    hi guys, sorry if this is a stupid question.. but i started the 30 day shred last night and i measured myself in the morning. what i wanted to know is, when i measure, for example, my hips, do i pull the tape to as far as it can go (33inches) or to the point where my flesh doesn't bulge over (35inches)? i want to be accurate in my measurements but wasn't sure which one to refer to once the 30 days are up. any help would be great, thank you :)
    I like to measure around the fat, so that would be the 35 in for you. that way I can accurately see how much fat is lost. does htat make sense?

    I'm in as well - starting tomorrow morning. I tried to start last week but had a few sick kids and have gotten completely thrown off track. I need someone or a plan to hold me accountable. Only about 2 more months until swimsuit season here in Illinois!

    Hi everyone. I just started the 30 DS on Monday but I did a lot of reading up on it through the forums on here and also on the internet. Although it does say 30 Days in the title, JM did mention that that was a marketing gimmick and you should move on at your own pace, so don't give up!
    She also said that she recommends doing the Shred two days, one cardio day, Shred another two days, another cardio day and then a rest day. I think it works better when it comes to losing both weight and inches rather than mostly inches like the results I've seen on MFP.
    I've been doing Zumba since January so when I started the Shred Level 1 it wasn't that bad. Right when you feel like you want to give up she moves on to the next move. Now I do the Shred and Pilates Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri and cardio (Zumba and walking) Wednesday and Saturday, Sunday a rest day.
    I did notice a 1lbs increase after the first two days even though I stick to 1200 calories. But after my cardio day yesterday I was actually down 2lbs this morning. I think the cardio definitely helps balance things out.
    Also, most people suggest to log the Shred as circuit training. Good Luck to everyone, hope to see some great results!!

    I'm on day 4, started it last Sunday and did it again on mon, wed & today. I needed the breaks in between as I'm very unfit!
    It's hard but slowly it starts getting more manageable:-)
    Keep at it!!:-):D

    Just saw this on another thread so copied it to here - I was planning on doing it every day where possible - now I'm not so sure....

    "I just thought I would throw this out there since its hard to find if you dont know what your doing and there are so many out there that do things a different way (30 days straight which i am not against BUT...)

    Jillian had a question in a podcast about how often to do it and her answer was...
    2 days of 30DS one day cardio 2 days of 30 DS and one cardio then a rest day. She said the name was more so what her marketing people came up with since each level is meant to be 10 days (just not 10 straight) thats marketing for you!
    Not saying not to do 30 days straight if you want but she was very adamant about how important it is to have a rest day. Just thought I'd let you all know :-) "

    I'm also on day 5 and I didn't do it yesterday either... though I did do some elliptical... I was also thinking about doing it twice today if not then maybe just do some elleptical after the 3DS ... The soreness is really going away now... so I think my body is getting used to the exercise... I was also thinking of adding a little jogging on the days that I don't do elleptical... hmm

    I'm in - I don't think I will be able to do it in 30 days but nevertheless.
    Be happy to new friends :)

    I saw this too and it makes sense. I've just completed the Level 1 work-out for the first time and I'm wondering what my body will be like tomorrow. I've never felt so exhausted!
    I have Davina's High Energy Five DVD (which I love) I may do that on days when my body is too worn out for Jillian.
