days...it was torture. I did it again once my body stopped hurting and I got through it with no pain the next day. I haven't done it again though. I have been doing my own cardio/strength/abs on my own lately - I'm sure I won't get the results that Jillian can give though.

    I'm on day 4 and I've gotten to the point that I'm excited to do it the next day and love every minute of it. Crazy. I haven't looked at level 2 yet, so that could all change, haha!

    No so sure if its a good idea to do 30-day shred every day for a month, particularly if you're not used to that kind of vigorous training. Especially for many women who have notoriously weak knees and joints, I feel like weight training every single day (even if it is light weights-all of it still adds up quickly) cannot be good in the long run. What do you guys think?

    Personally, I bought one of her other DVDs and am trying to use it every other day, around 3X a week (combined with cardio and yoga on other days, of course).

    I completely agree, working out when sore actually makes the soreness go away for a while with me. I just finished day two and my arms are killing me. ouch... But it is so worth it!

    I started the 30 day shred last week and did it for three days in a row. I stopped from Friday-Tuesday which was a really bad idea, but started again today. It feels like it is much easier now, and I've decided I want to incorporate more into my workout so I can lose the weight.

    I am going to try some Zumba for the first time tomorrow after the 30 day shre, probably not the full hour of Zumba, since I am sure it will take a lot out of me.

    As for diet, it varies by the day. Today I had a bowl of special k with strawberries and a cheese stick for a snack, tonight I will probably eat some rice and sliced summer sausage. Some nights I make nice meals, such as a low calorie chicken parmesan. Other days I will cut back on carbs, but mostly I just try to eat a lot less calories throughout the day and drink lots of water. I've also been trying to drink green tea more often as it is very good for you, and raises metabolism.

    I started it in Nov and did it for a good week or so. Then I fell off the wagon. The 1st couple of days HURT. But it's such a great pain, you know it's working. I am doing it after work tonight and hope to get a full 30 days in. I'm getting married in 5 months and HAVE to get something done so I can find a dress :sad:
