    I will! I bought it but have to get a new DVD player so that will be perfect timing. And I will take off 1 day a week and do the extra cardio too :) How heavy of weights are you going to use? I am going to use 5LBS because I am kind of a weakling. Haha.



    5 lb weights will probably be too much to start. Jillian only uses 3 lb weights. I am currently doing the 30DS, I will be on Day 2 of Level 3 tomorrow. I only use 4 lb weights and this is my second time around. Next time I may up to 5 lbs.

    I tried 30 day shred and didnt get past day 8! I used 3lb weights and that was plenty. I noticed that I felt a little bit more toned,but no weight loss. I suggest adding extra cardio,even if it is 15-20 minutes. Good Luck!

    My day off will probably change depending on what I have going on. It will probably fall during the week on mornings I don't want to get up extra early before class and work. :laugh:

    I would like to join as well! This will be my second time doing 30 Day Shred but it has definitely been a while since I've done it. I think I will start with 3 lbs weights for the first few days, then move up to 5 lb. GET READY FOR SOME PAIN! I remember not being able to walk and my arms feeling like they were going to fall off for the first few days haha.

    I'm on day 2 of the Shred, found it ok. I'm with OP in that I'm getting frustrated the scale isn't moving but I'll stick with it, allowing some rest days when I need it too. I was using 8lb weights but found it too hard on a few things so I think I'll go pick up some 5s.

    I'm starting on Monday! I still have to figure out what to use instead of the weights... would a bottle of water be ok?

    I started last night. I can inmagine once I drop my weight it will become a lot easier. I thgink the thing I struggle with most is not having a chance to catch my breath, I tend to hold my breath when I'm concentrating!! Also I have a twist in my spine and endless back problems, I am so, so rubbish as the crunches I seem to relax my attempts as I cant seem to manage to struggle through the pain!

    Day 3 level 1 today and i am doing the advanced version. I expected it to be harder, so i am doing it 2 times a day (morning and evening) + pilates.

    I had problems with the side squats, because my arms and shoulders really hurt when you had to hold up the weights. Now i only use 1 weight and hold it up with both arms so that i can do all the repetitions. slowly getting stronger :)

    I just joined myfitnesspal and I also started the 30 Day Shred on Monday.....I actually did a few days of Level 1 last week and then started Level 2 this week and decided to do the 30 Day Challenge. I looked for the group, but didn't see it....

    Going down to do Day 3 of Level 2! I'm planning to do 10 days of Level 2, 10 days of Level 3, and then I am going to rotate between the 3 for the last 10 days. Also going to try to get in 3 days of cardio a week.
