    I'm definitely in! I just started Level 1 Day 1 today and I was sweating like crazy! I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow but I'm going to keep going. No pain no gain!!

    Well, I'm just getting back into My Fitness Pal. Gained 3 lbs lately and I can sure see why. Have never been a runner but have always thought I would love it. So, even though today is Jun 13, I will pick up from here and join.

    Thanks for your encouragement.
    I had lost 28 lbs dieting and plan to keep it off after I get lean. Alot of flab, so hoping running and weight will help that.

    Just finished level 2 day 4. Totally exhausted, I did more of the advanced moves today. Omg it's hard!!! Jillian is a killer! My stamina from level 1 is so amazingly different, I couldn't do all the jumping jacks and jump ropes in level 1 I'm a pro at level 2's cardio lol!

    I agree....so happy with how much more I am able to do when it comes to cardio. I'm not doing double jump rope or anything, but I am able to complete that circuit. I find my neck and shoulders bother me the most, but I always seem to have trouble with that. Finished Day 5 level 2 today. Half way...can hardly wait to be done this level, even though it does seem to go by quicker than Level 1 for some reason. Was tired today after work, only burned 200 calories, but tomorrow is a day off so maybe more calories will be burned. Will see....

    Is anyone else having trouble with shin splints or knee pain from this? I'm a little worried that I'm going to cause an injury if I keep working out with this going on. I'm not sure if I'm doing the exercises wrong or if it's just from such steady activity after such a long time at the sedentary level. Any thoughts?

    ^ I also have shin splint pain. I figured out that mine was due to my shoes (I have low arches so I need a more stable shoe). Make sure you ice it and then apply heat after the workout. Do extra stretched afterwards as well.

    Mine is getting better, but it is a slow heal since I am not giving "rest" days. If it hurts too much, I would consult a doctor but if the pain goes away after sitting down for a little bit I think its just from your legs not being used to the impact

    Day 9 Level 1 down. Still have to get better with calorie counting, but am excited that tomorrow is my last day of Level 1. I am looking forward to a change although I hear level 2 is a beast!

    Today should be day 8 of level 1 and i'm really struggling. my arthritis is flaring up and i don't know what to do: work out but do an extremely modified version or to have a rest day? Really don't know what to do!

    I cannot wait to get home today and start day 8 of Level 1. I've lost 5 lbs, but I think that's due to me running on the treadmill as well. Unfortunately I did not take measurements before. So I only entered today on my check-in the measurements. I hope I lost some inches as well.

    Good luck everybody, keep on working towards your goals!!! I know that I'm tired everytime I get home, but I always decided to push play.

    There's a saying I've heard several times , "No one ever says darn I wish I hadn't exercised today." I keep that in my mind when I'm tired and get up and workout.

    I have completed Day 9 of level 1. I haven't lost much in the way inches that I have noticed, but I remember from before that I tend to lose a little all over so it is hard to notice right away. I do think some of my clothes are fitting differently, but it is hard to say. I have only lost 2 lbs in the last week and a half and finally back to my pre-vacation weight in mid May. :laugh:

    Level 2 Day 1 DOWN as of last night...and OH MY GOSH...what a workout! I feel like it's a much harder workout than level 1, but I'm very impressed with my stamina compared to Day 1 of Level1. I feel like Level 2 moves a lot quicker and doesn't feel like it drags by. I actually enjoyed it...now, ask me 10 days from now and I'll have another answer :)

    Does anyone do this workout in conjunction with another exercise? Like walking/jogging/running? Anything like that?

    OMG level 2 is tough!! First day of it today, I had to do most of the beginner modifications and was dripping in sweat still. My shoulders definitely felt the burn! I had to have a few breathers but I'm hoping that it'll be like level 1and I'll find the moves easier after day 3/4. Before I'd have given up at this level but I'm determined to finish this!!

    My schedule has been a bit crazy so far, but I do plan to add in TurboFire in the evenings. Possibly starting next week.

    oh no! That's what I'm worried about;0!

    I did level 1 day 6 today--did a lot better:) I missed 2 days because my husband took me on a get away for our anniversary so I decided that was more important:). I was worried that I'd have trouble today but I don't feel that I really lost anything taking 3 days off;0. (I did do Walk Away the Lbs Mon--just 3 days of Jillian)

    "Just measured myself and after just 10 days I've lost 1/2 an inch from each arm, 1 inch from my hips and 1 1/2 inches from my waist! Not bad for just 10 days work!! :) "

    Great job.

    Sorry, I don't know how to quote on here.

    Hello,
    My name is Rachel, I just started myfitnesspal on Tuesday, June 12th.
    I have lost 2.8 pounds so far :)

    Question:
    I recently did Jillian's ripped in 30 and I'm wondering how I can log this in my exercise?
    Note : The tape features the 3 - 2 - 1 system (3 min of strength training, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs) x 3
    Any Suggestions?
    -Rachel

    Just did Level 2, Day 1. Have to agree with the others who said their stamina is so much better than when they started Level 1. I pushed through the whole workout, only stopping to catch my breath a couple of times. I probably shouldn't have done it right after I did 20 minutes of Zumba, but I knew if I put it off until later, I wouldn't get to it.

    Is the 30day shred only available on Dvd or is it possible to get it on paper/printable to take with to the gym.

    Just finished Level 2 Day 3, and I am TIRED

    I skipped working out in the morning today, telling myself I'd just do it later. Then of course, when later came I didn't want to do it!
    I'll know better than to do that tomorrow morning....I hope :)

    I just finished Level 1. I will start Level 2 tomorrow morning. I was lazy this morning and decided to pass on it, but I was regretting it this afternoon while doing it in my very hot living room! Gotta keep up on the morning workouts!! :tongue:
