Ordered the DVD off Amazon last night, I'm so excited to start it! Are people finding it effective in aiding weightloss or just toning?

i'm still hurting from wednesday!!!

seriously, i cant lift my arms above shoulder height! i think the weights i used were too heavy, they were my husbands and i stupidly did the math that they were 0.5kg in each hand, but i'm so so dumb. they are 0.5kg at each END of EACH WEIGHT. So 1kg in each hand, and i think it was too much for me. I am a numpty.

Well one thing the 30DS has seemed to have done is actually make me quite fit I would say. I usually find the cardio not impossibly hard but I am like "bloody hell when is this going to end" and bearing in mind this is the first class back in 3 weeks (instructor has been on holiday) I was going for it, loving it and then it was over and I was thinking "is that it?"

Now not saying I am not going to feel it tomorrow but perhaps jillian gives you endurance ooh but undid all my hard work by having a slice of White crusty loaf with butter eek

[LadyFi]

Me too!! I hope it comes tomorrow!!

Feel fine just a bit tired, Ive actually been doing the shred with Shingles I noticed the rash on Friday (day 1) but didnt think anything of it until this morning noticed a large lump on the side of my neck (near collarbone!)

Hello me again!

Thought i would put my measurements on so you could see what was happening! i have got pictures but theres not any difference yet so i will wait before putting them on!! Right when i started last tuesday ( 9/8/11) my measurements were as follows:
Over boobs 100cm / 40"
Under boobs 86cm / 34.4"
Tummy 100cm / 40"
Hips 99.5cm / 39.8"
Left upper arm (aka the wing) 33cm / 13.2"
Right upper arm 32.5cm / 13"
Left thigh 61cm / 24.4"
Right thigh 59.5cm / 23.8"

When i started i did 5 days at level one and 2 days at level 2 and these were my measurements last night when i'd finished day 2 level 2:
Over boobs 98.5cm / 39.4"
Under boobs 85.5cm / 34.2"
Tummy 97.5cm / 39"
Hips 98.5cm / 39.4"
Left upper arm (aka the wing) 33cm / 13.2"
Right upper arm 33cm / 13.2"
Left thigh 61cm / 24.4"
Right thigh 60.5cm / 24.2"

Now apart from my right wing and right thigh ive lost a bit from all over, although im not quite sure why my right side is now growing in size??!!
Ill still continue to do my measurements and pictures as i continue with Jilly baby!!

Day 5 @ level 3 30DS done at normal time this AM! The end is in sight haha plan on doing it everyday still up until my holidays. Def see signs of my fitness being improved...aerobics was a doddle Monday night (and that was on top of Jillian in the AM) so that's one thing but I think my "six pack" is playing hide and seek
