Hi there, I'm starting it again tonight too. had great success with it back in the summer, and found the people on here doing at the same time really motivated me to keep on track, hopefully we'll be able to spur eachother on with it. I've had a very off the wagon christmas - first weigh in for two months today and have…

Good stuff everyone. The morning thing is brilliant. I'd never be organised to have enough time but i know the days i go to work on my bike i feel so awake when i get there, so fingers crossed your morning shred did the same thing! Level 3 day 3 here - finding superman hurts my ribs, but can do them (in a small way), have…

Hey - glad it's gone well (or as well as it can do!!) Just looked up the time difference (and where you are on a map - nosey parker!)and see we are 5 hours ahead in the UK, so mornings would definitely do it. Not sure i'd fancy seeing jillian first thing though!!! x

I was nearly sick tonight!!

Did the first day yesterday - first thought is she for real? is this actually physically possible??? LOL! It was so hard, i was trembling doing the abs stuff. but i think i will like parts of it better than level 2.

Totally agree with that Pinky - level 2 is flying by. I know you guys don't agree with me, but i'm hoping for less planks in level 3! Wouldn't mind trying a climbing wall too - or and nothing to do with fitness here - one of those segways, have you seen those? they look like loads of fun xx

Hey go for it, what a great symbol of the new you! I;ve done a Go Ape before which is like a treetop course with zip lines, It was horrible but brilliant at the same time! My adventure is joining a fitness class, i went spinning for the first time ever last night, i've never had the confidence to go to anything like that…

Jane Austen if I couldn't read anybody else ever. My kindle is full of Kate Atkinson and CJ Sansom books so i reckon they must be my favoruites right now.

Hi, I put my knees together too on that one. Also I don't do the last move on level two - i do another set of double crunches instead. I wasn't sure if i was doing it right and i hated it so i thought why not just do something you're defo getting something out of. Otherwise i am a slave to jillian!

Hiya, i haven't done today yet either, but i'm not sure if i'm changing or not. I took pictures at the start so i guess we will soon see. My tummy feels more wobbly in a way, I have very poor muscle tone there anyway after 2 c-sections, and now it seems almost worse - i hate doing the high knees running because i feel like…

Hiya, no I wouldn't do it twice. I've missed two days of level 1 and one day of level 2 so far due to being away but i've tried to do other exercise where possible those days so i reckon it's fine (ish!). Actually I have noticed that i seem to be a bit better at it when i've had a day off so it does seem to benefit in a…

Hi, I'm back with you aftre missing a day yesterday. Am finding the planking easier now - did the proper plank jacks today instead of just steps. Felt quite good actually - it needs to be - i've had a very alcohol and carb filled weekend!

have work up this morning with sore shoulders! defo agree about reducing the weights, i haven't got any i just use a cpuple of big books and am thinking about moving to paperbacks!!!!!!

OMG - i hated it!!! Hope tomorrow is better - do not like planking or any of that business down there!!! here's hoping it gets easier!!!

wahey - we did it - level one, done! It's my wedding anniversary today. my husband and i are child free for the next couple of days, we've just been out for a very calorific dinner, but before we went we both met up with Jillian, am very proud of self for doing it - even if said husband did critisise my side lunges and…

I love it when jillian talks tough to me!!! Day 10 coming up when i get home from work - woo hoo!!!! i think i am beginning to see small changes in my shape too..

Day 9 done! Not too bad - even managed all the raises though it still hurts. Haven't peeked at level two - i'm hoping they have new outfits on for it! Don't l;like the sound of this planking business much!!!

Day 8 done! Getting excited for level 2! Today the abs felt really good. Still can't do proper press ups - still doing them on my knee, but did manage to do the side lunges and lifts all the way through. We are getting strong, good luck all xxx

Hi all, I'm back with you - had two days off as have been away camping. The first day i did a 4 mile bike ride so didn't mind missing the shred so much, but yesterday was rubbish i did some half-arsed aerobics in the tent then ate more than double my usual daily calories!! Anyway am back on day 7 shred with you all, sounds…

struggled with day 4 -starting to dread the strength bits coming round! Have had a pain in side of neck and achilles ever since which is probabl;y a sign of me doing things wrong!! We're away fro a couple of days now so I'll see you all again on day 7. Keep at it (though suspect we'll all be decrepit by the end of it!!!!!)

I don't do any other exercise apart from cycle to work and back (4 miles) one day a week, need to do more. I have a question actually -what happens after the 30 days? Do you just do the dvd again??

Hiya, I've done day three, feel really good now, but it hurt at the time, particularly my arms and lifting the wights to eye level. ouch!!! How have you got on?

an ex boyfriend used to call me sally cinnamon and i liked it, i've used it for forums ever since!

Just done day 2 - worked a lot harder than day 1. The main thing i'm struggling with is the push ups - omg it hurts!!! don't think i have ever done them before. Also knees are clicking a bit and i keep worrying i'm not doing it right. Apart from that i'm feeling good (bet i can't get downstairs tomorrow morning!!!). Keep…

Really pleased I saw this thred, as I too coincidently started shred yesterday. I am aching a bit today but still looking forward to doing more later today. Only thing is that i haven't got any weights - yesterdat i didn't use anything but i think today i will try some tins, do you think that'll be ok for now? Good luck…
