    I'm on Day 6 Level 1; forgot to take measurements at the beginning but took them this morning; might add in a bit of cardio
  • I hope it's ok to post on this thread since I started mine in Feb. I completed Day 23 today. I haven't missed a day. I've been on Level 3 for a week or so. I have to say that I'm a little frustrated with my results. I thought I could just stick to my normal eating and add the exercise and come out ahead. I was already counting calories and eating better, so I didn't think I needed to follow her meal plan. To make a long story short, I'm not losing weight, in fact I've gained. I'm kind of bummed. :( My clothes still fit fine and I can definitely see changes in my arms, legs and shoulders, but not my tummy (which is what I was really wanting to change...lol).

    But, I am glad that I am doing it even if it's not turning out quite how I planned. I took measurements at the beginning, so I'll know more after Day 30 and see how things changed. I have never been a steady exerciser and this is the longest I've stuck to anything. So that in itself is an accomplishment, I suppose.

    I plan to do the shred again and follow her meal plan and see if I lose weight that way.

    Day 12 D4L2

    I did 30 minutes on the elliptical this morning before doing the workout. Felt good. Had to do punches instead on double jump rope at the end cause of my shins but overall good day! Did all of the moves better then yesterday!!

    Day 14 (Day 4 level 2) done! Wow...level 2 is still hard! lol That being said, last night's workout was amazing! Why? Because we were having a storm and the power flickered long enough to stop my dvd player(twice)...and in the past, I would have used that as an excuse to quit working out... BUT I didn't! Not only did I restart the machine and get it back to where I was, but I did cardio while it was stopped so my heart rate didn't go down. Now that is a change! Yeah! Today's workout was good too, but I have to admit I am struggling with level 2 a little. I am confident it will get better though! Way to go everyone!

    Can I join in here? I am on Level 1 Day 6. I was so busy yesterday I was not able to do it and felt soooooo guilty. I am also doing C25K and wouldn't you know it, I have been having excruciating heel pain. I got new running sneakers last weekend and it hasn't made a difference so I have an appointment with the orthopedic doctor tomorrow. I think it is the impact that is the issue although it is only in one foot. I am sure inserts and an inflammatory will have me back on track. Well at least I hope it is that simple.

    I started my first day today after finding Level 1 on YouTube.

    I've lost 50lbs mostly through cardio exercises, and I realized that my muscle tone is abysmal, so I thought I'd give the 30DS a try.



    Man, my arms are tired.
  • I just started the 30DS today, feels great! I had a question though. How are y'all logging the workout here? I want to be accurate but I don't want to have to break down every exercise and put it in. Help?

    Knee is shredded... I don't think that was the intent of the "Shred" in the title. :-(
    I made it through L2 the first set and half of the next set, modifying most of the moves, but had to admit defeat and turn off the DVD. I don't want to make my injury worse, so I called the DR and might be benched for a while. I hate this!!! I'm thinking I can at least do the ab exercises and the arms, but no squats, lunges, jumping.. basically anything leg. Hopefully a shot of cortizone will have me back in the game soon.
    Best of luck to all of you! I can't wait to see your "After" pics... mine will be up- just maybe a bit delayed :-(

    i have a question.. when ( if ) you take measurements at the half way point , do you do it first thing in the morning or do you wait until after you complete day15 ?
    also wondering if it gets any better because L2 is still kicking my butt !! I will also admit I am kinda nervous about L3 .. thought about skipping ahead just to check it out but didn't . I might not do it if i see it before i have to start it lol

    Forgot the logg on here yesterday....


    Day 13 D5L2

    Had a terrible day yesterday and didnt get to work out till 930pm ugh. Still got in done so I was proud of myself for not saying "oh its to late". Workout when good. I am doing more of the advanced moves everytime I do it. So excited for Monday when I start level 3. Now I just have to get through level 2.

    I also use 2 lbs weights. I have seen changes all over in my body so far just in 13days!!

    I'm only on Day 8 but I thought I'd come join this thread. :)

    I have definitely noticed an improvement! I started with 3lb weights and am now on 5lb for all but two of the exercises. My shoulders are weak like WOAH but getting stronger!

    I'm trying not to weigh during this though. Waiting for the 'big reveal' at the end. Haha.

    Day 14
    D6L2

    Today I felt good after my workout so I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and boy o boy was I ever sweating. Felt good though. My goal is to do it sat and sun I usually take one of those days as a rest day but I want to be done with this at the end of March so that would mean NO more rest days!!
  • day 2 of the workouts and Jillian is kicking my a**....in a good way. my butt cheeks are so sore from all the squats, but i love the workout. only setback is i slept with my arm hanging off the bed so now my elbow hurts like hell. oh well, gotta keep movin
