    I just started today also! I finished Level 1 and went all the way through completely. I've always had to stop before because it just got too hard. But today I pushed and I completed it! :) I took before measurements, but I'll post those after the 30 days.

    I've done 30 DS before and loved it.

    I may try it again and join in with you all!

    Ok a stupid question, is it the exact same workout for 10 straight days? Do you take rest days at all? I did it the first day but then I was so sore from the push ups that I could only get 1/2 way through it again. I thought you weren't supposed to work the same muscles two days in a row?

    Just got the DVD in the mail, so I'll try to start today as well. My only concern is that I am very much out of shape, so I know I will need some breaks, or at least just do as many reps/sets as I am able to, and just focus on improving/increasing reps each day. :smile:

    JM's suggested schedule is as follows:

    2 days 30DS
    1 day cardio
    2 Days 30DS
    1 day cardio
    1 rest day

    Rinse, repeat...

    I started both Insanity, (****) and the 30 day shred today!

    I won't post measurements because they may not be accurate being that I'm combining it with insanity.

    Good luck guys! Will let you know how much I lose and how many inches at the end of the 30 days...

    I'm on day 7, and I've made Saturdays my rest day. For me day 3 was the WORST.

    Take measurements/pics. I've seen so many inspiring 30ds before and after pictures its crazy. I can't wait to see mine. even if I just lose inches and you can't see it in pictures I'll be stoked

    I started it Friday night. I thought I was going to die after the first workout. I pushed through the entire thing without stopping and broke my first real sweat since I was a kid!!! I was so sore Saturday I decided I wasn't going to do it, but my kids wanted to do it with me, so I did it... Sunday I had a hard time getting out of bed I was so sore. By Monday afternoon, I realized I wasn't sore at all anymore!! I did Level 1 again Monday night and then moved on to Level 2 last night. I'm a little sore today, but my endurance has improved a lot already! Even though the first few days SUCK, try to stick with it, because you really can feel it working! I just keep telling myself that the more it hurts and the more horrible it is, the better results I'll get. Good luck!!

    I plan on stopping at Walmart today to get this. Assuming they have it, I am in. Will send measurements as well.

    3 days a week right?

    I just started it this morning! I was motivated after walking 5 miles yesterday and 3 this morning already. Let's just see how much I can SHRED. I am leaving for Hawaii on the 29th ... I was considering double sessions to get 30 sessions in before my trip. ;)

    I work 16 hours tomorrow (7am-1130m) so I'm debating taking a rest day tomorrow already. Either that or getting up way earlier to get it done. I know I won't be able to do it when I get home. After my last double, I came home, crashed, and slept for amost 13 hours!

    I"m in!

    I've never even heard of all of this Jillian Michaels stuff until I started poking around here. My only knowlege of JM is by watching Biggest Loser while eating a big ol' bowl of ice cream (pre- MFP days)

    I saw that it is available on iTunes so has anyone tried using it off an iPad? I'd think this would eliminate any excuse of not having a DVD available when I have to go out of town.

    Thanks!

    it's on vimeo as well. I own it, but I just play it on there on my computer. It's easier for me. More room in my computer room and no dvdrom drive on my computer

    I started this last night! I'm planning on doing it for the full 30 days straight. I might have my hopes set too high but after seeing some others results I'm hoping mine are just as good! Good luck to everyone!

    WOW I'm so happy so many others are doing it too!
    Honestly, when you are sore, just keep going and once yhou have warmed up its not so bad. The first couple of days are the worst and then you feel great!
    I am doing mine everyday starting today (completed it a couple hours ago! Woooo!
