    Just wanted to send a shout out and let you know that I'm still involved in the 30DS. I love it actually...he he he...yeah I feel crazy for saying it but I can feel myself getting stronger and feeling better about myself. I also have been keeping to a strict diet and also do an exercise class at the YMCA.

    I have been frustrated that my weight hasn't changed much but I know I'm building lean muscle...I feel like I should just throw the scale out while I'm doing the 30DS because I don't want to be disappointed when I don't see it move. Anyone else feel that way?

    Good luck everyone and keep up the great work!

    L1D7 complete.

    It did seem a little easier. I dont know if it was because I was exhausted and maybe wasn't trying as hard as before or if my endurance is up and I am starting to get the hang of it. Either way. Looking forward to tomorrow and excited to get to level 2. Didnt feel nauseous afterwards like I usually do

    Good Morning everyone, I probably won’t start back shredding until Wednesday. I ended up with bronchitis so breathing is difficult so jumping up and down will just make matters worse. I am so glad everyone has continued doing their 30 day shred and I see a couple is on level 2 (AWESOME). Please don’t forget to send me your start measurements and for those who are on level 2 please measure yourself again so that we can see if there is a change after completing level 1.

    Welcome aboard all newbie its never to late to join. I’m a bit annoyed because today would have been day 10 for me and tomorrow I would have moved to level 2. Oh well so long as I get back into it that’s all that matters. I know its going to be like starting all over again for me which is why I hated to stop but if the body says stop then I must listen.

    You guys keep up the good work and I will repost all names to make sure I am not forgetting anyone in this challenge.

    Good luck all and happy shredding.

    PammyKY I hope you get better soon! Take care of yourself!!

    Level 1 Day 10 in the books... and I feel ready for level 2. I feel ... good! For the first time after the workout, I feel awesome.

    Level 2 will probably kill me all over again... bring it on Jillian :)

    Tomorrow is my last day of level 1, I'm excited to start level 2 but nervous as well. I still need to get heavier weights. Hope you all are having a good shred.

    So I did level 2 for the first time tonight! It was awesome. Call me weird....but I was ready to move forward and was looking forward to the challenge that level 2 brought. I actually had sweat running down my face after circuit 2! I am looking forward to seeing what results this workout brings.

    I completed LVD9 yesterday and it was great. Call me crazy but I'm getting bored with LV 1 and tonight is day 10 so I feel a light at the end of the tunnel. I've lost two pounds during Lv 1 and feel like I have gained lean muscle. Good luck everyone. I'll post pictures of my progress since I don't have a measuring tape.

    New level two measurements
    Hips 42 (down half an inch)
    Waist 30
    Thigh 24

    It's only been a couple of days since I took these measurements, so I knew it wouldn't really move yet.
    Now for the kicker. My weight:

    160

    Yep, gained more. I am officially up 6 pounds since starting MFP.
    That is crushing to see in print but I know I have lost inches and I am SO much stronger. I will keep at it, I swear, but I may not weigh in any more. :)

    Ready to tackle day 3 of level 2 today. I am really enjoying the challenge of level 2, but my shoulders and elbows do not love that we had to integrate planks into every stinking circuit!! :)

    Level 2 Day 1 done :)

    I actually found it easier than level 1, today, because I had gotten to the point that I knew what was coming on level 1 so I just went right into it each time even if Jillian and crew had a tiny breather. So since I had to learn the moves, I got more "rest".

    The planks may kill me. :)

    I took measurements before starting but I didn't have the trainer at the gym do them, I will do that tonight and it'll probably be more accurate - I am not good at measuring myself. Mine came out all the same as the start except a .25" loss in arms and thighs.

    I feel good :)

    Hi. I would like to join in so I can have some accountability. I just finished level 1 day 8. I missed yesterday, as we were gone all day and night. So far so good. It was tough and pushups are still so hard, but I am getting through it.
