    The first couple days are the hardest, stick with it and push through. It does get easier because you are buliding up your endurance and strength! Good luck to you!!

    Thanks for the encouragement! I've started it two other times awhile ago and quit.. it was so difficult! But this time around, there's not even an option to quit. I'm so sore but about to do Day 2 and I'm just going to keep pluggin away at it. I made a goal list of lbs lost and what I would get if I hit those goals.. should keep me motivated!

    Level 1 - day 3 done! Still very sore - as soon as I stop moving my calves especially sieze up - woke up this morning and stumbled down the stairs I was so sore! Went for a 40 min walk, hobbled for the first bit until they loosened up! Just sat down after doing day 3 - got through the whole thing, (short break for a phone call grr lol) and pushed myself. The pushups still kick my butt - even the easy version! Took my before pics today. Ugh. Theres definate motivation in those!

    1st YOU CAN keep it up like the rest of us. I have faith in you. Just find that determination and the can'ts won't get in the way!

    2nd I list as cardio-Circuit Training General- 25 Minutes

    I list it as circuit training, general as well...puts me at 211 calories! Not bad for 24 minutes!

    Finished L1D6 (I think...lol) today! Felt great...it is definitely getting easier to push through the shoulder moves! Yay!

    Going to take the dog for a walk this afternoon and go for a 1.5 mile run tonight!

    I have a physical fitness test tomorrow at work...1.5 mile run, pushup, and situps! I'm confident I can do it, but I think I might be sore after doing 30DS in the morning! We'll see!

    Good job today everyone!! WE'RE ALL DOING GREAT!

    And welcome to all the newcomers! This thread is amazing!

    L1D8 done.

    I took it a little easier on the squats today. The muscle on the outside and just above my right knee was hurting a little and I'm not sure if I hurt it or if I just hadn't stretched it enough before hand. Still hurts when I bend-not ache, definite hurt but really minor, like someone punched me. I'll be nice to it today, do some light stretching periodically to keep the blood flowing and see how it is in the morning.

    I'm still finding this level hard-not impossible anymore but still a definite workout. I don't know if I'm ready to move onto L2 but I guess we'll see in a few days.

    I did level 2 today. A lot less jumping jacks then level one so that made me a happy girl :) A couple of the moves were more challenging then level 1, but nothing too hard. She does quite a few in plank position. Overall I didn't find it more difficult then level 1, I definitely felt the burn and the sweat!! Good luck to everyone today!!

    I will do day 3 level 1 tonight. Last night when I did D2L1 it was much easier mentally than the first day - maybe because I knew what to expect.

    The moves that are really getting me right now are the side lunges, (I don't remember what they're actually called) with the dumbbell raises.. and the bicycle crunches. ugh! SO hard!

    Great job for everyone getting it done today!! :)

    Less jumping jacks on L2? Oh I like that idea.

    I actually enjoyed level 2 more then level 1! Maybe because level 1 got boring and this was new and exciting!

    Day 7 done. Still at level 1, but moving to level 2 tomorrow. According to my HRM, I am burning fewer calories on level one than when I started, so presumably it's not as hard?

    One week down. We can do this for 30 days!

    Curious. I have been showing a "loss" every Monday. Well I cheated and got on the scale today only to find I have gained. WHAT? Anyone else experiencing this?

    Level 1, day 10 done - now it's on to level 2!

    Amylynn, you just talked me out of doing an extra few days of level 1. Better planks than jumping jacks.

    Melissa, I cheated and got on the scale this morning too, and recorded the number (a good loss:smile: ) in a text file on my desktop, just in case tomorrow's "official" weigh-in is a disappointment. I don't know why I do things like that. My weight shouldn't really matter at this point, now that nearly all of the work I have left to do falls under the general headings of toning, tightening, and defiance of gravity.

    Well done, I am glad you are showing a loss:)

    Day 7 Level 1 done, plus I did a 2 mile walk this afternoon. It is not easier for me as each day goes by. Shoulders and knees hurt, I should get my HRM tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest. I am thinking of moving on to level 2, maybe it will be easier on the knees. I do not think it will ever be easy until I lose 100 pounds, I am just too fat.

    Tomorrow is day 10 for me. Should I wait until Tuesday to get my exact measurements and weight loss? I was planning on doing it tomorrow. I guess one day either way won't matter. How are you all doing this?

    I am only measuring on Day 1 and Day 30. I don't know how everyone else will do it.
    I do however weight every Monday Morning.
