    Wonderful! I started the DS yesterday. We can go on this journey together. I have had this video for 3 weeks and did awesome the first week and then stopped because ( I got to busy). haha. It got tough and a little boring. It would be nice to have a DS partner. I believe it will work.

    30DS L2D7 done! Its starting to get much easier, and I'm moving from following Anita's guidance to attempting Natelie's guidance on about half the moves. The end is in sight!!!

    aj11785, I would just sub in whatever cardio move from L1 or L2 that won't mess up your ankle. As long as you are moving I don't know that it matters so much. :)

    Level 2, Day 7 done. Level 2 feels good! It must be easier than Level 1... or something. I am actually feeling good about Jillian. :)

    I get measured at the gym tomorrow, looking forward to new "official" measurements to compare to.

    I am also feeling better about L2 than L1. I thought it was just me. I do think that since I have done a lot of plank in yoga, that it helps me. Military presses are NOT my friend though. I am also still finding that my knees are in terrible shape and the jumping jacks and jump rope are not good for me. I still do them most of the time, but find that I can't do a huge jumping jack or a double jump rope. Oh well. Other than that... I have had a couple of slip ups when it comes to eating. I have also been eating all of my exercise calories, but got a HRM and found that even though I was underestimating my calories burned, I was totally overestimating them. At least they are right on point now. I forgot that I needed to take measurements for L2. I will do that. Tonight I finished L2D4.

    I totally fell off the wagon this week.
    I've had a horrible schedule this week and by the time I finally make it home, it's 11pm and I'm just too dog tired.

    Keep shredding girls! I'm so proud of all of you!

    Here are my starting measurements:

    Neck: 13
    Bust: 38
    Arms: 12
    Waist: 33
    Hips: 42.75
    Thighs: 25.5
    Weight: 141.8

    Here are my measurements midway during level 2:

    Neck: 13
    Bust: 38
    Arms: 12
    Waist: 31
    Hips: 40.5
    Thighs: 24
    Weight: 143.6

    I am actually gaining weight, but losing inches. I am 99% sure I am retaining water right now. As I mentioned in my previous post, I was guesstimating my calories burned, but purchased a HRM this week and found that my quesstimate was WAY over. I was eating those exercise calories. So, that being said, I am curious to see what happens in the next 2 weeks, BUT my boyfriend comes home this afternoon for 8 days and since he is working out of the country, we will be eating everything he can only eat while home. *bittersweet* :smooched:

    Level 2 Day 8 in the books - I cannot believe I only have 2 more days of level 2... wow!

    My measurements are almost the same as when I started - down a few pounds, down a half inch in bust and waist and a quarter inch in arms, otherwise mostly the same. But that is fine. I like the sweat lol.

    completed level 2 day 6...my measurements are the same maybe because i didnt pay attention to my diet at all the first week i was eating without thinking.. the day i started level 2 i had to step it up because im almost halfway there and i really want to see some results...best of luck everyone....im really happy that all of you guys out there are shredding ..we're in it together =)

    Morning all!!! I played 30DS hookey yesterday!!! LOL. But I got up at 5:30am and was back at it today! L2D8 is done, can't believe I'm about to move on to day 30. Cherry I could see how it would be very easy to overestimate 30DS calories!! Suzandees just get back at it when you get a chance.

    Thank you all for your well wishes I am doing much better. I am hoping to start back on my 30DS tomorrow. I guess I will have to start from day 1 again. I hope everyone has been well. I had lost weight because I was sick but needless to say once I started eating again I gained 3 pounds. I am back on track now and keeping my food journal. I had a goal to be at a certain weight by my birthday Oct 19 but that means I would have to loose 18.5 before that date. Not sure if I will make it but I am going to give it the old college try.

    Hello all!
    Pammyky I'm glad to see you are feeling better!

    I skipped again this AM because my neck is killing me! I still have 2 days on level2 but may move to level 3 as my neck has been bothering me since I started level 2! I think the planks are causing the problem.
  • jaimieht
    jaimieht Posts: 106
    Level 2 done! Level 3 starts tomorrow :) Anyone done it yet? I am a wee bit nervous.

    Hpwbouto - it could be the planks, I tend towards neck pain and they bug me too - I have to keep telling myself over and over to focus on the ground and not look down towards my feet.

    Planks in 3? I can hope... not. :)

    Jaimieht- I skipped the day 10 level 2 and went on to level 3, circuit one has lots of planks. I do stare at my feet maybe that is the problem. I didn't do all of level 3 as I didn't want to be in pain all day so maybe I will try it again tomorrow.

    Level 3 Day 1 in the books...

    felt good but omg hard. But hard in a strong way, not a cardio way, so I think I must have improved. lol

    L2 D8 done -- I sure didn't think I was going to last this out the first few days of Level 1, but it is seeming to be more doable. I'm kinda curious about what Level 3 will be like?

    Level 3 Day 2 in the books... I am regaining my love for the shred.

    I think level 2 is just a dud. lol. I loved level 1 and I love level 3. Level 2.... blech. :)

    ok I admit level 2 is totally kicking my but and so I have been having a hard time getting the motivation to do it. Am actually afraid. I can get thru it but afterwards I am totaly wiped. It HAS been my tom this week. but that is no excuse I am going to get off the puter and do level 2 D4 right now. Maybe doing it earlier in the day will make it easier and I wont pass out on the floor afterwards :) Hoping the last 5 days off wont have pushed me back to level 1 again.

    Level 2 stinks! Just push through you can do it!

    Level 3 Day 3 in the books... 7 more shredding days... and um, no six pack lmao
