    I've let life get in the way of my shredding and am now a week behind :( I've kept up my walking though and will start Shredding again tomorrow. Somehow managed to drop a pound anyway, so I'm pumped. Hate the fact I got behind. You all are doing so fantastic.

    I have to admit, the more I do level 2 the more I hate it. I hate the last circuit and I am OVER all of the planks. I really do feel a difference in my abs but I just hate doing it. I've fell a little behind and I am determined to be done with the shred by June 16th which means I have 9 days to finish 13(?) days worth. I plan to double up on some days and hopefully get as close to all 30 done as I possibly can. I'm going out of town on the 16th and I'll be camping so I won't be able to do it at all there. I hope everyone else is keeping motivated! I know it's hard :)

    Day 20 finished and officially DONE with Level 2!!!! It's about time... I'm really not looking forward to Level 3 though. I previewed it again today and although to me there seemed to be a lot less work with the weights, it still looks really tough.

    I had to stop shredding cause I hurt my knee....I'm not sure if I should start back...I like the workout but some of the exercises are just hard on my knees and I end up have to substituting alot of things...

    Day 20 and level 2 done in a bit. I have a migaine today and posted awhile ago that I was gonna rest. But I have to finish level 2. I hate it that much. Lol

    So I've got great news!! As far as I'm concerned Level 3 is a cakewalk!! I've been in a real slump today and the last thing I wanted to do was exercise, but I made myself get up and do it. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting, and when I'd completed the last ab exercise and the cooldown music started, I literally found myself saying, "That was it!?" So like I said it's either because of the mood I was in and I ended up having a ton more energy than I expected, or it really is easier....or I'm getting stronger :noway: :blushing:

    Maybe I should go straight to Level 3 then cause Level 2 recked my knees now all I can do is walk for now...hmmm

    I don't even have knee problems but I found myself having to modify all of the plank exercises, like the plank jacks and then burpee type ones too. My knees did not enjoy them at all so I stuck with Anita for all of those and it definitely helped.

    So I am moving onto Level 3 today! Technically I should do level 2 ONE more time and then move on but I just can't. I'm so over it. Now that I'm on a bit of a time crunch to finish this thing I feel I should go ahead and move onto level 3. If i can just get 10 days of level 3 fit into 7 days I'll be a happy camper.

    The past couple days I have been staying under my calories but I've been eating really crappy and drinking and it's just not helping the weight come off. I finally weighed myself again after the first 10 days and I haven't lost a single pound since. I did do my measurements again tho and in the last 10 days I've lost an inch off my thighs and a half an inch off my *kitten* and everything else has stayed completely the same. I am really glad about my thighs finally coming down an inch because they hadn't budged at all until now. 10 more days left! Let's see what happens! :)

    Thighs: 24----24----23
    Bum: 41----40.5----40
    Hips: 37.5---- 37----37
    Belly: 34.5----33----33
    Bust: 34.5---34----34
    Arms: 11 ----11----11

    Total loss so far: 3 pounds and 5 1/2 inches. :)

    i noticed sticking with anita during the plank work outs actually gave me a better work out. anita style made my abs burn, natalie style made my knees ache! I hated level 2... 6 more days till i have to do it again, but i too look forward to level 3 again... one hell of a work out but not a killer! Glad you all are stickin with it!

    Just finished my first day at level 3. I loved not having to do level 2 again! New music, new moves, I got into it a whole lot more. Jillian talks up level 3 so much like it's going to absolutely kill you. Don't get me wrong my muscles were burningggg and it was a great workout but in the warm up Jillian scares you a little bit. It's really not THAT bad. Honestly I don't think it's as bad as level 2 but we'll see. :)

    I just woke up after starting level 3 yesterday and my abs are soreeeeeee! This is the first time that I've actually felt sore after one of the workouts. Or maybe it's just the first time my abs have ever been sore :)

    Either way I think it's a good thing!

    My abs are slightly sore too, but nothing compares to the soreness I'm feeling in my upper back since starting Level 3!! I swear I have never felt this before, it's actually kind of amazing since I think slightly visible (toned) upper back muscles in women are super sexy. It's either the supermans, or the punches with weights that are doing it, because that's when I felt them aching the most throughout my workout today.
