    So, I have a class until 9 tonight which means I won’t be able to do the workout until at the earliest 9:30. This is gonna be a late night for me... I should have gotten up earlier and done it before work.

    I can relate, last night I didn't end up getting mine done until after 10. It was rough.

    Oh no, I'm glad I'm on winter break or I'd be right there with you. Hope it all worked out alright. :heart:

    Day eleven done!

    This level's definitely more intense than the last; I'm sweating buckets. On a positive note, though, the 25 minutes still flew by super quickly!

    Hello!

    I'm obviously way behind here but I'd love to join in if you'll have me!

    I've started and stop 30DS too many times to count and really need to get myself back into a routine.

    Mostly, I think I need the accountability. 😬

    @aerofaerie @fittnessing64 Last night I finished Day 9 around 10:30, but I did it! I did Day 10 today and peeked at Level 2... I am going to give it a shot I think tomorrow. I might die though! 😅

    @jm7515 Of course we will have you! Welcome!

    I did Level 2! I admit, it was with every modificiation possible and I had to pause numerous times to catch my breath, but I did it and am literally dripping with sweat 😅 Day 11 done!!!

    Day thirteen done!

    @dreinecke94 Congrats! And I know right? I'm fine for the first circuit and a half, then in the last ten minutes I start pouring sweat :lol: Hopefully the extra sweat means extra results! lol

    @dreinecke94 @fittnessing64 @jm7515

    Alright, its officially day 11 for me. I'm going to attempt level two tonight. I'm a little worried about my knee because it's been acting up, but I think if I do an extra warm up before the workout and take extra care in doing the extra stretches I've already been doing post workout I'll be okay. I'm not dying at level one anymore, so I think I need to step it up a notch.

    Holy crap, I've watched parts of level two but when you're actually trying to do that stuff? 😱 I was able to do it though for the most part.

    Some unexpected complications are coming from this level. My stomach hangs pretty low because even though I've lost significant weight before joining MFP, it's all come off my legs and bra line. I'm thinking I might want to invest in some compression shorts to hold it down because it is slapping against my upper thighs during all the jumps. I mean it's good in a way because I'm able to jump much higher than before, but it also kind of hurts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    @aerofaerie Lol Nice work!! And compression shorts sound like a good idea. I don't have the same problem, but I do have to wear a compressing bra to keep my chest from killing me during the jumps 😭

    Day fourteen done!

    Two weeks into the month already! I had a calorie-heavy weekend (and week, in general) so I tried doing both level 2 and 1 today to burn some extra calories. Surprisingly doable!

    Day fifteen down!

    And weigh-in/measuring day. Numbers in the parentheses are changes from last week:

    Weight:
    137.3 lbs (-0.4)

    Measurements:
    Chest- 92.5 cm (0)
    Waist- 74.5 cm (+0.5)
    Hips- 92.5 cm (-2.5)
    Arms- 29 cm (0)
    Thighs- 61.5 cm (-1)

    Not a huge difference, but I'll take it! I'm feeling more "muscle-y" so I hope that's what's evening out the scale and measurements. 💪

    So I had a terrible day yesterday and made the decision to eat out and binge drink rather than work out. Talk about high calorie and not doing anything to make up for it... 😔 I’m going to give myself a day to right myself before weigh in.

    Aww, hopefully you enjoyed yourself though! It's nice to take a break once in a while, makes this whole weight loss thing more sustainable in the long run. ❤️

    @fittnessing64 Oh, I definitely enjoyed myself 😂 but I haven’t done the video in 2 days now. I’m going to do two days of Level one followed by two to make up for it. Today is my new Day 13.

    Understandably the scale didn’t move that much. I’m down .4lbs as of today from last Saturday.

    So I literally cannot move my arms today. I’ve done 14 days so far with a 2 day break in there. On day 13 I did two workouts.

    @aerofaerie It's been a couple days since we have heard from you, how's it coming along?

    I struggled out of bed this morning at 5am and did Day 16 then. It was difficult at first, because I am 100% not a morning person and usually only get 5ish hours of sleep, but last night I got 6 hours because I knew I wanted to try and get up early. I surprised myself in how I honestly like that I don't have to think about it the rest of the day. How about you ladies, when do you prefer to do your workout?

    Day nineteen and twenty not done ☹️ I've been on my feet all day yesterday and today helping out at a local fair, up at 6 working and back home at 9 legs throbbing so I haven't had the extra energy or time. One more day of this and I'll be back on track though!

    @dreinecke94 This level is awful, I totally agree 😭 I personally prefer doing the workout in the morning since, like you said, I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day. Plus I feet energized after working out and it's nice to have that for the day ahead!
