    Is anyone else dripping sweat on the mat when they do level 2? I feel like some of the moves are easier, but with all the plank moves I guess I'm just closer to the mat and can see the evidence. I wish I had a heart rate monitor to see how much I was really burning while doing this - I track it as circuit training, but some days I wonder if I'm burning more than that.

    Yes especially with level 2 the sweats dripping off on the matt for sure...its hard but I like the different moves and I feel like im burning way more calories on level 2 I too track it as circuit training.

    I'm with you both on that one! I completed day 3 level 2 yesturday and still feel like I am dripping buckets of sweat. I feel like it is really going to start to make changes though. I feel better in the last three days than the first ten days on level one with how quickly my body is changing.

    Let's keep it up everyone!

    We are getting soooo close to halfway through and I think most people are already there or further!

    I had some unexpected things pop up yesterday so I didn't get my workout in. :angry: However, I did Level 1 and most of Level 2 today. Missed the cardio/abs of circuit three due to little kiddos needing my attention. I'm not too upset about it, though, since level 2 is seriously kicking my butt.

    Day 2 of level 2 - yikes! Really hoping it pays off cause its BRUTAL! Proud of myself for 12 days in a row though! Now if I could just be strong when it comes to food. Do fine when its just me at home but when going out to eat or at someone else place for dinner I fall off the wagon big time. :cry: Need to find some will power!!!

    Day 8 and 9 and I did level 3 - you think you were dripping sweat in level 2 - you wait until level 3 lol! yesterday it was very hard work - today I found it a bit easier - but its proper hard core level 3 and weirdly I quite enjoyed it - I must be weird!!!

    I had a massive fail of epic proportions tonight and ate waaaay too much chocolate - I logged my calories and worked out the only way to offset the damage was to do all 3 levels of the shred!! I have learnt my lesson - I will not pig out like that again I hurt now!

    Ok I have now done Level 2 Day 2 almost fell over doing the military press leg lift. I swear I am losing my balance more then when I started this lol. the plank moves at the oblique twists and the planks at the end are killing my left calf but I made it through another day.

    BTW if anyone was curious these were my stats before I started level 2:

    Weight 164-165 (the scale was being weird this day)
    L Bicep: 12
    R Bicep: 12 1/2
    Waist: 28
    Belly Button: 31
    Hips: 41
    L Leg: 23
    R Leg: 23

    Level 1 Start:

    SW:166
    L Bicep: 12 1/2
    R Bicep: 13
    Waist: 29
    Belly Button: 32
    Hips: 42
    L Leg: 23 1/2
    R Leg: 24

    So, I didn't work out yesterday. I tried to get on the treadmill in the morning, but my thighs were burning so I quit after like 15 minutes. And then we had a crazy busy day meeting my new little niece :smile: and running errands all day. This morning, though, I did level 2 and felt like I had a lot more control doing the exercises. I'm definitely noticing a difference in my shape, but the scale's not budging. :sad: If anyone would like to yell at me to make a healthy eating plan and stick to it, I sure wouldn't mind!

    I took two days off over the weekend to let me knees do some recovering, but I got right back on today and did day 3/level 2. Felt a little easier today though I hate the planks with squat thrusts - I don't need ankle problems too! I've noticed a difference in my arms, the definition of my abs, and the muscles in my thighs.

    Day 3 Level 2 done It was a bit easier I used my music and had the 30ds on low so that helped.

    Haha, I think the music for level 2 is even worse than level 1.

    I've only done 2 days of Level 2 so far (life gets in the way... or laziness... probably both) but I'm STILL IN THIS!!!!!! And my boyfriend just delcared a weight-loss competition between the both of us before our vacation in July so I gotta be more strict! In the past I know he's managed to lose about 20lbs in 2 months (granted he had a bit of fat to let go) so I'm a little intimidated.

    BUT. I have Jillian on my side (I can't imagine he'll be doing my DVD?? maybe...)

    I'm tempted to just watch level 3 to see what I've got myself into. Level 2 so far is intense - but not impossible.
