    OK, a few questions. How do you reply to someones thread? Whenever I click reply right below someone it doesn't actually reply to theirs...

    What do you plan to do after this video? It's starting to get cold where I am at and I have 2 little boys. On days when it is nice, I can go outside with them, but I know those are few and far between. I can't afford a gym membership either.

    I have been so tired since starting level 2. I'm not sure what I can do to improve this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    See right next to reply where it says "quote"? Just click that and you will see a copy of the post you are replying to and you can type your response under it.

    After the video I might try the fit in six program. I am lucky that I do have a gym membership but I like the accountability of this kind of DVD. I'd suggest Netflix. They have lots of fitness DVDs in their "watch instantly" column which you can load and play right on your computer (or PlayStation if you have one). All of them can be done at home and at your convenience and you can do a different one everyday to keep from getting bored and last you all winter.

    As for fatigue, I'd say just be careful about the food your eating. You're burning more calories if you're sweating more so you may need to up your intake, especially of protein and those healthy carbs. Vitamin B is good too. Also, and forgive me for stating the obvious, make sure you are getting enough sleep! It'll help your body recover from the workouts!

    I have been that way these past couple days. I have had NO motivation, however, good for you for pushing through even though you didn't want to. I am feeling habits starting to form that I am happy about.

    Thank you :) Today was just one of those I think I'd rather just go back to bed kind of days. My daily routine is get the kidlet off to school and then get my butt in gear to work out. Today, it was cold out and after my son left for school, my cozy, warm bed was beckoning hahaha.

    I have an elliptical, so I use that every day. After I am done this round of 30DS, I'd like to see where I am measurement and weight-wise and then possible circuit through it again. I picked up some kettlebells today to do the shred with weights. It is currently running for free ondemand with my cable company. Someone posted in another thread www.myomytv.com and it has free workouts on it. I don't have the money to spend for a gym membership either, so I plan to keep using my elliptical and any of the freebie workouts I can!

    Oh, and a final note, I started taking a super vitamin b complex two weeks ago and I can honestly say, I have noticed a difference in my energy level.

    Thank you for the link and advice. I don't know why it's been tough since I started level 2, but I am sticking with it no matter what.

    Confession: I missed the last 2 days due to feeling a bit under the weather and now I have no motivation to keep going...I feel like I already failed because I won't get 30/30 in October which was the whole point. Should I press on or try again another time?

    Keep pressing on! I had to start a day late and I had to take this past Sunday off because I literally had no time so I'm two days behind as well. If you start back on today, we'll be even and we'll finish strong together! There are also at least two new people joining us about a week and a half late! You will not be left alone! Don't let 10 days go down the drain because you had to take two days off! You can do it!

    OK, Got my DVD in the mail today and did the first workout.:bigsmile: Yes, It was hard, but I got through the whole thing. Which i did not think i was going to be able to do.

    I have one problem ,:laugh: and was wondering if anyone can help me. I am a big girl(that's why I am here) just stopped nursing( like yesterday), and I have a very large chest like 42 F.:blushing: Any suggestions on how to go about jumping jack.:blushing: I can do it but it hurts unless I hold the girls still.:blushing:

    Welcome! Excited to have you join us! Congrats on making it through the first day! Rock it!

    There was a forum recently about what to do for larger chests concerning exercise:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/121236-sports-bra-for-us-girls-with-the-bigger-ones

    I think the consensus is doubling up. Two sports bras or even a regular with a sports on top. But feel free to read!

    You're not alone. I'm nursing as well and I am a DD. I double up. It's the only way I can handle it.

    After missing 2 days I did the shred tonight!!! So, now i'm done with 13 days total. I'm kinda upset with myself that I'm behind my original goal of doing all 30 days in a row :ohwell: but I can't change that and I just have to focus on not slipping again.

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    I will send you mine after I finish level 2!! So close.

    I did 2 rounds of 30DS yesterday so I could have Sunday off and I did one today. Monday starts day 8. Can you believe we're already half way done?

    Good job to everyone! Even if you are a little behind for whatever reason, that's okay! Just pick back up when you can. I did level 2 day 8 today! It still kicks my butt as well! However, good news, my husband said my butt looks smaller lol! :) That's good, right? ha ha. Good job everyone! I am curious to see what my measurements are when I take them at the start of level 3.

    Today is my last day of level 2! WHOO HOO! I have forgotten to post in this thread, oops! I can't wait to see what level 3 has in store for me.

    I can most definitely tell a difference in my clothing. I am not going to measure until I am finished and then I will post my results.

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Here ya go guys! Congrats to everyone for sticking through it this far!

    Careen - congrats on losing 2'' on your hips! Bet you're looking forward to busting through that 200lb mark, huh? Whoo hoo!

    Level two has been a definite challenge for me (planks are the bane of my existence) but yesterday was day 5 and I finally managed to do all of the "Natalie" level movements - plank jacks, double jump rope, etc - so that made me super super happy. It kicked my butt, but I did em!

    Congrats to all going on to level 3 soon. Make sure you post your experience so people who will get there a few days after you (namely me) won't be so nervous about it :-P

    Keep it up guys! We're doing AWESOME!

    My oh my this week will not be a good one for the Shredding. Started to feel sick yesterday so I didn't shred and today I feel AWFUL! I hate colds! Hopefully I can just jump back into level two when I feel better. I don't want to lose all the progress :-(

    But keep up the great work everyone! Shred a little extra for me :-)

    Hey all, I started level 3, day 1 yesterday. I had to workout last evening due to a crazy schedule yesterday morning. Level 3 is a little more intense. I feel it today for sure! She steps it up and I had to modify and follow Anita, but I am ok with that! I will be doing day 2 this evening. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

    I'm happy to hear something about level 3. I am actually a little scared though. I will be starting level 3 tonight!! Sorry to hear people are feeling sick, too!! That is rough, but don't let it hold you back. Get better and then get back on schedule! :)

    Don't be scared :) It's just a little more intense and the traveling push ups kick my *kitten*. I had to modify. Oh, and the side plank things at the end about kill me hahaha

    I can't get over this crud, and I still having been able to shred. I'm getting way behind, but hopefully in a couple of days, I can get back to it and double up or something. I feel so yucky.... no exercise in a week! I dread getting on the scale tomorrow, because of course, I haven't lost my appetite during all this. :grumble:
