    Someone posted on the success boards about a group that's started in the last couple of days - might be worth checking it out?!?

    I completed day 22 today - I log it as circuit training which seems to be what most people advise. By the end of day 10 (end of level 1) I'd lost 12 inches and 3 pounds and by the end of day 20 (so once I'd finished level 2) I'd lost 7 lbs and 20.25 inches including 3 off both my waist and hips and 5 around my belly button - the changes in inches are unbelievable. I'm sure you'll have awesome success with it.

    Level 3 I am finding hard but I am sooo excited to see the final results on this - good luck xxx

    I am starting it today, if I can get off my butt to push play and actually do it, or tomorrow. I'm just unsure how to actually do it. One poster said 10 days straight through for each level with no rest, another said to rest 1 day a week, and yet another said 2 days of the shred, 1 day of cardio, 2 days of the shred, 1 of cardio and rest on the 7th. It's confusing to me maybe i'm making something very simple very complicated.

    Day 2 for me today, and boy am I sore :0)
    I plan on doing 2days 30DS, one day cardio. Apparently that is how it is meant to be done according to a podcast that JM did. It was in a previous post somewhere here on MFP. It sounds good to me any way!
    Good luck all!

    I am just doing it straight - to be fair I'm not really doing much else - a zumba class once since I started and some very gentle walking at weekends with my family. Do it however it fits in with your lifestyle and whichever way means you'll stick to it - I vary between getting up and doing it at 6am before the children wake up and doing it whilst they are eating their tea - good luck x

    It's exercise. However you do it will work for you. The basic guidelines are to do it 5-6 days a week.

    Take a look at a calendar. Pick a day to start and count off ten days. Complete each level within that 10 days. Try to do it 5-6 times within the first 7 days of that period taking 1-2 rest days. Then keep doing the same for each week. You'll change your level as needed.

    I get my 3 oldest kids out the door, get breakfast, get my 4 yr old settled into a project and then get to my work out by 7:30 or 8. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can help keep each other accountable! :happy: (I have a feeling I am going to need something to help keep me going on this )

    Day 3, done. My arms are quite sore.
    What is everyone finding the most challenging?
    For me, the cardio and abs are easy. The push ups, squat with shoulder press and the side lunges are tough. Looking forward to getting stronger :0)

    Today I ate 1750 cals. Very hungry due to TOM around the corner! Normally I would have a binge and eat 3000-4000 cals easy....of the wrong food.
