    As the day has progressed I have to say WOW am I hurting. Did day 2 of level 2 this morning and am really feeling it. Mostly in the upper body, neck and shoulders, but generally all over. I know how unfit and weak I am, but I will get stronger.

    Finished D2L3 today...I am beat by the end of it and can barely do the push ups on my knees anymore. Glad I'm sticking with it though. Reporting each day is definitely helping me out.

    I'm in, I just restarted D1 L1 yesterday, I tried it last week but I just did not have the time to get through it everyday. I decided that was an excuse because I can make it to the gym and do Zumba on my Wii so I know I can take 20 minutes to do this. My shoulders are so sore from those damn push-ups, but I need that, I have a PT test very soon so this can only help me get back in shape after my babies.

    will post measurements soon

    Hi all! I've just started D1 L1 and I'm planning on a full course with 3lb weights, followed by a full course with 5lb weights.

    I took my weight and measurements today and will do some before pics when I get home. Looking forward to working hard and seeing results!!

    Any advice for n00bs? ;)

    Brit, you are doing so well. Not sure I will even try Level 3 this time round. Would have been happy to do 30 days on level 1, but am pretty pleased with myself for giving level 2 ago. Only 2 days so far at it, and boy am I sore. Now up to 16 days. Passed half way. YAY!!!:drinker:

    Great job with the weights!!

    Advice: Stick with it. Try and do it everyday. It will (should!) hurt in the beginning, but it will get easier by days 3, 4, and/or 5. Progress when you are ready. Don't peak at the other levels, or you might scare yourself. :tongue: :bigsmile: Good luck! Check in whenever you complete a day, and tell us how you did!

    Finished D4 L2 (14/30) today! It went well. I was pleased that some of the moves were getting a little easier, but I still can't do all the moves in the last strength section with weights, nor the last plan (ab) move. I want to be able to do those all the way through by D10

    Thanks. I moved on because I was getting bored with level 2. Not that it was easy, just that I was bored doing the same thing every day. But, I also did level 1 for awhile then restarted at level 2 after being sick for a week.

    Did Level 1 again today. I did another video earlier and push ups, so I wasn't sure I would make it all the way through L3. But I modified some of the exercises (adding weights during cardio) so it would be a little tougher. D13 complete, only 17 left.

    I'm not having the same exact thing, but I've been having some pain in my tailbone recently. I fractured it about 9 months ago and hadn't had any trouble with it for awhile, but since I've started L2 and L3 it seems to be bothering me a little more. I wonder if it's from a similar problem.

    I'm not sure what that is... :laugh: Try looking up some sciatic nerve pain relief technique online. If it gets bad, your doctor can probably tell you how to feel better with stretches, like mine often does for my back pain. :flowerforyou:

    D7L1 yesterday. It felt good. I am definitely getting stronger because I am completing just about all the sets! The side lunges with raises are still a killer, I wish I had three pound weights. I took Sunday off because I was pretty sore from snowboarding on Saturday. My DH took my down a bunch of runs that I would normally never do, so I was pretty tired. Anyways happy shredding everyone!

    Day 4 of Level 2, Day 18 of 30. Have had a headache for the last 4 days, coincidently, same time I have been on level 2. :huh: but will not let it stop me, very determined to do 30 days straight.

    Wow, you did a great work out today.

    D8L1 tonight. It felt pretty good. I realized that I pulled/strained a muscle in my chest snowboarding this weekends so my push ups were pretty weak. I did about half of them going about half way down. I don't want to injure myself and not be able to work out or hurt to breath. Happy Shredding everyone-you guys are a huge inspiration:happy:

    I won't be Shredding today. Please forgive me. I need a break after 5 days straight of L2. Just listening to what my body is telling me. I plan to do some Leslie Sansone walking instead, and want to complete her whole 4 Really Big Miles!! BE BACK TOMORROW!! :drinker:

    PS - Added another blog on my daily Shred progress: www.stephips.blogspot.com

    YES!!!! Did you just get to 18?? That's awesome! I'm pushing to get out of 18's, but I remember when I first got 18 pants, they were the first size that actually felt like they fit me, and weren't too big in the waist (note: my wide hips make nothing fit me right!)
