    I am on day 5 also :-) Really motivated and want to complete it and I can see results, my stomach feels flatter. Only demotivating factor is that when I get on the scales I have actually put on weight; about 4lbs. I am also restricting my calories to the recommended amount for my height / weight etc. I think I have lost inches but I really wanted to lose weight aswell. Anyone got any ideas?

    This is my second time doing 30 DS...I gained a few pounds both times I started,but they fell off quickly. Don't focus so much on the scale...the inches you are losing is fat. Good luck, and have fun with it. Jillian is awesome!

    Thanks for the posting! I'm also tracking my calories and didn't understand why I gain 2lbs after a few days. I'm so sore all over!

    I'm beginning today... I've tried to do it a few times and haven't ever lasted more than a few days, this time I will stick to it! I want to see the results that I've seen others get, I want to lose those inches! So after this post, I will load up the dvd and begin my journey :) wish me luck!

    I will start today too, for the second time. Just got over a broken ankle - believe it or not stress fracture doing ripped in 30.
    Anyway just an FYI - you never have to move off level 1 if you are not ready. Do what you can do. Level 1 is an intense workout. Jillian even says, stay here if you can't move on successfully! Also, Target is selling it for $9, no shipping, no waiting!

    I'm going to be starting today!

    I don't have any weights, but I figure I can find a couple of bottles to use, or something of the sort.

    Make sure you take measurements and before/after pictures. You will be amazed at the difference in your shape, even when the scale says otherwise. I didn't lose much weight-wise, but I lost alot of inches...I had to buy smaller workout clothes by level 2 because my pants fell down! Don't let the scale tell your tale, no one knows what that number is but you but everyone can see the difference in your shape :)

    I agree. I've noticed more inches and timing so far then weight loss
    Bodies changed a lot And i just finished day 21
    Although I'd love to see weight loss I'm not discouraged lol

    I just ordered this from Amazon last week and expect to get it on Wednesday. Can anyone tell me what lbs weights she is using? I have a set of 8lbs and wonder if that is too heavy for what Jillian is doing?

    I have this at home and I think I started Day 1 a year ago and didn't go back. I'm encouraged to see that a lot of people said the sickness went away after day 4 or 5!

    Can you gain muscle from this or does it just help with weightloss? I don't need to lose I'm trying to gain, but I also want more muscle. I am working out at gym 3 x week in 30 min circuit room at Planet Fitness, but I need something when I'm not using the weight machines. I've been working out one month now.

    8 lb weights would have been too heavy for me, but I'm just beginning any kind of strength training. For the harder moves, I start out with 3 lb weights and make it my goal to move up to 5 lbs by day 5 of any given level. Weights are cheap, so I would have a few on hand to use as you feel necessary.

    I have definitely gained muscle. Before the end of level 1, I could tell a difference in my legs, back, and arms - a lot firmer.

    I did day 21 today and it was tough. Traveling pushups were invented by the devil himself! While level 2 has a lot of planks, level 3 seems to have more jumping. I have nightmares with Jillian saying "I want you to feel like you're going to die" lol

    I haven't taken any measurements, but it's obvious to me my body is losing inches of fat and gaining muscles. I look so much more toned and I'm losing about 1.5-2lbs/week. Keep it up everyone, it will pay off!

    I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Is it sensible to do this (I was thinking before work every morning) and keep up gym 3-4 times a week
