    Way to go!!

    I too completed level 1 last night. I plan to take measurement tonight before I start level 2. I'm up in poundage, but that could totally be attributed to my eating this weekend. Definately not down anyway. I hope I see something in inches, even a little bit.

    D1 Level 2 kicked my butt tonight. I had to modify half of the moves but it was a good workout. I cannot wait to get off this level.

    For Level 1 completion I lost 3.3 lbs and a total of 3.25 inches all over. For my problem areas I lost 1 inch off my waist and 1/2 inch off my thighs. Those results motivated me to workout tonight because I was ready to skip a night to go to bed early.

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/207992-30-day-shred-challenge-day-10-weigh-in - go here and post your level 1 stats...we can keep going on either thread - doesn't matter to me.

    I did do day 1, level 2 last night and I remember why I didn't like this level so much. I want to skip through these 10 days...I know I love level 3 so I have something to look forward to.

    I bought the Shred dvd 1 year ago and it's still unopened. Thanks for the motivation to finally get started!

    Can I jump in with you guys? I was on D6L2 when I got sick 2 weeks ago. I did L1 yesterday but is was too easy so I want to move to L2. I lost 3 inches and 3 lbs before I can post my current stats.

    Sure, sounds like you'll be right about with me...I will do level 2, day 2 tonight.

    Finished L2D2 are you all posting on another thread? Where should I log my stats?

    I completed D2 L2 last night. Still kicked my butt. I feel like I am doing the twist planks in Circuit 3 wrong. My foot slides on the carpet so I don't twist as much as Jillian. The double jump rope is a pain, I can make it half way through but then I modify to single jump rope.

    You can post your stats here:

    I will continue to comment on this thread daily and post stats to the other thread at the completion of each level. Glad more people can join us.

    L2D2 last night!! I only do the single jump rope so you are ahead of me there :smile: I follow Anita with the plank poses, especially the first set as my knee would not allow those jumps like that. Maybe I'll work my way into the jumping jack planks like Natalie - but man, after the strength in that section, my arms about give out on me...its a workout for sure!!

    Ok, so I skipped this last night. I was just so tired. My girls were in bed by 9:30 and I was out shortly after them. The sleep was very nice though!! I will continue on tonight. I will even do it all weekend. We'll be gone for Saturday night, but I plan to do it before we leave Saturday and after we get back on Sunday.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!

    D3L2 complete. I really really did not want to do 30DS last night. I went to Zumba after work and I was so worn out by the time I got home. However, I forced myself to do it and followed Anita the entire video. My shoulders are aching me this morning. The V-lifts are hard, I only lift one arm at a time.

    Missing a day is needed sometimes, especially if you are tired and lack the energy.

    I tend to be tired in general. I have a lot going on and just get tired. So far everything is ok from the doctors, so I just chalk it up to be overworked. I go through spurts where I let the sleep control me and lack on the exercise. Lately I've been focusing on the exercise, but totally needed the break last night. Someday I hope to be able to feel rested...

    Finished D4L2 this morning. If I don't shred in the AM I have such a hard time motivating myself to do it. I love the plank jacks but I can only use my weights for half of the exercises, I will hold them the whole time for week 2 of L2.

    I did L2D3 last night. Man, I'm still sore from starting this on Monday. Guess I was more out of shape than I realized.

    L2D4 completed last night. Almost half way done. I wish I could wake up in the morning to wake up, the snooze button is my best friend.

    Shannon - Feel free to take a day off anytime, I can add days on the end so you'll still have a workout buddy. Listen to your body, that's most important.

    Keep up the good work ladies.

    Sounds good to me! I've posted enough around various places about the shred that I have convinced a few friends to do it too.

    I plan to do it tonight - that would be L2D4 but have had a migraine all day so we'll see how I feel in a few hours. I can't imagine how the workout would feel with a migraine. :noway:

    I will finish D5L2 in the morning and post my stats. Skip Sun and do D7L2 on Monday I am excited for week 2 of the shred and ready to move to L3. I was halfway through L2 before I got sick and it almost feels easy for me. I do not think I will be able to hold the weights the whole time until round 2! She is a monster!

    Jillian Michaels knows or minds that hundreds of thousands of people cuss her out and call her the most foul things you can think of,on a daily basis. :grumble: :wink: Many,like me, before 6 am:noway: .
    Are we affecting her life energy by cursing every breath she takes? Or imagining punching her lights out? I hope not. I love to hate her anyway.



    Happy shredding.

    Good job superhippiechik!!! Awesome results.

    I did not shred on Saturday. I was out of the house all day and by the time I got back home all I wanted to do was watch my DVR'd episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

    Yesterday I completed L2D6. Level 3 is calling my name. The weather is beautiful today so hopefully I will spend some time with my daughter outside then complete Day 7 tonight.

    Completed L2D7 last night. My right knee was bothering me afterwards. I have noticed that my pants are fitting a little loose :bigsmile: I am looking forward to good results on Friday when I measure before starting Level 3.

    Today is my rest day but the shred is calling my name. I do not know if I will do it,though. I am soo ready for L3. I feel like I have been on L2 forever! If I stay at this rate I will have done 10 days on each level on the 29th. I have never finished anything before!

    You can do it superhippiechik!!!!!

    I complete L2D8 last night. I did not feel the burn as much since I had to chase after my daughter in between moves. Tonight I go to Zumba at the gym and usually lack the energy to do 30DS when I get home. We shall see.

    Keep up the good work shredding ladies.

    Did L2D5 last night. I plan to fit day 6 in tonight but we'll see. I have a meeting from 7-9. The wings are playing...at 7 I believe...playoff time baby!!! Anyway, I will rush home to catch the end of the game. I will try to hop in and do the shred after that. Good thing its only a solid half hour or I'd definately pass tonight.

    I need to do L2D8 today and I am so not feeling it!!! If I hear her say "how dare you!!!!" I think I might punch my T.V. :explode:
    If I did not have the attention span of a 3 year old I would turn the volume down:angry: ....I am glad to have you ladies:wink: or I might just skip ahead!:devil:
    *emoticon overkill!* :laugh: lol

    Funny you said that, last night I muted the TV and turned on the radio to do 30DS. I didn't feel like listening to Jillian, LOL. I'm glad I have you ladies too, you keep me motivated :happy:
