    Just joined...really happy I found this group...need the motivation of other peoples stories and logging my progress.

    Taken before pics and measurements. Competed L1D1 today and really enjoyed it! Even though once I finished my body was like jelly! It feels fine now though, but does that mean nothing and I will feel it in the morning?

    Just did day 4 and 5, level 1. Today I worked out twice because tomorrow won't be able to. It became too easy so I'm thinking of 5lbs weights but have to find out a way how to do that without buying new weights. I have 2lbs dumbbells.

    I start the 30 day shred on Monday, I am really looking forward to getting into it!
    I am just hoping the motivation doesn't stray as i haven't had much success with previous home fitness regimes! :cry:

    Did day 9 of level 1 and feel frustraited... I see no results. My weight is the same and measurements didn't change. Don't want to keep on working out.. My muscles feel a little bit thighter than they were but still. I want to get visible results and now I doubt that they will show up:{

    Don't give up yet! I did not see any real changes in inches OR weight until I was about 20 days in. I ended up losing 5 pounds and almost 10 inches, so try and keep going!

    Karlos 988, thanks for encouraging:}
  • Started this on Saturday with my daughter. She is 15, and doesnt work out at all - during the entire thing, she kept telling me "how easy" it was. I was doing everything I was supposed to, and she quit right around 15 minutes into it. The next morning, she could barely walk!! I felt okay - a little sore in my thighs, but did 20 minutes of pilates anyhow. My daughter needed a day off, lol...

    We get it going again tonight!! We are only on level 1, but I am thinking of pushing it to level 2 before the week is out - just to increase the burn...

    Did I mention I LOVE the sore muscle feeling? Lol... strange, I know!!

    Did Day 1 this morning...this is the third time I've started the shred, and never completed it (grr). I'm very familiar with Level 1, but I still had a hard time making it through some of the strength (damn you, push-ups!), and the cardio still sucks! Looking forward to it getting easier!

    I finished all 3 levels and decided to go back through all levels with heavier weights. I can't believe it but my muscles are sore again first couple days of level 1! Not like it was the first time, but still noticeable.

    Oh yeah and I still can't do both rounds of push ups Natalie style! I'm up to doing about 10 push ups Natalie style and then giving in and going back to Anita style. #damnyoutohellpushups

    Finished day 3 of level one last night. Not doing them every day just as time permits......I'm really surpised how much strength I get in 30 minutes! Keeps me coming back hopefully more often. I was pretty sore after the first day but now not sore at all the day after. I sooooo feel the burn on the squats with push up with weights move... Ooooooowiiiiiieee!

    Finished day 8 today. Haven't checked measurements but I did Jillian's No More Trouble Zones for a couple of weeks before starting the 30 day shred and I can see a bit of a difference in my saddle-bag area.

    I am happy to report that I have finally completed Level 1 and have moved on to Level 2 today. For those of you getting ready to move on, let me say, I think she is trying to kill me. :) I thought level 1 was bad. Boy was I wrong. Okay so now for the results so far.

    My SW before Level 1 was 210 lbs Today I weighed in at 207 lbs and Since doing Level 1 I have lost 6" total. Now on to the next Level!

    Im on L1D7, still getting good heart rate out of it and still sweating a lot.
    I can go through most of the circuits without any problems but now Im doing "Natalie" mode.
    Using puny 2 lbs weights, waiting till level 2 to get to 5 lbs.

    Looking forward to Level 2! I hear its pretty rough xD

    Have noticed small changes already, but didnt take measurements, kind of going by pant looseness.

    L1 D2 down! Since today is the holiday I wanted to make sure I got it in. I definitely need to invest in some smaller weights. The heavier size is making it difficult for me to complete all the reps.
  • I just finished day 6 too, there has been no change on the scale so I started measuring today because I feel like there is a slight change already. Keep at it :)

    I’m on day 5 of level 1; I can already feel the difference in my endurance. I had underestimated Jillian, for some reason I thought I would just breeze through this workout (I guess the joke is on me) But I must admit that I get so excited thinking about completing the 30Day Shred.
